Killing pets (cats. I want to get rid of them.)
« on: March 07, 2011, 06:51:52 am »
I've read in the wiki that there's an apparently very easy way to get rid of all pets, or rather a certain kind of animal by removing its vital organs from the game files or something like that. How would I accomplish this? I haven't found an actual guide :o

(I personally would like to get rid of cats)

Go to your save file's raws for cats. Delete some of the tags for organs. Brains, for instance.

Load game back up. Watch cats drop dead with brainmush dribbling out of their mouth.

Where are the "raws for cats"? ^^
How do I identify a tag for organs? Does it just say [brain][/brain] and I delete everything in between?

It's more fun to set their the combustion point of their skin to room temperature.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

look inside you \data\save\region1\raw\objects folder for creature_domestic , then scroll down to cat
edit: Apart from that i'm not sure, i'm digging through the forums to see how to set them on fire...

The line that says "[BODY:QUADRUPED:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5TOES_FQ:4TOES_RQ:MOUTH:GENERIC_TEETH_WITH_LARGE_EYE_TEETH:RIBCAGE]", I presume ?

Hm... I removed "2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:" but the cats don't die. They just walk around with the heavily-wounded-symbol flashing.

i believe [VERMINHUNTER] is broken down into several tags that each defines a specific behaviour of its bearer
among them i suppose, [ADOPTS_OWNER] makes cats adpoting owners on their own will.
taking that tag out probably means cat can only be assigned to be available.

havent tried.

Try adding this and see what happens :
[SPEC_HEAT:10000]
[FIXED_TEMP:40000]
[IGNITE_POINT:15000]
[MELTING_POINT:20005]
[BOILING_POINT:20000]


Don't hold me responsible for the results...
edit: nada, doesn't work :'(

The dwarvenly way to kill off your pets is to build a mini danger room or magma flooding room in a traffic area.  Then lock the doors when only pets that you want dead are in the room.  Activate the room and enjoy.
