FLIER is already bound to wings. AMPHIBIOUS is bound to lungs, or whatever is the BREATHE part, but there's no specific tag to tell that a part makes the creature breathe water.

[Exasperation]

We don't have to worry about Dwarf Lung Men taking over - their population is kept down by their natural enemies, the Tobacco Demons.

[Mike Mayday]

The latest dev note is beautiful!

Spore, eat your heart out! (and make a Spore-Heart-Man out of it for that matter).

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hm. You know, I hope Toady has overhauling itemcorpses somewhere in the plans for this as well. It seems to fit, at any rate. Hm, "bodypartcorpse" would solve the hydra issue - "[BPCORPSE:TYPE:HEAD:SKULL:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:HYDRA]". And open a pathway for modders - "[BPCORPSE:TOKEN:RHAND:ITEM_WEAPON_SSWORD:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]".

[Tormy]

No official genitalia as yet, although it'll be trivially easy to mod them in, as complex as you want. 

Oh man...this is going to be hillarious, especially if genitalias will have a SIZE tag.

What hydra issue? They have one head that has a skull that contains their brain, the rest of the heads just have nerve lumps to control that head and a cartilage (unusable for crafts) skull.

That's my explanation and I'm sticking to it. And modding it back in if I have to.

That's not really a solution though -- you'd have to add it to every single creature with a skull.  Considering that the skull is an actual body part now, perhaps the game can simply count the number of skulls instead.  Although that begs the question of why the body system currently ignores multiple heads to begin with.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Because it counts just the presence of a [HEAD], not the number of parts with it. And yes, you'd have to add it to every creature with a head. Then again, this is what defaults are for, like [STANDARD_CORPSE]. The syntax is for definition of special cases. If you chop a minotaur's horn off, it must not disappear, it should be present as an item, a trophy!

Ahem. And why does this main nerve center always happen to be the first and only head that the hydra ever gets chopped off?

Presumably, if horn is fixed, then chopping off _anything_'s horn(s) will leave it as an item, so that won't be a special case exactly.

[Kanil]

Can we now make pig tail sock puppets?

Or will we just be limited to "pig tail man"?

Also, cat skin.

[MMad]

Yeah, gender differentiation was already confirmed.  No official genitalia as yet, although it'll be trivially easy to mod them in, as complex as you want.  If you could link tissue sizes to emotional states as you can to attributes... well, down that road lies only despair, but it WOULD have legitimate uses, like pufferfish bloating themselves when frightened.

"Engraved here is an image of a dwarf and a *****. The dwarf is embracing the *****."

[Neonivek]

With you being able to TECHNICALLY apply gases and liquids as materials for the creature I wonder how long this puts us until we can have characters who are gases or liquids... Or at least until Blood is actually a seperate material.

"Engraved here is an image of a dwarf and a pair of  *******. The dwarf is embracing the *******."

 That should seem more dwarf-like. Although the first one would be more likely in engravings.

[Fourth Triad]

Ah... Now that df has materials for body parts and tissue layers it will surpass Armok 1 in everyway... I've waited over 2 years for this to happen, but now
Toady's done what I never thought he would, now it truly deserves the title of Armok 2!

[penguinofhonor]

So who is planning to mod in sweet pod syrup men?
