Well, that just means that the creature's fingers don't have any nails.

Also, should the fingers be connected directly to the lower arms, as opposed to the hands?

[Destroid]

Ok, I changed the fingers to attach to hands instead of lower arms, that removed the errors.  Although I can't see any way to actually tell how many fingers it has in game, I can only assume it's working correctly now, well spotted!

EDIT: Ok, found all the fingers in the grappling targeting menu, working as intended!

Is it possible to remove redundant items on a list, for example, dog leather, cat leather, elf leather etc. so that it only shows one type of leather?

If not, is there a workaround?

Yes; in fact, there are already mods that do that. See Meph's Masterwork mod, for example.

Okay, so. I want to mod plump helmet men to be buyable at embark, adoptable as pets, and have them able to breed, but retain the "Dwarves occasionally grab a live stray one and chow down" thing. Advice on doing this? Is it possible to mod in?

You can do all that, but dwarves will never "grab a live stray one and chow down".  Plump Helmet Men are actually inedible, because of the way butchering and corpse item edibility works, and eating a non-vermin live creature is something dwarves never do anyway.

Really? I could swear they'd do it in a couple earlier versions of the game.

I'm fairly certain it's never happened.  Dwarves eating plump helmet men - either live or dead - is a myth that's been around for a while.  It's something people claim happens, but is actually impossible due to the way butchering works and what dwarves will and won't eat.

I'm not sure if you should really have a 14x18 workshop ;>_>

it's meant to be a "super workshop" it's a bit op to just be able to amp up any skill you want. it's expensive and cumbersome to place.

Any idea how to change the names of creatures of a particular civ? Want my humans to have normal human names.

You'd have to change their language. Be warned that you'd have bridges named Bob and groups called The Joshuas of Ardents.

I'm having a serious problem with an entity refusing to use an ammo type that its supposed to.

I just cant figure out why its not working.

[Putnam]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWs_ELVEN]

Your entity file has ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS_ELVEN while the item is called ITEM_AMMO_ARROWs_ELVEN.

Caps count.

Wow, that is really hard to see on notepad.
Thanks for that. Sometimes it requires someone else to look at your code and see something you missed, thats why I put it up.

Two quick questions:

Is it possible to use water as a build mat ? I managed to add it, no errorlog, BUT the building cant be built, because apparently I have no water. (as in: I have water, but cant use it to built) Anyone knows a workaround or fix, using buckets full of water maybe ?

If a reaction has multiple labor skills, does it train every possible labor skill ?
Example: Making a cabinet trains masonry, since masonry is needed as labor skill. If I have a reaction that uses axe, spear and sword skill, would it train axe, spear and sword, OR only the one the worker uses for it ?

Ok, make it three:
Is it possible to make a material that freezes water when it comes in contact with it ? I tried a really cold stone, called dry ice, but the only thing that happens is that the watercovering on the stone itself freezes, not the actual liquid around it. Would be great for icetraps.

[Raptor_a22]

Second Question: You can have multiple labors attached to a reaction, but it will randomly choose only one, and thats what the dwarf gets exerience in.

[Trapezohedron]

@Meph's Third question:

I know for a fact that you can manipulate temperature to freeze or dry areas. Deon's Ice Mephits from Genesis freeze upon contact with water (and freeze that part of the pool too), and IIRC, their breath can freeze water (although if it isn't winter, then the frozen stuff melt immediately).

With that being said, I'm not sure how anyone's going to weaponize that.
