Yeah, it does not work, it says not found: human_body_special.png Someoen with a lot fo free time, someone who was born inot money and does not have to work fora living, some Northern American or Western European silverspoon could update this mod, thanks.

Really neat idea, sadly doesn't seem to work anymore. Throws an exception on data loading.

After some additional testing, adding [CHILD:0] to the TERM_RACE raw, then forcing an update by manually changing the mod version, they now grow up when they turn 1, fixing the problem. I don't believe it will be possible to have an egg hatch into an adult, but i'm no expert.

And make sure you pay attention to your females, and don't put them in your military, unless you want to collapse your population. Getting your termidors to reproduce is surprisingly difficult since they haven't got much time to form bonds, and get married. Can we make them hornier? haha

Are these going to be like the Wasps of Masterwork DF? PLEASE make it so

This mod still works great, HOWEVER
There's a small problem with the RAW for the termidor race, it's missing a CHILD tag
what this means, is that children never grow up. They hatch into children, and then live for 5-8 years without growing up.

Regardless, thanks for the amazing mod, this is fun!

This mod still working?

any updates on this mod since dfhack has a steam version now?

I am guessing makng ants unplayable was the update to remove the bugs mentioned in January.

Getting Caste based Insect factions to work is interesting.
Having multiplte females be likely does make it easier than trying to get a queen system to work.

Although, having queens be rare can work if you have a way to guarantee the player starts with one.

I recommend you not use this mod until it's updated, I'm getting a lot of crashes and the error log shows a lot of things from the mod:

```
Tile page token not recognized: ANT_BODY_SPECIAL
Tile page token not recognized: ANT_HAIR_STRAIGHT
Tile page token not recognized: ANT_HAIR_CURLY
```

useing ghost puttys mods btw idk if he heeds to fix it ot you D:

@Xenvar Hmmm. Perhaps I can find a use for them, like making crafts or something else!

@Lizy Ah, that's something I've not seen before! I'll have to make sure the sprites are reworked properly so they properly show when affected by different things. As for the egg laying, you need an egg nest

ants go inviasle when inflicted with vampireisum and sutch

Is there anything we can do with chitin crafting-wise? I've noticed that while embarking near antmen it just piles up very quickly

thay live way to short :(

can we make them mulch stone 2 ? and stone craftign extented patch suport

how do the egg laying work ? i dont seem to have luck furerlizeing anial eggs so thease work like thos D:

@Erubian I think it counts as rock?

@Hajnal That's not an error I've ever gotten, but it likely is a mod-side issue! I'll see if I can fiddle with that

Is this an issue from this mod? ant_hair_curly couldn't be found, and the game seemed to crash trying to handle it.

since its used by the stoneworking shop does mulch count as rock or wood when it comes to elves?

@SubTerra at a carpenters' workshop, there's a category called "construction materials". You can make mulch there!

I'm a bit dense, how do you make mulch?

What a great idea!

ty for the answers so far ive had 3 caravans and a few off season migrations and not a lady in the lot so yeah if its not by design then murphy is laughing at one of us at the very least

@TheErubianWarlord Whether or not that's possible in the modding framework of the game, it certainly isn't possible for my skill level of modding! And for the genders, there are fewer females than males in general with the termidorians - but they should still be present. If none have popped up, then either you've gotten the strangest string of RNG, or something's gone terribly wrong. I'll see if I can find out what the issue is and spry it up for the next update!

are all of your termidor citizens meant to be male i havent seen a single girl in my playthrough so far

are parasitic civilization races a possibility?

as in have a Breeder caste that infects creatures with eggs and say depending on the creature's size a selection of other castes could be born the individuals of which are auto assigned to the Breeder that created them as Offspring

is that a possibility in the modding frameworks?

The flying ant people are rough when they have ranged weapons! I need to make more marksdwarves haha

@Croiscant funnily enough, no! However, after a lot of fiddling around with the materials, I found that the game tends to crash, or have other bad issues when I prevented the mulch from being in the worldgen. Terribly sorry about that, I know it's a little weird, but I think I've got a good workaround for the next update!

Is "mulch" supposed to spawn as underground layers through worldgen?

Great mod

Am looking forward to seeing your Spider faction, and also hope to see them also spread spider webs if that is even possible to be done.

@Microsoft Word 2022 Soon! Both ants and the spider faction will come bundled together in the next update!

Glad to see more non-standard races popping up! I like how you handled castes and reproduction to keep it feeling accurate to termites.

When will ant men be playable?

AH i figured it out, so apparently I'm blind and/or stupid and it was in fact obvious
in the carpenter workshop and under the constitution material category.

this might have an obvious answer, but how do i make hardened mulch blocks?

@cabinboy69 For now, the mod is using the baseline subteranean people sprites. I'm working on nice and pretty sprites for their clothes and equipment - implementing new sprites into the game is proving to be deceptively tricky, as I and many other mod-makers are now finding out!

I played several hours and had no problems, the mod works! However, weapons and clothing aren't added to the sprites. if that matters
