Create a dwarf in fortress mode.
« on: October 26, 2015, 10:45:55 am »
I have no clue where to even post so i chose the general place. Is there a way to create a dwarf from the base, to choose everything about said dwarf and then input him/her into the fortress. Is there a mod? Changing Ini files anything?

You can create an adventurer, then retire them and hope they migrate to your fortress. It's very far from guaranteed though so if you want a good chance you need to make lots of adventurers.

Don't think there's a way to just design a dwarf and add them to the game though. Maybe with dfhack.

Masterwork has a method of spawning creatures, though I'm not sure you can choose all the aspects...no doubt doing that would involve lots of exploits.  Maybe making a caste of dwarf with 0% spawn rate and the exact features you want, and then have a transformation...?

You can retire your fort, create an adventurer dwarf that spawns in it, retire the dwarf in the fort, then un-retire the fort. Your dwarf should then be a part of it I believe. You'd get to choose all the dwarves attributes and skills using this method if that's what you're looking for.

Would be fun if there was a mod in where you could choose a dwarf preferences, "looks" and all that. Would make a character out of friends and make streaming intressting. ^^

In fortress mode, naming dwarves after friends and making the traits similar just to see what happens.
