Creating a custom tree but having trouble with custom growth dropping off. It appears on the tree, but it just won't drop off (at least not in the arena). Nothing comes up in the errorlog. Any advice?

[Jazz Cat]

I'm not familiar with how long the [GROWTH_TIMING] token lasts, but are you sure you're waiting long enough for the growth to go out of season and fall off? Alternatively, does time pass in the arena?

Other than that, maybe try [GROWTH_DROPS_OFF_NO_CLOUD] instead and see what happens.

Yes, I'm sure the growth timing was set correctly because it was identical to the growth print which I was able to observe. And I did try no cloud.

After further testing, I've found that it falls off of branches fine. So it seem that it's just not possible to make mushroom caps drop items.

[bloop_bleep]

How do you specify which syndrome an interaction induces? The wiki says that syndrome is specified in the [SYNDROME] tag, but there's no [SYNDROME] tag listed in the interaction token page. What gives?

[scamtank]

Yeah, it's a little spread out at times.

Oh! Thanks. Now a second question.

How exactly does CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE work? The wiki just says that its arguments are "Attribute:percentage:fixed boost", which I don't quite understand. Does it mean you have to specify both the percentage boost and fixed boost (and both will be applied, in some order) or just one can be specified?

[scamtank]

Yeah, both are used at once. Given Toady's precedent, leaving out arguments wouldn't do. I suppose you could just leave a 100 for the percentage or a zero for the fixed increase.

[scourge728]

Can someone explain what the problem with these that causes them to not show up in the embark stuff is?

And yes I did give dwarf the permitted reaction stuff

[pikachu17]

It is possible that the dwarves simply don't find the stones. I don't know how it works, but not all dwarf civs have all stones. Usually they are missing a few. Make a few worlds, and see if they sometimes have the stones. Do you have anything in the errorlog?

[scourge728]

So, I corrected a minor error, and am now getting chrismium bars, despite the fact that the other two (which are needed to make them) are still not appearing, and I also noticed that the game doesn't recognize the sleigh body part despite it existing

How exactly would I do in order to make fur grow on chitin plus making it possible to shear the fur, when it has grown to a proper length?

[Manzeenan]

So, will you be able to make any creature classes that you want, for purposes of race unique animals? 

So like.... [CREATURE_CLASS:DWARF_USABLE]

That's one way. You can also just point the [ANIMAL] entity setting at a single creature, no classes required. You can pile on as many [ANIMAL] sections as you like. I just tried this:

Code: [Select]

[ANIMAL]
[ANIMAL_TOKEN:HORSE]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_MOUNT]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_WAGON_PULLER]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_PACK_ANIMAL]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_PET]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_SIEGE]
[ANIMAL]
[ANIMAL_TOKEN:CAT]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_MOUNT]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_WAGON_PULLER]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_PACK_ANIMAL]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_PET]
[ANIMAL_NEVER_SIEGE]
[ANIMAL]
[ANIMAL_TOKEN:LION_MAN]
[ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PRESENT]
[ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PET]
[ANIMAL_ALWAYS_SIEGE]
...and sure enough, all cats were gone, all horses were gone and I can buy furry muscle men at embark.



This should open the way for some fuckery.

So wait... can you assign labors? is it like buying more starting dwarves?

[nicfer]

Can you change the number of initial dwarves, and migrants quantity? I find that seven are too few, and maybe to compensate that, I can lower the size of migrant waves.

(Yes, I searched this and the Fortress Mode and Gameplay Questions forums, but I didn't found an answer. Maybe because I'm bad with searches and didn't use the correct keywords)

[scamtank]

So wait... can you assign labors? is it like buying more starting dwarves?

On the surface, it seems like it. One picked up a pick and dug out a channel just fine. I thought I read something about migrating ones having problems.

I cant remember where but i think read about like gremlins being tamed and walked around normally but couldnt do anything until they petitioned to join the fort
