Don't worry, they won't be [COMMON_DOMESTIC]. And to stop newbie players from making the mistake of capturing a pair, they'll have [TRAP_AVOID]. I'm wondering if I should give them high value to make it harder to buy them at embark, as well.

If they're TRAPAVOID, you can't tame them.

But if you use webs to cover the traps, they'll be captured even with [TRAP_AVOID], right?

Just a thought: would it be a good trap to set up an "explosion" of webs when triggered?  You could use a web-generating creature (or one of its butcherable parts) as one of the requirements for making such a device.

Traps cannot use interactions. You'd have to make a "turret": a box with raise-able bridge walls containing a chained webber. Lower when you want it to web nearby things (including friendlies), raise when you want it contained. But you can't mod in a "device" that sprays webs when activated. Not without DFhack, anyway, and we've agreed not to make this mod dependent, since not everyone can use dfhack.

How about an immobile, indestructible creature that sprays webs when in water? That way you can create simple, automated web-spraying turrets, simply by pasturing the creature.

You'd need to breed them, still. And the enemies would have to be in the water with it to get webbed.

What if you only add 1/7 water to the square? Would you still be able to get it to use the interaction?

Weird, but that's probably just your new creatures. In my version, I've only seen one "Nothing" so far, and that was fixed immediately.

No idea. Could you provide more context as to where you saw these?

It could be a creature/material named nothing or a creature missing its caste name.

I havent added anything yet, just downloaded the current version for some bug testing (kopouts turn)

If it helps, the only description is that they have black eyes. According to the combat logs they have back spikes.
I searched the files for spikes and to the best of my memory, I found dragons.

They only appeared in arena mode.

Perhaps they're some creature that was never fully implemented? Also, use "a" to assume form and then check for body parts using "z".

Forgot about doing that.

I'll check all the instances of nothing in case they're each seperate creatures
