Yeah I know, it's cheating. But I want to try it.
Firstly, I have the text written correctly, I know it's "PET_EXOCTIC) but I typed it in lower caps here.
Secondaly, I generate a new world after every modification I made so I know I'm doing everything right on that end.
Basically, I have the Lazy Newb Pack (latest edition). Firstly, I tried to disable the exotic creatures so I can tame them all easily through the LNP menu. That worked, sort of. I got some new creatures to embark with: bats, crocodiles and so on. I then went to the file the dragons info is stored, disabled the ability to tame them (so exotic creatures were still labled as such), I edited it so they were non-exotic in the file. Didn't work.
So then I tried to add them to "domestic" (I removed them from their normal file, copied it and pasted the text in domestic), changed the tag to pet instead of "pet_exotic"), still no luck. Finally, I left it like that and used the LNP menu to disable exotic animals and still, no luck.
Now for the worst part: I think I really effed it up. I just delete and replace the entire LNP folder (I don't really plan on saving wthe worlds, I'm still learning to play). But... even though there is no error file, I still get some weird reactions with being able to embark with bears or giant bats. Which is not normal, as far as I know. Doesn anyone have advice?
I guess it's to do with the fact they're megabeats or else I need a dungeon master. But... is it possible to start a game with both a male and female dragon, that are tamed?
