Damn...
Well so much for be able to play as a meat eating civ...  or getting meat in adventure mode.
Welp I can live with that I guess, for now.


Also on changelings.
I was thinking since in the civ there will be multaple "queens" but only one appointed ruler...  should the ruler be called something other then queen or just give a diffrent name for the female cast other than queen...  like queenling or brood mother or something.  Cuz having more then one creature refered to as a queen in the civ and also haveing a noble possition called queen seems strange.

I've done specific design desicions that made sense for the mod I tried to make, It does not support adventure mode as there are 200 castes to choose between, and it does not support griffins as playable. You are ofcourse free to change either of these for your own install but I won't compromise on the goals of the mod to support something I am not including myself

I can respect that, and I will change what I need to... if you can tell me exactly how to removed the abilty to get tanable leathers and edible meat cuz I am at a loss for that.  Also why did you need to removed tanable leather and meat in the first place, couldn't you have just removed the tanner job from the pony civ, and I'm sure that if you give the pony race the herbavore tag they wouldn't eat meat anyway...
Sorry these are just my own thoughts on the matter.

Also as for adventure mode, it works perfectly (except for the no get meat thingy) when playing as any race. ...well as perfectly as the current version of DF can be in adventure mode.

(Sorry for any spelling errors but I just woke up)

About your changeling problem... The creature files (the version I have) are in capable of makeING more changeling do to no MALE cast.  The queen can't produce offspring without a male to fertilize her do to Dwarf Fortress' lack of asexual reproduction method.  The queen being the only actual defined gender, drones and soldiers being genderless, makes them incapable of producing any more changelings.

On that note, I have a question...
Since there are a lot of different versions of changelings in fanon, and the canon versions aren't that well defined, what version are you trying to make exactly?  As of right now it looks like the standard “queen is mother to the hive, all others don’t have a personality and are genderless” type, which of makes the massive hole in how does the queen get pregnant without a male.  In DF one could fix this by added the spouse converter tag and such, but I think that won’t work with a civ (Someone should test that).  The other way is to use a different style of changeling from the fanon (since the canon version is poorly described at best), or just add a male cast to the race.

Also I'd also like to put up my service as a play tester if need be.

For some reason my military won't put on horseshoes.
I had a nice set of adamantine horseshoes which I assigned to be worn by my captain of the guard and he wouldn't put them on.

Also, not sure if this is a bug, but crystal "horseshoes" when forged turn out to be greaves. At first I thought this was just a naming error but I looked at the raws and the values and tags for this item are diffrent then the standard horseshoes.  Is this intended?

When I butchered things, I got skin and other bits (No edible meat), but I couldn't tan the skin even when playing as a civ that should be able to.
I know it has something to do with the mod since I don't run into this problem in normal DF.

Any ideas as to what this one alicorn should represent?

Have a list: War, Life/Death, Nature/Earth, Harmony, Creation

Ok I ran the test and it failed
Even when playing as a non outside adventurer from a civ that allows eating meat I cannot get edible meat from a butchered animal.

Something is wrong with the mod or something causing butchering to not produce edible meat.
Though more testing may be required

I don't know about butchering the dingo.  Is it possible it was too small to give back butchering products?

I did tests in non-moded DF and I can get and eat meat.
Only in My Little Fortress do I run into the problem of butchering an animal and not getting edible meat from any animal.
