I haven't tried modding before so I did something simple and made fireimps tameable, and now I have two of the critters captured and tamed. However, they're genderless and don't seem to breed. How would I need to change the raws so that they do, and will the ones in my save start breeding or will I need to start a new game?

remove [NO_GENDER]
and add [liTTERSIZE:n:u] where n is smaller then u, both are numbers of course. (I recommend maybe 2:3 or 1:2...depending on how fast you want them to breed)
They should breed after that.

The ones he has would likely still be genderless, though.  You can use DF companion to change their genders to male and female, if that doesn't feel too cheaty to you.

[liTTERSIZE:~:~] isn't necessary, but [CHILD:~] is.  LITTERSIZE determines the number of kids the creature will have per birth, with the number representing minimum and maximum values.  CHILD determines how long (in years) a creature needs to spend as a child before it becomes an adult.  It's the only age-related tag that is necessary for breeding. 

There is another tag, [BABY:~], which determines how long a creature has to spend as a helpless little baby before it can turn into a child.  It's recommended you only put this on creatures with a [GRASP] bodypart, otherwise you'll get some mothers going nuts because they can't pick their kid up (I think.  I've never actually tested it).

Adding a [Baby:] tag is probably not the best for the fire imps. On birth, won't the young'ns just drop to the center of the earth (magma pipe/volcano) or do they innately know to swim for survival?

This is all good info thanks guys.

Don't Fire Imps have [SWIM_INNATE]?

[Dude_Jebawe]

Fire Imps have [SWIM_INNATE] indeed.

First time poster, btw. Thought I'd make my entrance actually being helpful.

[daemoria]

I think the majority of first time posters have the predisposition to actually be helpful or useful in their first post. (I made a sound range/combat report filter request for mine)

I personally don't see what's wrong with new people joining B12 if they contribute new ideas. Oh and welcome.

But why in the name of Arnok's crusty underpants do you want the damn things breeding? This is going to apply to the wild ones too, you know.

Fire is a reason in and of itself.
