Right, so I'm making this thing (A) to have shell on demand, and (B) to give a friend vermin control beyond cats, as he dislikes cats.  And then it spiraled from there...

So far so good, but I've seen that chiten may or may not count as shell, so I'm attempting to staple a shell onto it, but the slaughter returns don't list any shell... just organs, meat and fat.

Here's the raw as it stands, mostly entirely cribbed from Cave Lobster and Dog.  Also my first attempt at modding a creature.  Claws from the Giant Scorpion.

Edit2: Thank you Hugo_The_Dwarf
+Updated the code file

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

these two go above the [BODY:SPIDER:.....]
      [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SHELL:SHELL_TEMPLATE]
      [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SHELL:SHELL_TEMPLATE]

after [BODY:SPIDER:....]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:SHELL_POSITIONS]

also I have no idea what  [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:SHELL:SHELL_TEMPLATE] is :/ but I'm sure it will cause issues

also remove [FISHITEM]

Hopefully this helps

Yeah, that seems to have done the trick.

Tried it with and without the chitin lines, without just produced a pile of 31 shell, (Which turned to a stack of "coconut lobster corpse," and was still used as shell when I added the chitin lines back in.)  While with produced the meat and shell.

Also took out most of the [NO___] stuff from the cave-lobster, leaving just [NOFEAR].
