Help, my dragon civilization is not appearing.

The dragon creature has the BONECARN tag. This means it only eats meat and bones. In the current version, carnivore civilizations can not survive world gen because they can't farm for food. Try giving them NO_EAT or removing BONECARN and making sure their entity has farming tokens and allowed professions. If you're using them as bad guys, NO_EAT works fine, but if you're playing as them you can just give them farming and then not use it.

Note that I said not appearing in a world, not dying at worldgen.

Now it appears but i'm not happy with them being humanoids...

So I wanted to give honey and mead value in accordance with the effort put into producing them.

All I did was add MATERIAL_VALUE tags to honey and mead. I'm not sure it's enough to be worth the effort, but the actual question here is: is value-5 mead made from value-3 honey worth 5 or 15?

[stabbymcstabstab]

i think its just 5 not 15 could be wrong through but heres my question how do you use the natural skill tag? I keep getting errors on it and the wiki doesnt say how to use it.

[billybobfred]

Well, how are you using it now, and what errors are you getting?

[stabbymcstabstab]

im using it like this [NATURAL_SKILL:AXE:3] i just copyed this form my raws and the errors say GNOME:Unrecognized Creature Token: NATURAL_SKILL

[billybobfred]

That's strange. I'm using it the exact same way in one of my mods and I'm not getting an error.

Are you sure that you "keep" getting errors, as opposed to reading the same old error over again?

Just for kicks, change it to a non-military skill and see what happens.

[stabbymcstabstab]

no i cleared my error log  tome before i gen a new world but it wont stop i have it repeating over and over again for 4 minutes straight
im going to my corner

If its putrescent flesh decays quickly, perhaps you should give it an ITEMCORPSE:X tag, where X is a boulder of some evaporating substance, possibly with an inhaled syndrome that causes nausea.

Also you have an unnecessary apostrophe in the description.

Thanks! Grammar's never been my strongpoint... I'll fix it. If the apostrophe is the only thing wrong here, I'll consider this an enormous success.

It's a work in progress.

I'd like the "corpse" to only leave behind the wyrm's skin, and have that skin be an extremely tough form of leather, actually, but I haven't yet modded that in. I also might give this critter poisonous blood, but so far, if everything I do have looks like it works, I'm very pleased.

I was originally going to give it boiling blood, but I wasn't sure if that would make the critter explode... 

Does the attack make sense, by the way? That's the part I was least confident in.

"The hepatic wyrm envelops you in the right back tooth!"

So... sort of. It probably the best you can do without using an entire sentence (which you can do, by the way, so long as it doesn't contain a colon or a carriage return).

Interesting creature! There are only two things I can see that feel a bit off to me.

First, you never called [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EGG_MATERIALS] which you'll need to do in order for the creature to possess the default eggshell/egg white/egg yolk materials.

Second, you have them a baby until year 50 and child until year 250, but full size at year 2? That seems a bit odd to me!

NO_SKULL, NO_BONES, and similar tags can be found on things like Bronze Colossi. Use them to eliminate the undesired body parts from the corpse.

[SirHoneyBadger]

Well, I think I'll let it have a skull, but no other bones, and not to leave behind any meat, organs, fat, etc., although I was leaning towards the Small Corpse tag, as opposed to Not Butcherable (I may change my mind on that, though...). It's meant to be completely inedible/rots immediately after death.

As far as the tooth attack, the idea should be that the critter is slamming it's extremely fleshy face into it's enemy/victim, not actually biting, more like a giant "goring"/head-butting by a leech roughly the size of an apartment building, that simultaneously exsanguinates you. There could easily be a skull underneath all that flesh, though, giving the brain some added protection.
