Probably. I don't know myself, and I don't have time to test, seeing as I'm testing a couple of other things right now.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

I probally might get around to it eventually. I'm more concered about what your findings are for [SPECFIC_FOOD] then making bones

[Kweri]

Pretty sure from earlier testing that trying to produce bones doesn't really work and caused crashes on top of that.

One workaround could be to create a new item (tool, toy, etc) and call it something like "chip" or "pile", then when you create one out of bone material it would be a "cat bone chip" or "cat bone pile".

Or depending what you want to do with the bones afterwards, just have a reaction that creates the final product out of your desired bone.

Damn, I was trying to figure out a workaround for making wooden armor for elves, since you can make bone armor, if you could swap the creature material and make "wood" bones you would craft wood armor

[Kweri]

I don't see why you can't assign the skeletal parts usually made of bone to a wooden material in the creature raws. The relevant parts -

   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]

Assign a new material and new tissue (either add it into STANDARD_MATERIALS and STANDARD_TISSUES or define it in the creature) and then call VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:YOUR_CUSTOM_TISSUE:CARTILAGE for it to use your wooden tissue where it would usually use bone.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

That would work, but... you would get (creature name) wood armor. What I was hoping to do was take a type of wood/log and make bones from it so "wood" armor could be made at the craftshop. Damn Elves no wonder nobody really likes them

Make a tree named bonewood. Make a reaction to make it into a metal called bone, with about near the same strength as bone, and use that. It's crude, but it's the only way I can think of right now.

He was asking of a way to make WOOD armor from the bones

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Then, make bones into a metal called bone metal, then make bonewood and use that for the reaction.

Ive come upon one thing, and to be honest, wasnt sure where to post this. Not sure if it happened to anyone else.
I decided to build on top of water, with floors for support and then wanted to destroy the support to make the construction sink... however, it simply floated. The first one was made of wood, so I thought.. perhaps...   but the second one was purely made of stone, and floated nevertheless. Is this normal?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

You might still have something connected to land or a wall that is fully supported, also I don't think this is a modding question

Or you might have turned off caveins in the d_init.
I suggest posting in here next time something like this comes up

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Ok issue has been resolved, It was because I had left creature_ off the .txt file now it works.

But another question, how do  make a reaction take only one portion of LIQUID_MISC? no matter what I use it takes all of the reagent

I have a question about eggs.

Can you have a civilisation race lay eggs ? e.g. say you want something like, I don't know, tortoisemen.
will the mother wander off from the nest box for food/drink? or will they stay put?

Suppose you want a weird race, with multiple castes, is it possible for one caste to have live young, and the other caste lay eggs? would the eggs hatch into any creature caste ?
