You are correct there is no THICKWEB. do they have a biome they spawn in I don't see one on them. Or are they a civ creature (intelligent spiders)
Also I noticed [BABY:0] I don't think 0 works, it will default, to 1 I believe, so BABY:1 would make more sense for the parser. Basically says they will be babies until they are 1 year old.

They got a civilization but I mostly use them in Adventure mode as an Outsider.

How do you strip out the creature names on creature materials? So if I want to have just generic "bone" across all creatures instead of having "crocodile bone" or "dwarf bone", how would I go about doing that?

EDIT:
reason why I ask for a biome is so they lay webs in the area (world gen more or less, Vermin WEBBERs just randomly spawn webs on their tile) this would test walking into a naturally occurring web will trap someone if [THICKWEB] is omitted

I've done some more experimenting.
Seems that the webs from a creature without THICKWEB can ensnare creatures but its effectiveness is limited to the creature's size. Animals like horses and cows break free sometimes before I can even make an attack. I reckon THICKWEBS basically increases (or removes) the size penalty on webs, making them extremely potent on creatures far larger than your normal size domestic animals.

What is responsible for the making of the necromancers enemies of civilization and the giving of the quests for them? The fact that they raise the dead, or some kind of token? If I create a new secret interaction, what not to do if I don't want my mages left the home and settled in the towers?

If you give them any sort of "animate corpse" spell that makes minions (resurrection spells dont count) thats what makes them head out, make towers and be hostile.

Can't understand what the problem is with this creature:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's not listed beings in the arena, and in the logs it says:

Sure it is. You just forgot the latter two parameters from the CASTE_NAME tags, so it shows up in the list as several "nothing":s towards the end of the A-section. Not sure why the theoretical, non-caste, genderless "arachnid" is in the list as its own entry, though, since antmen sure don't have that problem.

The geldables should work too, since it looks to be using the same body as a dwarf with the exact same modifier as a dwarf, meaning that it should put out the same zero errors as a dwarf would as well. Maybe there's something up with the wrong things getting defined first, I'm not troubleshooting that can of spiders.

Thanks for the tip, I fixed CASTE_NAME. However, when trying to add an arachnid to the arena the game crashes. In the logs all the same.

Make sure the bone material has [PREFIX:NONE]

Found my mistake: it was written [CASTE:ALL], but had [SELECT_CASTE:ALL]. And probably it is not necessary to declare the caste after they are selected. In addition, in the above code has not been assigned material of the web.

Tips for fixing the error with [BP_ADD_TYPE:GELDABLE] continue to take. If I remove this code, it will not prevent the arachnids to breed, by the way?

Aside from being able to learn and talk, what tags are necessary for a species to form a civilization ??? Because last I checked Giants can do both and yet build nothing...

Try removing the thing at the top called [CASTE:ALL]

How would one go about adding filterable traits (ie. in the job manager) to reagent items?  In this specific case, adding something like "Dye-producing" to the various dye plants.  I assume this has something to do with REACTION_CLASS..?

Edit: Figured it out.  Just needed to add a [REACTON_CLASS:Dye-producing] to the dye plant templates.  Wasn't showing up initially until I moved that tag from the end of the definitions to before any of their sub-definitions (ie. plant powder, seeds, etc).

Edit the Second: Oh, and you have to reference that REACTION_CLASS in some reaction, someplace, or it'll not show up.
