Oh dear

Maybe Ridley could be, like, a kind of megabeast that's on YOUR side? You have no control over him, because he does what he wants.

Make him 2x2 squares instead of 1. Shows just how big and bad he is, plus it means you have to decide. Do you make all your corridors bigger, giving him free roam? Or do you confine him to one or two big rooms, boss rooms if you will.

>>32538
i didnt know that dwarf fortress had creatures that took up more than one square now

>>32553
I don't know if it does, or if it even can, but wouldn't be cool if it could? Would really emphasis just how big and tough they are, and with tilesets it means you could really go to town on detail.

This project is still alive? HOT DAMN!

>>32525
a slight fix
> phazon can either be used raw and injected into organisms like metroids or space pirates to create horrifying beasts
I'd suggested extracting liquid phazon from phazon-based lifeforms (they'd replace demons ideally, but unfortunately, it seems that you can't mod demons in the DF2010 as they are randomly generated), like venoms in DF, but you can't currently apply them. And i don't know of the way to turn creature (except undead).

> pirates cant reproduce
>Note that single-gender (eg. [FEMALE], [MALE], [NO_GENDER]) creatures will not have breeding couples, so a civilization with only these creatures will not have any population. (Possible exception is if they have very high [DAMBLOCK] and [MAXAGE] values. Tested in 40d, [NO_GENDER] civs at least are not placed at all. Presumably if the civ-stating code can't place breeding couples, it doesn't start the civ. Non-reproducing civs can be created by giving the creatures a high [MAXAGE] and a HIGHER [CHILD] or [BABY] age. Because the children never grow up, the civ is limited to its origenal individuals).

The only multi-tile creature is wagon and it's hardcoded. You can't really change the AI in DF as far as i know.

Couldn't you just have two types of tube? Like, cage tube and decorative tube. Make it so the cage tube (which is code-wise just a cage) can only be made out of glass.

Don't know if this has been spotted by OP:

The empty shell of baby ridley can be stuffed and used to calm down angry pirates.
But once destroyed, it's gone.

>>32660
stuff it with tubes

Hey, do you have a blog or something? Or is this the only place we're gonna know how this is going?

/tg/ here.

We're actually quite excited about this.

Update?

dead forever?

Please tell me this isn't dead forever

everything this guy mentioned is impossible and i've had a field day trying to get around how goddamn hardcoded the dwarf fortress engine is. but hey, its making progress.

>>39211
This is the greatest news.

(What's going to happen to the beer? Or do we just assume that Space Pirates are another race of alcoholics?)

>>39212
they don't NEED it, but a few new things have been added for all the plants that have been added in. i need names for them, though. SPACE NAMES.

also more food ideas besides "nutrient gel", rations, and "food emulsion"

i cant decide if metroid music or metroid prime music would be more fitting

updates out, last one for a while

custom weapons for each new race have been added in, a few new creatures, and some balancing with the metals. next update will be a big one.

So a random incinerator drone just sauntered into the forest above my fortress while three different caravans were coming to trade, attacked a zoomer, and then set the forest on fire.
The entire landscape was incinerated.
I lost four Pirates and a kitten in the conflagration.
Then the drones promptly left.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, MAN
I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, I PLANNED ON SCORCHING THE THING ANYWAY, BUT WHAT THE FUCK

>>39468
OH GOD IT'S STILL GOING

>>39469
WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY A INCINERATOR DRONE THEN

YOU COULD HAVE FOUGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
