Title: Axolotl creatures regenerate limbs
Post by: Pillbo on January 23, 2024, 11:57:04 pm

Axolotl's are known to be able to regrow portions of their body, so a tag to regrow limbs would be a cool addition to giant axolotls and axolotl people (and for modding).

I agree this could be useful to have as a non-syndrome thing, or syndromes automatically applied in certain cases as I've suggested in the past. Currently we can do this with a syndrome applied by an interaction that can only target the self, and delayed onset of the healing so time has to pass. But the creature has to actually use the interaction, it can't be auto-applied on spawning in, and sometimes they'll wait a few weeks before using it.

There's no simulation of the limb slowly regenerating though, and I don't even know what that would look like.
