[Enemy post]

In the Arena, it's possible to instant-kill anything by putting water and lava into their space. It instantly freezes into rock, which deletes the character.

[Jerry The Hellbound]

What's going on is me trying to find a fix to the game crashing while loading some sites, and not being able to load the world again after.
Such as a cave, and before it was a hall, but i just crash a lot just randomly.

[Shonai_Dweller]

Testing raids and tribes, trying to provoke one of my skulking animal person tribes into attacking to see if it's possible. ([SKULKING] should prevent them from attacking generally, but I'm hoping raids bypass that).

Unfortunately lost the fortress to a tribe of yetis instead (not skulkers, somewhat op). They ambushed right by my gate and didn't hang around before charging in (thanks to latest siege bug fix!).

Strange thing is, none of my tribal civs (skulkers or non-skulkers) has siege triggers (all set to 0). So, besides the ones I provoke, they shouldn't, in theory, attack at all. Very interesting.

Yeti tribe's non-siege triggers are all set to 1, so maybe that's effecting ambushes? Or maybe it's just that the yetis don't like me picking on defenseless skulking monkey people.

I decided to add War Worms and Battle Beetles for my Bugmen mod, and I may have gone overboard. War Worms can kill two Giants in a row with their bite attacks and giant mandibles. Adjustments may be necessary.

[Shonai_Dweller]

Strange mood hit and have now added creature classes to (almost) everything. Makes my animal-person tribe entities' raws much neater.

Whoever knew there were such a variety of monkeys? But, oh no, now the realization that most of them don't have giant or animal-person forms is gnawing at the back of my mind...

[Needle_fingers]

In an effort to add a ton of gross descriptions to goblin gear i have found that 3192 extra items for the game to parse may cause it to crash. hmmph.

Strange mood hit and have now added creature classes to (almost) everything. Makes my animal-person tribe entities' raws much neater.

Heh, modding really is a lot like strange moods isn't it? I've been on a bit of a roll myself with my good biome revamp - nearly halfway done with all the creatures, though I'll still have to do plant types and weather types later. Can't wait to embark on a good marshland and have my citizens start defending themselves against human-sized centipedes. That's gonna be a lot of fun.

Just remembered my animal-speeds data, which I gathered for the huge 2014 update. Might be useful to someone.

Maybe give them an interaction on fleeing that would remove their intelligence and ability to speak temporarily, making them "go berserk" or "lose their mind." If they use it before the player kills them, then the body parts can be consumed. You could also try making an inorganic extra butcher object associated with the body parts, the way gizzard stones are, iirc those dont count as part of the creatures remains, technically, but the object used could be a piece of meat.

I tried to make bones shearable for a creature, but it doesnt seem to have worked. Will require more study.
Also i still cant recreate that stupid creature being made of cheese bug. It is taunting me.

Im going to make a bunch of animals made entirely out of animate cheese just for the hell of it.

[deathpunch578]

currently making some small edits on kobold camp to make it a bit more kobold like (if that makes sense)

Spoiler: edits made (click to show/hide)

kobolds have scale colors (green,red,blue,black,white), but civilizations don't seem to have different colors (a civ of black scale kobolds will only have black scale kobolds)
added a tail to kobolds
changed some job names
kobold babies are called hatchlings
changed their language to goblin (for now, if I can find a translated version of the d&d draconic language I will use that)

there are a few things I'm trying to figure out how to do
1. change beds so kobolds sleep on planks of wood, a large smoothed rock, or some cloth (but also have normal beds still exist for other races)
2. make dragons rulers of civilazations
3. make kobolds able to butcher and eat other races
4. have kobolds not have any favorite drinks
5. a way to distill water/store water

[ZM5]

1, 3 and 4 wouldn't be possible to my knowledge. Don't think 5 is either for fort mode races?

[Warlord255]

I'm preparing to take a stab at more revised animal-men in the vein of the Bugmen mod, so I decided to tackle a particular challenge: Vegetarians!

Due to the lack of a [VEGETARIAN] counterpart to the [CARNIVORE] tag, the only way to forbid animal-persons from eating meat is to define a bunch of SPECIFIC_FOOD tags. Pandas prove that one creature with multiple such tags works correctly.

Here's the complete list, sorted into like categories - this only covers plants with an EDIBLE_RAW leaf, fruit, or nut, and only covers plants that make sense to eat raw - no biting into onions or lemons. Since this was based off DF Revised 1.5.1, some nuts may not be properly edible if you use these with vanilla raws.

Because adventurers can't gather plants (yet), applying these to a playable race means you'll have to trade for edibles like a civilized person rather than being a flesh-eating murder hobo.

You can make a reaction to make beds out of cloth or rock or rags or whatever you want, and they probably would function just as well.
