A Couple Animal Changes and Reproductive Mechanics.

First off, armadillos need the [BIOME:ANY_DESERT] tag, I think.

Second off, bug people shouldn't use HUMANOID_4ARMS:
Code: [Select]

This is used along with the insect bodygloss. But when you do this, you end up with the legs coming off of the abdomen, which never happens in real life. It should be like this, with the legs attaching to the thorax, and a scaled down thorax:

Also, there should be a special ARTHROPOD_INTERNAL that has a heart, lungs, and intestines that are all lowerbody-continue. And a lowerbody-continue stinger for any future insect people.

One other thought I had, would everyone be opposed to if reproductive organs were a body part, and separate thing from gender castes? People might not like it being a thing in the game that someone just got lopped off and you have to read about, but it would add to the realism. If they were damaged, animals wouldn't be able to reproduce anymore. Bees would be able to be properly represented, as the worker bee could be [FEMALE], and therefore called a 'she', but not be able to reproduce. Snails could either have both sex's organs, or have a third classification of asexual organ. Then they could be called an 'it', and still reproduce. There could be the two mammalian types, and then the three egg-laying types. Also, milk secretion? Maybe? I dunno. Like, if a mother becomes incapable of it then her baby starves. You could have an entire new host of good and bad thoughts from feelings of inadequacy and achievement.

That went in a completely different direction than I had planned in the beginning.

And yet somehow amid the tanzanite buddha, the raining logs and the mysterious moods, the only thing that has me puzzled is why my Doctor/animal trainer Tekkud is taming eagles by feeding them eagle guts.
