thetyler101, I deduce that you're looking at the genders in Dwarf Therapist, or something similar. This happens because, essentially, Therapist checks whether the caste has the assigned number for male, and then assumes that everything else is female, so the [MALE] caste, male earth ponies, is male in Therapist and such, but [MALE_PEGASUS] [MALE_UNICORN] and [MALE_ROYAL] are all displayed as female by utilities, but Dwarf Fortress itself recognises them being the correct gender because they have the [MALE] tag. I'll have to check buffalo, since none of their castes are named [MALE] or [FEMALE], they're all _SOMETHING.
As for civs not spreading out so much, I don't know what would cause that. I'll do some testing at some point and see what's what, if anyone has more information, please share. Are you using the current version? I changed the biomes and site permissions quite a bit, giving them a preference for cities so they can take advantage of farming.
Thanks, Artheon, great to hear people are enjoying it.
hitty40, you do know you can just spawn a whole bunch of ponies and a whole bunch of magma in arena, right? Much less effort, and you can set an ursa major pony on the survivors. Personally, I find it much more fun to embark on a savage tropical biome and try to fend of honey badger pegasi.
Found another small omission: red and golden apple slices are named correctly, but green apple slices are just "apple slices". I'll put it on the to do list for the next update rather do another update so soon, since it's not a critical issue like ent shearing was. Oh, and I managed to miss blind cave bear ponies, I'll have to include them. And carrots and celery. If I add more farming stuff, I'll probably end up making a special workshop for them. Both carrots and celery will need a reaction for turning the plants into stacks of leaves and roots, since carrot leaves/celery stalks and carrots/celeriac are both edible. Humans are a bit picky about carrot leaves, but I'm sure they taste nice lovely with some dog milk cheese and cat tallow.
How are people finding the ents? I'm thinking of expanding them, adding things like pear, orange and lemon ents, some rather more short-lived banana, plantain and ensete creatures, and some subterranean ents.
I'm probably going to rejig the dye system quite a bit, since it's silly to have things like a common plant producing purple dye, rather than making people mix blue and red together with a reaction. I won't take any of the new plants out, I'll just make them rarer and assign more valuable colours to them, or use them for making darker or lighter dyes.
