Do raws actually need the indents to function? I have a fuckton of randomly generated demon raws that I got with a utility called DFWorldTinker. However, they don't have any indents.

No, they're just good practice. Helps legibility.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I JUST FORMATTED 14 OF THEM

Oh well. I was meaning to turn all 33 of them into one race, and this will help with that.

Is it possible for a technically inorganic creature that has blood but nothing defined for its blood to be vampiric?
Because this one migrant has killed three elves, two risen (the race I'm playing as), and a jaguar. If it were only the elf and jaguar kills I'd suspect nothing, but the two risen kills are suspicious.

There's a lot of possibilities for the risen kills. Those risen may have been were-beasts, or belonged of another civ, for example.

Anyways, one of the requirements for vampirism is to have blood.

So long as the creature has the [BLOOD:X:X] token, and fulfills the other requirements, then it can become a vampire.

The other requirements are being mortal, having the ability to learn, not being [SUPERNATURAL] or [NOT_LIVING], and not already having vampirism, a were-beast syndrome, or a mummy's curse.

Well, can't be a vampire, then.
We're [NOT_LIVING] and immune to old age entirely (although I could make them practically immortal with old age numbers in the ten thousands, causing the first old age deaths to happen in absurdly long world generations).
In fact, I'll edit that into the raws for the next generation for both the risen and the fallen.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way, how exactly does a solid blood work?

It creates a powder/solid on the tile and the creature that is bleeding. Gaseous blood creates a cloud of blood around the creature. In this way I once made a creature with lightning for blood.

Ah, thanks.
I also realized that my race DOES have blood, but I made an error when typing in the entry. I think a max age between 8 thousand and 7.5 million will suffice to allow both vampires and practically immortal normal people.
By the time they reach 8 thousand years old they've certainly done a lot.

Slight mix-up. Vamps and were-b's don't require mortality. Which is why elves in vanilla can become them. But on the plus side, necros do require mortality, so your race is now capable of becoming necromancers.

I just took a quick look through the various interaction examples to double-check what I said earlier, and noticed my mistake.

Encountering solid platinum necromancers will be a fun venture.

I'm combining 33 randomly generated demons into one demon with 33 castes. Does anyone know a mod with a creature with castes with different body detail plans? I need to know if I'm doing this right.

I'm no doctor, but I think the body stuff is caste-level, so pasting it into the different castes might work.

I know that. I mean something with castes made with different materials/tissues. Like a creature with one caste with skin and one with chitin. Or a creature with one caste with hair and one with feathers.

That I'm not so sure on, but the principle might be the same.
Just specify the body materials in the castes, not the creature.
I'm fairly sure that's a caste-level thing.

Basically just pretend each caste is a completely different creature.

Materials are a creature-level thing.
