With all the new possibilities, I'm going to have to take up modding myself.  So many crazy ideas to try out.

Well not so "Random". Setting some rules must be in so the game dont crashes everytime. As soon as toady hands out the new raws, i can look into it a bit further into the issue.

Why i dint made an programm yet? Well the possibilities for creaturegeneration werent detailed enought for my taste. The genned creatures would have been to similar.

(edit:) BTW: I have saved up some money for my Chrismas donation. Can i send them per mail or would it be better if i change the money into dollars before.

Toady you have more then my respect for DF. Its one of the best games i have seen in the last years.

Wait... EYEBROWS? I'm simultaneously frightened and in awe at the amount of detail that Toady's putting into the new body data. Modding is going to take forever... but I suppose it'll be worth it for moments like Urist McCharred getting angry about having his left eyebrow burned off by a fire imp.

Yeah. I'm both looking forward to and dreading the next release. So much potential, but so much work I'll have to do to get my mod working again.

You bite the Elf in the blond left eyebrow!
It is mangled!
You latch on firmly!
You shake the Elf around by the blond left eyebrow!
The Elf loses hold of the *feather tree eyebrow stud*.
The blond left eyebrow is ripped away and remains in your grip!
The Elf gives in to pain.
...
No.  That's disgusting.
...
You eat the Covema Aterafidale's blond left eyebrow.

I am not worried about that. Thankfully we can rely on the "flood the room!" method to fulfill mandates like those.  ;D

I can not wait for the new creature raws.  Serious building-stuff power.  Who else wants to make creatures with all their organs hanging on the outside?  Time to resurrect one of my favorite quotes-
As soon as you realize where the tags are and what they do it's a short, bloody trip from Dwarf Fortress: Slaves to Armok to Dwarf Scientist: That which Armok did not intend

Also, the devlog suggests that different states of the same creature type will now use different symbols.  I sense confusion coming.

I started doing so, but put it on hold because it was all going to be changed.

This was mainly for the Antman...  Queen type stuff, where I might use a capital A or something.

That was the exact clarification I was hoping to here.
