Decision for barren worlds to get bombarded with so much ordnance their crust is destroyed

Ah, useful. Requires the Colossus AP, but still an option at least, as would be other mods which lead to creating them providing they code the ruined planet appropriately like the Stellarite tier bombardment from ACOT.

Could be an idea to make a molten terraforming option, or just molten worlds, give better chances or rewards than shattered due to the conditions of the host planet.

@Devidose, didn't think about that, will take into account. Also note, shattered planets are also suitable for hatching,

As a suggestion what about "terraforming" uninhabitable world into molten worlds to create potential nests for dragons? Sort of like a soft planet cracker approach through a Decision or something in owned systems if an empire has pursued the Dragon's Friend route and runs the Edict.

@Gogabor, Thank you for clearing that up. Loving the mod

@Unamused, right, it is small in size but with Wyrm weaponry. It gets also random bonuses to armor, hull, resistance, etc. So there is variety in hatching outcome.

@Gogabor, thanks for the answer. Just to make sure I am not overlooking anything: Dwarf Dragons are not the same as Wyrmling Dragons right?

@Devidose, as for weapons, I need to update them for bio-path as I can see, bioships uses own prerequisites and sets

@Unamused, only 'dwarf' can be hatched, also with selected AP and advanced hatchery special types can be hatched too.

Quick question about hatching dragons: do I need a specific tech to not just get dwarf dragons? Non-Dwarf dragons have all hatched feral

Speaking of the t3 beam, should it also be included as a Space Fauna weapon since the t1 and t2 versions are?

@Devidose, noted, thanks!

It's possible empires with bio-ships can't research the tier 3 Dragon Breath beam weapon tech from debris due to the Battleships requirement that they can't ever learn.

Killbot dragon plasma goes brr :D

Ah, I did wonder if it was hatching only. Looking forward to it being a debris research option for all my xenophobic killbot needs :p

@FearRedesigned, yes, dragons are counted as fauna

@Devidose, it can be get only after egg hatching, so I am afraid not the case for fanatic xenophobe of any kind. Alternative way is to kill big dragon and research remnants but plasma is the only weapon that can't be get by this. I am going to add it as option too

It's been a while and I may be currently playing the wrong kind of empire for this to matter, [Determined Extermintor], but what's the tech route for the Dragon Plasma weapons?

Are the dragons flagged as fauna?

Yay more dragons.

DSC fix working. Appreciate the quick turnaround as always.

@Devidose, check please if update fixes Deep Citadel + XL weapon

@Ghoti, that is quite random and quite dependent on several conditions, so I can't point to any easy way, Try to set planet flag egg_incubated to nearby molten planet, if other conditions will be met, you might detect egg there

@L W, mod is not connected with Biogenesis dlc
@Devidose, noted, will check that

Tier 3 Deep Space Citadel is unable to use the tier 3 X slot Dragon's Breath beam weapon.

Is it impossible to grow genetic dragon with biogenesis dlc on?

Is there a way to spawn more dragons into the galaxy? I'm wanting to try and get some dragons of my own, but none are anywhere close to my empire or sensor ranges for me to possibly get some eggs and such.

@Nikal, there are such restrictions for special system, either making them very unlucky to visit or friendly to dragons, but they are not updated with all that new 4.0 specials. I will check that and update

Oh. I just had a horde of dragons cleanse the galaxy…

It might be a good idea to include a game_rules file which would restrict the dragon country's movement through the Great Wound, marauders (original) territory, hatchery invaders and other spaceborne aliens special systems. Maybe even the FE, but they seem to deal with it well enough either way. 😅

Question: Do the dragons use wormholes?

Because I had an AI empire with the “Starlit Citadel” origin, but I'm pretty sure they weren't the ones to destroy the abandoned hatchery invaders. 🤨

should be a good food source for behemoths thank you

no promises, I did some basic checks for errors in error.log, quick fixes and set version to 4.0

looking foreward to new updates(havent tested in 4.0 so im not sure if it works or not)

@Gogabur, thank you for the clarification. I have satisfied all the conditions but this ai keeps getting to the eggs before me as we are allies, I have beaten him in a race for 2 now but this info is good to know.

@Yiraght, no special command here, amount of eggs is variable, so technically you may use "change_variable = { which = htbd_num_eggs value = 1 }" to get eggs. But there are several other events and requirement to satisfy to incubate it

Hi there, do you have a command to aquire an egg? Was curious.

also note, with some civics one or another edict can be not possible, e.g. fanatic xenophobe or purifiers can't be a friend, etc. But in that case only one is missing

Hi.
There seems to be a problem with my modlist.
I tested the mod alone and had no problems then.

@Techpriest Marold YT, are you playing open beta or vanilla game?

Hi, edict doesn't show up after I researched Dragons Friend & Dragons Fear.

I found an entry in the error log that could be related to this(?)



[19:34:12][trigger_impl.cpp:14543]: script error, has_edict is using an invalid edict key: htbd_dragon_friend. file: events/htbd_events.txt line: 1626

well, I've replaced 'Cloning' with brand new 'Dragon Biology' tech which is available for anyone curious about dragon incubation. Tech becomes available along with the first egg found

right, I recall that, after some new update they exclude ME without civic_machine_assimilator civic from getting Cloning. I've decided that such ME are not interested in any dragon incubation or such, being too busy with own machine things. So it looks like you are not such kind of ME and still has curiosity about dragon stuff ))

@damonyahbol, good question, I didn't realize that cloning is not available to ME. I will look for replacement, thanks. Stupid machines, why don't clone own slaves?

Hey quick question can machine empires get their own dragons and if so how since I can’t research cloning

@Инкви!, возможно починил, если есть возможность проверить через сейв - было бы здорово

@Инкви!, спасибо, проверю

Влетаю в систему с червоточиной дракона и вылетает несколько десятков однотипных сообщений.

Many thanks for keeping this mod working and updated!

@willispower812, done. I was worried if that would cause dragons be caught by snare, but they are not. Hope I didn't miss anything

did a test playthrough, so far its very fun, only one question, would it be possible to make it so that the resulting dragons you make count as space fauna according to the beast master civics?
