Was running a test fort when my snowy pyartly haunted embark caught fire.

As it turned out, scholars with bonfire bound codexes were arriving at my fort, who then swiftly transformed into !!scholars!! standing in a blood snow soaked grass fire.

'twas funny, if nothing else.

Sorry! I fixed that in the current version! Don't know if it's made its way to any mods that incorporate Bonfire, though.

I did the same thing by making "flaming nuggets" which i used to start fires at workshops while testi g stuff. caravans would sometimes bring flaming nugget stuff and burn everything.

I *think* I fixed it already, but if you have a 2018 version I might as well use that instead.

Now that you mention it, I saw a burning wagon at one point.  I thought it might have spawned on top of a grass fire, but now that I think about it mugs made out of bonfire or something is a more likely culprit.

Because dry biomes should randomly catch fire. Or should I make a plant who drops flowers seasonally that are of BONFIRE material. Which plants could be good  candidates for dry biome bushfires?

[Eric Blank]

I understand eukalyptus is highly flammable, hence australia going up in smoke every year.
I would stick to some very rare vermin that only come out in summer in certain biomes and a species of web spinning spider endemic and ubiquitous in those same areas, tbh. Hide the cats, remove the spider webs.

As I scroll around the map selecting a place to embark, the neighbouring Hobbit civ (there's only one) flicks between No Trade areas and blank ones (can trade). Anyone know what might cause this? There's no impassable terrain.

The only cause I can think of is that they have wagon_pullers but no pack_animals. Every hobbit town has a population of wagon puller animals. Are pack animals needed to trade at longer distance, perhaps?

I think an *evil* fire-tree would be a great rarity, for savanna/grassland and the like.

Also, I recommend you check the 2018 Bonfire update - fixed randomly appearing bonfire objects with [SPECIAL] and [NO_STONE_STOCKPILE].

EDIT: An unrelated discovery. Civs need animals to spread; if using [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PRESENT] for forced specific bests, variation-based animals like giants and animal-people are irregular and may result in civs with no available animals, leading to starvation. Lovely.

Slowly working on adding animal and giant versions of all the non-sapients that aren't (semi)megabeasts and things like cave dragons and such, turns out adding a "z" as the first letter after creature_ enables you to add creature variations working without modding the original files, presumably because the base creatures are already loaded... also, turns out there is a LOT of sharks and fish

[Eric Blank]

Maybe you can skip some of the less interesting varieties, then?
Also, would your shark and fish people be like merpeople with a fish tail they can slither around on or like that one cartoon from the early 90s. Either of those could be pretty badass.

Gave a civ access to pretty much all animals in their area, they ended up with nasty things like werebeasts and night creatures. There were fatalities. Oops.

Turns out, "Able to survive on land" is NOT a requirement for pets to spawn in cities if they were added via the [ANIMAL] entity token

May have air-drowned an ocean's worth of giant octopi <.<

I just copied the sperm whale man raw and changed some values, so whatever it does for sperm whale men is how they work
