Is there a way to somehow edit/limit the list of tiles that game uses to draw unhidden engravings?

[Loam]

Could I make a "Mining Machine" creature that would be some kind of COMMON_DOMESTIC, have NATURAL_SKILL:MINING:12 or so, not be able to gain skill, and be able to work? I believe you need CAN_LEARN to have a non-citizen creature do work? Or is it possible at all?

[samanato]

There is the "construct-creature" thing in dfhack, which you can hook to a reaction.

Sorry, I meant would the creature be able to do mining work?

[BlackFlyme]

Non-citizens don't do mining work. They cannot take most jobs. I think they can still fish though.

To do work, the creature must be from the civ's main race. For example, humans can't do work in a dwarven fort.

My plant growths always show as the wilted plant icon rather than their proper growth print.  This happens with growths produced from reactions as well as embark-bought fruits (when dumped from the bag with DFHack), but not caravan-brought ones.  Is this a known bug, and if so, is there a way to make the items display properly?

Do NIGHT_CREATURE_HUNTER creatures appear in the legents? I am having difficulty finding if my world has any xenomorphs which work in arena normally.

I believe night_creature_hunters that also have large_roaming can end up being placed in their biomes, which would in turn result in some of them becoming historical figures as beasts (that was I believe the basis of a wrong bug report on my end). Otherwise, they either need the spouse converter tags or need to be the result of divine curses.

I was wondering if it is possible to get tissue layers re-named for a creature, kind of the same way you'd use a bodygloss.

So, the skin would be named 'derma' or the sinews could be renamed 'insidey bits', or w.e.  But the layer would still function in a standard body plan.

You can hack this using tissue layer color modifiers, specifically the TLCM_NOUN tag.  So, for example, a rocky creature could have its skin renamed as "rocky surface" in its description and combat logs.

My xenomorph is not a LARGE_ROAMING creature, it has spouse converted tag and converted case, however none of the legends exports have them in population infos... I am a bit confused why. I am pretty sure that setup used to work in 0.34.x.

Night creatures should appear. Does it have a lair?

My night creatures definitely work, so the only thing I can think of, as Deathsword has already asked, is that the xenomorphs might lack lair tags.

Sure. Just follow the example of sheep wool.

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_MATERIAL:HAIR]
[STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:wool]
[STATE_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:wool]


[SELECT_TISSUE:HAIR]
[TISSUE_NAME:wool:NP]

I was beating my head against the proverbial wall

This should make it seem less painful
