This is a Wanderer's Friend derivative that I've been mucking about with for quite a while. At least since after DF2012 was finalized. Figures that I'll finally get in the mood to upload this while we're waiting on another update. A copy of the readme file, with accompanying appendices, is included alongside the raw file. Appendices are on the wiki page for this mod, and in my third post here due to post length.

Thanks to Button for the idea first found in their Expanded Plants mod, of allowing plant growths to cite entire plants for adventurer harvesting.

Additional thanks to Flint for the suggestion of simple lockbows (first used in Kobold Kamp), to Jackie for working on unarmed weapons, ZM5 for idea of and advice on the spear-thrower, Kallin for idea of clubs, as well as GIR, Tippex, and others elsewhere for testing, ideas, and help.

Current version for .44.10, .44.11, and .44.12: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13732

Changes from .44.09: Just the usual for now.

Latest changes as of October 24, 2019: Small fix for footwrap recipes, which were creating socks instead.

Changelog is maintained in my next post due to post length.

To install this mod:
1. Create a backup of the Raw folder that DF has. Just in case.
2. Replace the unmodded Raw folder with the folder provided alongside this text file.
2a: Alternatively, if you want to use graphics packs, replace the Objects sub-folder, while leaving the Graphics sub-folder untouched.
3. Generate a new world and boom, happy adventuring.

Notable features of the mod:
1. A solution to the recurring inability to poison weapons, via making existing venoms obtainable and processable into something usable. What, a WF derivative that DOESN'T copy the useless "decorate item with frozen extract" reaction?
2. A way to render most generated beast extracts extractable, and modify the material properties of organic generated beasts. RCP edits are good for your health.
3. Joint tweaks galore. Most anything with limbs should be vulnerable to a good joint lock. Also? Neck snapping.

Important Pointers Before You Start:
1. Helves have been adapted into staves, and are used for adventure-mode weapon crafting in the same way helves are used for stone axes.
2. Most of the plants I've made pickable in adventurer mode are not in season all year round, just as the plants already exploitable in adventurer mode can only be picked in certain seasons.
3. Proper manly (or dwarvenly) adventurers don't use thread, cloth, bars, or sheets obtained from markets, keeps, or other worldgenned sources. Recipe bugs mean non-player-crafted versions will last for a crapload of uses.
4. Metalworking makes use of the carpenter's workshop for the time being, as no other workshop can be crafted in adventure mode.

Features:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fun Material Tweaks:
* Different tiers of materials. Look for a + or ++ in the material name. In addition to all semi-megabeasts and megabeasts, various select animals have improvements too. This includes tougher skin/leather, raw/tanned scales, bone, tooth, nail, horn, and hoof.
* Several stones have been buffed to not be vastly inferior to bone. Look for the material tier designation. Chert is second only to obsidian in sharpness.
* Scales and chitin can be tanned. Scales are more or less superior to leather, while chitin is better still. To avoid oddities like chitin flasks, only leather is usable in Fortress Mode and world-gen.
* The idea of making potions from megabeast and semi-megabeast hearts has been carried over, with some differences. Each type of beast's essence has a different effect, for you to experiment with (or be spoiled in the appendices). Not all of the beasts added to the mod have usable hearts.
* Found out how to tweak generated creatures to allow extracting from their hearts as well. If the creature has a valid poison, it should be extractable from their heart. If they DON'T have a valid poison, you'll instead get a fallback "failed extract" that has no use.

Creature Tweaks:
* Joint definitions have to moved to various body definitions instead of using the "humanoid joints" body token, allowing for things like quadrupeds and other abnormal creatures to have joints. Huge creatures generally are less vulnerable to joint-breaks though.
* Neck-snapping. While mundane damage to the upper spine doesn't always have any effect, putting a joint lock on it definately will. Unless the creature is stupidly huge.
* Venomous creatures yield a venom sac when butchered. Sadly there's still no way to apply poison to weapons and get it to work. Instead an alchemical reaction allows you to process the venom sac into a sample of venom, modified to act as a contact poison.
* Joint edits have been applied to generated creatures. Normal joints tend to be more common than breakable necks.
* Thread can be made from catgut. No, not just literal cat gut catgut. This proved simpler than adding harvestable sinews.
* Because DF2015 broke cannibal adventurers, intelligent semi-megabeasts/megabeasts are currently non-sentient. To make up for this, they gain natural skills.

New Creatures:
* At the suggestion of Jackie, messed around with making centaurs, and moreover made their body less of a "humanoid with 4 legs" thing used in vanilla. They show up in good biomes and can join civs. An evil critter, based on the kamaitachi, has also been added as another source of civ fodder for evil regions.
* A couple added mythical creatures were added to make up for making centaurs real. Also added descriptions and spheres, to make their use in art more interesting.
* Gargoyles as flying semi-megabeasts. They have a shell-like surface resembling stone instead of skin, making them biological creatures instead of yet another inorganic foe.
* Did you know that tree monsters were a planned feature early in the first releases of DF, that were then dummied out before being deleted entirely? Added my own attempt at treants. Tough but not at bronze-colossus levels. Its wood will make for effective blunt weapons, but poor edged weapons. Think twice before you try lighting one on fire!
* Two H.P. Lovecraft references via the mi-go and shoggoth. Mi-gos have a delightfully alien body structure, while shoggoths are acidic blobs. Hint: pulp all the things.
* Eternal things. Basically chitinous worms that can grow rather large given time, faster than dragons but not quite as huge.
* Manticores. Overgrown lions with bat wings and scorpion tails. All the Fun of both potion-yield megabeasts and venomous critters.
* Four lesser beasts that can form lairs, as a step down from semi-megabeasts. These act like night creature hunters, making lairs in various places. Dire wolves, dire bears, feral ogres, and lesser dragons are all based off of some existing creature in some way.

Plant Tweaks:
* First and foremost, wood can be picked from trees in the form of branches, instead of the "conjure wood from nothing using an axe" reaction from Wanderer's Friend. These are used mostly for consistancy, and to avoid dorf-like silliness where a whole log only yields a single tiny sewing needle.
* More plants can be picked in adventurer mode, with seasonal growths depending on the type. You can pick a couple of the berry-providing plants, thread-bearing plants, and extract-bearing plants.
* Dwarven syrup is simply delicious. Gnomeblight remains only useful for melting gnomes. Golden salve has been given medicinal properties. Muck root, whip vine, and sliver barb have been given situationally-useful extracts.
* Brewable plants can be made into delicious booze. If it isn't brewable by picking the plant itself (assuming it's in season), try brewing fruit instead.
* Bread is now a thing. The relevant plants can be ground into flour and used as such.
* Bamboo, cattails, and cloudberries have been given useful growths. This works in adventure mode, but due to the plants being grass they can't be picked in fort mode.

Civilization Tweaks:
* All of the main races are playable in Adventurer Mode, whether as civ members or as outsiders.
* All civilizations have been given access to large daggers. This is because the damn thing shows up in every adventurer's inventory, even though they're normally unavailable to most civilizations.
* Humans and goblins have been given slings and sewing needles, for the hell of it.
* Kobold civ was tweaked some. Gave them sewing needles, cloaks, socks, slings, blowguns, bucklers, needles, and nest boxes (makes sense, they lay eggs). Utterances tag as been supplemented, not replaced, with the ability to speak. Still allows gibberish names while fixing a few potentially-lingering AI bugs. Also gave them access to leather and a chieftain position, causing some (duty-bound, sadly) kobolds to spawn around the otherwise empty cave.
* Goblins need food and water, so remember that.
* Outsiders start of with wooden weaponry to encourage actually upgrading your gear.
* Underground animal people have been given a surface-dwelling equivalent, allowing for occasional instances of them being playable as entity members, instead of outsiders.

New Uses For Existing Items:
* As of .42.06, any sharp item can be used for carving wood, bone, etc. Not just daggers anymore.
* Mortars and pestles are used for plant processing and alchemy. A pair can be crafted from stone.
* A few reactions use blunt small rocks for hammering instead of just knapping.
* If you somehow get ahold of full logs, a battle axe can be used to split it into usable branches pieces.
* Stone axes have been changed to allow metal versions to show up in human and goblin sites.
* Helves have been given the same weapon uses as staves in older versions of this mod, and renamed to staves to reflect this.

New Items:
* Needles, required for sewing. In addition to wood you can carve them from bone, tooth, nail, hoof, or horn.
* Clubs, as a crude mace-equivalent as suggested by Kallin.
* Caesti and katars, unarmed weapons suggested and worked on by Jackie.
* Simple lockbows, originally implemented in Kobold Kamp as suggested by Flint.
* Spear-throwers and javelins, made with help from ZM5. Closer to actual hand-thrown javelins than the more realistic atlatl, but still allows use of a spear-thrower for gameplay reasons.
* Slings and sling stones. Slings are made from leather or cloth, use the throwing skill at range, and make rather weak lashing weapons. Sling stones are obviously crafted from stone. More forceful than throwing small rocks by hand, but not sharp.
* Gambesons, made from cloth. Obviously fragile unless using megabeast haircloth or silk.
* Cooking pots, for making certain items, most notably for brewing.
* Animal glue, which the recent combat changes have made useful.
* Eight raw-defined instruments that can be crafted, supplementing the generated instruments that can't be crafted in adventure mode.

Dismantling Items:
* Boulders and logs can be split into small rocks and pieces of wood, respectively.
* Crude cloth can be unraveled if needed.
* Cloth items can be cut apart for cloth, leather items can be cut apart, and metal items can be broken down for metal. Note that nothing's stopping you from being a lunatic and trying to dismantle the end result into itself, which will eventually waste it.

Bugs and Issues:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

* No gauntlets due to the gauntlet bug. The workaround I originally devised tends to break more things than it fixes.
* Just like whips, civs will generate metal slings because derp.
* No way to apply poison to weapons or ammo. Every mod I've seen uses the broken reaction from Wanderer's Friend. Crafting contact poison will have to suffice.
* The amount of usable leather, bone, etc can be increased by lopping off limbs. For bone, there are reaction bugs and balance issues behind why Adventurecraft has set crafting to consume full stacks, instead of vanilla's use of single units for a stack.
* Any plants you can pick in adventurer mode are nigh-infinite sources when they're in season. No amount of tweaking growth density has proven effective.
* Goblin and kobold adventurers will find their home to be an immense pain in the ass to leave, as dark forts and caves block fast travel even if the inhabitants are friendly.
* Nothing's stopping you from being a lunatic and trying to dismantle cloth, tanned hides, or metal bars. This will eventually waste it due to the odds not being 100%.
* Thread, cloth, bars, and sheets obtained from towns instead of player-made are a nigh-endless source of crafting material, due to reactions set to only produce and use product dimensions of 1.
* The addition of faked wood for outsider weapons adds an unusable material to the forge in fortress mode.

[Meph]

KurikAmudnil has written a script called autofixhandedness.lua which fixed custom made gauntlets and does not interfere with fort mode. If you want to have a look, it's in hack/scripts in the masterwork mod.

No way to apply poison to weapons or ammo. Every mod I've seen uses the broken reaction from Wanderer's Friend. Crafting contact poison will have to suffice.

SPATTER_ADD can add workable poisons to weapons, traps and ammos. No problem there.

Itemsyndrome can do the same for shields, clothing and armor, like rune-engravings or decorations of steel raising the armors durability.

[Max™]

Interesting take. I went more extreme with the materials part just flat out giving copper/iron/steel properties and stronger skin/scales to gobs/trolls/semimegas, rocs, and hydras/dragons. Made them heavy as hell too, gotta be really damn strong to run around in a full set of the stuff and it makes them flat out bastards to fight.

I'll look through it later more closely but I will say the one thing I think the WF mod was missing most was a way to use bone stacks more sensibly. Added a cleaned bone item and used those so you can have an item be 1 bone + x cleaned bones and so on. I just use gm-editor to fix the handedness, might grab the autofixhandedness later but I've got gm-editor on shift+d anyways.

EDIT: Changelog is now here due to post length.

Change Log:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*prior version changelogs not retained*

.42.06-1.0: First and foremost, the new crafting categories allowed for a massive overhaul of how the reactions are sorted. Bone and wood carving no longer demand a dagger, as any sharp item can be used in reactions now. Mucked about with thread and cloth. The "crude" thread/cloth are no longer needed, nor do we need scrap metal. Long swords added to weapon list. More options might come later on. Fixed the apparently-forgotten creature_tropical_new changes. Reworked the new bonecarving reactions Toady added, allowing the use of other carvables like shell or horn.
*changelogs in-between also not retained*
.42.06-1.99: Fixed mantises reference invalid material template, fixed giant brown recluse spiders having venom sacs in a non-existent body part, fixed gargoyles not having hoof tissue, fixed references to dummied-out body tokens, fixed invalid type of decoration, fixed gargoyle descriptor referencing skin instead of shell, changed where megabeast hearts are references to eliminate error log spam, fixed platypus men having venom sacs in a non-existent body part. And from now on, I'll know to check the fucking error log.

.43.01-1.0: The branch tool has been removed, thanks to Toady adding harvestable branch in vanilla now. Staves have been removed in favor of changing helves to behave in a similar manner. Making helves/staves now uses woodcraft skill instead of carpentry. Por que, Toady? Generic axes have been given METAL_WEAPON_MAT and added to human and goblin civs. Stone weapons have been changed to use sharp rocks for the heads, instead of knapping occurring in the reaction itself. Maces and other blunt stones still require it though. Crutches, shields, and bucklers have been removed from the adventure-mode carpentry menu due to Adventurecraft reactions for it. Splints WOULD be added to woodcrafting if they were useful.

43.02-1.0: Implemented Toady's fix of some right foot plurals, further implemented purges of worldgenned skull crafts that aren't totems.
43.02-1.1: Fixed some standard creatures referencing the wrong body detail plan, leading to supertough wildlife.
43.02-1.2: Changed wooden shields to use logs like the vanilla version (while still not needing the workshop), preemptively fixed the "training weapons are shields" bug, made the order of selection for reagents more consistent.
43.02-1.3: Made growths visible for any plants made harvestable in adventure mode, made various edible-raw plants harvestable, altered harvest times for a few plants.

43.03-1.0: None, I'd already pre-implemented Toady's fix of adventure-mode training weapons.
43.03-1.1: Subterranean animal people are once again playable as outsiders, size tweaks for said animal people.
43.03-1.2: Unfucked Toady's currently-unusable stone axes via adding a different version that works (via being a weapon, not a tool), made adventure-mode quires need thread (likely so scrolls aren't utterly pointless).
43.03-1.3: Tested making kobolds more excitement-seeking, to increase the odds of recruiting them, altered ranger captains and chieftains so elves and kobolds can start as hearthpeople, altered sheriffs to allow dwarven hearthpeople in hillocks, fixed duplicate reaction.

43.04-1.0: Reverted back to using stone axes as tools now that Toady fixed them, added reactions for repairing various items, added animal glue for certain things.
43.04-1.1: Fixed bugs using the wrong body detail plan, leading to mundane bugs with megabeast-tier chitin.
43.04-1.2: Massively changed megabeast-tier body materials to make armor of that material less vulnerable to damage from mundane wildlife.
43.04-1.3: Changed names of claw/talon/fang body materials to make sense, fixed birds having megabeast-tier talons.
43.04-1.4: Rebalanced treant wood to regain its intended role as a megabeast-tier material for clubs/staves.
43.04-1.5: Fixed a typo in some insects causing errorlogs, added skull goblets.
43.04-1.6: Changed population numbers of some rare animals, to alter diversity of wilderness.
43.04-1.65: Fixed skull goblets being in the wrong crafting category.
43.04-1.7: Altered mi-go anatomy to use arthopod terms, added a nuerological redundancy Altered outsider weapons and every adventurer's starting dagger to use wood. Added reaction for carving wooden daggers. changed hardtack to become inedible to carnivores.
43.04-1.8: Added reaction for making metal flasks, made stone items repairable, added fire breath to essence of draconic fury, fixed essence of draconic fury being frozen, fixed mi-go and gargoyle essences having prefixes.
43.04-1.9: Made gorlaks able to open doors. You've gotta be kidding me.

43.05-1.0: Implemented Toady's fixes of kobold agility, gorlak head size being wrong, and paper slurry stockpiling. Had already fixed gorlak door-opening in this mod. Made reagent order more consistent for stone/metal weapons.
43.05-1.1: Fixed wooden darts being arrows instead.
43.05-1.2: Fixed unraveling cloth into thread causing instant threadsplosion when using non-adventurer-made cloth.
43.05-1.3: Nerfed semi-beast body materials by reducing their tier. Now only true megabeasts yield megabeast-tier body materials. Added four new minor beasts that serve as night creature hunters, rather than megabeasts. Some of them have semi-tough body materials, others have normal materials. Also added a new, chitinous megabeast.
43.05-1.4: Fixed some underground animalmen not resizing as intended. Altered biome demands of lesser hunters to reduce ability for civilizations to harvest them, made loincloths craftable without sewing, added daggers to underground animal people, added a surface-dwelling variant of the underground animal-people.
43.05-1.5: Fixed typo in essence of draconic fury, added spitting to subterranean animal people, added visible indication of material tiers, some alteration of material templates, fixed some instances of talons not referred to as such by material name.
43.05-1.6: Fixed mid-tier scales being incorrectly described as top-tier.
43.05-1.7: Fixed leather sandals only being made one at a time, fixed stone scepter reaction not working.
43.05-1.8: Added gambesons, found in the cloth crafting category, added options to craft masks, made them compatible with helms, fixed cloth cap and hood recipes not working, added improved tiers of hair, altered properties of high-tier leather, changed reaction for bone arrows to use a stave and a CARVE_SMALL body part (same as with bone spears), belatedly changed stone axe reaction to use the tool version, (stone axes have been usable for woodcutting since 43.04).
43.05-1.9: Altered growth times for some flowering plants that are modded to be harvestable, changed trolls and ogres to be unintelligent (allowing use in crafting), implemented animal-people banditry, changed golden salve's medical effects.
43.05-1.91: Reduced massive durability of plant thread and silk gambesons, fixed rocs not having upgraded body materials, altered mid-tier leather/scale durability.
43.05-1.92: Altered plant growth times again to add a more consistent pattern, allow seeds to be obtained by brewing and milling in adventure mode, added list of modded plants to readme.
43.05-1.93: Altered eternal things to not be pulped in a few hits, corrected lack of attacks.
43.05-1.94: Further tweaked the durability of eternal things. Again.
43.05-1.95: Added options to craft wooden minecarts, metal minecarts, and metal crutches. Also made refined venom effects functional at an adventure mode time scale and without "vascular only" effects that only work if injected. Lastly, adjusted thread balancing for gambesons.
43.05-1.96: Altered durability of caps, gave eternal things teeth, altered eternal thing growth.
43.05-1.97: Fixed high-tier hair having the mid-tier descriptor.
43.05-1.98: Implemented several raw-defined instruments, 16 in total. All 12 hand-held ones can be crafted in adventure mode.
43.05-1.99: Fixed some instrument plural oddities, re-added generated instruments alongside raw-defined ones.
43.05-1.991: Fixed pan pipes and sistra recipe errors.
43.05-1.992: Fixed some instrument plural oddities, re-added generated instruments alongside raw-defined ones. Fixed pan pipes and sistra recipe errors. Fixed yet more recipe errors that escaped initial testing.
43.05-1.993: Altered balancing of whips, kicks, and crossbows. Added simple lockbows. Added recipes for crafting lockbows, crossbow bolts, and pikes. Halved the amount of instruments, making harps and bells portable. Made masks and caps compatible. Hopefully fixed excess of kill quests against random animal-person chieftains.
43.05-1.994: Reduced frequency of lesser monsters, added prone-to-rage to feral ogres and dire cave bears, added bloodsucking effect to lesser dragons for flavor, made dire wolves proper nocturnal hunters. Also altered where some of the lesser monsters show up.
43.05-1.995: Fixed incorrect plural of instrument strings in item description, fixed description of bells. Also gave animalman bandits ability to send ambush patrols.
43.05-1.996: Fixed certain quadrupeds and birds not having upper spines, fixed treants burning to death in mundane fire, made it possible to kill shoggoths again. Implemented an attempt to restricted crazy population of lesser beasts, thanks to GIR on Discord.
43.05-1.997: Made shoggoth eyes actually important via placement on tentacles and ability to remove extravision if you target enough of them, made shoggoth slime less immediately lethal from only one or two instances of contact. Drinking it will still fuck you over hard.
43.05-1.998: Implemented option to make short and long swords using bone, teeth (leiomano), etc. Added caestus and katar weapons, the first coded up by Jackie, the second being a composite of other weapon ideas they had. Also added them to some civilizations, though striking-focused adventurers won't spawn with them, sadly.
43.05-1.999: Discovered that LOCAL_BANDITRY breaks animalmen soldiers, even if you're one of them.
43.05-1.9991: Split off leather and metal caesti into separate items for easier balancing, gave refined venom proper ingested effects, overhauled crafting menu organization (shields are now organized by armor material). Metal recipes now require the carpenter's workshop, will gain a saner workshop if better options ever get added to construction menu. Added portable (yet somewhat heavy) makeshift forges for said forging, along with a few additional recipes here and there. Also added way to repair metal items.
43.05-1.9992: Added option to make metal instruments and instrument pieces, added options for metal strings and guitar bodies.
43.05-1.9993: Fixed metal repair not being a workshop reaction.
43.05-1.9994: Changed potion effects to make use of the "abrupt" property, fixed a typo, adjusted some potion effects.
43.05-1.9995: Fixed another typo, fixed dragons not having flying gaits, renamed some reaction categories for easier reading, made adventurer brewing recipes use waterskins and return less booze, added manticores. Manticores are Fun beasties providing additional sources of megabeast-tier leather, chitin, and hair. Also have venom and a heart extract.
43.05-1.9996: Fixed threshing plants into thread not working.
43.05-1.9997: Made a change to make low boots worth wearing instead of high boots if desired (which have same layering but cover lower legs), added a silly suggestion about carving skull masks. Made potions less prone to freezing in cold climates.
43.05-1.9998: Added recipes for bone/shell/etc goblets and wooden sandals, added option to dismantle any stone item (breaking boulders is more efficient), significant changes to recipe names for (hopefully) greater readability, slight nerf to whip recovery speed.
43.05-1.9999: Fixed migo talons having the wrong material, gave manticores a small smattering of natural skills, split bone weapons off from the misc. weapon category, split of wood and bone ranged weapons.
43.05-1.99991: Fixed wooden sandal recipe error, made underground animal civ neutral to adventurers, altered thickness of chitin for exoskeletal layering.
43.05-1.99992: Made it so that sliver barb is harvestable in autumn as well, made various useful surface plants more visually distnctive, added recipes for mail shirts and leggings.
43.05-1.99993: Changed makeshift forges to not use the same tile as mortars and pestles, changed orders of reactions so instrument submenus aren't shown after workshop-only submemus, altered balance of top-tier materials so they're reliably tougher than iron or bronze.
43.05-1.99994: Slight nerf to whip cooldown so that total time taken is same as vanilla, made the more effective buffed pommel strikes (long sword and two-handed) use 4/4 timing (implies use of Mordhau rather than a simple pommel bash), altered shear values of the higher-tier stone, marked said materials with a + as with higher-tier body materials.
43.05-1.99995: Rather belatedly fixed native platinum, gold, etc having enough max edge to be usable for fortress-mode stone weapons.
43.05-1.99996: Increased the size of amphibian men and the smaller ant men to be consistent with the other sized-up subterranean animal-people, shifted around some of the good-to-knap stones based on more google wizardry, made the less useful stones use the shear values used in vanilla, made the basic outsider weapons granite instead of oak.
43.05-1.99997: Mi-gos now don't die instantly if you pulp their ganglia. Instead you have to bleed them out of pulp their body parts, which the ganglia support (making it take more hits to pulp). Eternal things no longer die instantly if you pulp the ganglia. They also lose NOBREATHE, giving them an extra weakness as the ganglia now aid in breathing too. Made shoggoths more reliably weak against magma, in exchange for making them TRAPAVOID. Fixed shoggoth vocalizations not being variable as intended. Fixed shoggoth eyes suffering heat damage at a different temp and oozing nonexistent material in response.
43.05-1.99998: Waaay too long after I realized what might fix it, made it possible to kill shoggoths with blunt weapons.
43.05-1.99999: For flavor, added option to jab with sewing needles. Messed with balance of wood so that wooden darts are able to actually pierce skin. Fixed goblins have metal caesti when they're supposed to have knuckles. Made it possible to use scales for formerly leather-only reactions. Added spear-throwers and the javelins to go with them. Mostly thanks to ZM5. Tweaked crossbow bolt stats a little.

44.01 - 09 1.0: Added creature classes to the relevant mod-specific creatures.
44.01 - 09 1.1: Gave giant desert scorpions the poisonous creature class. Made crude flour the same size as handfuls of powder are supposed to be. Fixed some instrument description typos. Gave kobolds back USE_CAVE_ANIMALS to ensure reliable access to silk. Gave Resurfaced access to a smattering of animals based on what'd be similar to the normal cave critters they'd encounter. Nerfed maximum number of Resurfaced civs.
44.01 - 09 1.2: Fixed the hilariously stupid bug wherein you can't use a weapon for carving stuff if you nicknamed it.
44.01 - 09 1.3: Fixed an oddity in the material strength of mid-tier leather, added options to craft two-handed swords.
44.01 - 09 1.4: Removed the silly attack token from sewing needles, removed the not-actually-effective increased armorlevel from low boots, fixed plump helmet men being mute because they don't function well as adventurers, granted low-light vision to plump helmet men.
44.01 - 09 1.5: Altered growth rate of eternal things, removed an obsolete material, small updates to readme.
44.01 - 09 1.6: Gave elves access to brewing and some flavor reactions, made another attempt to alter rarity of the lesser beasts, made it more clear in fort mode that the outsider-only fake granite is only on the forge list due to a bug, fixed some fort-mode instrument reactions, fixed harps being stationary when they're meant to be smaller adventure-craftable instruments.
44.01 - 09 1.7: Added option to make bone or shell axes, battle axes, and great axes. Some small reaction name changes for more consistency and readability.
44.01 - 09 1.8: Reworked the default outsider material to wood instead of stone, changed staves from tools to weapons (allowing outsiders and elves to show up with them), added a small modifier to hardtack production.
44.01 - 09 1.9: Added a recipe to make wooden animal traps. Altered the wood and animals available to Resurfaced for flavor, as ZM5 suggested. Made blind cave ogres as usable for crafting as normal ogres. Changed staves so that they'll show up on outsiders.
44.01 - 09 1.91: Verified compatibility with 44.06. Heavily rebalanced alcohol and venom durations based on testing of DWF_STRETCH, so now booze and venom will act at a more consistent rate relative to fortress mode. Made plump helmet men slightly less prone to getting their shit kicked in (or rather, getting their shit kicked OFF).
44.01 - 09 1.92: Implemented Toady's fixes to raws, ensured compatibility with 44.07.
44.01 - 09 1.93: Allowed the use of shells for short swords, long swords, two-handed swords, and daggers.
44.01 - 09 1.94: Tweaked slings to be slightly better about generating damage through comparable armor (and potentially damaging the armor). Gave mythical creatures caste names (fixing a bug), descriptions, and spheres. Added two new mythical creatures, in exchange for making centaurs existent good-biome critters that can join civs. Made centaur-style bodies a bit less insane. Added sickle weasels, based on the kamaitachi. As with centaurs, they can end up joining civs in worldgen.
44.01 - 09 1.95: Added usable growths to all bamboo (branches), cattails (source of flour/thread/paper), and cloudberries (food/booze). Also reverted staves having a techically-edged attack. Interesting as it is allowing outsiders to spawn with them, that makes them count as cutting tools.
44.01 - 09 1.96: Fixed category description of leather clothing crafting, further worked on flavor for night-creature-tier monsters, altered average dwarven height versus broadness, made wagons fearless and emotionless.

44.10 1.0: Just the usual for now.
44.10 1.1: Made short-but-broad dwarfs less commonly referred to as smol, hopefully finally fixed the "Resurfaced assassination" issue, changed in-season cattail to use a more distinct tile, expanded the variety of features among Resurfaced slightly.
44.10 1.2: Allowed certain snakes and snake people to use their tails for grappling (both known constrictors plus serpent men), fixed waterskin name for tanned scale, allowed tanned scales to count as leather in general, re-added the option to make bone or shell shields.
44.10 1.3: Added descriptor stuff to the subterranean animal people, added NO_EAT and NO_DRINK to sickle weasels due to BLOODDRINKER messing with displaying those statuses.
44.10 1.4: Made hardtack from generic junk to actually give different names depending on the source flour, rebalanced recipe, added a comparable fort-mode reaction, changed some plant coloration for in-season growths.
44.10 1.5: Reworked strawberries, fisher berries, prickle berries, and sun berries to behave sanely, made pod-bearing plants work like rock nuts instead, converted abaca and banana trees into shrubs so they'd actually show up, fixed cave floaters and cave blobs having megabeast-tier skin.
44.10 1.6: Fixed plant-based potions not having updated DWF_STRETCH like other potions, poisons etc.
44.10 1.7: Variable value ranges for humans, based on old fixed values, also including knowledge. Fixed kobolds having mannerisms for hair. Added kobold-specific profession names and more varied coloration. Added caste-specific profession names to various sentients for flavor. Restored civilian use of non-metal caps, made metal/wood mask wearable as armor. Added footwraps. Added to kobold and Resurfaced clothing/armor.
44.10 1.8:  Rebalanced layering of masks and helms so that one can wear all three but can't double up on masks, applied flavor profession names to the Resurfaced species that don't use creature variation.
44.10 1.9: Added metalforging versions of all adventurer-carpentry reactions where a metal version makes sense, fixed skill menu in chargen referring to all characters as women (it now cites what gender is selected in the next menu).
44.10 1.91: Small fix for footwrap recipes, which were creating socks instead.

Ah. I should look into that, assuming it can be used with the raw files without requiring the user to run anything themselves?

The gauntlets are fixed automatically, the spatter-add is run through a reaction, so "poison your weapons" etc. But both require an install of dfhack.

* Failed extract. If a generated titan/demon/etc doesn't have a valid poison (or has poison blood instead), this will be the result. Does nothing.
* Shoggoth slime, readily obtained from shoggoths (obviously). Causes localized pain, blistering, bleeding, and necrosis. Drinking it is exactly as stupid an idea as you'd expect it to be.
* Cursed dragonblood, from sanguine dragons. Dangerous to drink, but has some minor situational benefits.

As for clean bone tools, thing is you can't get the stack size to translate reasonably into a reasonable number of faked clean bone tools. And if I recall, reactions demanding multiples of a given reagent are bugged.

Well, you can tweak how many it makes, I just went with two per bone, and have various reactions which need 1 bone (or skull, which I added to the templates because dammit I need to be able to wear a damn dragon skull helm after killing one of the flying intelligent steelboned bastards!) and between 1 and 3 cleaned bones along with some needing leather. It's not perfect but I prefer 1 bone+3 cleaned bones+1 leather for a big hunk of armor than 1 bone+1 leather or something.

[Random_Dragon]

Hmm. So wait, asking for multiple cleaned bone tools will work? Thing is, I'd prefer stack lunacy to requiring a mix of raw bone and cleaned bone.

Even then, there isn't an easy way to get raw bones to convert into a sensible number of clean bones, right? It's either eat the whole stack (so you haven't actually avoid that issue), or one dragon turns into a shitload of cleaned bones.

I am however curious how you make skulls usable for crafting, as I've tried and failed to make skulls cite a material to allow their use in reactions. Tellll meeee. owo

[Max™]

I added skulls to a template, it's the same material as the bones, it's just that the skull specifically uses the skull material and then I added the reaction class tag to the skulls.

The bones get produced from one bone to two cleaned atm with this:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:BONECARVING_ADV]
[NAME:separate bones]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[REAGENT:knife:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_KNIFE:NONE:NONE][PRESERVE_REAGENT]

[PRODUCT:100:1:HELM:ITEM_HELM_HELM:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:skull:NONE]
[SKILL:BONECARVE]
That works great for me, uses up bones enough that I frequently run out before I'm able to just spam masterworks until I get highly skilled, so I end up settling for a mix of quality levels with earlier stuff.

This in the spoiler is the dragonskull template, just point to it in the body detail plan, the material properties are the same as the dragonbones (more or less steel but a bit denser and much sharper as I recall, eliminates the glass-cannon dragon issue) just with the skull names and stuff in there.

Hmm. I could've sworn that just using a different template for skulls failed to work right, I'll have to try again. I'm still reluctant to copy that bone cleaning idea. What's stopping you from drowning in cleaned dragon bones?

EDIT: Okay, I think you're just fucking with me here. First, you didn't even put a reaction class in that material template. Second, I tested making a skull material template by copying the bone template and giving it a reaction_class, then changing the body detail plans to reference that material for skulls. Just as when I tried this last time, it didn't work.

EDIT 2: Though maybe I fucked up by forgetting to define a tissue template. Nope. Didn't work either.

[Max™]

No, they definitely work.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can make more or less cleaned bones, and I generally end up with a pile left over or wind up trying to decide what to use the last couple pieces on.

For skulls I added these references:

creature_standard points to the relevant skull tissue and material templates
DRAGON has: [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:DRAGONSCALE_MATERIALS
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SKULL:DRAGONSKULL_TEMPLATE]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:DRAGONSCALE_TISSUES]
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SKULL:SKULL_TEMPLATE]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKULL]
[REACTION_CLASS:SKULL]

b_detail_plan_default points to the skull material and tissue templates
 DRAGONSCALE_MATERIALS has: [ADD_MATERIAL:SKULL:DRAGONSKULL_TEMPLATE]
   
DRAGONSCALE_TISSUES has: [ADD_TISSUE:SKULL:SKULL_TEMPLATE]

material_template_default has [MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:DRAGONSKULL_TEMPLATE]

tissue_template_default has [TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SKULL_TEMPLATE]

[Random_Dragon]

Hmm. As I found from checking your mod on Guthib. I tested that and it still won't work. The reaction refuses to acknowledge the skull as a valid reagent no matter how I mess with it.

Are you using DFHack or something in all those lua files to make it work? Because right now I'm reluctant to believe this being doable through raw edits alone.

Also, again. A one-to-one ratio of raw bone to clean bone isn't really ideal, and taking multiple units of raw bone is bugged and has been bugged for as long as I can recall.

EDIT: Nope. Not even the clean bone idea works right. Cleaning bones consumes a full stack to produce one cleaned bone, ignoring stack size. I am getting very sick of this, because so far I've yet to see any evidence that your mod is doing what you claim it'll do.

EDIT 2: This time I went so far as to just copy-paste the raw files and test those. Now the bone-cleaning reactions works SLIGHTLY, but it still only takes 1 bone at a time. Meanwhile, your skull reaction is outright useless even after copying the full raws. Either you're using DFHack to make it work, the lua files are required (didn't find any evidence this is the case), or...

[Max™]

No, the only thing I need dfhack for is the gauntlet handedness. The skulls work without it.

You can't make the bone cleaning do anything but take one bone at a time, that's why I introduced it, so you can have something use 5 or 6 bones for something instead of 1 bone.

[Max™]

With it in place, kill a megabeast or goblin and butcher the corpse, there should be a skull item which can be used for the helm or war hammer reactions. You can createitem WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_HAMMER_WAR DRAGON:SKULL too and it will produce the right item. The scripts aren't necessary for it at all, they're just the toys or stuff I've worked on, the wanderlust folder is self contained. The creatures do require a world-gen to show up but I assume you did that.

[Random_Dragon]

I've been testing this in the arena, and it should be working there if it'll work at all. You're telling me it's supposed to work by just dumping the raw replacements in the raw folder, right?

Oh wait. I've been testing this on humans, let me try a goblin...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Nope. Not even. Gonna test this in adventure mode in a bit. By the way, I'd started testing this in adventure mode with a human and discovered a little extra dose of batshit insanity.
