I spend most of my time in DF building things. I'm working on a pyramid right now, and I want to make towers, massive statues, castles, labyrinths... All that sort of stuff. But I'm tired of fighting with my dwarves, who are always complaining about "needs" and "happiness." So I'm working on a new playable civ creature to use for building. I've never tried to do this before, so I'll need a bit of help.
I can't find any info on the tags that go in the entity raw. I don't know what most of them mean. I am trying to make changes to the dwarven one, but some of the tags are a mystery: for example, what do SELECT_SYMBOL and CULL_SYMBOL mean?
I know that I don't want to deal with clothing or weapons or fleeing with these guys. They should be strong enough that combat isn't an issue. I also don't want them appearing all over the map to harass adventurers.
Here's what I have so far for the creature file:
