Trying to add and bugtest reactions and interactions. Its slow to make progress, and ive recently gotten a report that syndromes with no end date that grant interactions are seemingly disappearing anyway. I have no idea why, or how, or where to start testing for that particular issue.

Got some divine intervention going on now, just praying to the gods for artifacts. Theres no way to grant an actual artifact without dfhack, which i dont know how to use, but still, you can get some neat stuff from the gods. Next up is getting them to kill you.

Ok. Figured out that worldgen can't produce wooden crossbows or bolts apparently. It's metal or nothing. Just give natural crossbow skills to elves and wander around you'll find a whole load of elf hunters with nothing but an empty quiver.

So Dark Elves now have a choice of giving up their crossbows altogether or forever having to rely on twisted wood spirits to send their bolts and arrows true.

Tough decision. Think I'll go work on hobbits and their vile ways instead for a while.

How did you test the wooden crossbow bolt thing? Is it included in the entity correctly? Not trying to accuse you or anything, I've just never heard of this but if it's true then it's good to know. Have you tried bolts out of a custom material? Do those get omitted during world gen too?

I'll test it a bit more. There's a couple of things I may have missed. Custom material bolts work just fine, that's what the dark elves are using. I just didn't want them building their crossbows out of it.

Thanks for testing

You can simply make a new material for them to use that is technically a metal but has the properties of wood

But imagine Urist McSmelter smelting wood bolts and getting wood bars out of it.

Yeah but if I do that don't I lose the variety of woods that other wooden stuff gets? Also that probably won't help normal elves make wooden crossbows, will it?

Damn computer just stopped working, might be a while before I get to look at this in more detail.

I released the update to my creature pack I was working on. You can now add Godzilla, lawnmowers, and ninjas to the game. Birdemic's creature has also been improved.

Here it is.

I really need to make that page look less boring someday.

Did someone say, birdemic?

[overseer05-15]

I just kicked a bronze colossus in the groin and the injured part collapsed

[Enemy post]

Godzilla?

[overseer05-15]

Godzilla?

No, a golem I'm modding in.

[Lordsservent-san]

Well, I'm experimenting with turning tissues intoned metals. It's certainly interesting how this changes the way attacks work(fun fact:with metal muscles you can punch limbs off).

That's pretty metal, if you ask me.
