Bay 12 Games Forum

For the love of...

WJLIII3 was a jerk with some good points. Avo and the others have good points, but are turning into jerks. You're both kinda right, you're both increasingly wrong, can we please try to keep up Bay12's high standard?

Maybe I just like that this is the first time I've showed up in mode credits.

Alright, this is how you make Jacks-O-Lantern turn into golems:
1. Create a Jack-O-Lantern creature and an iron golem creature. If you need help with that, just ask me (or base it off of bronze colossi).
2. Create a reaction. It should take the reagents (four iton blocks, probably) and turn them into a cloud of a newly-defined inorganic, which I'll get to. Call it something like GOLEMGAS_IRON for iron golems.
3. Make sure the entities have both the reaction and the building it takes place in permitted.
4. In one inorganic file or another, create a new inorganic, called whatever the reaction makes. Give it a syndrome, only affecting jacks-o-lantern, that is inhaled, by-contact, and everything else if you want to make sure it gets results; check the wiki for help.
5. Make that syndrome turn the affected creature into an iron golem.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for snowlems, if you want.
7. Make sure people know to pasture the jacks-o-lantern in the workshop if they want a golem to be made!

Ah. About all I'm familiar with adzes being is "A tool used by Polynesians, which was important because it...uh...what did it do?"

Rain killing Endermen: Nope. Sorry, maybe if a few dozen versions.

Pigmen: If you want them to form cavern bands, I don't think there's any way to control layer. If you want the to form cavern bands, they need to be an entity. If you want them to have gold swords and/or helmets, they need to be in entities.

To "spawn" the friendly creature, you need to transform another friendly creature into a creature without CRAZED or OPPOSED_TO_LIFE. That's why I suggested what I did.

Suggestions? Zombie pigman tribes underground, probably replacing current subterranean animalfolk; make sure they have access to gold. You will probably need to make gold into an armor/weapon-smithable material to do this.
Jack-O-Lanterns (immobile, common-domestic creatures). Also the ability to turn 4 iron blocks into a cloud of gas with a syndrome that turns jacks-o-lantern into iron golems (I can try to help with this). Since you can't make snow blocks, it might be tough to make a good snowlem reaction.
Turning diamonds into stuff.
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm imagining a player trying to injure his dwarves on purpose, so he can justify medical operations to give them stupid stuff like forearm-mounted flasks and two axe hands and stuff.

And what does purple colored name indicate?

A purple name means it's a vampire. Kill it now.

No, that's red you're thinking of. Granted, 90% of the time purple indicates a good target for elimination...

Just thinking about it.... Those Twilight vampires (if you can call them that) would be hidden really good in a normal Fortress. I mean, how much sunlight comes into the ordinary Dwarfhole?

There's the part where the migrant party meanders to the fortress, for starters. And the part where they abandon the fortress due to flooding.

Allegedly, if you keep your fort going for a few dozen years, moss can grow, but who here has had that old of a fort?
