Suggestion: Make the rocketphants shoot indirected dust (called pressurised air or something) that flings them into air and adds them some tags so they survive the impact. They should have no cooldown so the rocketphants would fly insanely around when threatened :P

...I have the vague feeling I may have missed something.

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

There aren't any tags you could add to have them survive

Also this would make them ridiculously deadly and destructive. If you made them survive, they would end a fort. And just to be clear, the goal is NOT to make every creature capable of ending the fort.

Just saying, the Dirigible Antelope have a syndrome in their gas which makes them move incredibly fast for a bit once punctured, like a leak in a balloon propelling it. If they are airborne, this often results in them slamming into the ground in a bloody mess when they loose lift. Currently does not work reliably, but it is there.

Coconuts are proving hard/imposible. They crash the game. Here's what I have for the rest of the fruit.

Trees as they are on the over world
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

apple trees (replaces halfling's in the same file)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

reactions

fruit
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

wood
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a few bugs remain such as the game treating raw trees as wood even though they lack wood tags

Edit: there will eventualy be figs, dates, coconuts (if I ever get them working) two kinds of deep tree( one harmles the other deadly, they look exactly the same in game  8)) and maybe deep lemons in the caves that burn forever at body temp

Despite no errorlog being produced, these creatures refuse to be included in the world. I've checked to pops, they just don't exist no matter how many times I generate a world:

You're missing [OBJECT:CREATURE], unless that isn't the whole file.

Okay... then I have no idea what is causing it not to exist.

Well, due to time, it looks like as soon as you help me find the problem, I'll be packing up my files and uploading them.

I can't see any reason they should fail to exist. Only thing I can think of that it could be is a broken biome tag but those seem to be in order. Just this and not any thing else in the same file right?

They work in the arena right? Its just a placement issue?

Yep. They work perfectly in arena, they're just absent from the world. Not even listed on the world animal populations.

i don't particularly want them to survive. they are supposed to be a bit like lemmings.
