That is actually a great idea. Mind if I borrow it?

Feel free to borrow hundreds of things from OldGenesis and its TODO list. (Mod is about 70% by Deon, 29% by me, 1% by guest contributors) (Deon doesn't mind if zillion things are borrowed)
I recommend my Finnish language file, good flavour. Maybe the "rat fork" toy.

I wish we could command "this plant rots in 1 month, cheese rots in 2 years" and "this creature can make offspring every 7 months".

I have earlier mentioned my issue of a custom entity not appearing, despite the race running fine in arena and another custom entity working fine, and am quite eager to receive some suggestions about what the problem might be. I asked what is required for an entity to work and what prevents it so that there could be a page to tell any modding novices so they can be confident about their early mods. Please can someone help with this

Could be all sorts of things. Does the error log say anything that might be relevant ? You might also want to use Legends Viewer to take a look at the world's history, to see if the entity is generating at all. It might not be generating at all, or it might be generating but dying out.

How do I get rid of everything's teeth? I'm sick of seeing that stuff splattered all over my fortress's lawn.

Yesterday I gave my current raws' tooth material
[EDIBLE_VERMIN] --let teeth decay from piles. Rats steal them.
so teeth will vanish.

I should give this tag to every tissue. Who needs stray limb disposal when I can get the rats to do it?

At the clay kiln, cremate bodypards:

Anyone know modding to create creature without shapeshifting dwarf into creature?

[scourge728]

As an inverse, what happens if you shape shift say, cows, into dwarves

You would need to use DFHack, which has a create unit script.  There isn't any way of doing it in vanilla.

If the cow is owned by the player fortress, the resulting dwarf would be a weird and slightly buggy long term resident (because livestock lack the necessary hist-fig data to be fortress members).  If it isn't player fortress owned, it would become a friendly creature iirc.

with my entity mods I have compared the raws to see what differences there are, and the main differences are things like biomes, reactions, jobs, nobles and values. The way I check to see if they work is to generate new world and start it in legends, searching for any reference to members of the race. Once I have seen multiple batches of one race in the historical figures list I can become quite sure that I have seen all the races that have been spawned. Of course, I have made sure that the second race has export to legends on nobles so that they should be present, quite aside from the fact that the gods should show up

How is reproduction handled for genderless or monogender species?

[Enemy post]

The game glosses over it, unless the creatures are specifically monogender and in a civ. They don't spawn in those conditions. Genderless civs work, however.

[murphieschecker]

I discovered what was going wrong; the [SUPPORTED_BIOME] token required a number as the final term, which I had missed. And now my worlds have civilisations that exist to fight and will quite happily murder their own rulers. Sadly this happened at a lower rate than I had hoped

Guys, how do you replace skin with stone? Forgot how to do it.

[Dunamisdeos]

If you can cast lvl6 spells, you just need lime, water, and earth.

Haha, real funny.

*tapdance, jazz hands*

Anyway you just have to replace the skin material with the stone one. The raw looks for the skin template normally, you just have to tell it to look for stone. I usually do it with a new body_detail_plan.
