Just out of curious, why are you using a plant for this? You could simply make the rock edible and make the reaction turn boulders into meat.

Then I would have to make a creature that is called Rotten Meat. Plants are easier to create in my opinion.

There are no ingested syndromes, and contact poisons only work for liquids and gases, not solids like food.

Brandstone's worked, thanks.

By the way, small question for obvious reasons is it possible to link a syndrome to a food?

Im not certain, but I don't think ingested syndromes are possible. You can probably make a contact syndrome, but I wouldn't know how to get it working or if it would work for for a plant product.

Oh well, I guess there will have to be an unfortunate side effect that is produced alongside the reaction causing some nausea.

Okay so I've sprinkled garbage dumps throughout the world, they're just large clusters in soil. Inside the garbage dumps will be rotten meat that can be mined out and cleaned at a cleaning shop into edible 'plants' called rotten meat.

However converting the boulder into a plant is becoming difficult. Whenever it goes through the reaction it turns into a stack of 5 plants. Just 'plants' and not the 'rotten meat' I expected. Here's the product.

[PRODUCT:100:5:PLANT:ROTTEN_MEAT_PLANT:NONE:NONE]
The plant itself is called ROTTEN_MEAT_PLANT to keep duplication errors away. And nothing is showing up in the errorlog. The plants shows up in the stockpile options to so I don't believe it has to do with the plant. Anybody know what's wrong?

Fascinating endeavor.

There is no way to lay eggs or have babies in adventurer mode. However, you could create a custom reaction that makes a kobold egg.

Well you know how I feel on the situation if you've read the link he posted.

And for the record you've skewed the poll, three options support your opinion, one option is neutral. And only one option against the opinion. Doesn't seem fair to begin with. I don't see how it will prove anything other then you distorted the poll to support yourself.

Quick recap, how he portrayed it in the original post, the ability to mod water levels and spawn/remove NPC's is cheating, but I would support this if it was implemented into the arena mode. Would Syrupleaf be an epic tale if they just removed the Spawns by hitting tilde? No, it wouldn't be. Fortresses need to end eventually.

Good news though The-Moon, dfhack has come out with a new feature that allows you to spawn NPC's in DF (dfmode). I've played around with it a little, and I like it because it's a third party tool and not in the vanilla. I recommend you check it out to attain these features because dfhack can already supply you with all the features you suggested, and Magma.

Well, it does work. I did not know that.

Most animals don't care what grasses they eat. The only reason why panda's eat bamboo 'grass' is because bamboo is different then grass. Even if you were to restrict domestic animals to certain types of grass, it would mean they couldn't eat four grasses. All of which are found in [GOOD] and [EVIL] biomes and wouldn't impact gameplay as much as you think because normal edible grass still grows around them and the inedible grass will get trampled away by pastures.

Does it fix the issue where invading goblins pick fights with their mounts/leaders?

Nope.

Weeeeell... technically it was fixed.

As a fortunate side effect of starvation during world gen, the kidnapees are dying off of starvation because Goblins are not gathering food. So when the ambushes show up they have no humans/elves/dwarves with them. So no loyalty clash. I had a 12 year fortress that was still getting stealth ambushes because of this.
