Introduction

Hey!

First of all, yes, these generators are as simple to use as you can possibly imagine. You run the .exe, you hit the "generate" button. Done.

So, I actually made these generators for my own game, MyWorld. But, since I had to abandon said project, I thought that I may aswell release the generators, seeing as I'm not using them anymore and I've seen some people having problems with some of the subjects of modding, that these generators may help with.
Now, these weren't designed for Dwarf Fortress modding, so they give a little bit of useless information, such as what happens when you eat a plant raw/cooked/bottled, and root colour.
Nethertheless, it may be of use. I have two conditions.

Conditions

1. You absolutely must, MUST, post your first generation of whatever you make! Heh, just for kicks.
2. Just give me a thumbs up / thanks if you do find it useful, in this thread.

Fauna Generator

There are three generators; Land, Aerial and Aquatic. Aquatic generates water-biome creatures, Aerial generates air-based creatures and Land generates land-based creatures.

Land Fauna Generator



As the title suggests, this generator holds fields for land-based creatures, such as # of legs and land-related adjectives.

Fields:
- 3 Adjectives (Notable features) of the creature.
- Colour of the creature.
- # of Legs.
- # of Arms OR tentacles.
- Size.
- Intelligence.

Aerial Fauna Generator

As the title suggests, this generator holds fields for aerial-based creatures.



Fields:
- 3 Adjectives (Notable features) of the creature.
- Colour of the creature.
- # of Legs.
- # of Arms OR tentacles.
- Size.
- Intelligence.


Aquatic Fauna Generator

As the title suggests, this generator holds fields for water-based creatures.



Fields:
- 3 Adjectives (Notable features) of the creature.
- Colour of the creature.
- Size.


Flora Generator

The Flora generator generates... flora. Plants, trees, and so forth. The "Class" of the plant is down to you - I personally go by how long it takes to grow. If it takes <9 months, it's a plant. If >9 months, it's a tree. That's just me, though.



Fields:
- 3 Affects (Eaten: Raw/Cooked/Bottled)
- Taste (Adjective:Taste)
- Smell (Adjective:Smell)
- Colour (Bulb:Stem:Flower)
- Size
- "Time Till Maturely Grown" (Days/Weeks/Months/Years/Decades/Centuries)
- Lifespan; Seed till Death (A number)
^{Note: Use the above two like "Ten. Days." "Hundred. Centuries." etc.}
- Offspring Per Year

Language Generator

This one I've seen people asking for, whilst searching, myself, for a shortcut to making new languages. This generator will generate words four letters long, using Vowel-Consonant patterns.
Read the fields before you hit Generate to see what their rule is - C is "Consonant" and V is "Vowel".
^{(FYI: Vowels are a-e-i-o-u, whilst Consonants are b-c-d-f-g-etc)}
Four boxes generate parts of the word, in two-letter fashions. The outer "result" boxes then take these and put them together.




Fields:
- VC
- CV
- VC2
- CV2
- VCVC
- CVCV
- CVVC

Disease Generator

Last, but by no means the least, the Disease Generator. I have had many, many good times with this.

I highly suggest you try the generator BEFORE reading the spoiler below, otherwise, it WILL spoil any good times you may be astonished with, by it.




Fields:
- 6 Symtoms
- 6 Symptom Strengths
- Length of Contagion (Number:Day/Month/Year) (ie, 45 days, 43 months, 1 year, 1 day, etc)
- Contagiousness
- 3 Spread Patterns
