Creatures with the [BUILDINGDESTROYER:#] token will actively seek out various Template:L, Template:Ls and other Template:Ls and topple or destroy them. They come in two varieties, the first being annoying, and the second dangerous. Buildings made from raw materials will be toppled, leaving the materials on the ground, while buildings made from furniture will be destroyed, not leaving behind any items.
Creatures with this tag are gifted with an incredible ability to sense exactly where your buildings are. Underground creatures such as the Template:L or Template:L will charge your fort immediately after spawning at the edge of the map. Plan your Template:L accordingly.
The time it takes for a building destroyer to destroy a building depends on the quality of the the building. Artifact quality furniture can never be destroyed; a building destroyer will attempt to destroy artifact furniture, but unable to do so, will stop at the furniture until a valid creature target for the destroyer's attention wanders near.
Annoying Variety
When the value is 1, the creature will go after wooden Template:Les, wooden Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls and Template:Ls only. They can't destroy homes during world gen as (semi)megabeasts.
[BUILDINGDESTROYER:1] creatures:
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- all Template:L (if the creature was a level 2 building destroyer in life, it will be reduced to 1 in undeath)
Dangerous Variety
When the value is 2 the creature will actively seek out Template:Ls and destroy them. They can also destroy buildings during world-gen with this tag. Megabeasts rely on this token for their pathing when attacking your fort. Template:Ls (walls, staircase, floors, etc.) are still safe, since they're processed the same way natural terrain is for most situations.
The simplest way to keep building destroyer 2's from constructed targets is with walls or channels. The outside of a raised Template:L will act like a constructed wall, blocking building destroyer 2's without that danger of being destroyed. [Verify]
Tame animals still carry their building destroyer tokens.
[BUILDINGDESTROYER:2] creatures:
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L
- All Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls
See the Template:L for more information on creature tokens.
