1. Because the sting injects POISON (which doesn't exist) instead of VENOM like the rest, so it's defaulting to fat I guess which is fascinating
2. You gotta put the tissue AFTER the horn is added to the body

[StagnantSoul]

1: (Facepalm) Ouch. Such a simple mistake.
2: I'll give it another try.

[BlackFlyme]

1: The material ID is VENOM, and the sting attack asks for a material ID of POISON. The other attacks look fine. The spitting interaction still uses regular spit though.

2: It looks like you removed skin from the creature and want to replace it with scales. However, the vertebrate tissue layers plan still asks for skin as its first argument. There's also no scale tissue, despite there being a scale material.

You also have body detail plans that assign tissues to parts in both the start and at the bottom of the creature definition, which could create redundant tissues.

I'm not quite certain how the horns could have been given flesh, as the vertebrate plan only assigns them horn and bone tissues.

Looks like they have claws on their toes, but not on their fingers.

Do you have anything in your errorlog about this creature?

[StagnantSoul]

No, shockingly. All my other modded creatures are pumping out tons of errorlog notes, like "BIRD_PHOENIX: Gastroliths seem to have correct format but could not find proper BPs in any caste, so not added" Odd, because I literally copy and pasted the Roc and added some fire breath and a six winged body thing.

[Dirst]

Hey, two problems here. Both for the same creature/s.

1: I made a creature have a stinging tail. I also made it have a syndrome. I made the sting attack inject the syndrome. Buuuut, nope. Instead, it squirts grease into the opponent. The bites inject venom like normal. Why does the sting just fill them with grease? Here's the raw section.

Why is there a BODY token right in the middle of the attacks?  That should probably be defined with the rest of the body so that it can get proper tissues.  As for the attack, the stinger is injecting POISON when the material you really have is VENOM.  The game seems to be defaulting to FAT for the unknown material, which is called grease in its liquid form.

Do any of you know how I can access the icon of a fortress's civilization to use in a reaction, so you could make a banner, or embroider it on cloaks for instance?

Is there any way to make creatures sterile in worldgen AND still generate sites?

Spoiler: GRASS and GRASS related (click to show/hide)

Q: Is it possible to mod a grass to behave like a plantable crop or harvestable shrub? Or the other way around?

I'm just wondering if the [GRASS] tag would interfere with planting or harvesting or if it other tags might prevent animals from grazing on it.

(BTW: I find it weird how many grass Crops like Longland Grass are not treated like grass that can be grazed. Even weirder is how some "grass"es like Cloudberry are not a type of grass at all. Cloudberry is actually a type of Raspberry; that is, a berry-producing bush.)

Nobody knows? 

Well, I tried adding the [GRASS], GRASS_TILES, and GRASS_COLORS tags to Longland Grass, Papyrus Sedge, and Pig Tails in vanilla 40.19. And I started a new world. The only errors I see in the error log are the usual "camp order missing parent -- army will camp forever". At least there's no other errors.

After generating several new worlds and trying several different embarks in Fortress Mode, I could not find any Longland Grass, Papyrus, or even Pig Tails.

Actually, on my first attempt I hadn't changed the Pig Tails and I did find some products made from Pig Tails. But, after I added those tags to Pig Tails, I never saw any or even any Pig Tail products available.

Based on that, it seems like I broke them.

Any thoughts? Maybe I could get by with just the [GRASS] tag, without GRASS_TILES or GRASS_COLORS? But I'd rather not have to edit and retest, generating lots of new worlds and embarks, trying to graze certain crops or crop certain grasses... if I can help it. Surely, someone is more knowledgeable on this that me.

You might be surprised how little interest people/modders have in [GRASS]'s functionality. Based on your own testing I find it likely that DF treats grass as in-accessible trees material-wise. Being a grass also changes how it generates in a world and I've never tried a multi-function plant (grass-crop, grass-tree, crop-tree). This leads to the following (likely relevant) questions.

Has anyone planted seeds from a (crop modded to be a) tree? Tried to gen a world having trees with seeds? What were the results (did crops grow properly, able to access the seeds, able to plant them, etc)?

[Sergarr]

Anyone tested attacks with high PREPARE:RECOVER rates? Are they interrupted by incoming attacks properly?

There is no GAS_TEMPLATE, unless you made one or are using a mod that has one Just noticed your edit. You also have a few regular brackets instead of square ones. You also did not start a syndrome definition before entering syndrome tokens. Plus there were no constraints on the syndrome, so it would have affected any creature in reach. You also may want to take out IS_STONE, if you do not want the material to appear in stockpiles.

I tried altering your inorganic a bit, but I don't know quite know how well it will work, as I have not tested it. It should only affect male dwarves, turning them female. It should boil at the same temperature water thaws at.

The only other problem I see is that your reaction has a product dimension for the stone, which is unnecessary for a boulder-type item.

[Godsnose]

Thanks! On the modding wiki it wasn't clearly stated where the brackets went, but thanks for clearing it up. I plan on adding additional castes, i used female just to test the waters

[Godsnose]

Updated files still not working. Dwarfs are bringing random stones to the workshop instead of the toy souls. and the workshop isn't producing anything.

I think it has something to do with using toys as reagents as they can be made out of any material, but i am not sure.
