Small question. Are golden mamaphints supposed to be able to learn skills? because I my first formic migrant wave came with a "Goldan Mamaphint Strand Extractor". Also, will he actually be able to extract strands? Or is he like those tiger people you can buy in vanilla, who can have medical skills but don't use them?
they are supposed to have [CAN_LEARN] as in real life Elephants are very smart and can be trained to do crazy things , also their trunk is a grasper so they can wrestle weapons away and level up in them it was meant as an Easter egg when you find one of you Mamaphant's has stolen an invaders sword and levels up in it. On the Strand extraction it would be nice if it could but i doubt it.
I believe the only labors pets can do is fishing and hunting.
too bad there is no way to train them
...
it should be mamaphints
Then I suggest the following fixes to mamaphints:
1. Name line and caste name line should read
golden mamaphint:golden mamaphints:golden mamaphint
2. Set natural skill: strand extraction to e.g. 10. (they will always be listed as strand extractors by civilian profession, note that they still don't do the job) This is for step 3
3. Set custom profession title: strand extractor: beast
So what this accomplishes is: mamaphints can gain skills, but they are always listed as "mamaphint beast", not e.g. "mamaphint woodcutter" or "mamaphint animal trainer", which is confusing because they can't do those jobs. Also it makes it more of an easter egg when they learn wrestling.
[NATURAL_SKILL:EXTRACT_STRAND:10] # grand master strand extractor, which overrides their other skill titles but not the skills
[PROFESSION_NAME:STRAND_EXTRACTOR:beast:beasts] # with the above, they are now always called beasts and not by identifiable civilian profession
