I have been making a modded race based on more warlike and scholary dwarves in fiction but I have seem to have run into a problem

For some reason on launch, every member of the starting 7 is starting out with identical coloured eyes and hair and the nose descriptor is sometimes saying that they have irises.

Anybody have any idea what could be causing any of these issues? All I done was duplicate dwarf raws for these and added a few extra colours for the eyes/hair but the nose one is eluding me

It's hard to tell without actually seeing the raws, but I can make a few guesses.
For the nose-iris thing:

• When you duplicated the raws, did you make sure to change the creature token? I hear duplicated raws can make things go funky.
• Is the nose iris descriptor about the size of the iris? If so, that means you've got a BP_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LARGE_IRIS that has the APP_MOD_NOUN as nose.
• Is the nose iris descriptor about the color of the iris? If so, that means you've got a TL_COLOR_MODIFIER that uses some of the special eye colors (e.g. IRIS_EYE_AMBER) with the TLCM_NOUN as nose.

As for people looking the same, it could be down to messed up raws, or the fact that the game intentionally creates people from a small pool of genetic templates (or something like that), so people of the same civilization often share a lot of phsyical characteristics.

That happens to unmodded dwarves too. Not sure about nose irises, but identical skin, eye and hair color is something I have seen a lot. And not only in fort mode, but in adventurer too, upon character creation you could hit randomize button like mad and these colors won't change. So that isn't probably tied to raws, but I would take a look at the nose irises.

What if make eggshell liquid and egg white solid? I want make GCT eggs.

hmm, i did manage to fix the nose iris, but if that level of non variation is baked into the system i think im outta luck

How do I make a creature use a reanimation interaction whenever possible? I'm trying to make a creature that reanimates its own severed bodyparts, but in the arena, it just keeps pacing around while completely ignoring the bodyparts that melted off, AND not regenerating when it's supposed to. The interactions work completely fine when I possess the creature, but it doesn't ever actually use them on its own.

The regeneration interaction will need a usage hint to tell it when it's appropriate to use it, say "clean_self"


The reanimation interaction should be used whenever the unit is in combat.

It's not regenerating at all. It just paces and doesn't use any interactions.

Edit: Nevermind, it's regenerating but still not using the reanimation interaction.

If I add [CHILD:0] or [CHILD:0:1], this will solve taming bug?

Is there any way to fix the sapient creature egg problem without the use of DFHack? I am making a mod with a race that lays eggs, and I am trying to keep it limited to raw editing, with no DFHack involved.

I think someone on here did it by making a caste as the only egg layer that has an on self interaction with a permanent syndrome that removes intelligent, but I'm not sure if it actually worked.

Not quite. More specifically, it says:

You can work around this by adding [CHILD:X] to the raws for that animal. Replace X with years creature is a child.

I need the egg layer to stay intelligent, it's supposed to be a "hive queen" type thing. Would just locking the queen in a 1-tile room with a nest box get the queen to sit on the eggs? Queens aren't really supposed to do much other than lay eggs and tell everyone else what to do anyways.

Make queen non-sentient, but power and can_speak. Probably, with natural social skills.

Not an option. It needs to be intelligent.

[brolol.404]

Not an option. It needs to be intelligent.

I dont think it's possible without dfhack

[MachoNacho]

Not an option. It needs to be intelligent.

I dont think it's possible without dfhack

But would just keeping it on the nest box with walls and a locked door work?
