Is there a way to change a dwarf's preferences?
« on: June 05, 2013, 01:13:25 pm »
Title kinda says it all. Is there a way to change the list of preferences a Dwarf is capable of having or currently has. I like to use Veok's Standardized Leather Mod and would really like to remove those preferences for specific animal leathers, and maybe wood. Any help would be much appreciated.

Deepblade's Standardized Creature Parts, for when you're pissed about all the different types of animal products there are.

hardcoded, however if you critters are using all the same leather it shouldn't bring up "Urist like Cheetah leather" instead it would be "cheetah bone, skin, meat, etc" and if they liked a leather it would be "likes animal leather"

It is possible to alter existing preferences, though it is quite difficult to do.

DFHack has a utility called the game-masters editor, and you can bring it up by (v)iewing the dwarf whose preferences you want to change, and type gui/gm-editor into DFHack. In the new menu that comes up, go to the option that says status, then choose current soul, then preferences.

I'd like to advise you that toying with a dwarf's stats can lead to some oddities, and that actually using this tool for anything can be unbelievably complicated.
