What's the creature token to make amethyst men playable, and where do I put it? I'm trying to play as an amethyst man, and possibly give them a sort of liquid amethyst core/blood/center so if they get cracked they can bleed, if it's even possible. Any help?

A quick look into gorlak creature reveals two tags:
   [LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]
   [LOCAL_POPS_PRODUCE_HEROES]

Perhaps try to add those to Amethyst man and generate a new world?

Make sure to add
   [CAN_LEARN][CAN_SPEAK]

Keep in mind that amethyst man is construct-like creature that has plenty of no_sleep, no_pain etc tags.
You will be missing a lot of features from adv mode.

As for blood you would have to add a new material, add cartilages etc etc. I am not sure if it is worth the trouble.

Hmm, that doesn't seem to work. I put it right below ELEMENTMAN_AMETHYST in the creature_next_underground .txt file, but I can't play as them in adv. mode. Do I have to put it in a different .txt?

Try to add also
   [EQUIPS]
tag and generate a new world.

If it won't help then I am afraid some other tag is blocking amethyst man from becoming playable creature.

Any of those might be responsible:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

   [NOPAIN][EXTRAVISION][NOBREATHE][NOSTUN][NONAUSEA][NOEMOTION]
      [NOTHOUGHT][NOEXERT]
   [NO_DIZZINESS]
   [NO_FEVERS]
   [BUILDINGDESTROYER:2]
   [LARGE_PREDATOR]
   [NO_DRINK][NO_EAT][NO_SLEEP]
   [NOT_LIVING]
   [NOFEAR]

However certain of those are being acquired by adventurer during a gameplay upon transformation into vampire for example.
[NoThought] looks especially suspicious.
Try to remove them one by one and see what happens - at some point it should become playable 
If it doesn't then I am afraid I can't help you

If you succeed let us know!

nah you need is [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE] to straight up get playable amethyst men
what probably happening is using the local pop hero tokens needs there to be a dwarf civ to accept a hostile angry being made out of crystal.
