downloaded you raws to have a look and better help and... wowneeds some work but hey it's your first mod so I can understand

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:SKIN]That description.
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:BLACK:1] --- color
[TLCM_NOUN:skin:SINGULAR] --- what it shows up in the creatures description
"the creatures skin is black"
And yes you can color certain castes: [CASTE_COLOR:fg:bg:brightness]
changes the color of its tile, but not the creatures description (color_modifiers)
such as:
[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:SKIN]
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:BLACK:1] --- color
[TLCM_NOUN:skin:SINGULAR] --- what it shows up in the creatures description
"the creatures skin is black"
IIRC, colors are fixed at creature level, and cannot be altered at caste level. Or so my outdated raw knowledge says.Curses... i'll just have to put them all on blue then... or maybe i could find a more "Universal" color that'd fit them all... though there's just 7 of them
You can find a part in the creature raws, [CREATURE_TILE:'d'][COLOR:7:0:0] for example, to control the symbol used to display the creature, and the color. If, for example, you want ALL slimes to have the same symbol but different colors for the castes. You leave the CREATURE_TILE part in the main entry, and delete COLOR from there. In each caste section put the COLOR part. Use the page from the wiki on color, http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Color , to figure out what to change the numbers to. Also, if you have colors set under TL_COLOR_MODIFIER for use in descriptions, use that page to set colors the game recognizes.I tried doing that, put the [CREATURE_TILE:'s'] up top and the [COLOR:?:0:?] under each Caste, they are still taking the bottom one's color though, so everyone is red...
[NO_EAT] and [NO_DRINK] will just make them not need any sustenance at all. Lock them in a rock room for 3 years and they'll stay alive. The breathing tags are the same way.I know that, what i was wondering was, If they don't have those tags they'd need to eat/breathe, but they don't have lungs/digestive tracks... Wouldn't that make them try to eat/breathe but then just keel over and die due to lack of organs?
You can produce soap actually, sunflower seeds can be squashed into oil which can be used to make soap!Oh... Derp, well now i'll have to wait for the next Caravan to show up... Maybe Then i can prevent half my ponies getting infections...
I'll give this a shot, see what happens.
JOIN THE ROCK.
We need it to grow this plant-thing more.
