Does anyone know if it is possible for dwarves/whatever to get the Alchemist profession title? I've given the entity [PERMITTED_JOB:ALCHEMIST], but units with alchemy as their highest skill aren't listed as alchemists. They get whatever other skill they have.

You know, I've used it for years leaving alchemy reactions on repeat but dont recall seeing an alchemist either, it might be busted.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

How do you add stuff like markings and the like to a creature? I'm trying to make a creature with a face that's a different color than the rest of them or so, based vaguely on one of my races in Stellaris. Like I want to separate the face and the rest of the body in terms of colors.

For a different colored face you'd set the general skin color, then select the skin on the face or head to give its own color set.  Check out the colors in the dog definition for an example.
Code: [Select]
[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:HAIR]
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:BLACK:1:BROWN:1:WHITE:1:GRAY:1:LIGHT_BROWN:1] (shortened in example)
[TLCM_NOUN:head:SINGULAR]Unless your creature has fur, you'd be using skin instead of hair.  You could include a CATEGORY:FACE body part in the body definition or just color the head and use 'face' for the TLCM_NOUN.  The dog definition selects body and legs for the general hair color, but I believe you can just color everything as normal and then the followup color on a specific part will overrule it.

So, an example would be replacing HAIR with SKIN or something? It's been a long while since I've done some proper modding. ^^;

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

Wouldn’t that give you ”Its and black striped chitin is yellow/orange.”?

Maybe change it to "chitin is striped black and" which should print "his chitin is striped black and orange"

Hmm. I think you could make a custom material for that?

I don't recall if it will still put the creature name in front. Like if you gave it molten steel for blood, it might still be like "Dwarf Molten Steel". I know I've done this sort of thing but I can't recall how it displays.

You can use [PREFIX:NONE] under the [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:BLOOD_TEMPLATE] tag or any other material you're using for the blood. You can only use this in creature definitions though so unfortunately you can't make every blood without a prefix by giving it to the blood template. Same with creature/plant extracts, tears, sweat, hair, and almost any tissue including leather and parchment like the one used in cows.

If the blood is inside a body detail plan you can call it out with [SELECT_MATERIAL:BLOOD] and put the [PREFIX:NONE] under it.

Quick question? Will it cause any issues to have no positions or variable positions besides fortress mode utility positions?
With the few other positions that visit your fort in fort mode are elected instead, trying to make a little to no hierarchy civ but still be able to use the various management screens and make a milita, and don't particularly want to have all the generated positions as well.
Our current attempt seems to cause random world-gen crashes at about 30-60 years in, or sometimes randomly after that. We're unsure if it's becuase it's missing a required position (no lawmaker or something) or if that's as a result of us missing something in making these raws. Currently it's based on PLAINS and MOUNTIAN

Try making sure the precedence values are all unique, and maybe give the mayor law making responsibility.

And write in a fixed -5 to the merriment and leisure time values, the "too many fish" crash bug related to fishing+leisure time/merriment is still not fixed.

It doesn't look like there's actually anything wrong with the civ otherwise.

Or remove NO_EAT from your goblins. That should work too.
