make random instances of dragon nests/hordes

When using this mod, I checked my performance stats and found out that the mod was eating a MASSIVE amount of tickspeed. :(

is there a plan to make them fly like birds?

The "Customize Animals" mod is fully capable of adjusting the stats of dragons, I believe. I use it to give vac resistance to void dragons.

Seems like ppl want mod settings that adjust dragon stats

@ElToro Do you know which mods are causing issues with the drafting code?

@veoba yes. just yes.

hi otter,
i would like to know why curtains made of rare dragon leather have an attractivity of 92, whilst curtains made of normal dragon leather have an attractivity of 99, against true dragon leather curtains with 100? it all seems a bit much, compared to thrumbo's initial "max" value setting of 60 and in respect of it being scales, not cozy pelt. i really wish you would notch the whole mod down, dragons emself too. makes the game way too easy to have them around, also the caravaning. what do i have a herd of dromedaries & elefants for...ah yea right, to feed the dragons that can barely fly and walk pretty slow on the colonymap, but suddenly race on yayo as soon as they enter the worldmap.
i've really fallen in love with your mod, but it has powerissues.

How balance breaking is this?

will there ever be an apparel mod for the dragons? id like to take them out in space without them dying

Would it be possible to add an optional mod to or setting to make them hit harder ? When playing with hardcore mods like Void/Kraltech they literally can't do any dmg to them, even a giant warrior from BigAndSmall is stronger.

The advanced incubator doesn't actually speed up hatching. I put in an egg that had 40 days to hatch, and after ~5 minutes, it still said ~40 days to hatch. :(

I love it, but I feel the value of the dragons needs to be nerfed a bit. I keep getting massacred by huge raids because it thinks my wealth is super high because of two dragons. The reality is those dragons are *fine* in Combat and do little to counteract a massive raid.

I just discovered the Talbuk among your dragons. They're so cool !

And also if you wanna use nests then just move it on top of the egg and it works I guess

I also have problem with dragon eggs not showing anywhere to store. Neither storage zone or dragon nest works. dragon nest show only empty storage settings. For now if you wanna move eggs just form a caravan with an egg then draft your colonist to manualy move the egg. You don't need to even leave map to do so.

I have a problem with all of the dragon eggs (fertilized and unfertilized). They do not show up in the storage settings.

@chiro oh thats a weird issue ill have to see if anything can be done about that

Noticed the problem - public static bool IsFighting(this Pawn pawn) is always returning true for dragons, this is causing some issues with other mods. Could you take a look why this might be it?

I found the problem.
There is an incompatibility with Unfertilized Eggs
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2955797605

seems to be a problem with them laying unfertilized eggs.

Hi, my dragons seem to suffer from crippling constipation. When they attempt to lay an egg the following error is thrown. They retry laying the egg until they starve to death :(
Other animals can lay eggs.
I wonder if this is a mod conflict. (600+ Mods)

Hello ! Sorry if the question has already been asked. I play with the dragon bond mod so, I already have a baby dragon. The problem is, since the hatching of the egg, I always have two wild dragons on my map. Even if I ban one, another spawn almost immediately.

I also want to know if I can find an option to reduce life and damages of dragons.

Thank you in advance for your help !

(P.S: the discord link is dead, I don't know if it's normal)

@Onyxae thanks for the reply, I think the issue is due to a mod conflict which result in the nest available content not showing up. clicking allow all fixed the problem.

@Wiike your colonists should automatically load the egg onto the nest

Stupid question, but how do I hatch a dragon? I spawned a fert. dragon egg, and theres the dragon nest storage furnature but it does not allow me to put anything in it?

Had to remove it from my game since every single dragon I encountered was a Defender of the Ancients faction. Makes playing a gravship game nearly impossible since they would just hunt everyone down almost immediately if they spot them.

Dragon Genetics and Dragon Bond made by our friends are both up and running with 1.6!

Hell yea

theres nothing special about these dragons in regard to real rules interaction besides the fact that the dragons are just stronger and win more fights with animals.

@Akira Blaze ah yeah thats a long standing issue that as far as I know they don't have a tag or code i can include that will fix that.

@Raistlin Try unsubscribing and resubscribing. Steam has been not wanting to update mods

can you add support for the sapient animals mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3505241400

I think precentormarcial's issue might be the same as mine, which seems to come from real ruins. The dragons are assigned as defenders and are made part of the ancients faction as a pet, so they'll just wander around where they spawn until all the nearby animals are dead then they'll succumb to starvation themselves, and because they're part of the ancients faction you can't set them to be hunted or tamed

Yup, load-up error is gone. Looking forward to using the mod. Thanks!

Sorry, for me the problem still occur!

Sorry I'M Joking!!! It works fine!
Thank you so much for your hard and great work!!
Best developer Team ever!!!

omg it worked, thank you! <3 You fixed it!

Update Pushed that should fix the missing flecks and effectors

Oof yeah, the more mods the more problems and the harder it is to really hunt down who's casuin trouble

Onyxae I feel thta there should be a problem with another mod, because after that I did the first time attack to post of a mine of steel and I couldn´t take any resorces.

I´ll do more investigations, may be it would be a problem in the order of the mods (too many to count them XD).

@tuanBao, Oopee,Frog,Mortagon,Raistlin I think steam is just refusing to update random files. It seems to be an issue a lot of mods are having right now. I will try to change more files and maybe steam will notice and do its job.

@precentormarcial are you able to provide a hugslib log and a mod list? If you join our discord you can post the info there

Hello. In my run the dragons can´t be hunted or tamed (no option to do anything) and in the end they die for starvation. It´s a good chunk of resources but it´s weird.

@Onyxae, thank you for taking the time to do so <3 hope you can figure it out!

Steam may be being funky with the files, we'll be testing to try and find the error soon

the error with heat distortion.. in it.. No idea whats up..

I am also having the same error

XML error: <overrideShouldHaveAbilityTracker MayRequire="onyxae.dragonsdescent">true</overrideShouldHaveAbilityTracker> doesn't correspond to any field in type RaceProperties. with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3202008037 this mod hh..

@Onyxae I am also getting the same error.

(Could not resolve cross-reference: No Verse.FleckDef named DD_HeatDistortion found to give to Verse.SubEffecterDef Verse.SubEffecterDef)

I've done multiple rebuilds of my mod list. Cleared AppData files. This error only shows with this mod loaded.

I tried adding Dubs Bad Hygiene to my mod list, but the error persists.

@ OttersHoldHands sorry but...
Have you had a chance to look at my log yet?
