    Fascinating. Could I borrow the stressifying feature for OldGenesis beastmen and mind flayers? I almost-never build a wall or bridge to keep the enemies away, since "enemy army destroys wall" feature hasn't been programmed yet.

    Should elves have war-trained giant birds with a spit(drop burning torch) attack interaction?

    Cats now spread infectious joy to my stress prone wild dwarves. Still experimenting, but theoretically will give them a wide range of behaviour issues that they can spread to their friends which should keep them deliriously happy and breeding like rabbits. Let's see how this plays out.

    --
    A couple of years in, no-one's stressed, people are actually making new friends and all the starting seven are sleeping with the manager.
    So that seems to have worked nicely.

    I, someone who has never modded anything before in my life, am currently staring at RAWs and contemplating replacing dwarves with dragons, Flight Rising style.

    After the fire had burned down all of the wooden next boxes on the surface, Mottled Petrel was reluctant to replace them with more wooden nest boxes. Instead, he placed the remaining store of wooden nest boxes in the dormitory for any aspiring koopa mothers.

    The nest boxes were immediately overrun by helmet snakes.

    In order to keep on topic, I've managed to make a Iron Colossus in the shape of a six-tentacled spider with a stinger tail. Is it possible for it to inject liquid basalt into a target via the tail?

    1. That's awesome.

    2. It should be.

    That SHOULD do the trick, but I literally just whipped it up in like...five minutes, so I don't actually know if it'll work. Let me know if it does happen to work. I kinda like that idea lol.

    Good way to start. Do something outrageous, then spend the next couple of years of modding time trying to balance everything else to work with it.

      Oh shoot, didn't see that till now. And sure, I'd be glad to contribute; OldGenesis was actually the first mod I ever played! Here's a pastebin link. It's honestly a bit wonky with how it works; it's currently a greeting that targets only dwarves, since the other USAGE_HINT tokens don't seem to work through walls like they should. Shouldn't be an issue with mind flayers and beastmen. Using it on things that might actually show up or end up as peaceful could be problematic, though. Be warned that I also have yet to balance it, though I imagine you'll be making a fair amount of changes to the exact numbers and the likes anyways.

      Yeah we got in peaceful orcs and goblin-like orcs in OldGenesis. And three goblin subspecies(creatures), goblin, groblin(cruder, less metals), gobline(scholarly). And Yeti poets. Can't put Demoralize_Siege_Taunt interaction on all orc creatures.

      Adjusted the interaction a little:
      "If no hint is specified, the interaction will be used whenever a valid target is available. Verify"
      Spoiler (click to show/hide)
      Don't see the greeting usage hint.

      Created a spreadsheet of species and their corresponding heights the other day for my project. Going to use it to 'standardize' my species' sizes based on how much they differ from one 'baseline' size, ie. X is z% bigger than Y, multiply Y's size by z% to get X's size. Anyone have any idea on the best way to come up with my baseline size? The sizes I'm working with are in height, not cm^3, so currently I'm thinking I'll have to just estimate what a certain size would equate to. Later on I'll probably make some adjustments based on how 'big' the species is based on testing and personal observations of the artwork itself.

      Well, if you have both a height in m (from your spreadsheet) and a size in cm^3 (from DF's raws) for some creature A, then if another creature B is k times as tall as A according to your spreadsheet, then the size you should enter in that creature's raws would be about k^3 times the size of A.

      Particularly given the size discrepancies between some of the breeds :o it is entirely possible for the largest dragons to accidentally ingest the smaller dragons

      Yeah, that's worked. Using its current raws, it took down something like twenty to thirty fully equipped dwarves (all skills at 'accomplished', all armour and weapons were iron) without dying. Steel axes and such take it down easy, though - died in a few seconds to ten dwarves with the same loadout after they got upgraded to steel.

      Thanks for the help.

      I am ambushed by humans, and for a change, they do not drop dead immediately. I bash the master with my ladle, and he is propelled away. While in mid-air, he dies of old age.

      I'm glad I could help! You should be able to use that as a template to help make other odd/horrific creatures.

      i would like to reiterate i have no gd idea what i'm doing, and even less idea of how i'm gonna shuffle these parts to make the different breeds.

      Wings? Oh. I suspect you're going to run into hideous pathing issues if you make a flying playable civ. Will be fun in Adventurer though.

      I Shall Keep That In Mind.
      the best/worst part is that there's gonna be multiple breeds of many different sizes. probably only the smaller breeds will be predominantly fliers, and there's a few that are fully terrestrial.
