Adding [CON_CAT:xxxx] to all the vanilla parts I was using inexplicibly fixed it. Well okay! Thanks much!

Naturally, since I was working on another creature while I was waiting for this, I have another question.

This guy is not showing up in the arena, and as a result, presumably not spawning. All of the appearence factors are set up as they are because he's a historical figure and I'd like his appearence changing as little as possible, but if that's, for some reason, the issue, it can be waved off.

Thanks yet yet again! I just can't seem to get creatures right the first time around.

The game is super fussy about the actual filenames, too. I was pulling out my hair with creatures not finding anything about my custom body detail plans until I renamed "custom_detail_plan.txt" into "b_detail_plan_custom.txt".

Probably worth keeping an eye on capital letters and such too, then, thinking about it. Good to know!

Final question on creatures! Hopefully for a while because I'm beginning to feel like I'm getting the hang of this entire thing.

I've got a creature, and I want the skin on his upper body, lower body, and head to be all steel, along with his head (subject to change, but that's irrelevant, like a lot of little details I point out in these posts). However it's coughing up this at me.

Spoiler: error (click to show/hide)

So, the steel token is in the wrong place on the line, but where else would it go? And some auxilary questions, will changing the relative thickness in the creature file make the skin thicker, and as a result more durable, should he not be as durable as I want? I doubt it'll be an issue, but I'd like to know ahead of time so I can give you people some peace. :P

Spoiler: Creature (click to show/hide)

Thanks for hopefully the final time for a little bit! :D

EDIT: Metal tissue in the RAW now bolded because I forgot to do it the first time.

Figured it out, made all his skin steel, for anyone curious, change "TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:UPPERBODY:STEEL" to "TISSUE_LAYER:SKIN:STEEL", and erase the other lines. Not sure how to get localized steel skin on bodyparts but I'm pretty happy with this honestly.

There currently not really any way to fix/workaround the bug wherein a stack of x produces only a single y, right?

(In this case I was working on expanding the hair/wool textile industry, but it's kinda useless if I can only produce one thread from an indeterminate amount of wool.)

I use a workaround in which specific creatures give specific threads, which can not be used in the "spin wool from thread" reaction, instead I use my own reactions, with a specific amount of cloth created. For example shearing sheep gives "fleece thread", and spinning fleece thread gives 3 units of cloth.

Can the [MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:X:X] token be transmitted by syndromes? I want to make dragons blood impart high damage resistance on anyone it touches.

There once was a dwarf in a cave,
who many would consider brave.
With a head like a block
he went out for a sock,
his ass I won't bother to save.

Yes it can. Just add [CE_MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:MAT_MULT: MATERIAL :#:#] to the syndrome.

How is wood defined as a reagent for a custom reaction if I want any kind of wood to be used? Everything I've tried so far has just allowed the reaction to happen with no reagent and crashes the game afterward, I suspect because it tries to inherit its material from nothing. I am trying to make a splitting block to make 8 wood blocks from logs for construction purposes.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

What tags specifically effect what plants can grow (in a farm plot, not wild) in which biomes?

My plant changes have resulted, in the shrubland biome at the very least, only a couple of plants being growable period.

EDIT: For surface plants, to clarify, I know all underground plants are always growable anywhere anytime.
