Although, if you made sure that elephant fat lacked such tags as [ITEMS_HARD], it WOULD be unuseable. And if it's not stone (if it's soil, for instance), it won't appear in the economic stones menu. I know this from a bit of modding involving sand "boulders" and shaping them into stuff...

I never claimed that kobolds would ONLY eat vermin, just that they wouldn't mind if they had to.


An idea of how to solve the clothing-of-creatures-which-are-different-sizes-or-shapes-from-dwarves issue: Have a way to give cloth/leather to the various ethnic communities in your fortress, which any clothiers/leatherworkers will then turn into clothes as needed. Maybe similar things could be done with other raw materials, which you might be able to buy back from them as craft goods...hm...

Nope.

Try making it a soil with a [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:FAT_MAT:CREATURE_MAT:ELEPHANT:TALLOW], then add a reaction to turn the "elephant fat" into globs of its FAT_MAT. That way, if you want to add, I dunno, turtle fat or something, you'd have the basics set up.

1. I try to play more or less constantly, but in practice I play more sporadically. Recently, more because I've been working on my Savages' Stronghold mod.

2. Occasional succession/community games, when I don't have mods or RL things to work on; I also work on mods occasionally, like my current project, before releasing them to the public. I also read and write interesting stories.

3. Sometimes. My brother hates it (he's more of an FPS type, but I've occasionally convinced him to play a little...not that he ever has for more than a couple in-game weeks), and a few of my friends seem vaguely interested.

4. Yes, of course.

5. Not really.

6. Yep. I was working on an ongoing story called "Theft from a Tower," but it's fallen kinda by the wayside.

7. Usually positively, or by posts, depending on what exactly you mean.

8. Not really, except for some exceptions, like if I reclaim forts or try throwing more adventurers at a task. Of couse, I usually delete worlds partway through their first fortress.

9. Fantasy, sci-fi, science (especially biology), tabletop role-playing games, a couple other computer games, literature (especially classic sci-fi), and...those are the big ones.

You're welcome.

Oh, I almost forgot to post here. A giant werehedgehog dropped its werehedgehog-sized toad leather cloak when it turned back into a giant, and beat the crap out of the werehedgehog I spawned to double-check the cloak size. The giant started by kicking out all of the werehog's teeth. At once.

Jeez, a hunter that latches onto your soul and hunts you until you are dead...creepy. Does this only work with dwarves that like that kind of critter?

If, in emergencies, dwarves can subsist on nothing but rats and bugs, it would make sense that both kobolds and insectovorous-animalmen could survive on vermin. Maybe they'd eat roasts or raw meat, but they'd probably be fine with vermin. Unless they were doing most of the work and their dwarven overlords were eating like kings on the sweat of their backs...but that ties back to all of the social issues we were discussing earlier.

Alright, got the castes done. Ogre mages currently only heal, sorry about that, but I'll get to it in a few versions. Next I'm going to be adding in a few reacions to make wood mechanisms and stuff like that. Also, I'm getting the workshop creator thingy, so that the altars won't look like soapmakers' workshops any more.
