welcome to dwarf fortress, nothing is quick here, except for the raising water while your miner takes a nap.

You probably just have a duplicate creature. Check all of the new creatures to make sure none of them overlap with anything you've created.

Overlap / duplicate creatures is my guess.

Deon was a little tricky when it came to modding, so it's possible there COULD be other problems.

I mod games and educate others how to do so as well, if you'd like to learn join my Discord and you can join a bunch of like minded individuals. (Presently modding Space Engineers and No Man's Sky.)

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

If you check the error log, it might tell you which creature has a duplicate.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

or while you take a nap :P


Name your fort Apocalypse Ponies! :P



But like they said, probably a duplication problem, odd, I've heard this specifically Unicorns before.

(Either a duplicate in the file you edited, or perhaps a duplicate file.  If your text editor saved a backup copy in the game directory, no matter what file extension it used, the game will read it, and get royally screwed up on that stuff.  If there is one, try deleting it or moving it somewhere else.)

Do not meddle in the affairs of chickens, for you are crunchy and taste like a good seedgrain.

(You are not a seedgrain?  Of course, you and I know that very well.  But does the chicken know it?)

Oh, I love this glitch, it makes things SO trippy.  The Legends are always a good read when you do this kinda glitch.

The problem is, somewhere, there is one or more duplicate entries in the raws.  Look for the second one; it could be anything.  Check any file you've edited.

Any other game would have crashed when you make a mistake like this. Only in Dwarf Fortress would your dorfs turn into unicorns.

I love this game.
