> plants like synth-reed, corn and cotton cannot be found anymore in the wild.The thing about this is that edible plants are going to be too common, unless and add a "weed" plant to crowd them out.
I missed this one. Don't make them not grow in the wild at all, just lower their frequency a lot. Mass designating outdoor areas for plant gathering should yield a few seeds eventually.
> I could make Everfree radscorpions tameable and handwave it off as them being more docile due to less radiation magic things.Some suggestions would be helpful. I've already added in a weaker version of radscorpions since I like the idea of a pet mutated giant scorpion. Personally, I think things like rabbits/cavies would be out of place, yet the next tier is cats/dogs, which we already have. So, this is quite a conundrum.
Well, maybe. Things like Bears and GCS should be the general upper limit for what's tameable. The truly powerful creatures shouldn't be.
> Size incrementHow about removing that scaling law? So you are let's say 4 times larger but 4 times weaker?
That sounds actually beneficial. But OK.
> Making a pony [CRAZED] but reducing their strength/combat stats to 1%Or how about giving them harder skin to boot to make sure your militia is pounding uselessly rather than concentrate on the problem at hand? Alternatively, killing joke kills.
That pony will still be killed by the militia long before the syndrome runs out. But then killing joke sometimes does that.
> Switch genders (This is very tedious)Yep, way less. But switching castes directly is more realistic and I literally have the whole day to do it (holidays).
Would it be less tedious to switch to "generic blank-flank female unicorn or earth" or "generic blank-flank make unicorn or earth"? If yes, then maybe also switch races on ponies. But then both of these sound not-deadly.
Killing joke should have some more deadly or at least painful stuff, like bleeding and blisters.But I have trouble translating that into, you know, joke form. Why would spontaneous bleeding and such be (depending on perspective) funny?
I strongly dislike the idea. I'd rather we got some hard wood or chitin plates to make weapons and armour, similar to how rock swords and bone armour are made in vanilla. That said, steel is a necessity in this mod, so I understand the compromise.If I did that, it would probably mean a new workshop or a ton of new reactions lumped at the back of the Craftspony's Workshop. A steel equivalent wood that is rare/resource intensive is possible.
The smaller and more docile ones, probably.The problem is that all the animals so far are the ohnoweareprobablyscrewed type of creature. I could make Everfree radscorpions tameable and handwave it off as them being more docile due to less radiation magic things.
Sure, but those were meant for Stonesense, so you'll need to resize and basically redo them in whatever resolution Phobeus is using. Don't forget to select all the "magical pink" colour areas and make them transparent before resizing.Thanks, I don't mind doing that and will make sure to credit you.
Is this new orewood tree something that only grows in good biomes such as the Everfree forest? I hope so as otherwise we will get too many types of building materials in normal salvage rich biomes.Yep, it is meant to balance out the lack of scrap metal from salvage.
I wonder if it would be possible to make a genetically modified apple tree that the ponies can plant underground? I was thinking of a tree that grows about 3-4 z-levels high and have a radius of about 2-3 squares. The tree would grow apples that would drop to the ground or be harvested with the new stepladder. Naturally for this to work you would need to mine out a dome that leave at least 4 z-levels to the ceiling. It would be a bit more work than a normal farm plot initially, but having a tree that you didn't need to replant every year and would keep dropping new apples would be a new way of getting food. If nothing else it would make for an interesting challenge when making the stable and would give an unique look to the stable.Making an underground apple tree is plausible, but I don't think making ponies be able to plant it is possible short of breaching the caverns and hoping for one to sprout up.
What creatures where you thinking of? Rabbits and other small animals should be tamable.I have no idea as pointed out above. Suggestions for small hopefully-not-so-harmful creatures are welcome.
Lets see: Size reduction from 25-75%(think tiny Applejack), Size increase from 25-50%, Disability of magic for unicorns. Disability of flight for flying creatures. inability to hold items. I take it that the effect will be random and last for a short while?Yep, thanks for the ideas, though I'm afraid that the disabling of flight and/or grasping is impossible. Due to gameplay stuff, I cannot be evil and make the effects last forever, so they will last for 1 month, or maybe a season?
When I try to use the Embark comand it just says;Try typing embark-tools enable.
Offset for embark patch not found!
I haven't changed any of the settings, its all default. Should I have? Do I need to redownload?
even though six and a half heads are much better than oneCome on, don't be so mean. Sixth head is no less than anyone, even if it has brain damage.
What gave cats their incredible ability to multiply out of control?It's natural. By nature, cats multiply by binary fission which is triggered by the presence of another cat.
