Making another lizard, again with trademark 4 eyes, and I have a question. If a creature has castes, then only the caste versions will ever appear right?

(IE if basic creature called Anne, with castes Bob and Charlie, then only Bob and Charlie spawn?)

If I am interpreting what you've said correctly, then yes, Only Bob and Charlie would spawn, as Anne is more of a category binding the two castes to being the same creature, if that makes sense.

Yeah, that seems right!
I'm trying to figure out how to add the wold classes to my creatures, do you know how to do that?

EDIT: I think firebreathing has changed, I cant seem to find where it's added

"Wold classes"? Example please?

world classes, like 'woldly' and 'magic_weak' and stuff

Oh! Those are creature classes. [CREATURE_CLASS:_______]  They're used for syndrome and interaction targeting. Since this is a magic world, I'm going to be using those a lot.

New animal! Scraws!
-snip-

Just so you're aware, the reason Bearskie's creatures have CURIOUSBEAST_GUZZLER without brackets is because it's a temporary deactivation of it. If you want your creatures to have it, simply add the brackets around it.

Whoops! I thought that was a little bit strange.

[Bearskie]

Looks like I missed a flurry of creativity here. :3 You might want to add [STANCE] to your tail, since its being used to move around (otherwise your serpents will just crawl all over the place). Firebreathing is a material emission interaction now, with material fire flow. Nice additions.

[Urdothor]

Should magwharls move on land? Because that's terrifying.
Also, your civilizations don't seem very upset with each other, so over long periods, they just populate the everything... Definitely need to add in my aggressively expanding antagonist race.

[Bearskie]

They're perfectly [BENIGN] . Only way they might wander into your fort is through sheer dumb luck. Can't find a decent way to get them to stay in their habitat; best I could do was to give them minimum speed on land. Tinkering with the idea of making them explode in a burst of magma as soon as they're out of the magma sea.

Water trolls expand like lemmings, hunting matises just... sit there. I've got an upcoming fix that limits their expansion somewhat, but they're still very conquistadory for some reason.

[IMMOBILE_LAND]?

I know they do. I had a world with only water trolls genned as a civilization, and they covered every available fricking map square. The invaders shall soon cull their numbers though. And everything else.

[Bearskie]

^ only works with AQUATIC, i think.

v can't remove IMMOBILE, only certain tags can be added or removed through interactions.

[Urdothor]

Give them [IMMOBILE] and a reaction they use in magma to remove the tag for a period of time?

Edit: Also in the project pipeline(along with a dozen other ideas for this.) is alchemy/magic. May I add extra alchemy butcher drops to your creatures once I get it up and running?
