Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth cancels update B-tree: interrupted by slime rain.

Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth has entered a fell mood!

Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth has produced IndexSlimes, a masterwork B-tree wood grate! It menaces with spikes of Index Not Found. On it is an engraving of Toady One and Dwarf Fortress in werewolf leather. It menaces with spikes of werewolf bone. Dwarf Fortress is striking a menacing pose. Toady One is making a plaintive gesture. This picture relates to the rain of slime in The Universe of Spanking in the year 135. On it is an engraving of Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth and Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth. Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth is making a plaintive gesture. Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth is striking Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth. This picture relates to the death of the werewolf Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth at the hands of the dwarf Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth of The Spanks Of Trouble in The Universe of Spanking in the year 135.

Urist McOddlyLongCanineTeeth cancels update B-tree: too injured.

Urist McOddlyLongcanineTeeth has been struck down!

I'm sorry. I needed to get that out.

I really want a rain of werewolves, vampires, and FBs.

That would make my day.

I haven't heard of slime rain up till now. And you say there's more? What other types can we get and can we expect to see [WEATHER:YES] get more use?

Is blood currently defined somewhere in the raw files or is the blood of all creatures just currently considered a generic blood?  If blood will soon be defined better in the next update we might be able to mod creatures with all sorts of interesting substances for blood and not just syndrome carrying generic blood.  Magma for blood.  Slime for blood.  Alcohol for blood.  Perhaps even boiling liquids that burst into vapor clouds on landing.

Maybe it was raining liquid silver.

No... that wouldn't be a bug. It would be an AWESOME.

Blood is defined as a material template which most creature raws point to for the material of their blood. You can make booze blood and probably vapor blood already.

Yeah, if you want exploding* blood on death you can make the bloods material template have a boiling point far below the natural temperature of the region, or indoors temp (don't know it off the top of my head), then it will explode* when it comes in contact with the air.

Just make sure the creatures HOMEOTHERM is somewhere below the boiling point, I can only imagine what horror a creature whose blood explodes* while inside it would create.

edit insert: actually, you might not have to change HOMEOTHERM, I'm not sure DF even tracks blood that can't be see with the loo[k] tool or [v]-[ i]nventory. I might have to science this.

non-edit:
*explode referring to liquids boiling rapidly, DF doesn't have any actual explosives that I'm aware of.

We need a rain of flaming dogs, like the Sheogorath quest in TES4: Oblivion.

Raining vampire blood + outside food stockpile = profit.

You wouldn't rush Goya or Faulkner or Tarantino. Think about Toady as equal to those artists. And then deal with it.

It could rain liquid mist and make all your dwarves incredibly happy from the mist, provided you're in a serene-mirthful-joyous wilds area.

Also, vomit rain, yo dawg.
