You'd have to modify the vermin in question then, as reactions cannot to my knowledge interface with creature classes.

You could go into their raws, select their chitin material and add the reaction product/class information on the spot. If I understand correctly, the vermin item itself (live or dead) should be made of the outermost material, which should be chitin for most insects.

I would also be interested in seeing what you come up with, sometimes I get bored and want new mods too. I'm also lazy.

I want to make all vermin catchable by dwarves with the "catch live animal" task so I can catch the vermin that all my guineafowl create. So, I removed all examples of [VERMIN_NOTRAP] from the raws, started a new world and put my catcher dwarf in a locked room with my guineafowl. However, Urist McExterminator still will only catch rats and the like, never worms, lice or ticks.

Do I have to make any other changes to get the behavior I want?

Hmm.... first thing I would try is changing VERMIN_MICRO to a larger vermin type, maybe then hand-catching a rat-sized insect might succeed.
VERMIN_NOTRAP applies to baited gadget traps.

I checked Worms and they have no mention of VERMIN_MICRO as far as I can tell. Should I increase the worm body size to 300 (rat sized) then give that a try or would that not make a difference?

EDIT: Figured it out. The solution was really strange. I needed to remove [VERMIN_SOIL], and that was it, nothing else.

Will dwarves drink "drink" from non-alcoholic material? Will them have bad though like when drink water?

I don't know if dwarves will drink water from water buckets or water barrels. (except hospital & rest & bucket).

Vorox made a reaction to convert milk into a drinkable DRINK_MAT:

It seems good aside from one thing - it must be made from cow milk. Is it possible to just make the reaction use any milk?

EDIT:
Thanks again to everyone for their help. With some tweaking I managed to finalize the reaction. Since I think it's a question that keeps getting asked I'll just leave it here

this reaction takes 1 bucket full of milk and an empty barrel
returns 1 empty bucket and a barrel with 5 "drinks" (they work fine)

add this to the bottom of reaction_other.txt

I talk about item type "drink".

[Putnam]

DRINK items count as alcohol for all purposes but inebriation, yeah. Dwarves will drink them and will lose their alcohol dependence badness and get wants for drinking and all that.

So dwarves have no bad thought? Even if material of drink have no alcohol_plant or alcohol_creature?

[Putnam]

Yes

[brolol.404]

Is there a [CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION] or similiar syndrome/interaction to change an item or material to a different item or material?

[Putnam]

Nope.

Every interaction and syndrome effect are on the wiki pages for each.

Depends on what you want to do, but probably not.

You could turn a creature into something that instantly dies and leaves behind a [material/different item]. It's what I did for fruit wizards back when. But it sounds like you want to do it to inanimate objects, which is generally a no. 

Actually, just had a thought. What about a reaction that lets you say, pick up a rock in adventure mode and use your hands to turn it into an iron ingot or some other specific object? That's possible, isn't it? You couldn't change everything you touch to gold, but maybe it will work for your idea?

[Putnam]

Possible and easy, but not possible to get the AI to do it.

[EternalCaveDragon]

Alright, so, I tried running an experiment with a pan-regional resurrection effect to see if it applies during world gen. Initially this answer seems to be a no. But I'd like to post the code I used (which is based off of the evil region reanimation example interaction) to see if I made any errors. So here it is:

Code: [Select]

[OBJECT:INTERACTION]

This is a test interaction to see what happens when it is added into the mix for world generation. The intended goal
is for number of dead in world gen to be extremely low if not nonexistent due to deaths occurring which renders a
corpse unfit for resurrection.
