That's about growths - fruit. Pulling out the plant itself uses a different mechanism, I think the plant's principal material must be edible or yield some other products?

Question: Does anyone know if the bottom of the sea gets rendered at all? That is to say, if I modded in a playable aquatic race and embarked under the ocean, would there be anything there for them?

I suppose it must. There is a special "pelagic sediment" layer type that only occurs underneath the deep bits of an ocean.

Dunno about the embarking on an ocean part, though.

Would it be possible to have a plant be processable into native gold? Trying to do plants for a good/evil biome revamp.

Processable how? With a custom reaction? The "Process Plant" job used to make thread? The process-into-barrel thing used to make sweet pod syrup? Distillation into vials of something?

I don't think you can use the old hardcoded jobs to make anything other than THREAD or LIQUID_MISC items. Solid gold thread or a keg of liquid gold, sure, but actual stone...? You might be better off trying to make gold nuggets grow on trees.

Hey, boss. There's one small thing I'd like to point out.

Toady's naming convention for plant IDs doesn't actually use underscores. Having [PLANT:CAVE MOSS] renamed as [PLANT:CAVE_MOSS] is small, but it'd be enough to break compatibility if anyone, say, made a critter that could only graze on caveshrooms (like I did this afternoon).

Yeah, both are used at once. Given Toady's precedent, leaving out arguments wouldn't do. I suppose you could just leave a 100 for the percentage or a zero for the fixed increase.

Vomit is one of those extremely fixed substances, like water or magma or glass. You could try throwing [NONAUSEA] into the dwarf definition, maybe it still works.

This is more of a general question (as I have forgotten the answer), does DF read files in sub-folders in the raw/objects folder?

Nope!

Got a modding question (not related to anything new in 0.44 though). How do I make a creature produce colored wool? I tried changing their hair template to a custom colored hair template, but their yarn and cloth were still described as gray in-game. The errorlog made no mention of the creature or the template.. Is yarn color hard-coded or am I missing something?

Try adding [DISPLAY_COLOR:3:0:1] to the template.
