 It is seriously breaking my mod. It might just be related to the current necromancer AI bug , but it IS a bug.


They just stand somewhere and don't even try to go and reanimate. EVEN WHEN THEY CAN they can be standing ON a body, they will actually run away from the body.

Even in arena mode, before they would run to the nearest body to use the interaction, but they just stand there now.

necros don't do it either though.
Also when atatcked by a cthulhu priest in fortress mode they just stand there.

edit:
After a bunch of testing i found that they DO however use the interaction during combat. This is obviously not intended.

 Okay, so both vanilla necromancers and your modded creatures will only raise bodies when in combat?

 Seems extremely plausible that it's an intentional change, they used to go pretty hog wild with reanimating corpses. I'll leave this open a while for feedback, but I'm not seeing any adverse consequences for the vanilla game.

 I hope it isn't intended, I don't want to halt working on my lovecraftian mod, cults are the most popular feature in the mod.


And I want to make it so you can actually see the cultists doing things (liek going to stockpiles and using the stuff (corpses) etc)

 It does make it very hard to use necromancers to raise undead for military training or to get more bones out of sentients. I currently have a necromancer on a chain and haven't been able to get him to raise ANYTHING through a window, even when the corpses are right under my military dwarves.

 Exploits are not features.

 Haven't seen any non-exploit reasons to keep this open.
