Say I want to mod in pikmin as a playable fortress creature. I want to retain the aspect of creating pikmin, but I'm not sure how exactly to do this as non-verminous creatures cannot be created. However, I'm not sure how playing as a vermin would work. Anyone know?

[Ieb]

I'm pretty sure vermin's aren't exactly playable. What with their lack of limbs, and any body part for that matter. The best you could really do is make each of the different Pikmin subrace a race of their own, and mess around with 'em.

Although I'm pretty sure white one's wouldn't work at the moment, since "eat-me-and-you're-DEAD" isn't in the game's effects until next version.

You know, I've never actually tried to make a civ of vermin. I should try that.

[wagawaga]

If you do that (if it is even possible), you better be afraid of cats. Even more than now.

[Sir Reginald Bathwater]

You could make them one size above vermin and make everything else relatively bigger if vermin doesn't work.

To actually get the feel of creating pikmin, you will have to wait 'till the next release, when (as I understood it) you will be able to add serious phyiscal differences between castes (and thus, between adult/child). this could help with making the different "colours" of pikmin, as well.  have immobile, noneating/drinking children, and then have them grow legs!

as for currently? I know someone modded tiiiny gnomes into a playable race. FUN ensued.

Vermin won't work though.  I've tried.  I originally tried to make minifigures in my LEGO mod into vermin, but the game changed them to size-2 creatures by itself (according to the errorlog)

Better yet, the females all turn into immobile onions at adulthood, so that the males and children bring food to them and protect them.. Not like other Eusocial species, but it does.

[LegoLord]

I wonder, are there plans to be able to alter the male/female ratio in the creature entry?

[Skid]

Yes. Caste ratios will be determined by the raws. You just have to make the genders different castes.

[100killer9]

Can you alter gender ratios of the children? I don't want 50 onions in a fort of 100.
EDIT: Next version, I mean.

just answered above:

that is next release, far as I've heard.

[RedWarrior0]

This is best in the next version, though Onions will have difficulties in how they are made. Onions from Onions could be a problem.

[LegoLord]

Onions can fly.  They aren't completely immobile.

[RedWarrior0]

I know. Imagine watching an onion give birth to am onion.
