More Valuable Procedural Creatures

Description
Did you ever think it’s really weird that stuff made out of forgotten beast silk/bones/leather is as valuable as stuff made out of a cat? Using the power of lua, this mod changes that finally. Unfortunately, because I am bad at programming, it depends entirely on the syndrome names of said beasts, so maybe don't install this with a mod that changes that for some reason

Material value multipliers by type of creature:
* Humanoid angels: 5x
* Forgotten beasts: 10x
* Titans, "lesser" demons (the kind of small demon you usually find in geodes and volcanic walls), all (procedurally generated!) night creatures: 15x
* "Great beast" angels and "greater" demons (the kind you usually find in the underworld): 50x
(If that last one sounds unreasonable, remember that you have to breach the underworld and survive to make use of it! And also a good portion of demons are too intelligent for your dwarves to want to butcher.)

Try checking for options.rcp.c_class == "UNIFORM"
Greencat Sixty-Four  [author] 15 Aug @ 8:12am 
Also the reason that there are a bunch of errors in the error log is that creatures made out of a uniform material (like water or steel or whatever) don't play nicely with the [MULTIPLY_VALUE] token for whatever reason. It doesn't do anything except spam the error log but I will try to fix it at some point

Beasts are generated at the start of each world and saved at that time, so if you manage to force the generation script into a loaded mod then the changes would not propagate.
This is unlike statically-defined objects, which would reflect changes made every time the raws are loaded.

I have never tried putting this mod into an extant world but I would imagine that it probably would not work alas

does this require making a new world?

love the mod and the thumbnail

All it does is stick
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
[MULTIPLY_VALUE:x]
(where x is the relevant number) at the end of the relevant creatures' raws. It's not technically impossible that 52.03 broke it but I'm 99.99% certain it should work just as well as it does in 52.02

Before I try and stick this in the new version, is it likely to make anything explode with the new updates?

Thanks for making this!! It makes sense for them to be worth more.

I sent a friend request so I could PM you, I am making a somewhat similar mod (but for a different function) and would appreciate your input/advice as I haven't published any DF mods yet :)

The new API is uncharted waters, so don't worry about it.
