Thanks guys!
And what's up with itemcorpse?
Is amethyst an actual rock? - EDIT: Never mind, I found out that it is a gem.

(Yes, this is a modified version of the creature called amethyst)

Anyone know if it is possible to create Magma through a reaction?

I don't think so. Only thing I could figure out how to make was water to go into barrels. (you couldn't irrigate with it.)

Another vote for no sticky... I would like an explanation if you're up for it... If it's a problem with the guide, I could try to make it better...

Alright, just a heads up, edited a post to contain majority of the tokens. Give it a looksee.

I know it's on the string dump thing, but I get tired of having to look that thing over for what I want... Think it being on here may just be easier for some people.

Your still missing some tokens, mostly the ones further down the list. Creature tokens, material definition tokens, enitity tokens, item definition tokens, etc...

Its nice having it in a more orderly structure like that though. Should help out newer modders.

Maybe you could group them according to what raw file they go in?

I'll probably get down to that eventually.

I wanted to just get some on here for starters and see what people thought.

I like the token lists! Much better division. I had difficulties with how the modding portion of  the wiki was arranged last time (though it got better towards the end), hopefully this will jump start others' efforts.

Question: setting aside reactions/workshops for now - does anyone know how radically different caste stuff can be? Can entirely different icons be used? (or even different colours?) How about the babies and children, can they change radically (grow wings! Leave the water and become amphibious! Gain buildingdestroyer! LOSE buildingdestroyer... etc) on adulthood? Basically, I have some ambitious ideas and want to know what is feasable.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Deon is your best bet, I'm using his Genesis mod and he has a lot of custom castes for dwarfs.

Got this at the top of my to-do list of creatures (that doesn't seem to be getting any shorter)

The number of tokens that are creature rather than caste specific is very small. 
Creatures handle
-the overall name,
-biome,
-whether the creature is considered fanciful/doesn't exist (for art),
-vermin information (so, no, Fault, sorry!... too much depends on that right now),
-whether groups hang together closely,
-whether it is mundane (from real Earth for age name purposes),
-population information including good/evil/savage,
-if it is equipment,
-sphere information (not sure how long that'll last, but there were annoyances),
-and that looks like it (they also have some general categories that have caste overrides,
like child names and speeches for adv mode).  Everything else, including body information, is held in the castes

Well, that's some good news Lancensis, thanks.

But dang:
-vermin information
-whether groups hang together closely,
-population information

Those were on my list of hopefully changeable.
As for this:
-if it is equipment,
what does that even mean? As in, if it's a wagon?

Hi there... back again. I'm still trying to mod the same creatures into the game. Both the creature and the entity were at the very top. It worked for a while, then I noticed I had an extra file named entity_aarocockra sitting around in the folder. I moved it, and now it won't work, no matter what I do.
The files are as follows:

Spoiler: Creature (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Entity (click to show/hide)

When I try putting them as separate files I put creature_aarocockra and entity_aarocockra (these are the file names as well) at the top, but this seems to  have the odd side effects of letting me play as a goblin in adventure mode.

First I'd like to say... GAH! so many creature modding questions >.< Looks like I really got to learn that stuff.

Anyways...

What if you put the entity listing in the entity_default?

@Lokii:

Take a look at what I did in Civilization Forge. Every creature/entity combination has their own files, so I know you don't need to put them into entity_default.

Did you have
[OBJECT:CREATURE]

and
[OBJECT:ENTITY]

in those files?
