Mephansteras: did you generate a new world?  If not, the material indices are probably borked.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, it was a new world. I gen a *lot* of new worlds during all my mod tests, actually.

Weirdness.  Are you sure that the cave crab uses the CHITIN_MATERIALS body detail plan, rather than adding the chitin material manually?

I noticed something similar, with 'giant cave spider fatty leggings'.  I have a suspicion that it will be a very simple but arcane fix.

Are you sure it was GCS and not giant desert scorpion?  Because I just noticed that the GDS doesn't use the CHITIN_MATERIALS body detail plan.  I just submitted a bug report on that.

[Mephansteras]

Oh, that might be it. I think I copied the GDS to make the Cave Crab. I'll have to check.

[Footkerchief]

Also, check your error logs to see whether the game noticed that the MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT was referencing a LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT that didn't exist.

[Mephansteras]

No errors, but looking at a copy of my raws it looks like material template issue was the problem.

And my Xelics were flat out missing the chitin keywords, which I think is why it went down the the sinew template and tanned it (oddly).

Hopefully that's all fixed now. I'll have to gen a new world and test it out tonight.

[Footkerchief]

Okay, I submitted another report for the game silently picking another material from LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT when the referenced material doesn't exist.

Is it possible to somehow make it so that shell demands in strange moods would accept chitin?

I tried adding these to the chitin template in my raws (in the save folder)...
[SHELL]
[ITEMS_HARD]
[ITEMS_SCALED]

...but it doesn't work, my dwarf still cries for shells. Do I need to gen a new world, or something?

Did you mod the general raws, or the raws specific to the save?

[Jiri Petru]

In the save folder. Perhaps it has no effect on chitin I had lying about from earlier, and only affects freshly butchered bodyparts? 

[Lofn]

I -think- the shell moods require an actual shell bodypart.

Sorry, just thought I would throw this in here, as the title subject made me think of this creature.

'Cave Pangolin' armour for a kobold civilisation? Wouldn't that be cool?

... as you were ...

raise!! raise from the dead!! sorry for the necro 

I just wanted to confirm this, I added these 3 same tags, and the chittin I got lying around is not valid but the moment my butcher processed a body part and generated a new piece of chittin after modding the raws it works, now I'm making giant grasshoper chittin helms, crafts, leggins, gauntlets and decorations
