new race incapable of digging, won't even pick up PICKS
« on: November 19, 2008, 06:41:50 pm »
I don't know what's making this behave like this, but for some reason, the custom race I'm trying to add is incapable of picking up, well, picks and as such cannot dig. (at least, they can't/won't dig)

code from the raws below:

Body:

I think SIZE:4 is your problem. They're too small to wield picks. Picks have [MINIMUM_SIZE:5]

Yup, you need to either make them bigger, picks smaller, or add mini-picks for them to use.

...that would make sense (and that also tells me there's gonna be other items my foxes can't wield, but could possibly sell)

random question (since the Dwarf Fortress Wiki page lacks a page listing the item tokens - I've already posted a question on that on the talk page for it): is there a "[MAXIMUM_SIZE:x]" tag?

Kobolds had this same problem, so some weapons had smaller versions made for them (the pick became a shovel).
Just toss in a new item, and it'll add both flavor and diversity to the mod.

No.  You can check the string dump to see if tags/tokens exist: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/String_dump
