If I stick this at the bottom of a creature entry:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Will it work? Also, did I miss any possible tissues?

EDIT: I also need a way to make different castes different colors. Is there a tag for that?

DOUBLEEDIT: nevermind, CASTE_COLOR

[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL] is a valid use of the token.

I don't want it to select the non-organic tissues as well. What is the tag for sterility? It isn't [STERILE]. That's the last thing I need for this update!

You can't make them sterile in the purest definition of the word. In Dwarf Fortress context it just means a species without the two genders.

But I have to have the two genders to make the species generate. I already tried it without gender tags and it didn't work. Then I remembered that species need to be able to form couples at worldgen to be placed, and added the genders back.

By generate, do you mean breed?

I'm fairly certain that non-gendered creatures can still be a civ, it's just that their numbers will only be whatever the entity gets to start with, and the closest thing they have to increasing their population in world-gen is having other creatures join their civ.

Sterility is something applied with a syndrome, so it is possible to make the creatures sterile by giving them an interaction that they use on themselves to make them sterile, though it will only be used when they are loaded on the map, and not used in world-gen.

For whatever reason, when I took genders out of the demons, they no longer generate. When I put them back in, they generate again. But the reason I don't want them to breed is because I want them to ravage the world and then die out 100 years into worldgen.

That's strange. Which world-gen parameters were you using?

It is possible that there weren't enough allowed civs to generate a demon one during some attempts.

I used the same parameters for all the worlds I was testing with. I always had at least one if not two demon civs if I kept the genders, so not enough civs isn't a problem.

Give them all an interaction with a GREETING usage hint that they'll use on each other as soon as they load in that will give them the STERILE tag (which can only be given through interaction).

If they have no child tag, will they only breed in worldgen?

Without a child tag, they can still breed in world-gen, but not in fort mode.

OK then, I guess I (and my mod's players) will just have to deal with them having children.

What controls which civilizations can be taken over by demons? I've seen it happen to humans and goblins in vanilla, but never dwarves or elves.
