Oh, that's rather odd. Thanks for that info, though, I had never gotten around to testing it and it was the main thing keeping me from making hostile entities that have very different castes.
I have to wonder if they get some kind of attack penalty under-the-hood, but still, good to know.

Is there a way to make a creature drop a certain weapon, not just any random wep, upon death? I need to know for some creatures for a mod I'm working on. And those creatures need to drop swords.

[ITEMCORPSE:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT:INORGANIC:STEEL] will make them drop a steel short sword on death. I think this might get rid of their actual corpse, too.
Oh, and add [ITEMCORPSE_QUALITY:5] for them to be masterwork, etc.

[i2amroy]

Yes it does stop the normal corpse from dropping. If you want to have a normal corpse and the weapon the best way might be to make them have a "item" body part that could be harvested during butchery and then a reaction to change that body part into the desired item. It would have the drawback of not being able to give quality levels though.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Hehe...time for free candy swords. If you can kill any of my megas.

[Gizogin]

Can you make them drop multiple items this way?

[i2amroy]

No you can't. IIRC whichever the last [ITEMCORPSE:X] token is will overwrite the previous ones. You could potentially get them to give you multiple items through the butchery method however.

[Nil Athelion]

I duplicated the human civilization, and made a federation civilization that included all races.  Mostly for the sake of stores selling everything, all types of companions, etc.

However, after world-gen, the federation civilization was composed of a single species.  How do I get multiple species to coexist in an entity.


Also:  Some races consistently die out, and others prosper.  Even in vanilla, the only way I can play with Kobolds is to end history before they all die.

Similarly, one of my races generally never made it past year 100.

What modifies how well a civilization will survive?

[i2amroy]

If multiple entries of the [CREATURE:X] token are given in a entity then the game will pick a random creature for each civ of that entity. If you actually want multiple "creatures" living together you need to set them up as multiple castes in a single creature, which can lead to fun things like an elf marrying a goblin and then giving birth to a dwarf and a human twins.

If I wanted to make new ammo types e.g. a bullet, but also with bolts and arrows still in the game, how would I make them appear in quivers? When I played as an adventurer as a crossbowman no bullets were in my quiver when I had one of the new weapons that needed the new ammo.
Also: Any chance of flamethrowers?

[i2amroy]

Did you remember to add the ammo to the civilization as well as the gun weapon?

As for flamethrowers, the closest you can get is to make ammo out of a material that bursts into flames just under body temperature. And then make a custom reaction that creates that ammo only out of that material. The result is an ammo that is safe to handle (almost always, you might run into some problems in hot deserts) but will burst into flames if it gets stuck in a targeted creature, igniting them as well.

[assimilateur]

Did you remember to add the ammo to the civilization as well as the gun weapon?

I believe the problem is with ammo not being placed in quivers and not failing to be there at all.

I think even blowgun darts are screwy like that. I even vaguely recall making a thread about it but not getting any help. Blowguns and darts worked in that dwarven bandits spawned with them, but the darts ended up being held in their hands as opposed to in their quivers. This however seems not to be a problem in dwarf mode.

[Dalkar]

How would you make a material that ignites on body temp? All I can manage is making it boil/melt :?

Sorry for my newbiness

[i2amroy]

[IGNITE_POINT:XX]. The average creature body temperature is 10067, so [INGNITE_POINT:10065] should work well. Simply add that tag to the material you want an viola! it works!

[Dalkar]

Nevermind, typo'd ignite
