Last question: How do I get a stockpile to accept my BLOCKS of CREATURE_MAT:DWARF:BONE

Without their Dead_Dwarf tag they no longer get piled with the Corpses, and they're not even judged to be Refuse at this point.

You'd need a duplicate wood or stone material called "dwarf bone" as the product of your reactions. It can have all the exact same material properties, but just needs [IS_STONE] instead of other identifying tokens.

I used the same method to make rock salt and wax training bullets for my gun mod.

Bleh, forgot I had to do that last time. Thanks.

Is there something up with the NO_CONNECTIONS_FOR_MOVEMENT token? I'm making a glass golem type creature with said token, however when their feet get damaged they fall over - doesnt happen if the legs are damaged, though. Thought that token would prevent it from happening?
What I notice is that the bronze colossus lacks this token but the same doesn't happen if their feet get damaged. Is it because of NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT? That'd be somewhat annoying as I want them to have an energy core serving as a thought part that can be a sort of weak spot, if spears were to be used for example.

I think [NO_CONNECTIONS_FOR_MOVEMENT] just makes it so that if a joint breaks, they can still move the arm or whatnot?

[STANCE] is still tied to upright movement, IIRC.

Yeah, if you remove [STANCE] they won't go prone when they lose that body part.

I got a few last minute questions

1. Can Giant creatures be given the [TRAINABLE] and will it only Effect them and not there normal variants?

2. If a normal creatue that has humanoid and giant variants was given [TRAINABLE], does it carry onto the Giant variant?

3. Is it possible to create a new source of drinks? Such as Tea? Or even have humans, elfs, ect. collect containers of water? (reason is because for other races that arnt alchohal dependant tend to get drunk and slow down regaurdless of water source and milk choices... lol)

4. Can a Semimegabeast/megabeast spawn in the subterran/hell? I tried to set the biomes for them but it seems to not wanna make the world in that case.

5. Is it possible to purely lock a inorganic material (stone or ores) to savage/evil/good biomes?


(I think I forgot a few questions)

1. Yeah.
2. No. Those creature variations specifically remove [TRAINABLE] tags as part of their transformation.
3. I suppose you could make a plant produce a brewed drink that's alcohol in all ways except for the drunkenness syndrome. You'd have to make a new material template for that.
4. lol i dunno
5. No. Geology has no respect for biome alignment or wildness.

For gathering and storing water you could just make a reaction at the brewer that inputs a bucket of water and outputs a barrel full of water. I wonder if humans would prefer barrels of water over well/river water? Hmm.

Semimegabeasts should totally be able to have biomes. The [SEMIMEGABEAST] token is not related at all to biomes? I don't think so anyway.

For evil/good-specific ores, you'd need to procure them from a creature or plant. Golems with ITEMCORPSE or monsters with EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT boulders may be suitable depending on your idea, or if you wanted to be more ambitious you could make a tree that drops gem-fruit.

I'll have to look into that for water. Wait, couldn't I just not buy beer and they would live fine drinking milk and water out of rivers/underground? lol

And I have tried it, but every single time I try it, when generating world, it tends to restart the world once the civ placement hits 0, and when it does work, going through legends doesn't show the beast, so I just switched it back to a normal biome

In vanilla, dwarves can't drink milk. In fort mode, anyway. Any liquid can be drunk by an adventurer, and anything in a mug used to be drunk by NPCs, although that may have changed.

I've tried making subterranean megabeasts and it led them to not spawn at all, not even in Legends. So I'm fairly sure they're restricted to being above-ground.

Is it possible the RNG just hasn't given yet you the megabeast, but it can spawn?
Try setting a world to have 50 mega beasts, and 2 years, then look through the megabeasts in legends and see if they spawn. If not, sorry. I haven't tested this myself.

What biomes do some of the tokens that IS_REGION uses entail?

Specifically I'm wondering which biomes do the GRASSLAND and HILLS tokens specifically include. A lot of the other ones are obvious, but what about these two?
