Possible to make ivory count as shell? Or give elephants shells?

Thread title does explain my request I guess...

Got a moody dwarf, and no snailmen on my map =/

No turtles, lobsters, cave turtles, cave lobsters?

I don't know about latest dwarf fortress, but I think in 40D all it took was as simple as adding the [HAS_SHELL] tag under some creature, but I've heard it's a little trickier now.

I think if your dwarfs ate the turtle it gave you a shell...

I mod games and educate others how to do so as well, if you'd like to learn join my Discord and you can join a bunch of like minded individuals. (Presently modding Space Engineers and No Man's Sky.)

Looking into modding DF? This forum guide & wiki guide may still be a good start!

Yes, that changed in DF2010, now you get shells when processing raw fish, and there's a few bugs with fish availability =/

Go to material_template_default and add the [SHELL] tag on your material of choice ([MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:TOOTH_TEMPLATE] in this case). Note that this only seems to work on things butchered after the modification.
