*some entity changes only. Ethics does need restart though I believe (active season, for example, does not)

It's also worth noting that there's an excellent chance many more things in the entity file will be moddable in an active save with the upcoming release, due to the fact that a lot more worldgen situations will be ongoing and not finished by the time you have a fort. So the game will probably be looking up numbers in the entity file actively more often after start.

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

To get my dwarves eating kobold meat biscuits and making soap from goblin tallow, I had to set EAT_SAPIENT_KILL to REQUIRED.

No signs of dwarves eating dwarves, yet.

Did you generate a new world afterwards?

Entity changes are one of the types of changes that cannot be done on a running save.

Also, your dwarves aren't going to eat deceased members of your own entity.  If they would get a coffin, they cannot be butchered. Doesn't matter what your ethics are.

Genuine cannibalism isn't possible with just straightforward ethics modding. It's a real bummer.  :(

EAT_SAPIENT_KILL, eh?

What about sparring accidents?

Urist has been unhappy recently. He dined in a legendary dining room lately. He accidentally killed a friend in a fit of rage recently. He enjoyed starting a fist fight recently.

Urist feels quite content.
