Just use SCALE:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE. With scale, your horses won't need skin. This won't remove hooves, either, their tissue and material are added separately. For completeness's sake, add:
      [REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN]
      [REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER]

after [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS] and:
      [REMOVE_TISSUE:SKIN]
after [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES] .

Thanks a lot. I'll do that.

Excuse me just asking, is it possible for hunters to hunt with weapons that use the bowman skill rather than the crossbowman skill?

Excuse me just asking, is it possible for hunters to hunt with weapons that use the bowman skill rather than the crossbowman skill?

Yes, no problem.

[heydude6]

So what determines what enables a hunter to hunt with one weapon and not another weapon?

[smakemupagus]

The individual makes a decision based on preference and availability (of weapon ... they're not smart enough to know if ammo for their chosen weapon is on hand), as far as I know. 

[StagnantSoul]

Wait, so if I make tons of spears, hunters will use spears? I never use hunting though.

[smakemupagus]

No, they'll just choose from among ranged weapons, including modded ones.

[StagnantSoul]

Oh, okay.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

You could mod in ranged spears and spear throwers, which is the closest you'll get to using spears for hunting, but it'll still be ranged.

Does [IMMOLATE] burn stone or wooden objects the creature moves over? I want to make a phoenix, six winged, fireball and firejet breathing, land burning, flying terrors. I'm just wondering if [IMMOLATE] would make flames appear underground on stone. Say I'd caught a phoenix in a metal cage trap, and brought it inside, would it be setting fire to stuff?

[InsanityPrelude]

What went wrong with this reaction? My bone carver took a full stack of bones and produced 41 hives. (going from unskilled to adequate bone carver in the process, incidentally.)

Code: [Select]

I there any way to get merpeople to gen in the ocean at their 'sites' if you mod them to be able to?  Ive gotten several thousand merpeople in a civ, but they wont gen on the non-existent site locations.

Yeah IMMOLATE will burn "items" but maybe not workshop corners / pumps / doors / furniture(cages). One needs to experiment.
Beware of cave grass catching fire.

I'm trying to create a civ but demons keep overthrowing the monarchs, how do I prevent that from happening?

[scamtank]

Try restricting the king's position to accept only the creatures your civ consists of. I'm pretty sure that got my human kingdoms to stay in terrestrial hands.
