Can you have a description for something like hair length, and have this description change as the hair is sheered?  Some sort of visual indication that the animal may be harvested?

I thought this was already done with animals with shearable hair? Pretty sure I noticed my sheep descriptions changing over time and after being sheared.

Here's the section for sheep:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

      [SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:HAIR]
         [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:WHITE:1]
            [TLCM_NOUN:wool:SINGULAR]
         [TISSUE_LAYER_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LENGTH:0:0:0:0:0:0:0]
            [APP_MOD_NOUN:wool:SINGULAR]
            [APP_MOD_RATE:1:DAILY:0:300:0:0:NO_END]
            [APP_MOD_DESC_RANGE:10:50:100:150:200:300]
         [SHEARABLE_TISSUE_LAYER:LENGTH:300]

Orly?  I need to investigate how this works exactly then, unless someone's already picked apart what the various numbers mean...

EDIT: Hmm, seems the wiki is actually updated for this, except for the description range.  Alright then, can the creature then be made to shear multiple items at once?  Like, if the shearable length is 10, and the growth rate caps at 20, will it then cause 2 items to be returned on shearing?

Is there a way to get dwarf hair to be usable in cloth? The game won't allow it to be used for anything other than surgery. I had it working in the past, I just can't remember how I did it. I know I can set the hair to be wool, but I would rather have "Dwarf Hair Cloth" than "Dwarf Wool Cloth" even though both are rather humorous.

Just guessing here, but looking at the raws, sheep have:

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_MATERIAL:HAIR]
[STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:wool]
[STATE_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:wool]
[YARN]
It's probably the [YARN] tag.

OH jeez I never noticed that, thanks!

edit: Tried adding the yarn portion and while I can buy the cloth on embark, I can't make it out of the hairs in game, it says I need unrotten hair, and the hair sheared is placed in the refuse pile. I know I've had this working before, not sure what I'm missing.
