There's a way to lock down one of the moving parts: the attack variance. Strangle the target dummy unconscious (put 'em both on the same side for this) and every attack comes with ideal accuracy and perfect strike plane, every time.

It might require having to conduct the experiments with smaller, less effective weapons, but hey.

Back around where I live, this 1800s forge village threw its slag among the stones and gravel used to pack down roads. You can still find fist-sized chunks of the stuff lying around.

I wonder, could you just remove wagons from an entity with an [ANIMAL] token that forbids all roles? They're just COMMON_DOMESTIC things at heart, I don't see why you couldn't.

I dunno if that's enough. Might be easier to crib a trick from the humans and give your lizards the permission to figure out the positions themselves instead ([VARIABLE_POSITIONS:ALL], [SITE_VARIABLE_POSITIONS:ALL]). If that's still not doing it, we can safely rule those out.

I don't think so.

I gave my elves all the same common domestic animal access tags as humans and dwarves have, modified the wagon to be iron instead of wood, generated a new world and forced a caravan spawn: nope, dwarves still brought wagons, elves only pack animals. Anti-wagonism goes in lockstep with vegetable empathy, I guess.

A creature that's made of 1 meat, 15 meat, 6 meat, 6 meat, 4 meat and 4 meat yields 36 meat under a butcher's knife.

A creature that's made of 0.5 meat, 0.7 meat, 1 meat, 3 meat, 0.9 meat and 0.9 meat does not yield 7 meat, but only 4. The game checks each individual tissue chunk's volume separately and then either tosses it on the pile or discards it as insufficient. It doesn't tally fractional amounts together.

(I tried to make tiny animals like ducks give off usable quantities of flesh by making all of the different materials of innards be renamed muscle instead. I failed)

Can currency use materials other than metals?  Can I have a civilization that uses, say, coins made from a specific gemstone?

Sure seems like it. Doesn't seem like organic materials like wood are eligible, though.
