Giant Cave Spiders - Introducing them to Spider-less for
« on: May 22, 2008, 11:45:00 pm »

Is it at all possible to bring a Giant Cave Spider to your spiderless fortresses via trading? I understand that the spider would have to have a hostile target for it to fire it's webbing at (Goblins in a confined area would work, right?), but that much shouldn't be an issue. Any idea if this is possible at all?

In modding, a whole new world of possibilities opens up.


However, in vanilla DF, you cannot import giant cave spiders.  You can't import anything that has the [PET_EXOTIC] tag.  It is possible to mod them into a more purchasable state, and I've even done it a couple times.  Mind you, if you keep the base values, they cost a little more than an iron anvil.
