Hi all

I have just finished sorting out the tissue template for the new civ creature I am working on, however I am having a bit of trouble understanding the guide a bit and need a tiny bit of clarification regarding a rather important feature.

The civ is using a copper strength equivalent version of Chitin for their outer most layer of tissue, however I am having some trouble understanding how to get that material to be the outer most layer.

I am fairly certain it has something to do with the following section:
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
How do I add or replace the outer most layer with [GRELKA_CHITIN_TISSUE]?

(Just a heads up, the tissue and the inorganic base material are working perfectly fine so I don't think they should need any modification)

Thanks in advance.

Grelka

Tell ya what, post your raws and we will have a look!

Use insert code, or if you are posting a bunch of raws use spoilers.

so replace Skin with your Chitin, I wonder if it's as easy as this:

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:GRELKA_CHITIN_TISSUE:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]

Body detail plans are just quick and easy ways to apply materials and tissues to a creature without doing it all by hand, also if you don't want them to have SKIN make sure you use REMOVE_TISSUE:SKIN and REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN to cleanse the unclean

GAITs use the Creature variation I believe, I use this method for ATTACKs as well in my mods.

[Grelka]

Thank you both for the rapid response to my question.

I will be posting the creature file as it currently stands below, note I am reverse engineering the [CREATURE:HUMAN] and [CREATURE:DWARF] files so there may be a few similarities to those files, those will be removed in due time.

You may want to take a look at the animal-men raws, especially for bug-men, and see how they do it.

Just done some reverse-engineering of said insect-men creatures, it appears to be "working".

The outer layer is now chitin, which is correct, however not the custom chitin in question, simply put the current chitin is not even any were near close to as durable as the chitin I have created and it will not identify as "grelkalan chitin" (see here):

Thanks for your patience.

UPDATE:

I have managed to get it working, a bit convoluted yes, but working.

Just so others who see this know how I got it working for future reference:

I added the custom tissue (grelkalan chitin) to a new custom b_detail_plan_grelka file, the material is now registering as the outer most material and it is working, however I now need to find a way to make it significantly more durable since it is fracturing way too easily.

[Dunamisdeos]

Increase the tissue thickness. I once made Colossus (Huaaaaaaa) from X-men and even though I input actual osmium into the game by using Wikipedia's info on its properties, it still shattered with a punch until I cranked up the thickness.

"I replaced my whole skeleton with diamond! And it's the strongest metal on earth ! How comes I keep getting fractures each time I walk down the stairs?"

Lol's aside, it is a good post and true. Hard materials are brittle and need to be much thicker than regular skin to be useful :3

Reasonably sure that's not technically true, at least saying "hard materials are brittle".

[Cathar]

It's mostly due to people mistaking hardness for general resistance of the material actually (if some point has to be taken from my stupid joke). Hardness is just the material resistance versus scratching, and tells nothing about the behavior of the material when faced with concussive blows or such. When I see minecraft having obsidian super tough or diamond being the best armor, im like "whaaaaat ? I can break those with my hands !"
