its working fine in the beta except for the (obvious) lack of portraits

@Barely_Creative ah no problem, I actually did resort to dfhack method lol.

@AFLD
I'm sorry, I forgot I still had those instructions up there, but I was wrong about how poisoning works and there's no DF Hack-free way to intentionally coat weapons. If you play with modding a little, you could look into the add_spatter reactions from DF Hack (look up "df hack add spatter reactions" and go to the Bay 12 forums link). I may add this in a future version, but I've been stalled working on art and irl stuff slowly for a while.

Is this the correct setup for poisoning? : https://i.imgur.com/QjqVqDS.png

I have several warhammers stacked on that tile, and I am dumping a minecart of cave spider poison from the same level. As far as I can tell the weapons don't seem to have a spatter, but I'm not sure if it is just hidden information in the steam release or if I'm setting it up improperly.

I did add the reaction to dwarves rather than playing decapod.

for some reason foot covers don't count as shoes but as gloves so if you have trouble with your crabs not wearing them properly you know what to change in the game files

Does this support mods that add new buildables/technologies or nah

I have an issue with all my decapods molting the second the combat starts which has obvious drawbacks

I just started playing with this mod, its incredible! keep up the great work!

@Barely_Creative understandable. I'll keep an eye out for that update whenever you get time for it.

@Beep
Yeah, there's a base game bug that I forgot about where tame silk producers stop creating webs, so they don't currently work. I'll probably just add a recipe in the next update to allow you to create silk from their milk, but it may take a while for me to get to it due to irl stuff.

How do you get silk out of the slugs?

such a cool idea for a faction

Oh damn I've been missing out on the silky sea slugs. I gotta trade for some with my local 'pods.

now if only we could build in the ocean

Giant isopod pls

YES !!! Carcinisation Time !!! "crab rave"

Probably best to put it in a discussion here, I'll start one up.

you got a discord?

Hmm, that's strange unless they are like vampires/werebeasts/intelligent undead.

also i have 200 year old sand crabs

ok so when air sponge do breed the babies end up geting killed by the big sponges because i guess they cant see and just hit stuff. ez fix is give every immobile creature (it also happens with Anemone) a one tile pen. its funy tho bc for sponge its auto meat if you have auto butcher dead animals

@Dez
There's a table in the description here that has all that information (eg lobsters age up at 12)

also what ages do everything grow up? trying to figure out when my lobster frys will be able to work

@Dez
Air sponge should breed if opposite sexes are pastured close together (probably within a few tiles), but to be honest I haven't completely tested that out and the fact they are immobile may cause problems.

do air sponge breed?

@Bones
I think that's hilarious and exactly what I would do if my hosts suddenly turned into freakish pink blobs coughing blood, but I'll look into maybe not having that happen if I can.

It appears that molting may freak out any guests you have, since all my crabanoids suddenly molted and that made my guests start attacking my population, well really just the one crossbowman, there was also a poet but they were just afraid until a stray tame wolf mauled them for some unknown reason.

@Ceeno
Unfortunately, fortress mode does not path any creatures into water no matter what, so not really unless you want to drain the flooding somehow. Although if your decapods are just idling around they might end up walking under water and being fine.

@Glizzy
Gelding update coming in 1.0.1 so all animals are geldable and or give birth to multiple babies more rarely

@Icena
1.0.1 will (hopefully temporarily) remove halberds and great axes from Decapodia because they will not equip them but will bring them on embark instead of battle axes by default and not be able to chop wood.

Is there a way to build in flooded areas?

Can we get an update that lets us geld the new animals please? The Catsplosion has nothing on the Sea Slug-pocalypse

@Icena
It appears that sometimes the 'play now' embark profile takes a great axe or halberd (which cannot chop wood) instead of a battle axe. I'll look into some options to fix that without completely disallowing those weapons, but in the meantime if you can get/craft a battle axe the decapods are still able to use it. Sorry for the trouble.

@Jericho
Yeah, these crunchy bois will definitely fight with dwarves if given the opportunity.

will this mod allow my dwarves be declared war on by crab people?

I noticed that on the most recent version, I can't get get any of the castes to chop wood or dump refuse (unsure if this extends to hauling in general. or the full extent of labors affected) regardless of how I mess with the labor settings and even swapping the default battleaxes with normal axes on embark. Am I missing something? or is there potentially something up with the latest version? Sand crabs can mine just fine, and all castes are able to fish, but thats all i have seen so far.

@Ceeno yep

Can they breathe underwater?

New update finally up! Fiddler graphics should be fixed in addition to a ton of new features

Yeah, big update to all graphics + weapon graphics + new domestic animals + molting + misc other things is nearly complete, so that will be fixed within the next day or two

Some of the fiddler crabs have black bars on either side of their sprite.

jumpscare

You still have Zoidberg. YOU ALL STILL HAVE ZOIDBERG!

@Feiticeira @Sandia Sorry, there was another typo that I didn't catch on the shrimp graphics. Fixed (and tested better this time) in 0.9.2 up now.

@King I started a discussion post on that so we don't spam the general chat.

How do I make a mod custom playable races into the game?
You seem like someone to ask.
I have some raws for creatures of the quadraped kind and body entities.
Not sure how to add them to the steam version as it seems to have a mod loader/manager included.
Cool mod btw. :D

and also... for some reason the new graphics dont appear even in fresh created worlds... anything i can do?

btw the fiddler crab pixel art is precious... the claw is amazing

Graphics are also save compatible, so in general a change to graphics shouldn't require a new world (I know this because I often just reload saves with edited files to test graphics), so I'm not sure what the problem is.

@Feiticeira Weird, I'm working on other graphics right now, and I don't have a working set of the previous version of the mod (and don't want to risk overwriting my new work to get one), so that issue is probably gonna exist for a day or two, sorry.

oh despite the update, shrimps are still invisible for me, i guess i have to make a new save

yoo thanks for the very fast update

lazy*

i love this mod so much! i have in my fort a kazy shrimp girl who is the broker... instead of trying to trade or something she just talks to the caravan a bit to instantly go to my -6 floor where my tavern is to create meetings
