A animal that poops out beds.....
how about an animal that poops out weapons?
Or an animal that poops out hands?
The possibilities.....

or an animal that poops out animals who poop out animals who poop out things!

*Drags twitching self towards a large tank labeled 'Brain Bleach'.*

what about an animal that can poop out Shade colossi?
*burns the brain bleach so folks won't be able to mind wipe with it*
really now go with the stronger stuff like rubbing lye on your foreheads

though this news of Bees makes me wonder are they vermin or could they be
Yeah there vermin so one could just create a jar full of them and toss them at enemies.

Here's something interesting:CRAFTS is apparently an item type now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[REACTION:MAKE_CLAY_CRAFTS]
   [NAME:make clay crafts]
   [BUILDING:KILN:CUSTOM_S]
   [REAGENT:clay:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]
      [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:FIRED_MAT]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:CRAFTS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:clay:FIRED_MAT]
   [FUEL]
   [SKILL:POTTERY]

Also, you can add improvements via reaction!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[REACTION:GLAZE_JUG]
   [NAME:glaze clay/stone jug]
   [BUILDING:KILN:CUSTOM_G]
   [REAGENT:glaze:1:ANY_RAW_MATERIAL:NONE:NONE:NONE] ANY_RAW_MATERIAL means powder/bars/boulders/globs
      [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:GLAZE_MAT]
   [REAGENT:jug:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_JUG:NONE:NONE]
      [REACTION_CLASS:CAN_GLAZE]
      [EMPTY]
      [NOT_IMPROVED]
      [PRESERVE_REAGENT]

   Format for IMPROVEMENT below is <chance>:<reagent target>:<type of improvement>:<mat tokens>
   Supported types are COVERED, GLAZED, RINGS_HANGING and SPIKES.
   GLAZED is a type of item improvement (similar to "covered with <mat>").

   [FUEL]
   [SKILL:GLAZING]

Yeah, this is basically what I've been waiting for forever. ADVENTURE MODE ENGRAVINGS ADVENTURE MODE ENGRAVINGS

[!!crundle!!]

I gots an idea!

First, is it possible to make only certain castes be vermin?

[Untelligent]

Unless it's changed and/or my memory's faulty all the vermin-related tags are creature-level, not caste-level.

[Girlinhat]

The improvements via reaction is very nice.  Is it also possible to get the quality via reaction?  I'd like to have a soldier decked in masterwork adamantine armor and weapon, all menacing with spikes of masterful platinum, without having to exhaust several embark's worth of material to achieve that one master+master combo.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

make an addy dispenser, then

[!!crundle!!]

Unless it's changed and/or my memory's faulty all the vermin-related tags are creature-level, not caste-level.

Hm.

Is it possible to make non-vermin hiveable?

I want my hives with creatures coming out of them!

[D_E]

But the real question about the update is...

...Can we now produce creatures via reactions? Can we make eggs that hatch?

Without a creature to make them? (or a old style vermin reaction to make the egg?)
...

Unless a new token if found or a old one with a new use?

There is now an EGG token. 

!!!!

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_EGG_ROCK]
[NAME:make egg]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EGG:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:BIRD_CHICKEN:EGGSHELL]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EGG:CREATURE:BIRD_CHICKEN:CREATURE_MAT:BIRD_CHICKEN:EGGSHELL]

SECOND PRODUCT MAKES A CHICKEN EGG!!!

EDIT:  First product makes a generic "egg" that does not seem to respect material.

EDITEDIT:    [PRODUCT:100:1:EGG:CREATURE:BIRD_CHICKEN]
Does not make an egg.

Someone should make the fort version of the [PRODUCT:100:1:EGG:CREATURE:BIRD_CHICKEN:CREATURE_MAT:BIRD_CHICKEN:EGGSHELL] reaction and find out if it can be hatched.  I can't right now.

FINAL EDIT:  Toady at one point suggested that eggs wouldn't hatch unless they were in an egg box-thing (it came up when discussing egg laying intelligent creatures), so you may have to figure out the token for these boxes and see if you can create an egg in a box.

[Rumrusher]

made a bee reaction and found out they won't sting you if you hold on to them or dropping them for that matter. still wish to know the production code for Eggs to start testing chances of breeding Companions.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:ADV_BEE_SUMMON]
    [NAME:summon Bees like deh Pain]
    [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
    [PRODUCT:100:100:VERMIN:NO_SUBTYPE:HONEY_BEE:HONEY_BEE]
    [SKILL:MAGIC_NATURE] so far no luck in harmful death from these things.

[Girlinhat]

I've not tested it yet, but isn't an egg-box similar to a cage?  Can you designate an egg box as a reagent, and use product_to_container to place the egg within the box?

[D_E]

I'm betting you can, but I don't know the token for egg box .

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_EGG_ROCK]
[NAME:make egg]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EGG:CREATURE:DWARF:BIRD_CHICKEN:EGGSHELL]


Makes a "dwarf egg" by the way.  Dwarves weren't modded to lay eggs.  Someone please test this one and the chicken egg version, to see if they hatch!  I have to go to work now.

[Rumrusher]

well that depends on if Time still moves in Adventure mode and if so this still means someone has to spend hours of gameplay either mashing the sleep button for 24 hours ingame to reach a full year for this to work or not.

[D_E]

Oh, I know.  Those reactions just show how to make an egg via a reaction.  They're adventure mode reactions because I was testing them in arena mode.

But it's easy to convert them to Fort mode.  Sorry for being confusing.

man I was so going to see if one could raise these until someone mention special boxes for the task.
hopefully it's not a building right? RIGHT?

[Alocer]

In the creature_standard.txt file, I gave Dwarves the [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EGG_MATERIALS] tag, and under the female caste replaced the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag with:

Code: [Select]

[LAYS_EGGS]
[EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL:SOLID]
[EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_WHITE:LIQUID]
[EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_YOLK:LIQUID]
[EGG_SIZE:1100]
[CLUTCH_SIZE:1:2]
So I went and genned a new world, embarked with a few nest boxes (of the pitchblende variety for spice), but when I try to build a Nest Box it tells me I don't have any (even though I see it in the stockpile).  Alas, my research will have to be put on hold...
