I want to drop a 10x10 cube of kittens 100 z-levels.
« on: October 02, 2010, 05:53:14 pm »

For reasons completely unrelated to my being a sick bastard it has become necessary to drop a lot of kittens from very high up indeed.  Unfortunately the arena only supports drops of 8 z-levels.  So is there any way to give the arena an insanely tall sky?

The arena's dimensions are hardcoded, I believe.  So you'll have to do it in dwarf mode.

Not quite sure how you'd get a hundred kittens, though; they'll probably grow up to be cats too fast.

You could do it by getting a sufficiently large population of cats, such that at any given time you had 100 or more kittens. It would take a lot of cats.

This is going to be harder than I thought.  At least I can continue pitting single bronze colossi against groups of 300 cats at a time to take my mind off my frustration while I work on my plan.

Just change the raws to extend kittenhood by a few millenia. If you have room for cat breeding, you should produce only kittens.

How are you going to get around the 50 of each animal cap?

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.

That's a gimme, just add different breeds (Burmese, Manx, Savannah, etcetera) to Raws, but leave the childhood castes all called "Kitten".

Just make cats only cost 1 dwarf buck, and embark with plenty of kittens. Some bridges, some digging, et voilą, splat.

And of course, post screenshots!

Can you not just give cats [LITTERSIZE:100:100] and be done with it?

Well, nobody said every square had to be filled with kitten. Also you can just increase ceiling height with worldgen params, saves some digging. Bones points for dropping it all on some elf merchants.

Forget to turn it off and start a new fort.

Make your cpu hate you.

It would be fun if you could set it so only kittens explode.  It would mean that once a year, all of your female cats suddenly explode if there are any male cats around.

And the funny part is it would still help forts last longer.
