Loving these updates so far. First thing I'm making is a full-lifecycle Purring Hornet that injects 25000-heat magma-poison into people, making them instantly explode. Mwahaha.

Full life cycle? Polymorphism isn't going to extend that far this time around. I believe Toady has said (and I've repeated a couple times) that body parts on the same creature won't be able to change that drastically during the life cycle.

Well, yet. Though probably not anytime soon

Diseases?  Will a diseased animal injecting you give you an illness?

I think that may very well be a possiblity for this release, yes.  I think he's going to start working on diseases and poisons after wounds (which hopefully will be coming up in the next week or so).

Even better: a special itemcorpse for some kind of parasytic disease. Well, yeah, we can only make vermin via itemcorpses. But still... It could be fun, like in this episode:

cocoon animals might be possible...  Can't you drop a living critter as a corpse?  (Purring Maggot dies and leaves behind a 'child' Hornet that grows up quickly)

I could be wrong

MyLittlePonyBuiltMyHotRod, this is your first warning. I would like to direct you to read our forum's FAQ and posting guidelines before posting again. Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate.

My neighborhood has underground wires and thus only particularly bad lightning storms can generally knock out the power and even then temporarly. (Blackouts that last a few hours get in the news and sometimes even first page... though with the increase in gun murders... I don't know... Poor Canada... I fully support the handgun ban!)

We shall mail the electricity, and he can keep the envelopes for when his power goes out again!

 PERFECT PLAN!

 But yes, weather can be a bastard. Even worse when you live somewhere that seems to fear the weather like some psychopathic old world god.

I guess it is our fault for not giving Toady a generator all these years.
