Up until the version i have on my drive now they were all 500000urists. (dwarves are 60000) I think they were based off horses initially, and I never thought to change it, I did look into the sizes after ExOtto said everything was a pushover and realized that due to the relative sizes, all non-modded creatures were complete pushovers. I tweaked everything down quite a lot..

in the current version

Code: [Select]

Ponies and zebra 100000
griffons 125000,
diamond dogs between 65000 (digdog) and 150000 (bigdog)
changelings 75000 (drones) 125000 (soldiers) 150000 (breeder) 175000 queen
buffalo 400000

...I think we should make the equine races smaller because they're current size is kinda large.

Humans = 70000
Ponies =  100000
Alicorns = 250000

I tend to use this picture as a reference for size https://derpibooru.org/387884

Though if we were to make them that tiny they'd be super easy for all the beasts of the world to murder and in fortress mode you'd need to make have a well trained and well armed soldiers to defend ready at all times.
So maybe make them the size of dwarves?

Started the rework of the gem system, instead of "crystalizing" gems which is in the current version, I'll be using magic gems as part of items. I've also  cut down the amount of gem types dramatically.
Currently there are five gems, Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds, Amethysts and Diamonds, and they come in five different quality ranges, Faded, Dull, Normal, Shining and Illustrious.

Each gem type will grant different bonuses at different strengths, depending on item and gems used.

For instance, a silk cloak inlaid with two shining rubies and an illustrious diamond could grant [FIREIMMUNE]... tho this will require DFhack and the material syndrome plugin to work.

Much like your idea of removing the different leather types I also don't like the idea of removing all the different gem types.  I do like the idea of certain gems that have magic properties but I don't think that you should remove all the other gem types.

Also did you ever think of move the "crystalizing" ability to another race... such as crystal ponies?  (Actually crystal ponies would be excellent fit for that ability, along with one that allows them to make crystal blocks so that we can build cities out of crystals!)

Pheonix, do you still have that save? Any chance you can check what caste he is using Therapist?

Sadly no I don't still have save but if it pops up again I'll let you know.

Also that problem I mentioned with the entity names messing up was fixed by deleting language_words.txt

Two things
1. I had a pony with this is their description: ""His left eye's eye tissue is a hammer"  I think it wanted to say that his cutiemark is a hammer

2. Entity names are messing up

I'll probably make two sets, so that people can have meat in adventure mode if they so desire

Also for those crazy people who want to play a griffin fortress.

Will bonecarving moods still trigger if the relevant reaction is removed from the pony entity?

I don't know.  Testing may be required unless someone already has the answer.

[PRODUCT:100:1:CRAFTS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]

You need to use the name that you gave the particular reagent you are referencing, which in this case is "A"

That was just a typo in the forum post actually...  But you are right.  In the reaction I actually used in the raw I had everything correct and what I said in the previous post is still true.

[REACTION:MAKE_ICE_CRAFTS]
   [NAME:make ice crafts]
   [BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:NONE]
   [REAGENT:A:1:BOULDER:NONE:WATER:BUILDMAT]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:CRAFTS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:NONE]
   [SKILL:STONECRAFT]

This reaction will actually produce items of ice, though they aren't labeled as such for some reason.  So you'd just get an item without a material descriptor.
So it actually might be better to just make the reaction produce a product from a pseudo ice that just has the same properties of regular ice so that the items you make actually get the material description of being made of "ice".

And now it's apparently My Little Fortress.

Actually the full title is "My Little Fortress: Losing is Magic"
