The Ciervus (broken)

"No one was really sure who the first doctors were. A little girl named Sarah had been acting a bit strangely, and her mother called the doctors, just to be safe. In a few hours, or perhaps a few days, they slowly trickled into town. They were all Ciervus, obvious by their large antlers. They brought their equipment, and some strange masks, but something seemed... off. When they told us that Sarah was sick, no one was surprised. When they said her mother was, people got worried. In less than a day, we went from a single little sick girl to an epidemic. Everyone was panicking, trying to make sure they didn't get sick.

"We weren't all convinced by the doctors. A few of us, the ones with medical knowledge, were extremely skeptical, given that the 'symptoms' the doctors kept listing were inconsistent, and, sometimes, the 'sick' didn't even have any real symptoms. The doctors seemed almost to pick their victims at random."

"Victims?"

"When they found a 'sick' Ciervus, they would kill them, saying that dead bodies wouldn't spread the infection. Those of us who knew better began to fear for our lives. If anyone could be randomly diagnosed as 'sick,' and they killed everyone they claimed was sick, then how could we ever be sure that we wouldn't be next?"

"What happened next?"

"They started burning the bodies, and not always before they were killed. Even the doctors got burned to death. No one was safe, not even their own. They would even burn buildings with people inside. In the end, they decided on a suicide pact of sorts. They went into the church during Sunday mass, locked the doors, and burned everyone inside."

"How did you survive?" Peter grinned.

"I was home in bed. Sick."

I'm new to modding, and stuff, so this is taking ages, even with the Skittles Race Template and direct help. I know that some of the things are still a bit iffy, and I would appreciate any extra help people are willing to give with figuring stuff out. Feel free to tell me anything you find that isn't working, but give me the logs so I know what's broken. Please understand, however, that I am VERY new to modding, and have no idea what I'm doing.

This race was inspired by a photo I found on the Chucklefish Forums, which I used for the cover photo. The link to the photo on deviantart by the original artist: https://www.deviantart.com/febilian/art/concept-for-a-starbound-race-mod-steampunk-deer-657519462

This mod is currently not being worked on though, so

Fixed issues:
-Something was wrong with the pet, before.
-Accidentally changed 'humanoid' to 'ciervusoid' in the .species file, which caused issues with the hurt noises
-Now works with both the intro and warping to the outpost
-Male body sprites didn't have tails or coloured bellies before, and there were a few incorrect frames with the tails on the females
