Striking levels up attacks that use the grasp function(fists) kicking levels up attacks that use the stance function(feet) with the stinger I could either make it grasp or stance. I chose stance because with grasp it had the possibility of grabbing with the stinger.

Biting has it's own skill called biting. I heard legendary biters are awesome . Wrestling levels up grabbing,pinching,WWE wrestling moves, that sort of stuff.

hey. still working on the swarm we were talking about. it's almost ready, but someone should proofread this first. and should also write a better interaction, mine only causes blisters. so, parasitic larvae should now be a thing? what about the queen,then? we can't make her only give birth to them, and we most certainly can't make them a major caste, otherwise you'll find larvae mayors and such in legends mode. maybe we could make the queen spawn them through an interaction? it should work. again, however, how can you make a creature leave no corpse behind?

EDIT: Update!

- New building: Insect Hives: call wasp swarms using paper cement and meat. it also houses the reaction to make a queen, until we finalize their way of reproduction

-New pets: red wasp swarm: an easily obtainable, expendable swarm of tiny wasps which cause blisters to any non wasp standing near them. use them to distract your enemies, and don't worry about the casualties
giant worm: having twice the size of a camel, able to destroy buildings and with the regenerative abilities of a hydra, this beast means business. the wasps use it for everything, and it is their second pet that can be trained for war

As someone who looks at the wiki Raws regularly I know exactly how to do all of those things, unfortunately I have very little time right now so I can't write a large paragraph about how to do so.

I'll be back in 9 hours

don't worry about it,as soon as we decide how we do it,i will mod the interactions

EDIT: i just realized i misread your post. if you can do it yourself, go ahead. to be honest, i'm not entirely sure how to do it myself...

Are we still using the stinger I made because if so we need to nerf it badly since it can go through iron if I remember.

what stinger? when i took the raws there was no stinger in the wasps. i put the vanilla one, but it may pierce through iron too, for all i know. iron armor sucks in dwarf fortress...

Agreed.
It's actually not that hard to turn into steel, just bring 100 or so bituminious coal on embark (You may also want to embark on a volcano XD).
Seriously, coal is 3 dwarfbucks.

and when you play masterwork, you have so many options for decent armor you don't even have to have flux nearby... i play for over two years and i can't remember one occasion where i used iron as anything other than supplement for proper armor

Like in orc fortress. Those wolfram polehammers kick ass.

Anyway back on topic now, I was thinking an uncoated stinger should be able to go through bronze armour

not necessarily, but have you tested it? i uploaded heydude's chitins in the last update, so they might indeed pierce bronze. keep in mind, however, that we must keep them balanced...

testing now.

They still dont have access to pets

They don't have quivers
or leather
and they can't make hives

And they have the yellow NOTRADE on neighbors screen

and they cant use the wood pulper because that requires smooth logs

They need nest boxes to breed some animals

And the wagon bursts into fire upon embark... which happenned to only burn down about 1/10th of the total trees

...wow, i'll take a look at them in a while

EDIT: the entity file was missing many tokens about wood, fish, animal products, stone and metals. i fixed it, started an embark, and now i can choose any of them, plus my wagon wasn't on fire. the new download is on the usual link

as for the pets, put the LUA files in hack/scripts and let me know if you run into more problems

i fixed the wood pulper,and because i don't know what other reactions require smooth wood,i added the sawmill for the time being.they can now make hives and nest boxes,and what do you mean they have the yellow NOTRADE?

in the neighbors screen, they have a yellow NO TRADE next to the HIVEMIND WASPS

And the swarves just came and destroyed me. I only had one soldier in the 2 migrant waves the broodmother gave me. I assigned 9 other useless wasps and gave them the emu bone scale armour i made. It didnt go down well vs dwarven bismuth bronze

i don't know what went wrong, in my embark screen trading and not trading neighbors show up fine.

And the swarves just came and destroyed me. I only had one soldier in the 2 migrant waves the broodmother gave me. I assigned 9 other useless wasps and gave them the emu bone scale armour i made. It didnt go down well vs dwarven bismuth bronze

that makes sense. bronze beats bone, after all. the POP_RATIO of the warriors is way too small, only one in ten is a warrior, and dwarves always arrive early. please keep a list of the issues you note and scratch each issue that is solved.
