I will say, I do hope eventually down the line we’ll get a update for captives to grow. It could have some cool lore/storyline implications.

Makes sense, thanks for the response! :)

@PhaseBird, the capturing is recent thing in game, I did just basic adaptation to make it work, but didn't dig deeper

If I may ask, why don't they? I feel it would make sense it would need a very advanced research, and even possible dissection of a ether wyrm and or ether drake.

@PhaseBird, wild drakes grow for sure, but captive not.

Still working but Ether drakes both wild and captive born seem to not grow.

oh also can you add a way for dragons already incubated to be upgraded to the reborn versions?

oh cool can you make a separate patch for this mod for infinite repeats for people who are unlucky as heck or just want unbalanced infinite dragon chaos?

@1y_the_first, yes, you can. Until it collapses on some attempt. Smaller molten lives less, choose big one for more attempts

can you use the same molten world over and over again? if so me happy

@Kocky_Doge(Science Team), not much I can do about that, that is basic game mechanic when disabled starbase become enabled again even if hostile fleet is still in system. That happens usually in situations when hostile space critter disabled spacestation and keep roaming in that system

it is super weird to heard my station is under attack every month in early game XD

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.
