Hi, I'm sorry I'm a bit confused on how to process the rough crystal glass, do I just cut it? I am trying to make crystal goblets with it but when I try the craft crystal goblet I get job cancellations due to missing ingredients

Why not make them drop Rock Crystal instead?

I think the pattern with this and the moss tortoise is to make common strange mood roadblocks renewable, abundant, and available on embark. No more will dwarfs die from lack of glass and shells!

I'm glad it's of use ^_^

Gotcha, I do not usually mod to "balance" the game as the game is quite easy for me as is, but this is a useful piece of info, thank you.

I just want to toss in some feedback after long time using this mod, once you get a breeding pair to lay a single clutch of eggs, you'll have so many crystal lizards that you basically get an unlimited crystal glass stream.

I should think it's too strong, though easily mended on an individual repository just lowering the eggs laying. Just for feedback's sake c:

your crystal lizards' tallow seems to be unusable for soap

Hello, no, they are standard pets, without grazing attribute.

Do they graze?

That would be really cool, Wyr. I hope that idea catches on, either here or somewhere!

I like these guys, a good mod! The free access to glass shards is a helpful trade boost.

This is an interesting mod, a good while ago (8 or so years back), me and my brother made a ravenous crystal lizard - inspired by ds3
If you're interested, I can send the file over.

That is an interesting idea! I will definitely consider it, thank you for the suggestion.

I love mods that add creatures with unique products you can center a fort's economy on (compared to generic leather/food/bone goods). This is perfect, thank you!

Are there plans to add different colored lizards that produce different gems?

1.3 update
Removed verbal description of interaction to avoid combat log spam in fortress mode.

I have balanced them about.. 6-7 years ago? At least the egg numbers. Is it producing too much bloat? I can revise it if needed.

they lay 22 eggs as newborns and adults, more than any other animal in the game i think. The crystal lizard omelette is particularly good

1.2 update is up.
Now crystal lizards drop (shear or poop, whatever you like) rough crystal glass every few months, so you can keep them for glass industry without butchering them.

That was the inspiration, yes.

Titanite lizard!

Update 1.1: I've added the statue graphic (that I completely didnt consider at first as something needed).

Interesting idea for shearing suggestion. I planned some other creatures that "spawn" minerals (like rock worms), but this could work too.

LOVE IT! especially for the glass. Maybe add in a Shear Option so we can Take some Gems or some such? can even have desciprtions like "he has Ruby scale" or Diamond etc. on their back like a Mane. either way awesome.

good addition to gaem

Very cool. It's nice to see more wildlife for the caverns.
