Dumb hipster newbie modder presents to you,
Feesh Fortress! (tentative name)
Still in testing. Very much so.File is here.EDIT: I made a major oversight in the file - underground trees weren't growing. This has hopefully been fixed.Changelog (from vanilla):
-Added two new playable races (kuhlians and bettaris, details will be posted below).
-Added several new creatures (full list will be posted below).
-Added a bunch of new aboveground crops. Some of these were inspired by garden crops from DF2014.
-Changed a few vanilla plants around (full list will be posted below).
-Changed all subterranean flora. New crops, new trees, new grass (full list will be posted below). The list is actually a bit shorter than it was before, though.
-Removed grazer tags from
all creatures. (This was due to a personal annoyance.)
-Changed all vanilla common domestic creatures into wildlife - I wanted to keep a theme, but I didn't want to remove the vanilla domestics.
-Removed several vanilla creatures (mostly monkeys and a couple of looters - again, due to personal annoyances).
-Changed all [PET_EXOTIC] tags to [PET], and added a few.
-Changed certain megabeasts around a bit (dragons and hydras are now 'great dragons' and 'great hydras', with lesser versions of them appearing in savage biomes).
-General breeding alterations for certain creatures (such as helmet snakes).
-Added reactions for making and glazing a variety of different ceramic furniture - doors, tables, chairs, floodgates, querns, millstones... and so on and so forth.
-Changed certain reactions to give more of a product (bituminous coal and lignite are now more efficient, alloy-making has been drastically improved, beehive products have been improved, a few ceramic reactions have been altered).
-Added bread, cake and jam (as plant cheese).
-Removed aquifers from all (regular) stone layers, as well as puddingstone. Instead, aquifers appear in
aquastone, which forms small clusters throughout any stone layer and is significantly more valuable than regular stone.
-Added some new equipment, instruments and toys (full list will be posted below).
-Added a few soil types (full list will be posted below).
-Added some aboveground trees (full list will be posted below).
-Changed noble positions for playable civs around. Dungeon masters can be appointed manually, and mayors are
supposed to also be appointed manually, but I haven't had a fort big enough to actually test that yet.
-Changed a few graphics to be more appropriate/thematic. (Others are still the same.)
-Removed a lot of vanilla notes from raws. (Sorry!)
I
think that's everything - if you spot something I missed, let me know! (I have terrible memory, and a lot of this stuff was imported from my personal mods.)
Also, the init files have been heavily altered for my personal preferences. Feel free to change them!

Vanilla plant changes-
-Muck roots and bloated tubers now have seeds (muck runners and bloated tuber roots).
-Kobold bulbs have seeds (kobold bulb roots).
-Valley herbs have seeds and can be milled into valley spice (which can be made into valley spice bread), golden salve can be cooked (and is much less valuable to compensate), and they now appear in any grassland during any season.
-Redroot dye is more valuable, and hide roots have been made less common to compensate.
-Sliver barbs and glumprongs appear in any wetland biome (since evil tags don't work for plants in 31.25).
-Sun berries and feather trees appear in any forest biome (since good tags don't work for plants in 31.25).
-Vanilla berries (prickle berries, wild strawberries, fisher berries) can be processed into barrels for juice, and the juice can be made into jam.
-Longland flour can be made into longland bread. (A time-honored classic.)
New flora-
Aboveground trees: mesquite tree (dry, appears in deserts), cypress (dry, appears in temperate and tropical coniferous forests), fir (dry, appears in taiga and temperate coniferous forests), dogwood (wet, appears in temperate broadleaf forests and temperate freshwater wetlands), cottonwood (dry, appears in any temperate broadleaf biome), aspen (dry, appears in any temperate broadleaf biome), ebony (dry, appears exclusively in tropical dry broadleaf forests, black wood, wood is heavy and more valuable than regular wood), teak (dry, appears in any tropical biome), elm (wet, appears in any temperate broadleaf biome), eucalyptus (dry, appears in any tropical biome).
Subterranean trees: vallisneria (bright green wood), bacopa (dark green wood), cryptocoryne (yellow wood), anubias (dark green wood, very heavy). In keeping with the theme, these are all based off of aquatic plants commonly used in freshwater aquariums.
Subterranean grass: all other subterranean grass has been removed and replaced with hair algae, which looks like regular aboveground grass. (Keeping with the theme! But still kind of boring.)
Since the crops are a lot more complex, I'll list them differently from the trees/grass.
Aboveground crops:
-Honey pod. Wet, appears in any non-freezing land biome. Can be milled into honey sugar, which can be made into honey cake. Can be barrel-processed into pod honey, which can be made into honey candy (jam). Can be brewed into pod mead.

Subterranean crops:

New soil types-
-Changed clay around a bit. Regular clay is now red clay, and regular fire clay is now red fire clay. Added blue clay and blue fire clay. (I could have added blue silty clay, etc. but decided it was too much effort and kind of pointless.) Blue clay can be used for earthenware, and blue fire clay can be used for stoneware.
-Added a few new sand types - blue, aqua and purple. All of them function the same as vanilla sand, though blue sand can cause visual problems if you're draining water onto it.
-Four new generic soil types. Green mud, aqua mud, blue mud, and purple mud. These are the same as regular soil types, just with more vibrant colors.
New items-
-Gauntlets can be made out of leather now. (This is a modification, not an addition, but I'm putting it here anyway.)
-Hats. Generic head clothing, basically the same as caps.
-New instruments: maracas and castanets. Unfortunately, they are not made in pairs.
-New toys: balls and toy rods. I did add them, but I've never seen them actually made - just sold by caravans. Bleh.
-Waistguards. Armor pants for people who don't have legs.
-Large shields. Bigger and more protective than regular shields, but also heavier.
-"Shoes" for legless people. Tail guards and chain guards serve as armor (and tail guards can be made out of leather). Tail covers serve as shoes, and tail wraps serve as socks. These are all made in pairs, even though legless people can only equip one at a time.
New weapons:
-Hatchets. Smaller and more convenient axes that can be made from obsidian.
-Lances. Piercing weapons that are smaller than pikes, but use the pikeman skill.
-Sabers. The same as scimitars, added for flavor.
Playable civ details-
Kuhlians are fish-people in the shape of kuhli loaches. They don't have legs, but they do have arms, and their fingers are called "long rays" (and the thumb is called a "short ray"). They are prolific breeders, reaching maturity in only 2 years, and lay eggs. Kuhlians have a tendency toward being nervous and jittery, but are also compassionate creatures. In terms of morals, they don't really like hurting others, and have strong repercussions in place for those who hurt others pointlessly. Torture, slavery and eating of sentients (in any form) are unthinkable - but it's more than alright to eat plants and animals... and their own eggs.
Bettaris are large fish-people in the shape of bettas. Like the peaceful kuhlians, the bettaris have no legs and use rays instead of fingers, and they lay eggs and mature quickly. Unlike the kuhlians, the bettaris are warlike in nature, favoring battle and protecting their territories. Torture as an example is acceptable, but other forms of torture are looked down upon. Everything else is acceptable - except for defiling another individual's property in some manner, which is punishable by death. (It's okay if you kill the owner beforehand, though!) When you're playing as kuhlians, bettaris should attack in various forms - babysnatchers, thieves, and eventually sieges.
-Issues: I don't think I put a lockpicking tag in for bettaris, so they may be rather ineffectual thieves. Some of the "new" items and equipment may not actually be usable at the present time. Also, I haven't tested any of the high-population or military stuff yet. That's one thing I'm looking for in playtesting.
