Dig without tools?

Is it possible to make a race that can dig or cut trees without tools?

Nope. You can rename the digger to whatever you want, and make it as weak as all hell, but every race needs a digger. You can be imaginative, though - for an insectoid race that eats dirt, rename the pick to 'mandible coverings' or something (I believe I saw that in the Antman Mod thread)

Same for Axe. You can make races without both, but then they can't dig or chop trees, and that's assuming that it'll even run. DF may expect these things.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

I assume we'll get something along the lines of that once Toady upgrades the (non-player characters) AI so it can dig. A spin off from the Adventurers Skill Arc, perhaps?
