I think i might have figured out how to have a race be mono-gender and still be able to have children. i'll be checking this extensively for the next couple of hours. and ill have a verdict out after my tests

EDIT: After much testing, I have given up. I just can't figure out how to make it work -sigh- I shall now use my resources on making things explode...

Going on old knowledge here, but can't you make the male caste really rare (via POP_RATIO)?

Tried with POP_RATIO but it ended up with males still being prevalent in the towns and such when I visited them in adv mode, so I quickly gave up on making the mono-gender race. The race does tend to last a thousand years before being wiped out when I set their natural life spans to up to one thousand years... but it still doesn't have the effects I want sadly.

Really? My custom species has mostly drones, healers and hunters in towns, and I've only ever seen one warrior and no queens (rarest caste). Give us the raws.

as soon as i search through my raw dump, ill have the raws up. but yeah had the males set to 1 and the females set a ton higher and i would always have a mostly male population. ill be back on later tonight

While modding I accidentally over looked what it was I was modifying and made humans a female dominated race... I am now intrigued at what this will do to a new genned world

Congratulations, you just made the Amazons. Do they find slavery acceptable?

Yup. they find slavery acceptable. I have now renamed my humans into amazonians.

Ah, that is unfortunate. I suppose i'll skip making them statue like for now and continue on to making the workshops and creature raws for them for now.

How would I make an item be built like a statue?

Ok, I have 2 questions:

1. How would I go about making a mono-gendered race survive its first couple hundred years of world gen
2. How do i make a race's offspring turn out about 10% as female?

Any help is appreciated.

1. Well, you could make the creature itself live for a few hundred years, but I get the feeling that's not what you're looking for.
2. use [POP_RATIO:9] for the males and [POP_RATIO:1] for the females (put them where it defines each class, like under the [MALE] or [FEMALE] tags)

Well they will live for about a long, but i want them to be able to produce offspring thats monogendered... maybe i could make it possible for them to use any species as viable genetic material, like the Asari from mass effect(im more or less making the races from it...)
as for the second race they will be egg layers, sorta like the Salarians...

ok, for some more questions i need answers for:

1. how can i make a race that loves to fight among itself?
2. how do i make a race have a military heirachy?

thanks for everyone that answered my previous questions.

So, I have a question. I'm planning on making an immobile creature to act as a turret of sorts. I was wondering how to make it shoot projectiles that carry a syndrome that makes the hit creature turn crazed and bleed from the hit limb. I was also wondering how to make the turret have a stone shell that it will retreat into when an enemy gets to close.
Any help will be appreciated.
