Okay, I am trying to add good old cobalt into metals and failing. The things I do:
1) Add up cobalt as metal in inorganic_metal;
2) Make cobaltite ore of cobalt;
3) Add up reaction "make cobaltite from cobalt";
4) And adding this custom reaction to entity_default.
What do I do wrong? Any obvious mistakes?
If you do step 2, you don't need 3 or 4. If you add an inorganic as the metal of an ore, the game automatically generates the reaction. Custom reactions for metals are really only needed if you want stuff like alloys.

Alright, so I'm having some stupid issues with a custom wizard creature I intend to use. It has quite a few natural skills, which show up in Arena mode. But, apparently, not in adventure mode. It's bizarre. They also have a list of all spheres and are supernatural. Some spheres correspond to secrets in Spellcrafts which can be learned supernaturally. But these secrets dont show up in the list of things you can use in-game in either arena or adventure mode. I havent found a wizard in legends, but the secrets themselves are gifted to worshippers of deities who then build towers like they used to, so that seems to be functioning.

Here's the raws for the wizard:

I'm not sure if the creature definition is just too long or what. Does anyone else have a clue WTF I dun did?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Yep, I'm having the same issue, though mine is more simplified.

This was my order:

1. Download 0.42.04 for Mac Intel.
2. Edit creature_standard.txt by adding [NATURAL_SKILL:SWIMMING:1] under dwarf, just like in scamtank's image. No other changes made.
3. Launch df.
4. Check dwarf in Arena Mode. Novice Swimming noted. All things go.
5. Generate new small world, or medium world.
6. Begin Adventure Mode.
7. Adding all stats into strength and crosswbow during dwarf character creation for this test run.
8. Check skills. No Novice Swimming.

So yeah, I think it's a bug.

What needs to be changed to make a civilization colonise a tundra? They have BIOME_SUPPORT set for it but they never seem to actually build anything there. I know it's possible, though, because I've seen it happen in mods before (admittedly, they weren't 42.x mods, but unless something's fundamentally changed about tundra biomes fairly recently, I don't see what should be different).

If I stick [CRAZED] on every creature during worldgen, that will make every civ at war with every other civ, right? I can take it off post-gen.

I'm not sure that actually works during worldgen. It's worth finding out, though.

Removing all but one skill and one sphere doesn't help my issue at all. I can only assume you're right that its a bug with the natural skills, and I'm guessing there's some bug mucking up the way supernatural learning works.

this might explain why some bug people that would be legendary climbers don't really have that skill up.

If a creature has the [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS] token, will those eggs actually hatch at some point?

Nope. For the creature to breed, you'll need to have some castes that are actually capable of breeding and not just crapping out gemstones and statues.

I wasn't entirely sure, because the wiki still phrases it as them "laying eggs" so I was wondering if I took to long to claim an item, if a tiny screaming child was going to explode from it.
Instead, it's more of the "goose that laid a golden egg" thing. That's good to know. Thanks!

Does that mean that natural skills don't work at all in Adventure mode? That sounds like a serious bug to me.

Just did a quick check of every Mac Intel iteration of 42.x with [NATURAL_SKILL:y:z] added in.

The NATURAL_SKILL will show in arena mode, but not in adventure mode.

When the bugtracker is back up I'll or whomever wants can post it.

EDIT: 1/4/2016. Added to Mantis.

Say, why do trees use structural plant templates as their basic mat, instead of wood templates? Does it make a difference?

What are the "sides" in worldgen? I remember there's four made of different combinations of [BABYSNATCHER] and [ITEM_THIEF], plus [UTTERANCES] and some others that are on their own.
