Question: Is it possible to create a custom creature entity that can dig with a body part, like claws instead of needing a pick?
For example; burrowing dog creatures, moles, echidnas, etc.

I've been updating a Diamond Dog raw entity file for use in the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress.
The line: [DIGGER:ITEM_WEAPON_PICK] is used in Dwarves to allow them to use picks to mine.
But I was wondering if that line was modified to reference their claws, would that allow a creature to mine without requiring picks?
I suppose if this worked, perhaps we could make other creatures like Civilised Worms or something else?

Nope. Most mods that I've seen with this in mind make a modified pick item like a "digging claw" or something, but it needs to be a tool.

Ah, nevermind.
I'll probably just stick with giving all my custom entities access to standard mining picks. Should save having to add extra items.
