Cross-Egging
« on: March 24, 2011, 09:32:30 am »

So I had an idea.  We can define custom unusual_eggs, right?  We can define an egg as an item, right?  Such as reactions that produce eggs.  Has anyone tried combining these to make an unusual egg that is an actual egg?  Such as, take the chicken, and add lays_unusual_egg:dragon and have a chicken that will hatch dragons?

No, because there's no way of making the eggs fertilised.

Ah-ha, right...  I suppose unusual eggs don't check for spores.

Yes, it can, you just need the right tag.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

Lol, I've read it "Mr. Masterr: [upset cant attack or beat dragon daddy], kicks out Ms Amazing of the hen house Rynait."

"Hen house Rynait" sounds almost like a drow house.

You could just make dragons a very rare caste of chickens. You won't be able to make them megabeasts, though. Also, I don't think it's possible to make it so dragons are more likely to lay dragon eggs and chickens are more likely to make chicken eggs.
