World generation works perfectly fine for me with the code you put up. :|

Badger Storm's computer is haunted.

Such crashes is difficult to find because it's likely related to memory. Did you try "cull unimportant figures" in world gen? Smaller worlds? It is likely not the creatures you posted that cause the issue but civilized ones, even the non modified standard.

Long story short, your worlds may have too many people living in it.

Right, his machine has more souls in it than it can handle without them getting restless.  So, it's haunted

Some wise advise for testing how well something generates in a world - use the simple world generation set to Smaller or Pocket with a Very Short history (Short at most) with everything else left the same; setting metals to Frequent is also a good idea.
Smaller/Pocket worlds with Short/Very Short histories generate very quickly, even on older machines, and don't generate too much lag, making them optimal for speedy generation testing.

Somehow, during the process of creating new races and creatures for a mod I've been working on, Dwarf Fortress decided that it would be pretty neat if unicorns got to run their own civilizations. Normal, unmodded, unintelligent unicorns. Why? Who knows?

Judging from the position names in the "unicorn" civilizations, I think it's because the game isn't recognizing where one creature definition ends and the other begins for some reason It's not that, the creature just before it (an intelligent race that actually should be creating civilizations) still appears in Arena mode. Curious.

Upon further inspection, it seems to be acting as if I have both the modded creature and unicorns as being part of the same civilization even though they're not (and not supposed to be).

Duped raws. Check your errorlog. You have exactly one creature ID twice.

[Plump Helmet]

The duplicate raw wasn't either of the creatures in question, but it's gone now and things seem to have cleared up.

Hello my children, can you help me.
I want to be able to play as the special demons that escape during world gen, the ones that rule from slade spires with the random generation and all.
Is this possible?
I want a random demon character generator for adventure mode.
HELP

Love wolfy...

You cannot control world-generation historical figures in adventure mode, but there may be some creature generators around the forums somewhere. I don't know which ones have been updated to 40.xx though.

[Deon]

You can make a non-spawnable ENTITY with any generated forgotten beast or demon specified as an entity creature. Just don't forget to give it adventure tier and INDIV_CONTROLLABLE, and you will be able to play as an outsider.

You can find the exact IDs for the creatures if you don't compress saves and open a save with a text editor. If I remember correctly, it's something like FORGOTTEN_BEAST_1 etc.

I dont want to control historical figures. Just to have a demon entity that when I play adventure mode and select a demon outsider,  I get a randomly generated demon, totaly random but I want it to use the same random generation of the historical demons.
To sum it up, I dont want to know what I am until I start playing.

The idea is to seed more demons in my worlds that I have control over. So I can easily get a demon king in my fortress. and have wars against the others.
And for fun

[BlackFlyme]

One way to do that would be to create a creature with many different castes that represent different types of demons.

Okay, question.  How exactly do you make a race produce a material (for example, 'crate' items)?  I have a creature with the crate material, a reaction that produces bars of that material for free, and I give the reaction to the entity... but it just doesn't show up.  What am I missing?  What are the requirements?

[Adragis]

Can I get it so an entity makes settlements with an existing race (say, humans) but it has their name on it?
So, for instance, an entity called 'Balloon enthusiasts' (not the actual idea) made up of dwarves and humans, that make hillocks and hamlets etc. called 'Balloon Enthusiast hamlet/hillock etc.'?

[BlackFlyme]

Multi-racial entities aren't quite in yet.

Though mixed populations can occur, such as dwarves migrating to/being conquered by human sites, they cannot start as a mixed entity of dwarves and humans.

[Dirst]

You can put two creatures into a BALLOON_ENTHUSIAST entity definition, but they don't do what you'd expect.  Each civ instance will select one of the available creatures at random.  All of the civs based on that entity definition will have identical ethics and therefore be likely to swap immigrants, but not nearly as mixed as a modder might have hoped.
