I'm certain this has all been covered before, but I'm just going to use up some noob points on a semi-lengthy post here. What are the absolute base requirements for an ENTITY or CREATURE to function?

1) What does an ENTITY need to generate in the world?
2) What does an ENTITY need to function as an Adventurer?
3) What does an ENTITY need to function as a playable Fortress?
4) What does a CREATURE need to function?
5) What does a CREATURE need to function as an ENTITY race?

I got the world to generate using:

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:DWARF]
[CIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[CREATURE:DWARF]
[START_BIOME:MOUNTAIN]
[BIOME_SUPPORT:MOUNTAIN:3]
[CIV_CONTROLLABLE] isn't even necessary, but I was generating with one ENTITY. So that's question one answered, I guess.

The problem with this was that when I added [ADVENTURE_TIER:1] and [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE], I couldn't play Adventure. Do races have to be more hardy and organized to play as an Adventurer? I know they don't actually need any weapon skills so that isn't the problem and I think I actually generated a world using these settings and got an Adventure option one time. Basically, the Adventure tags alone are not the only factor.

I haven't begun testing the questions beyond that, so any insights would be valuable. Really, any general modding advice would be helpful as I am trying to do a comprehensive mod and know basically nothing that cannot be attuned or read in the wiki. Thanks!

Hm. I suppose ANY creature will work, as long as you don't require it to actually spawn.
If you need it to spawn, you add biomes and population data. If you need it to be "tangible", you give it a body. If you want it to have an attack other than "push", you give it attacks. If you want it to have non-black color and non-invisible tile, and be named other than "Nothing", you give it a name, a tile, and a color. If you want to have any other special features, you add them from a rather humongous list of creature tags.
