I had my first frost wyrm show up while I was under siege, and while it did break the siege by killing 70 some goblins before dying, I didn't see it doing any breath attack or webbing, which it was described as having when it arrived. Is it supposed to have those abilities?

Once more bringing up that Frost Wyrms have no wealth multiplier for goods produced. Ex: frost wyrm meat is as valuable as that of a cat. Not sure if intentional.

hello! first to all, thanks for this mod is awesome, i have my first contact with them and they are tough, one of my legendaries died but was a great battle, i have a question how good is the scale armor compare to another metal likes the steel or adamantine?

Nah, no stockpile or burrowing (I never use corpse stockpiles or burrows). My butcher's shop isn't linked to any stockpiles, so it should have auto-butchered it like its done with other corpses before, but it didn't. When I tried to enact the butcher task manually it just said I didn't have any butcherable corpses. No idea why.

That could be some dwarf fortress weirdness. Was the corpse stored in a stockpile in a burrow with the dwarf/workshop attempting the butchering?

The creature doesn't have CAN_LEARN/INTELLIGENT, so it should be perfectly butcherable. In fact you can see items made out of it in arena and worldgen.

How do you get the scales to use for armor? My dwarves just killed one of these things and all it dropped was a corpse that couldn't be butchered

Somewhat related. Frost wyrms do not seems to have a wealth multiplier for goods produced. Checked the raws as well and couldn't find it. Is this intentional or not really? I don't personally need it but it feels odd for it not to have any at all.

Yep, that's the whole point. Leather and material properties transfer to items directly.
mihai 110 14 Oct, 2024 @ 2:36pm 
Question, if maybe you know. Do the properties of the skin/leather transfer to normal clothing as well or only leather armor? If say, I make a wyrmscale dress, will my civilian dwarf receive some protection?

And yes, if you manage to capture one, they are trainable for war and hunting.

They do have males/females and you don't need a CHILD stage to breed (they lay eggs).
However getting 2 is extremely unlikely, considering you need to knock them out, otherwise they break out of cage traps.

@stormwolf442 As far as catching them, anything unconscious will be caught in a cage trap. In my case it was legendary warriors walloping it with blunt weapons in the neck and head in a cage trap corridor. You seem to be able to war train them but I don't think they have a child phase so no domestication (unsure - only got one male).

Considering they're using the megabeast populations, is it a safe bet they can't be caught and tamed as warbeasts?

Ah, excellent! I look forward to encountering them!!
Deon ☣  [author] 15 Jul, 2024 @ 11:04pm 
No, like dragons, they settle in burrows anywhere they please.

Do these ones only appear in certain biomes?

1.1 is up, sorry for the inconvenience. Usually I get it right on the first try and double check after upload, but today I was in a rush to go to a market, and didn't check twice.

Fix:
- Correct creature files.

Compatible with previously started games with 1.0, if you manually replace contents of "/data/installed_mods/3273762775 (100)" with the newly downloaded contents of "/mods/3273762775 (110)" after you resubscribe.

Oops, I've noticed that I didnt upload the correct mod... I've edited the mod in /mods/ folder instead of /mods/mod_upload/

I will fix this shortly. You can re-subscribe to it and copy it to your /data/installed mods folder if you need to patch an existing game.

I like this creature idea. especially those that add a reason to use their Leather for armor as we all know leather armor vanilla is a meme vs basic metal armor.

I'm really enjoying this series of mods.
