Is it possible to make a backpack like item that, no matter how many items are put into it, it doesnt get heavier, but can only accept certain items?

EDIT: Solved my problem

SECOND EDIT: New question, Can you put a liquid, say helmet snake venom, into a quiver with arrows or bolts in it, and have the venom coat the arrows or bolts?

Technically, once a modder has learned the ropes though, couldn't they just add a symbol that casts them as a god? Or a creature that literally can't be killed and is 4 times as large the Earth. Basically, we dwarf Armok as a god.

I am now going to use my modding break time to see if i can put everyone here as a choice of diety. I believe i will fail at this but for the cause of !!science!! i shall try

EDIT: I thnk its plausible because creatures can have the [POWER] symbol which lets them act as deities.
EDIT II: With the [SPHERE:sphere name] you can set what sphere its worshipped with. throw on the [DOES_NOT_EXIST] tag and you have an insta-god. I assume anyways.

EDIT: I'll admit, my brain isnt working hard right now lol. I'm by far not the most talented modder either.
EDIT II: Here is the test code

Its ok for creature to have more than one [CREATURE_CLASS:???] tags without causing any problems or weird behavior?
Also, anyone tried how civs with more than one monarch behave? (Meaning specificaly giving [NUMBER:2] or more, to the monarch position)

1.
You can have as many CREATURE_CLASSes on a creature, just like you can have as many REACTION_CLASSes on material. think of them as bookmarks

2.
I did, I had 9. It simply gives them Number:X amount of rulers at once kinda cool.

That'll be useful if I decide to civilize my custom race. 6 sub-leaders might be a chore to exterminate.
Also, do Aligators make good pets? Or fighters?

Yeah, I have that for my SCP mod. 13 rulers--O5s are what they're called.

Power is more of a behavioral tag, makes them settle in a civ, it needs intelligent or can speak to demand worship, so it actually needs to exist.  I tried using power with non-existant creatures some versions back,  I had about a thousand, none of them were worshipped.

You may want to remove the does not exist, and add some creature parts/materials/tissues from a megabeast or a demon.

Maybe that the dwarves never died and everyone is just shunning them.

QUESTION: Currently, is it possible to create nomadic creatures/ wandering bandits like those subterranean bat/reptile/serpent/etc men upland among us...you know, lightly armed and clothed, small camps, the works. Or is it still limited underground? Will new entities added in/upgraded simply exists but still be very naked (or even disappear completely or other odd turn abouts).

I just want more small yet intelligent guys wanting to kill/bug me. Also I just feel like making Tigermen a more civilized wandering tribe.

Ehrm...more armed & armored/clothed monsters & mobs. Basically like Sandraiders in the deserts...they don't really have a "proper" civ or site (like normal animals) kinda like small nomadic hostile tribes. They have weapons to take out animals around them or shoot at you for looking at them funny and wander around their "territory".

But I guess for now they need an actual hometown to produce those breatsplates and arrows...oh well...
