How make RAW defined UNIQUE_DEMON without crashes in generation a world with Demon number 0?

Are you making any other changes? Toady apparently just turned off the toggled which disallowed modders from using the UNIQUE_DEMON and DEMON tokens (on demand, IIRC), so it might simply not work. Has anyone in this thread gotten it to?

How do I go about making a creature give a plant on butchering, if it's even possible? I've tried various combinations with EBO, but all I'm getting is:

Code: [Select]

COMPOST_MOUND_CF:DEFAULT:Unrecognized Item Token:
COMPOST_MOUND_CF:DEFAULT:Unrecognized Material Token:
Let's say I wanted the thing to drop a potato from its upper body.

[AshTheTiefling]

  [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:mynewdye:PLANT_POWDER_TEMPLATE]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:pruiple dye]
       [STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:PURPLE]
      [MATERIAL_VALUE:22]
      [DISPLAY_COLOR:5:0:0]
      [POWDER_DYE:PURPLE]
      [PREFIX:NONE]

and make a new reaction in desired workshop:

[REACTION:MAKE_P_DYE]
   [NAME:make p dye]
   [BUILDING:xxxxxxxxx:NONE]
put reagent egg here, maybe ten of them?
   [REAGENT:B:1:BOX:NONE:NONE:NONE]
      [EMPTY]
      [BAG]
   [PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:
put creature's mynewdye here.
      [PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
      [PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:B]
   --noneedfor FUEL]
   [SKILL:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Further help is available here: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Reaction

So, do I add 
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:mynewdye:PLANT_POWDER_TEMPLATE]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:pruiple dye]
      [STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:PURPLE]
      [MATERIAL_VALUE:22]
      [DISPLAY_COLOR:5:0:0]
      [POWDER_DYE:PURPLE]
      [PREFIX:NONE]
Under [EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL:SOLID] Or somewhere else?

EBO says it takes "itemtoken:materialtoken" just like reactions.
[PRODUCT:100:15:PLANT:NONE:PLANT_MAT:saltfromminerals:LEAF] --works
so something like PLANT:NONE:PLANT_MAT:mypotatoplant:mypotatoplantstubermaterial

*checks potato of OldGenesis*
PLANT:NONE:PLANT_MAT:POTATO:STRUCTURAL could be it

[TomiTapio]

So, do I add 
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:mynewdye:PLANT_POWDER_TEMPLATE]
Under [EGG_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL:SOLID] Or somewhere else?

Anywhere in the creature, probably not inside a this-caste-only section*. We are adding a material into the creature so we don't need to add it to the world(like a mineral or a metal).

* section starts like [CASTE:FEMALE] or [SELECT_CASTE:MALE]

Have people already begged Toady to add Hillocks as a site that civs can create in their own right, without also creating CAVE_DETAILED?
If so, when do you guys think Toady will do it?

Sites will hopefully be more customizable after the map rewrite.
We have a suggestions forum, it's probably there somewhere, or just add a new one.

All you can do is make [CAVE_DETAILED] civ settle in non-mountain biomes only. That will result in that only the Mountainhome will be a fortress, wherever starting biome may be, but the civ will create only hillocks from then on.

As I understand it, civ won't create new fortresses anywhere but in mountains, and since you can modify the biomes the civ's in, you can take care of that.

The only problem with this seems that the civ is somewhat weaker. They do poorly in wars and lose their settlements very quickly. Not sure if that's caused by lack of fortresses, tho.

Needs demons to have token NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTER for creating their experiments? What spheres give ability to "twisting powers"?

I too also would like to know if you can put NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTER on unique demons.

do i need to put new body parts/body detail plans in their own file or can it all go in one master file along with the modded creature definitions? and how do i put, say, a mane of fur on a creature that is otherwise covered in scales?

So now my question: How to make creatures (semi)megabeasts summon not attack the (semi)megabeasts themselves?

They have to be in separate files iirc.

Only workaround I found for that is with megabeasts that have NOT_LIVING - their summons wont attack them if the summons have OPPOSED_TO_LIFE and they also wont attack the summons themselves.

How does one keep a creature that doesn't sexually reproduce propagating across worldgen, if at all possible?  I just want to make sure things like skeletons and golems can menace dwarves throughout history, instead of dwindling to nothingness every time.

Second question - is it possible to create a secret that certain creatures instinctively know?  Can that be done on a caste level?  Could I have a race where every, say, 1 in 1000 is born with instinctive knowledge of magic that way?
