Is this possible?

I'm creating an antman race, and I want vampires, but it seems they need blood. Is it possibly to create a type of vampire that drinks ichor in the raws somewhere?

Unfortunately, vampires aren't really in the raws, as they're randomly generated with world gen. You can use a 3rd party utility (I forget which) to unpack the world save and modify the raws that way, but it's a bit of a hassle, and isn't particularly useful if you want other people to use the mod.

You could just create a custom vampire interaction in the raws.
However, I don't know if it's possible to make vampires suck anything besides blood.  It's possible the game might consider ant-men ichor as 'blood' for the purpose of vampires, assuming you use [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:ICHOR:LIQUID] to give them ichor for blood.  I know this works if you use a custom material based on BLOOD_TEMPLATE, but I haven't tried it with ichor.

Thanks, that was it. I had missed copying that line from the antman raws. I noticed regular antmen actually could become vampires in worldgen, but mine didn't...
