You need to give them [SEVERONBREAKS] so they'll explode everywhere. You don't need to do anything but crank up the homeotherm, shove severonbreaks in and hide your dwarves. Goodbye, kittens~

[LegoLord]

So they won't die unless they have the sever tag, eh?  I knew that was needed for the actual explosion, but first I wanted to get rid of a cat already in the fort, and just forgot to put that in the OP.

Edit:  Still isn't working

[The Scout]

Put [HOMEOTHERM:99999] and you should be good.

I remember reading somewhere that [HOMEOTHERM] only affects newly created creatures. Try keeping those setting until you get a kitten.

Wasn't that newly generated creatures? IIRC there was some talk that with the current version you need to create a new world for the Thermonuclear Catsplosion to work, I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know if its true. Ah, and make sure you got temperatures turned on in the init, just in case you forgot.

[wagawaga]

Found it, it's in the Wiki, under Catsplosion.

Quoting:
"This no longer works in version 40d, as HOMEOTHERM changes only affect newly created creatures".

[Malrin]

Well this is frustrating.

I'm being attacked by Orcs in the middle of a tantrum spiral and my fort will surely die unless I make them magically explode.

But no matter how I edit the raw files, they are completely unaffected.

Help?

Edit:

I am saving, editing the raws, then reloading the fortress. The game is not reading the raw files.

[NecroRebel]

When I want to magic an entire species dead mapwide, I give them [IGNITE_POINT:1] or [HEATDAM_POINT:1]. The former hurts them and usually kills about 9 in 10 of them in short order, while the latter is instant death for all of them.

For single-target killspells, Companion is really the only thing that works.

[o_O[WTFace]]

Clear out your data/objects folder (make a backup...) then reload.  Some things won't take effect until those are regenerated from the newly edited raws.  Try editing the cat body plan and just remove their lungs and/or throat.

If you are waiting for a kitten, set the littersize to 1000 so that first pregnancy really finishes big.
