Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

What is wrong with this creature?

I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

Body
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Errorlog shows all body parts to have no tissue thickness.


Everything else should be vanilla.

Man, ninja'd by a potentially inebriated Lord Shonus. I was gonna say to burn it.

Two things - first, you apply two different bodies, once at the start, and once in the castes (and that has a typo it seems - HUNTERa rather than HUNTERA). Second, the bodies in the castes receive no tissues because they are defined after tissues have been applied to the body parts - that's the VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS body plan. Move the caste definitions up to where the first body definition is, and put the caste body definitions in there.

The creature now looks like this, and most of the errors are gone now. However, I'm still getting "HUNTER:ALPHA FEMALE:thumb, right hand, layer 1: Tissue NAIL was not found, using first tissue instead" messages for all fingers.

Move [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:NAIL:NAIL_TEMPLATE] before [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER:NAIL:FRONT], and add [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:NAIL:NAIL_TEMPLATE] after the USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE. That should do it.

Yeah, that's another pitfall - NAIL isn't part of the standard materials and tissues. Blame Toady.

Well, that cleared out the errors. Now I just need to make the attacks not be terribly weak (is that a contact area issue, or a weakness in the nail tissue?), and toughen the beast up a fair bit.

[ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER:X] is probably the easiest way to change the deadliness of a creature's natural attack.

I love this community. Somebody asks "hay guise how do i tame shark", and then everybody is like "why don't we fling sharks at things with complex mechanical devices?".
