Do you use any of the neural network models anywhere in the game?

You know, it isn't much better with context preserved.Well sure, take it out of context and it sounds bad.certain undesirables need to be eliminated,
Dwarf Fortress Folks, where talk about eliminating undesirables is perfectly acceptable
Next time, the dwarves of Archcrystal complete the outer walls in hell and attack the remaining demons.Uhm... All the infinite number of them?
I can't picture in my head how it avoids items falling through the grates.Since when items fall through floor grates?
I can't actually see the caste names in fortress mode. So I can find a drone or a queen by checking if the game calls them "he" or "she" instead of "it", but I have no way of knowing if an ant is worker caste or soldier caste.There was something like [caste_profession_name] last time I've checked. Some mod with diverse caste system might hold examples of that. (The old genesis mod had that. Also, ponymods.)
How about a society where the females outnumber the males and the males are kept as pets.I don't think much has changed about that since the time of my signature thread. And no, gayness is the bane of animal breeding industry, so it's unlikely that they skip orientation check.
FOr the ants you could make it a rare caste, but then add a reaction that turns a normal ant into a queen ant to ensure that you don't end up without one, and then there's two options for getting them to succesfully breed, I'm not sure if one of them will work. So one option could be adding in a male caste with the [PET] token and maybe can't speak though I'm not sure if that's needed that you then just make sure is near the queen all the time and since they're unintelligent and/or a [PET] (still not sure which you'd need) they just breed whenever without requiring marriage.Yes, that's [PET] tag, I've once commenced tests on that. Was aiming for the antman civ mod as well. It didn't work out well. iirc there was some distinction between born [pet]s and bought ones. Now that we have the means of transforming creatures between castes, it might be more feasible. Though there might still be problems with personality and mandate list.
