Okay, so, Spiders Everywhere had some breakthrough where smelting cows into worms was a possibility.  Is there any way to set it to use a building that isn't a smelter, and to make creatures that aren't vermin?

I'd really like to hitch up an alchemical lab to make patchwork animals out of thread, metal, meat, a totem and some extract.  Is this possible through extensive reactions and file tinkering, or is this just unavailable?

Finally, as a somewhat less title-derived question, is there any detriment to making a creature that attacks with its heart?  Say I create a giant that has [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTOKEN:HEART:beat:beats:1:6:BLUDGEON] in its junk, will this damage its own heart or will it just be a delightfully messed up creature?

No to the first, and I'm not sure but I'd assume so.

If you can already create creatures at the smelter then this should be mostly possible.

Should work, though I recall that there was some trouble with BYTOKEN in the past.  If that doesn't work BYTYPE:CIRCULATORY should work.

Huh, heinous bummer.  While having lovely little dwarven sins against nature is a very lucrative thought, not being able to set it to an alchemist's lab is a little bothersome.

try it though?

Don't reactions have the [SMELTER] tag in them? Is this just in case Toady lets us have reactions in other buildings?
