You're not removing the TISSUE bone from the body plans - just altering it to use a different material. Since you never add the bone material to cats or dragons, you can never have cat or dragon bones (or preferences for them, woot!) - just your generic "animal bone". And your cats and dragons still have a bone material for their bone tissues, it's just a material that belongs to another creature (the dummy creature).

I went through and started doing this for all materials for all creatures but stopped after the first few creature files. On the one hand it would be nice to not have mandates for squirrel tooth items, for example ("animal tooth" gives so many more possibilities!), but part of the fun is getting such absurd requests.

Still, if you release this when you're done (as I see you have the leather modifications) I'll probably give it a shot. Sometimes simplification is relaxing and lets you focus on other aspects of the game more fully.

Yeah. I wrote a Ruby script that automatically parses the RAW folder and edits the creatures to have different body plans. The idea is for all 1x Mult creatures to have one thing, all 2x Mult creatures to have a separate thing, etc.

And it runs in under 5 seconds on my computer. Bam! 322 creatures edited. (Well, slightly less, but I digress) Anyway, I'm having trouble getting it to work for bones. Would you care overmuch if we continued this discussion via PMs? Having trouble getting the bone to work properly, and I think I could use a second set of eyes.

Unless I'm mistaken, you shouldn't need to edit creatures individually, and you can just change the TISSUE_MATERIAL tag in the default [TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BONE_TEMPLATE] to refer to CREATURE_MAT:DUMMY_CREATURE:BONE (or whatever your dummy creature is called) rather than LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BONE.

Now, if you want multiple different 'levels' of bone material based on the material value, you'll need to create a second tissue template for the other level of bone, and simply update the creature raws that should be referring to that one by either applying a different body detail plan, or by modifying the tissue material immediately after the tissue body detail plan is specified, e.g. [SELECT_TISSUE:BONE][TISSUE_MATERIAL:CREATURE_MAT:DUMMY_CREATURE:BONE_LEVEL2] immediately after [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES] - assuming you've defined a BONE_LEVEL2 creature mat on the dummy creature.  I think this method should still produce only one creature bone entry, since both materials would be coming from the same creature?

And also for weapon materials is the only thing that influences it's ability to cut well it's [MAX_EDGE:X] tag?

Not at all. In fact, pretty much every metal available has the same MAX_EDGE. What does effect it is shear strength and all kinds of things. Compare copper to steel and steel to adamantine to see better.

I wonder..

Is it possible to make giant termites (No, I'm not actually making them) that eat only wood using the SPECIFIC_FOOD token?

I'm pretty sure that SPECIFIC_FOOD only applies to grazers, and grazers only eat grass.  So no, I don't think it's possible to do this.

I was wondering, would it be possible to mod in 2 handed weapons just for dwarfs? i like the idea of say, having a dwarven great axe, which would be 2 handed but more powerful than a battle axe.

I added in slings (and sling bullets) however, enemies spawned with them don't carry many, do i need to play around with quivers or something?

So what would be the most reliable way to make a weapon better for cutting, And I though shear strength impacted how good it was at protecting from cutting weapons, or does it do that and its cutting power?

Easy. Edit the weapon the RAWS. Give a weapon a two-handed size that's just the smallest bit smaller than all dwarves, and an "unusable" size that's just the smallest bit bigger than the biggest dwarf.

like this? ( i believe dwarfs are size 60,000?)

I think minimum size should be smaller than the two-handed size.  I believe creatures can only use weapons if they are larger than the minimum size, and will wield them in two hands if they can use them and are smaller than the two-handed size.

Blowgunners automatically spawn carrying little ammo, so if you're slings use the blowgun skill, that's what causing the problem.

the MALE_GRETCHIN and FEMALE_GRETCHIN castes don't have bodies (No BODY tag).  That might cause a crash on placing one.

[Fallen Flame]

Is it nessescary for a creature to have a bodypart with [stance]. Would it be possinle to create a flying creature with no arms or legs? How would this work?

[veok]

Is it possible to change which list of words the names of worlds (During world-gen, e.g. The Oracular Realms; The Land of Enchanting) are drawn from, or is that functionality hard-coded?
