I like these ideas.
I want to add a certain mod into this that allows one to create bone 'bars'. This way other civs, specifically primitive ones like 'bolds and certain animal men, use bone weapons and armor. The 'bolds can be made a little more dangerous by letting them use wood armor and weapons like vanilla elves or, preferably, bone equivalents, if onl for aesthetic purposes. I like the cave roach, but unfortunately, the whole tissue layering thing is new to me as a modder.
I'm better at plants, items, and reactions.
i like the hole bone thing and metereals arent to complicated so a bone bar could be like:
[INORGANIC:PREST_BONE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BONE_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL:prest bone]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:0:7:0][TILE:241]
[SOLID_DENSITY:1410]
[IS_STONE]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]
[BLOCK_NAME:bone block:bone blocks]
and the test reaction i created to make it: (in no good at reactions)
[REACTION:PRESS_BONE]
[NAME:creat prest bone]
[BUILDING:BONE_PRESS:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:PREST_BONE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:SOAP_MAKING]
and to get better bone wepons add clay for a harder and more resileant form:
[INORGANIC:HARDEND_BONE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BONE_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL:hard bone]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:7:7:1][TILE:241]
[SOLID_DENSITY:2403] cant find the proper data on bone china so this is not going to be as good as it should be
[IS_METAL]
[ITEMS_WEAPON][ITEMS_WEAPON_RANGED][ITEMS_AMMO][ITEMS_ARMOR]
[ITEMS_METAL]
[ITEMS_SCALED]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:7]
i only tested it quikly but i had fun bulding a bone wall.
