Giant Cave Spider problem
« on: January 24, 2010, 08:26:11 pm »

is there some way to edit the raw file for a creature such as the giant cave spider so that dwarves around it won't get that creature interruption job cancellation message? This would help me out so much with my Spider silk farm. Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but I kinda doubt it. I've seen dwarves will get scared and cancel jobs even from relatively unaggressive creatures.

Remove the eyes in the dwarf coding... You'll lose sight of items though. I'm not sure what else you would lose.

Looking into modding DF? This forum guide & wiki guide may still be a good start!

removing eyes just makes them not see, they still do their jobs and everything but using ranged weapons is useless because they don't know that a goblin is two steps away, and the only way a warrior will attack something is if hes standing on it or it bumps into him

Block their vision of the GCS. I pull a drawbridge up against the GCS when silk harvesting.

Quality levels for items produced by blind dwarves will also dramatically decrease. This may also have an effect on combat.
