That's really weird. Wagons worshiping gods means that Toady must have purposefully given them the necessary code for that , which seems strange even for DF.

Okay, new problem. Why do all the raws have the phrase "$ID: randommishmashofnumbersandletters $" at the top? And if it's actually used for something, what mishmash should I use for my files?
EDIT: After the last update, I realized my raws were missing most of the rollspawn's internal organs, so I added them.
Do any more experienced modders see any errors? I also plan to use syndromes (which are released upon the destruction of crossarms), which, depending on whether the category prior to the syndrome was [CATEGORY:NOCROSSARMDAMAGE], [CATEGORY:SINGLECROSSARMJOINTDAMAGE], [CATEGORY:SINGLEPARTCROSSARMDAMAGE], etc., will change categories and remove or add specific alterations to the creatures attack capabilities and/or speed. Also, won't the current connections of the crossarms cause the corresponding joint and right part of the crossarm to fall off if the left part is severed?

You'll need to use interactions, not reactions.

My mistake, then. Gnorm, if necessary, I'd be willing to implement some more creations as a full modding turn, and test for bugs while I'm at it. All I ask is to be allowed to implement some of my more insane creature designs.

EDIT: I'm having a bit of trouble getting the mod to work. Where should I put the download's files? There's a part marked "raws", which should probably go where the normal raws for the game go, but when it comes such things as "data", "data_src" and "utils" I have no clue what I should do.
EDIT2: The finished body plan raws for my megabeast:

So, I've started work on making the Evil Bread creatures, but I've run into a bit of a snag; when I asked how to make the creature's corpse either transform a little while after death into bread (as a prepared meal) or come back to life, I was told that I would need to give the syndrome a 50% chance of using one of two reactions. The wiki, however, says that reactions have to be given a building and added to the appropriate civilization (of which there are neither in this case). So where should I put the reaction?

EDIT: Here's my start on the bodyplan raws for another creature I'm making for this mod, my signature megabeast:

[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:50]I'm still planning to add four tentacles, two per body, consisting out of six segments each, with the last three segments of tentacle having the [GRASP] tag. Apart from rearranging the code so the ones that others connect to come first, does anyone see any errors in this so far?

Agreed. It says something about Deathgate/Murdermachines daily life (i.e. that it is insane and horrifying).

Yuli has repeatedly caused massive damage to the fortress. In fact, I think he was responsible for one of Murdernmachines' deaths.

That happened once before, right?

Anyway, if that's really what happened, I think the explanation should be rather obvious. The save file All bow to Terry.

Sand is the remains of worn away socks. Sand grains in and of themselves are really tiny socks.

Fixed that for you.

Aquifer's are Armok's attempt to expand his godly repertoire into fields other than magma, so as to increase the number of his adherents that survive.

Why is the amount of clowns in a clown car so small? Half the standard population cap seems rather little for an event that is marked as "endgame" in the raws.
