Arimeides Starter Kit

These are Arimeides GoMs (Grendels of Minimordor) for Docking Station. 
They are the most advanced breed of GoMs (the equivalent of version4)!
Arimeides are sexually dimorphic and react to a certain substance called Melhite in a similar way like the inhabitants of the Dune Universe to the 
Spice Melange. They also have some alternative ways to acquire nutrients. 
By saying "yes" to an Arimeides it's lifespan will increase. By saying "no" it will be killed! By administering preMelhite it can be rendered immortal...
Before Arimeides GoMs enter a portal to the warp, they need a dose of Melhite (e.g. by saying "yes" to them)!!

	Note: Inject Tendril, Fungi ,and Piranhas first before you use the Thing of Power!

- DS life event factory - PHOTOGRAPHS THE DEAD.cos
What is it for?: this modified file will disable the automatic taking of pictures from creatures at birth or death (saves hard disk spaces and lets you 
	decides what individual should be photographed)
What to with it?: backup the original file first; then copy it to "...\Docking Station\Bootstrap\010 Docking Station"; it will be active in new worlds or 
	can be activated in existing ones by using 
	ject "DS life event factory - PHOTOGRAPHS THE DEAD.cos" 7
	on the CAOS console

- DS creatureBreeding.cos
(it is a modified version of the water-eggs-cos file by Marcus, who has kindly allowed me to modify and distribute it)
What is it for?: this modified file will disable the season dependent gender distribution and instead deliver permanently more males than females (because 
	female Arimeides GoM outlive males); it fixes the swimmeragent/flyagent-egg-laying-problem; and finally since it is derived from the 
	water-eggs-cos file it will also allow eggs to hatch in water...
What to with it?: backup the original file first; then copy it to "...\Docking Station\Bootstrap\010 Docking Station"; it will be active in new worlds or 
	can be activated in existing ones by using 
	ject "DS creatureBreeding.cos" 7
	on the CAOS console

- DS creatureToCreature.cos
What is it for?: this modified file will disable the hit stimulus for hitting a creature of the same species, this way female Arimeides GoMs will not be 
	able to satisfy their nutritional needs simply by slapping her conspecifics... (one less violation of thermodynamics *lol*)
What to with it?: backup the original file first; then copy it to "...\Docking Station\Bootstrap\010 Docking Station"; it will be active in new worlds or 
	can be activated in existing ones by using 
	ject "DS creatureToCreature.cos" 7
	on the CAOS console
