That... That is awesome!

[4maskwolf]

Thank you Meph.

That is amazing.

[Meph]

I found the source of the "monolith doesnt use interactions"-problem: Creatures created with spawnunit do not use interactions.

On the one hand I am glad that I figured that out, and that I didnt make a mistake in the Monolith creature. On the other hand... this is really bad news.

[Grim Portent]

Would monoliths work as a pet?

[Meph]

They would, if you buy them at embark, if they are born, or if you buy them from caravans. None of which is possible. I designed them to be build in a workshop.

I am currently looking into spawning a creature, and then adding the interaction. Maybe they can use them if its done that way.

[Meph]

Fixed it.

Two solutions: Teach the creature the interaction, or transform the creature once.

First inorganic spawns a Monolith. It doesnt use any of its own interactions. Second inorganic teaches a monolith on the workshop the very same interactions again. A wonder happens. They use them. Third inorganic transforms the monolith generic into monolith generic2, literally the same creature, just a different caste. No difference between castes either. Still, it fixes it. The spawned monolith caste does not do interactions, but the transformed caste does use them.

I was thinking, could an object be made that moves along minecart rails and resurrects everything along its path?

[Meph]

No object, but a creature. Put the creature I posted above into a minecart and it should work.
