can anybody help me? i know this wont be as interesting as other peoples questions but i need help. is the game hard coded so that magma forges and such only appear in build menu once i find magma pipes or can i disable it. i started next to a volcano and cant build magma forges, i tried df liquid and have not unlocked magma forges, i tried the df hellhole still no magma forges. can i mod magma forges or smelters to be seen in build menu from the start and if so how?

Was the volcano within your embark area? If so, you should have magma forges and such buildable from the get go. Using Hellhole or Liquids doesn't work because the game hasn't been told you've discovered magma yet. You might be able to do this by adding in a custom workshop or something, but I'm not sure.

thanks for the response i figured out how to get the forges with hellhole. problem now is i build my magma forge above it and yet it still tells me it has no power. i even did channels like this but still no luck. figured it out YES!!!

ok well am bored and i was thinkin of somthing to mod and my idea is to make an egyptian god mod (giant cow goddess anyone?) just because theres so much to add, but i dont have the time so am just thowing the idea out there heres a list of some gods if you want to try to mod this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pantheon i really wish i could do this but am too busy D:

EDIT even if you dont want try my idea you should look at the list it has some pretty neat ideas lol EDIT ok one more link just because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophis <- epic snake of doom
EDIT hmm thinking some more about and i thought it would be really hard to live 5 minutes in a world with these things so why not make the god Ra a playable charater?

Is it possible to mod a creature to get pregnant without a male? I have a female only creature (just testing) and it allways stays the only one in the world.

Once eggs are implemented, you may be able to.
Not certain about it, though.

Once their implemented you'll also be able to mod dwarves to hatch from eggs.

I hope it will work! That would be perfect!

And then another question. How do you make humans have a steel skin? (or other inorganic stuff) I've taken some things out of the material list (can't tell which, it's on the other pc) but I don't really think it works well (the creature still gets bruised and teared skin things.

Say I have a reaction that calls for a sword as one of the materials - Is there any way to get it to give you a choice of swords to use, like it gives you a choice of materials for building workshops?

I'm expecting that I'll have to treat enchanting a specific weapon the same way one tries to encrust a specific chest with gems..

Add this to them:
   [TISSUE:STEEL]
      [TISSUE_NAME:steel:steel]
      [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:STEEL]
      [MUSCULAR]
      [FUNCTIONAL]
      [STRUCTURAL]
      [RELATIVE_THICKNESS:3]
      [CONNECTS]
      [TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]

Does it matter where I put this?

As long as it is in the raw, it should work. Also, add this:
   [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:STEEL]

Is there any way to make different castes have different creature symbols?
