At the request of another forumite, here is an interaction that turns any creature with GENERAL_POISON into random-ish assorted fruits.

So this started as a silly laser that turned things into fruit, and has now expanded into FRUCTOMANCY, that being wizards that travel the land and turn creatures into various pun-spouting fruits. Next update will be POWER FRUITS, which grant powers when consumed enabling you to become some kind of questionably horrific wizard with a batman-level variety of situational powers. This will also come with additional fruits.

I'm going to be honest here and say that I can't effectively test for worldgen functionality, but that there are no errors and by all rights FRUCTOMANCERS should function exactly as necromancers, learning how to transmogrify living things into fruits and recording their knowledge in books/slabs/etc. The tokens involved are simple according to the wiki.

Deities can also "curse" a mortal with knowledge of fructomancy. It's more of a curse on everyone else, but hey, maybe that was the goal. Who can know the mind of [Shedim, the Deep Oranges of Dancing]?



POSSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
- APPLE!
- BANANA?!
- MANGO!
- STRAWBERRY....?
- PINEAPPLE!!!
- SUNBERRY.
- GRAAAAPES!
- ORANGES...!

They will be immobile and helpless. Sadly, I never got around to making them drop the actual associated edible fruit. They just drop leaves. Affected creatures will now drop their proper fruits upon death as of 2.0.

I did have to rip it out of the creature raws it was actually intended for, so let me know if you find missing resources or some other bug, I'm sure I can get it fixed. Everything works. Comes with instructions on how to plug it into a creature. I apologize for the minor spam upon use. Spam is for babies and babies can't use the internet so I removed it.

FRUCTOMANCY
-Feel free to try it out in Arena Mode.
-Probably allows for FRUCTOMANCERS to be active in worldgen
-DEITIES can "curse" a mortal with the knowledge of FRUCTOMANCY
-Every version is puns now. If you hate the puns too much, I guess I could make a non-pun version. I think it helps keeps the intrinsic horror of the situation light and happy.
-Bug detected. Sunberry does not drop sunberry upon death. Will be fixed.

Spoiler: ***2.0 UPDATES*** (click to show/hide)

Additional fruits - Sunberry, Grapes, and Orange.
Fruits now drop their appropriate fruit instead of a leaf. Apples will drop Custard-Apples, Orange drops an orange, etc.
Added color to the creature tiles.
Improved sprite art.
Spam text removed from interaction.
Fruit probability updated to try and compensate for additional variety.
Now properly installs by copying the raw folder into the DF folder (what a concept)
Puns were requested, so now there is a version wherein your little sentient fruit-horrors will spout questionably clever wordplay.

Best mod

Well that's something.

I don't think I need to download this because I'm sure it does exactly what it says on the tin.

[Dunamisdeos]

It works in my Frankenstein-esque mod testing dwarf fortress build. I am mostly sure that I got all the resources it needs packaged in there in order to work.

[Eric Blank]

This is pretty neat! Thanks!

I'm assuming you tried something like this?

Code: [Select]

[EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT:BY_CATEGORY:FRUIT:FRUITSTUFF]
[EBO_ITEM:PLANT:NONE:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT_MAT:FRUITSTUFF]

Nah, looking for an itemcorpse thing. I just never got around to making the apple-creature drop actual apples, etc.

They drop leaves, which, since you generally pulp the apple-creature entirely when you kick it across the arena, is also accurate. If you know how to make it drop apples I'd be down to add it and mention you as a credit to the grandiose dream that is !!! THE FRUIT ENGINE !!!.

[Max™]

I't be surprised if it wouldn't drop apples if you just put them in the ebo like that.

[bloop_bleep]

It'd be cool if the fruit creatures are auto-killed by the gas (just give max necrosis to everything), since then you wouldn't have to manually kill them for them to drop the actual fruits.

[Jerry The Hellbound]

If i remember correctly, i could spawn things like sunshine from sunberries before, not their leaves, but the drink. But i cant really remember how, so ill go and tinker around, see what i can find to actually get the actual fruits you have here.
I would also like a Sunberry added to... !!! THE FRUIT ENGINE !!!.

[Dunamisdeos]

Wow, I did not expect this level of interest.

Additional !!! FRUIT !!! is on the way for the !!! ENGINE !!!.

[Eric Blank]

Mind if I kinda copy the structure of your interaction for summoning things with a single interaction too? Will of course use my own code

Of course, not like I can copyright a technique.

Happy to help.

[Eric Blank]

Thanks. And this one works a lot better than individual interactions for each, actually.

[Dunamisdeos]

Updating !!!THE FRUIT ENGINE!!! to 2.0.

Details in OP shortly.

UPDATE:
Ok so, fruits now drop proper fruits upon death is the best thing. Bunch of other stuff too.

The weights for the fruits are improved but not quite right, as it seems to favor sunberries and apples. I'll figure that out better next time.
