Better yet, let's make that creature made of magma a steed, although that might result in enemy civs flooding hamlets and hives with lava upon arrival. Does DFhack allow you to ride things without the normal steed tags?

Incidentally, I've come up with some nice syndrome- and reaction-based systems, plus some weirder creatures. Does giving a creature both the [FEMALE] and [MALE] tags allow it to spawn units on it's own?

Does that mean male hydras... oh god dammit.

With the people who created DFFS, I'd like to use and edit it for my own project.

I can't exactly speak for everyone, but I don't believe that would be a problem. Just don't pass other people's work off as your own.

Just give credit to everyone who contributed to the turn you use.

Gah. I'm really, really tempted to sign up for this now. And yet I have one metric ton of assignments. Curse you, academia!

If nobody minds, I have a few ideas you could incorporate into the mod:

-Peat as a soil type.
-Bog Iron as a cluster stone found in peat.
-The ability to make anvils out of stone (done historically)
-Cooking blood into sausages/blood pudding (also done worldwide)
-Cremating bodies
-Grinding bones into bonemeal (for consumption or to be mixed with ash to make fertilizer?)
-Scale Mail (similar in function to chain mail shirts, but only covers the area of a breastplate)
-Trilobites (aquatic bug-vermin)

Maybe I'll sign up later when I've got less on my plate.

Peat's already in, and is a very slow source of coke.

The rest of it sounds good, though.

We've already got trilobites, and amonites, I think.
I like the other ideas a lot. This game badly needs iron and steel.

Glad to be of service  :D although you'll probably want to add some sort of metal veins for balance purposes, peat isn't found everywhere.

We could use more types of iron, yes. But perhaps as different ores that all make iron. Could add some more "back story" if you did the same with other metals as well.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a workshop reaction that changes the creature performing it into a different creature? Like some sort of shape shifting chamber. :)

Just create a material that boils at low temperatures but has a fixed temperature that is higher than the boiling point, then have it carry a syndrome that turns anything caught in the gas into a different creature. The reaction should create a boulder of the syndrome material, and it should immediately boil into a cloud that will affect everything that touches/inhales it, depending on how the syndrome is set to transfer.

In case you need it, here's a link to syndrome tokens.

What types of transformations were you thinking of doing, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for your help! I wanted to have an advanced race that has a workshop to turn themselves into cyborg soldiers, and I might have more ideas in the future.

Also, would this syndrome material be stuck to the new creature and anything that it touches becomes the desired creature?

I don't believe smoke created by boiling materials will leave residue. Though melting materials will leave puddles. Also, creatures who are currently transformed will be immune to other transformation syndromes until the first transformation wears off, since syndrome effects don't stack.

Thanks!

Do you know if it is possible to have a c_variation that throws a boiling material, like a gas bomb?
