The format is [BUILD_ITEM:<amount>:<type>:<subtype>:<material>]. Since the BOULDER item type has no subtypes, we just write NO_SUBTYPE. If, on the other hand, you wanted to use a sword for a building, you'd write [BUILD_ITEM:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD:NONE:NONE], since ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT is a subtype of WEAPON. If you wanted an iron short sword, you'd write [BUILD_ITEM:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT:INORGANIC:IRON]. If you wanted a short sword out of human bone, you'd write [BUILD_ITEM:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT:CREATURE_MAT:HUMAN:BONE]. See http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Item_token for a list of item types.

Alright, another little issue I ran into...
How can I get my gigantic lovecraftian horror to bite through bronze?

I used this first in the [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
  [REMOVE_MATERIAL:TOOTH]
                [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:GENERIC_TEETH:STEELTOOTH_TEMPLATE]
Here's the steeltooth template, which as the name implies, is basically just various tags copied from the steel entry.

But all his bite attacks continue to just glance away when attacking the bronze colossus.

Try changing the bite attack's [ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER:x]. The default is 1000, by the way.

Could also increase the SOLID_DENSITY. He is currently using 500 for his tooth, whereas steel has 7850.

Is there a limit on the characters (letters) usable by creatures? I tried making a creature with the £ symbol, but it didn't register properly. Is there any way I can work around this?

edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Just had to input the ASCII id number manually.

It might depend on the file's character encoding - files nowadays are often in UTF-8 (a cross between ASCII and Unicode), but DF would need the file to actually be encoded in extended ASCII (or ANSI) for the extended ASCII characters to work when directly typed in.

The blood of our enemies is but a symbol.  The true domain of Armok is magma - mountain's blood.

Is there a way to mode farm plots to be built anywhere (ie on stone), or to be able to 'construct' soil somehow?

I'm building a 'prison' of sorts. All but my original 7 will be in 'cells', each with their own single-tile farm plot. Irrigation is possible, but would be difficult on that scale. Especially with only my original 7 to 'work' with.

So apparently, this one dwarf is just walking around with a huge, gaping hole in his chest, with a slightly smashed heart, and bleeding absolutely everywhere, and he is PUNCHING OUT ZOMBIES.

No. For single-tile farm plots, just use buckets.

:o how did I never think of that? Will a 'pond' zone over a floor still be 'filled'? Sorry, wrong thread but I figured you might know.

No, the pond zone must be designated from a higher z level. Although you could always use dfhack's "liquids" command to place water wherever you require a muddy tile if it's a shortcut you're looking for.

Alright, I'm trying to make an elder thing civilization (maybe a bit too ambitious). Right now, I've managed to get the general body structure, but it seems to have lost its ability to grasp.

The body default

Did I miss a connection or something? It still has 5fingers. The tissues are mostly goblin (for now), could that have an effect?
edit: Sorry about the spacing, can't get it to align properly.

Use code tags to stop the BBCode parser from interpreting [LEFT] and [RIGHT].

Also, can you show us your eldritch creature's creature definition?

The [CREATURE:] for your entity. If you're at it, you can paste the [ENTITY:] definition too.
