wandering spirits are gases at room temperature, so they melt instantly.

Considering all the things I'm currently cooking up, I hope so.


Would anyone be willing to look at my creature and tell me why exactly it may not be spawning in game? I feel like the reason is obvious and I just missed it.

Did you add a biome tag? [ALL_LAND] is one, I believe.

[BIOME:ANY_OCEAN][BIOME:ANY_LAKE][BIOME:ANY_RIVER]

Still doesnt seem to pop up...
They can live just fine... They work great in the arena... They just arent spawning.

Did you export the world sites and populations to make sure? Most creatures have a relatively high POPULATION_NUMBER relative to vanilla, so yours may just be drowned out amongst the multitudes of other species.

Pretty sure I did.

I'll gen another world and look at it again.
Dwarf Fortress hates me... Even this version.

Edit: I'll try cranking up the population numbers.

I fixed it.
There was an error in part of the file making them spontaneously turn to ice in my chosen locales.

Edit: Now that my colossals are no longer becoming colossalsicles it appears they are as abundant as flies.
Time to fix that too.

Edit2: This may seem like a stupid question but whats the difference between BY_TYPE BY_CATEGORY and BY_TOKEN?

They melt in the arena in adventure-like mode, just not in fortress-like mode.

They're made of ether (material_template_ztg.txt), which has a boiling point of -9966°F.

Maybe that was intentional?

Edit: I think I read somewhere that they fixed that...

Monsters which turn to gas upon entering the map? I doubt that was intentional, although some of this stuff makes me wonder.

Would you mind the arena spawn list being clogged up with another hundred varieties of mecha? Or should I just add the basic types with a few combinations, leaving the rest restricted so as to make navigation easier?

Restricted please...

The 16 versions of each of 14 dragons(16x14 dragons) spamming the list is bad enough.
