Summary0013423: [Large_Roaming] Pool Bug Circumvention
DescriptionRelated to the patch notes & raw changes to Creature Variations circumventing a certain bug.

How difficult would it be to find out the cause of modded [Large_Roaming] creatures not appearing in pools?

(Asking since: all I read relate to the creature variation change.)
Steps To ReproduceIn modded raws: have [LARGE_ROAMING] on a [BIOME:ANY_POOL] (or any specific pool type), & embark anywhere with pools.
Additional InformationFrom what I read from the patch notes & frome what I saw in the Creature Variation raws: this bug is merely circumvented for vanilla creatures.

The solution is to fix your modded creatures.

Also, this is not the place to post suggestions - those belong on the Bay12 forums.

It wasn't a suggestion.
(Or at least: wasn't meant to be.)

I was simply wondering in relation, due to how long it's been in the game.

The root cause of 0013407 was that the various POOL biomes are only used for vermin, never large creatures.

Thanks for explaining. Also was it ok that I updated the creature token info?
(Edit: ignore that part, it was reverted.)

Also updated the Giant & Animal Person pages for Damselflies to match their current rendition based on the creature variations & patch notes.
