It looks like you should be able to get juice from them like you can get liquid fire from fire snakes or venom from phantom spiders or cave spiders in vanilla.

You capture a live one, then start an 'extract from dead animal' job at the butcher's workshop. No new reactions necessary.

Ah, okay! That makes sense. Thanks!

Sadly, not one of the creatures I've made is finished at the moment :-[. The body detail plans and the material and tissue templates are confusing me utterly. I could probably use a modified version of our various dragons' material and tissue templates for the dinosaurs, though.

Also, StLeibowitz, I believe "who" in the dragonbee's description should be "which".

Also fixed, thank you.

I may have found a tiny bug in the nylon plant, which has no other effect but preventing it from being stockpiled (EDIT: in a plant stockpile. Presumably, it would go in a thread pile, but there was no such thing when I noticed the issue):

[PLANT:NYLON_KPT]
   [NAME:nylon]
   [NAME_PLURAL:nylon plants]
   [ADJ:nylon]
   [FREQUENCY:100]
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURE:NYLON_THREAD_TEMPLATE_KPT]

changing the last line to

   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURE:PLANT_STRUCTURE_HLG]

makes the problem go away.

Has anyone actually added anything to the wikis in a while, or should we just strike them from the OP? It's been bugging me a while.

Also, @Kaladin: Minor typo in your creature description; that comma should be a period, to make the description read: "An ant made of pure topaz. They capture the souls of the dead and create statues from them." Otherwise, pretty cool! Any plans for what those souls will be useful for?

That wasn't exactly a typo, so it just doesn't fit perfectly with the others? I fixed it though.
Well, the souls were just already a gem, and I thought it would be cool... They are statues. You can place them.

Perhaps statues could be extractable directly from topaz ant hives, thus creating statues of random creatures and thus (seemingly) the souls of random dead :)

I'd like to contribute but this thread is kinda impenetrable?

Where do I go to get the latest release to work off of?

Or was the latest release really six months ago?

Github should be the most up-to-date, I believe.

But it has been quite a while since the last major release.

Yeah, we're trying to collect the various loose additions into a new release, but (in my case at least) exams are sort of a time eater. The last official release was, indeed, six months ago.

Okay so that is the latest release. When you say we do you mean everyone or just you and Hugo, by the way?

Github can make the adding and assembling of all those snippets much easier, but I don't see any pull requests ...

I'd suggest cloning the most recently updated version (looks to be BenLubar's version from the Network Graph) And start asking for people to start merging with a version you can moderate.

It's so much less work than sifting through the whole thread yourself and you can moderate everything that goes in so silly stuff that doesn't fit or looks horribly overpowered at a glance can be filtered out by you.

I'd look at what PJF has done with Masterwork: Studded with Patches as a example for a really efficent way to get more updates from everyone on this project.

Right now we're just trying to get all the recent submissions together, but if you have any ideas, by all means. We could both use some help.

I was curious if there was any plan to do something like this when the new version came out?
If there are it might be a good time to start discussing whether it will be free for all modding or if it will be more structured and how that would work. Not very good at modding, so I probably can't/wouldn't contribute but if it ended up being like this started out as I would be willing to do test plays.
Also maybe a good idea to discuss what to do with the content here and if it is being done in the new version what to keep, chuck, and not allow to be done again.
Really kind of hope someone is intending to keep this idea going.
