You have two body parts with the ID BIRRIN_NECK. You cannot have two body parts with the same ID. See if renaming one would work.

Right, now it has a body, but two new issues just appeared.
It starts winded, and ended up suffocating. It has lungs, so I've no idea why that would happen. And there's also some issue with the legs, because I've ended up with "Left upper leg, left upper leg" or something similar as a single body part. I ran into a similar issue in a previous mod when working with joints, but it fixed itself when I just gave it humanoid joints.

   [BP:UNK:upper neck:STP][CON:LNK][CATEGORY:NECK] -- Switch with Yellow
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:150]
   [BP:LNK:lower neck:STP][CON:UB][CATEGORY:NECK] -- Red should be below this
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:150]
   [BP:HD:head:STP][CON:UNK][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]

[BP:HD:head:STP][CON:UNK][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]

in your main body (the one possibly mentioned as dupe_ID by BlackFlyme) order of events are key.
You have the upper neck get made, which needs to connect to the lowerneck, BUT the lowerneck has not been defined yet so it's a "floating" or "detached" body part, then you create the lowerNeck (which connects to the UB just fine) then you define the Head which connects to the UNK (upper neck) which that part is detached. Now guess where the BRAIN goes? the HEAD, what is the status of the HEAD? floating next to the body. No Connection, no Brain control, Lungs fail. Suffocation.

EDIT:
I sound rude but not my intention, I just wanted to explain what was happening. I hope this is the issue and your creature will work fine now.

Thank you, that fixed the suffocation issue, and now it actually walks/runs around. However, I've still got bodyparts showing up with names like "Right hand, right lower arm, right upper arm". Any idea what could cause that?

The game is trying to tell you where that "Right hand" originates from because you have multiple instances of that BP being placed.
Look at HUMANOID_6ARMS to learn how to avoid that problem.

I think you also have 2 each of "[R/L] lower arm" as when they are placed you have 2 previous [R/L]UA.

Thank you, that worked. I'll also have to do a touch-up on one of my previous mods now that I know what caused the issue. Again, thanks a bunch!

Is there any way to modify the bonuses which are given to the corpses when reanimated?

You either turn off all evil biome behavior in custom worldgen and make your own custom regional interactions from scratch, or you patch your executable with some Python scripts.

Necromancers are defined separately, but are otherwise the same deal. Not immediately simple.

[ThatZommy]

Any way I could easily get a specific creature to spawn on every embark? I gave the creature the same pop and everything as badgers, since I run into them rather often, but I've only ever seen one spawn. I'm trying to make a zombie mod, so it's rather important that Zombies are common.

[BlackFlyme]

Ensuring that it has a population in every region would help. High starting populations, large variety of biomes to appear in, and the [UBIQUITOUS] tag to make sure it can appear in every region it can live in.

Just made a few worlds and embarked a few times, and still no natural zombies. I set up an interaction so that Zombyism will still be something to worry about, but I'd like for wandering zombies to be common as well. The original idea was to necessitate bunkers, and self-sufficient subterranean fortresses. Any other ideas?
My last resort would be to delete all of the common animals, like Dingoes, Badgers and Elephants, but I'd rather not have to delete creatures.

Here's the biome bit of my zombie, in case I've just been an idiot-

Raised the population quite a bit, just to be sure, but the original was around 10-20, I think.

What are the requirements for a weapon to be a possible mood item? Is defining it in the raws enough, or does it need to be used by some entity first?

[pastafriend]

Can I have multiple CAN_DO_INTERACTIONS in one secret? If so, how?

I think defining it in the raws is enough.

[ArKFallen]

If it doesn't have a frequency specified it'll use FREQUENCY:50 which will make it just as likely to appear as every other FREQUENCY:50 creature that can be there.

Can I have multiple CAN_DO_INTERACTIONS in one secret? If so, how?

Yes.
Have a second set of CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION after the first pointing to the other interaction you want the secret bearer to be able to use. IE

Thanks man, what if the second interaction is a material emission  (i.e. fireball thing)? Because just adding the CAN_DO_INTERACTION with a breath attack kind of screws with the other interaction.

Ah, that fixed it. Thank you.
