that sounds nice but plants dont fly around in swarms...

[DreaDFanG]

These bees, though they dont freeze anymore are still suffacating...right now I'm so pissed at these bugs...

[Wiles]

I made a giant mantis, and it kept falling over. If I added lungs it would fall over and suffocate.

I'm not sure what made it happen, but I re-did the body from scratch and it worked. I would guess the falling over and dieing has something to do with an error in the body, possibly how they are connected. I skimmed through yours and nothing caught my eye, but usually it's that one little hard to find mistake that makes things not work.

[DreaDFanG]

I know what you meen and by chance would you post your mantis so I can cross refrence? if in the least for creative support.

[Wiles]

It's nothing fancy - I should probably rename some of the party to be more bug-like.

I think a giant insect mod would be much cooler than a realistic bee mod with pollination and stuff. I mean, who doesn't want to be swarmed by giant fire ants or eaten by a giant caterpillar? Someone with skill should make one.

[Armok]

Hornets are almost like bees, right?

I'm quite angry nobody remembered this.  :mad:

Tee hee.

[Chthon]

I bee-lieve that your bees suffocate due to not having a passage from their lungs to their mouth.  Add a [throat] and see what you get.

Yes, your hornets are broken, at least on my game. They pass out all over the map and take forever to move just a few spaces. You forgot lungs or throats or something.

[Chthon]

Yeah, I definately think that right now, if a creature breaths, it needs one body part with a [lung] tag to allow for processing of oxygen, one body part with a [throat] tag for bringing air into the lungs, and one body part with [mouth] tag or [aperture] tag for allowing the air in in the first place.  Not sure which is necessary for the mouth because every [mouth] tag I see also has [aperture] with it.

They are *not* broken, you did something wrong installing them, most likely you forgot the body_hornet.txt or it was not properly named or copied, there is also various other explanations, like you using an old version of DF.
They are NOT broken, they have been tested by many people and work flawlessly.

Sure they work, but they're useless without being able to use axes or picks.

They are for adventurer mode, they are not SUPPOSED to dig or deforest!  :roll:
