Just make a SKELETAL bodypart and attach it to the limb. You might even be able to give the protected parts INTERNAL - I never really got round to testing whether or not internal limbs worked, but I assume they do.

Obviously this'll all be broken by the next version, but still.

[Ramirez]

Natural armour cannot actually add extra durability directly, although increasing the damblock of the creature can be used to simulate an armoured creature (it makes the creature harder to damage overall though, rather than just armouring a single location). Adding the extra parts means that any time the creature is hit there is a chance that an unimportant location it actually damaged rather than losing important internal organs.

An example of some natural armour you could add to a creature is as follows:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:ARMOURED_SHOULDER_LEFT]
[BP:LSS:left shoulder spikes][CON:LUA_J][SKELETON][EMBEDDED]
[BP:LSP:left shoulder plate][CON:LUA_J][SKELETON][EMBEDDED]Which would add a pair of extra body parts to the left shoulder, reducing the odds that something important gets stabbed/broken/cut off in combat. Similar parts can be added all over the body as desired.

[3]

The issue with making body parts embedded is that embedded parts should be possible to gouge, presuming the wiki is still correct, which is a slightly unusual idea to say the least.

Ignore me, I'm not sure why the wiki says that when I've made many embedded bodyparts myself that work fine

[GD]

To create immortal thing remove all [BREATHE][GUTS][CIRCULATION][UPPERBODY][LOWERBODY][STANCE][NERVOUS][THOUGHT] from bodyparts, check all connections and replace such tokens [CONTYPE:LOWERBODY] with something like this[CON:LB]

Then add to creature file some intersting tokens:
[NOBREATHE][NOTHOUGHT][NONAUSEA][NOPAIN][NOBLEED][NOEXERT][NOSTUN]
and maybe this:[NO_SLEEP][NO_DRINK][NOFEAR]
and some immunities:[FIREIMMUNE][FIREIMMUNE_SUPER][PARALYZEIMMUNE]
and make sure it heatproof: [HEATDAM_POINT:40000][IGNITE_POINT:40000][COLDDAM_POINT:0][HOMEOTHERM:10067][FIXED_TEMP:10067](add after [STANDARD_FLESH])

if i remember right, adding megabeast and power tags prevents atom-smashing

It also can be upgraded by [MAXAGE:20000:40000]
and this thing should know how to swim [SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:500][AMPHIBIOUS](and maybe fly)

High size, damblock, and natural armor also help to prevent destruction of hands
Edit:[trAPAVOID][BUILDINGDESTROYER:2][WEBIMMUNE] to protect from traps
and [POPULATION_NUMBER:50:300]   [CLUSTER_NUMBER:10:15][FEATURE_ATTACK_GROUP] for more fun(not sure if any civilization can survive worldgen if there 300 megabeasts)

here example of such thing(it not so powerfull but hard to kill)

Wait, if a creature has no upperbody/lowerbody, will it be ok? How will it know which parts are vital and which are not if it's cut in half for example?

[Niveras]

Ignore this, posted to the incorrect thread.

[GD]

The first part listed in body is vital. And even if this part badly damaged then creature still lives. My liquid horror survives fight with town of ogres including legendary Hammerogre (yes i have towns of ogres and amphibious carnivore whales)
To test immortality set damblock to -20 and fight with something(use stand/lie tech to get more damage)

this in entity file will help to test

As long as we're on the subject, how do I control/ is it possible to force a Megabeast to attack a player's city after a certain time?

to Wiseacre: if you want to play this thing in adventure mode then add to entity_default
[ENTITY:LH]
[CREATURE:LIQUIDHORROR]
   [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [ADVENTURE_TIER:4]



If you want a lot of this things then [POPULATION_NUMBER:50:300] (really big number for megabeasts) [CLUSTER_NUMBER:10:15][FEATURE_ATTACK_GROUP] - they will attack in groups. I never seen it in fortress mode but in adventurer or legends mode you can see it.
oh yes and liquidhorrors from my example live in [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_WATER][BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM] replace it with something like
[BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM][BIOME:ANY_LAND] (to creature file)

to find them you can go to legends mode press p to export map and gen info, then in your df folder open region*-world_sites_and_pops and use search for "liquid horror" or other megabest, you want to find then yo can see cave-home of this megabest. Then again to legends mode and find it on map. Or you can findcave on map and then search for its name in region*-world_sites_and_pops.

After that you can visit this cave by you brave adventurer or start fortress on top of it - this leads to Fun times.



to Hugo_The_Dwarf:
If creature have [UPPERBODY][HEAD][LOWERBODY] then this creature mortal because destruction of this bodyparts lead to death and enemy archers will surely use this opportunity. Also if you have [stance] part then damaging leads to falling.  And you creature will try to dress helms and armor on heart - thats pretty dwarven. But this creature have better chances to survive than normal creature.

As i know some internal parts can be "more internal" then others.

Thats not from immortal creature, just one megabeast.

[Wiseacre]

Could slapping the [SMALL] tag on stuff make it more immune to destruction? Like making the actual arm/shoulder/head [Small] and making the extra damage sink body parts not small. Wouldn't then the aggressors have to hack away at the extra parts first?

[Cheddarius]

Perhaps! Shall we now be attacked by the ultimate monster: A miniscule disembodied head with a gigantic burgeoning mass of foot-long, ropelike hair?

[Wiseacre]

Perhaps! Shall we now be attacked by the ultimate monster: A miniscule disembodied head with a gigantic burgeoning mass of foot-long, ropelike hair?

It could be considered relatively small.

[GD]

[BODY:FRICKIN_HUGE_ARMOURED_SHOULDER_LEFT] This will be available in next version of DF. I think any creature should have that and of course

gigantic burgeoning mass of foot-long, ropelike hair

and firebreath for more fun.

[Wiseacre]
