ENTER THE BLOB
Could someone please do this?
I'm just wondering, I would really like to see the interesting mechanics this would entail. For example:
-Every blob would just be sentient liquid
-boil into sentient gas?
-Drinking other people
-melt into hive mind?
-reproduction vat?
-maybe they could be frozen into statues?
-other civs turn into wereblobs
-transport through buckets?
-curse that turns other civs into blob permanetly

I am NOT a modder, but I've been thinking about this stuff, and I would love to see someone use it.

Most of what you're asking for isn't doable neatly.  But you can make a blob creature and use it as a civ.

Liquid-based creatures die really easily.  If I were to make a blob-based civ, I'd want them to at least be made of some kind of squishy solid so they wouldn't die in one hit.  Maybe with the consistency of fat, and an "engulf" attack functionally similar to a bite with the entire body.

If you want a useful base to start with, you could copy the cave blob, make it bigger, give it a body part that can grasp, make it [INTELLIGENT], and copy the dwarf section of entity default for the civ.

-Every blob would just be sentient liquid
-boil into sentient gas?
-Drinking other people
-melt into hive mind?
-reproduction vat?
-maybe they could be frozen into statues?
-other civs turn into wereblobs
-transport through buckets?
-curse that turns other civs into blob permanetly

Things that are possible:
-Every blob would just be sentient liquid
[Just as long as their tissues don't have TISSUE_LEAKS they won't instantly melt if they attacked, however just make sure there is a kill organ or they might be too OP]

-Drinking other people
[Kinda, if you give them NO_EAT and only allow them to drink, you can make a custom reaction to turn organic foods, or just living creature meats into a DRINK for them to "consume"]

-reproduction vat?
[With new social norms it may or may not be possible, however have a FEMALE pet caste that you can take along that counts as this Vat, and normal blobs are males. this vat should keep pumping out blobs until it dies.]

-maybe they could be frozen into statues?
[Difficult to leave to just "freeze to death" as there is an item_corpse but you can't say what death type, so freezing to death isn't the only way to have them drop/leave a statue on death]

-other civs turn into wereblobs
[Custom Curse]

-curse that turns other civs into blob permanetly
[Also Custom Curse]

Things that are not Possible:
-boil into sentient gas?
-melt into hive mind?
-transport through buckets? (I mean you could make a minecart that is a "bucket" but they won't use it under normal pathing and would require rails)


This creature is actually fairly simple and could be created rather quickly.

I can create the creature. I'll have to leave the entity definitions to someone else, though.
