OK, so i was having a little fun today and decided to see if the "make_legendary all" command in DF hack could work on Cats, it did and i was wondering if there was a way to mod the game to allow for Cats to labor and for you to be able to set their labors.


I know this is probably really simple but i cant seem to do it.

Thanks to all who help UristMcRetard

It's not really simple. It's impossible really. I remember there was a dfhack script which I think would let animals haul, and make captured invaders or caravan merchants into citizens of your fortress, who could also only haul. However, I've tried it in 0.34 and it was out of date, so it probably would only work in 0.31. Even if it did work it wouldn't be what you wanted. So, no, there isn't a way. Maybe next version will make a new dfhack script possible that adds animals to your citizens list or something weird which lets them work, but that might not even be possible, and would probably onley exist several months from now.

The way it works now, an entity has one creature assigned to it, and only the chosen creature is considered a citizen of the entity and only citizens can do labors. 

Now, supposedly, goblins have domesticated trolls and trolls can learn skills because they have [CAN_SPEAK] and [CAN_LEARN].  I once managed to reclaim a generated fortress that fell to an invasion in Furry Fortress, where the vulps were living side by side with goblins, humans and equids.  The non-vulps could not be assigned labors, but some of them already had skills with the relevant labors enabled.  The LNP's auto-labor thing might allow the non-citizens to try out labors on their own, but I didn't try it. 

So you can try giving [CAN_SPEAK] and [CAN_LEARN] to cats and see what happens, but whatever it is, it's probably going to feel buggy.

The only labor pets can do is FISHING. Just give them a NATURAL_SKILL:FISHING:1 and that's it. Make sure they can equip and have grasp-bodyparts.

Thanks Guys,  especially AceSV, will try that out ,  and vjmdhzgr, anything is possible with code, i could make a different game out of dwarf fortress, I have meph to testify for that, (althoooooogh MasterWork doesn't work in wine which gives me sad face), i saw somebody make golems a playable CIV just by copying the dwarves learn and reading skills, he made thier own learning rates and everything, pretty dang awesome really

I just figured out from messing up a token in my game that you also need hands to do labors.  So you would need to mod the body parts for cats.
