I'm a little curious how Kobolds get their items, particularly their daggers, during world generation. Lets just say I've created some modded metallic composites/alloys that are only possible to create if you're able to dig deep enough to get the rare material in order to make the alloy/composite. 

I saw a kobold theif running around with a dagger made from one of my alloy/composite metals and actually was hoping my dwarfs would stay away from the thing since they were highly unprepared to face such a thing.

Do the weapons kobolds have represent actual material that have been mined out, melted into alloy bars, and turned into weapons? Or do their weapons just get randomly generated from the list of available metals?   I'm guessing they're randomly generated, as I didnt copy all the tags from the rare stuff to my new alloys, and I'm thinking maybe thats why a kobold had one of them as a knife.

I think the Raws do allow Kobolds to smelt and smith metals, their main limiting factor is their inability to mine.

I always just assumed that the items they have were stolen though.

The stolen idea seems the most feasible, since maybe your fort hasn't produced this metal, but the other dwarf faction have or even maybe humans or whatever you modded might be churning these out, and the kobolds are stealing.

Hmm that's interesting.

I suppose I haven't seen adamantine items created through world gen stuff yet, but since my new alloys are adamantine alloyed with other metals it seems likely that another civ or my civ is pumping out the stuff

Pretty sure that unless the weapons aren't daggers, they come from kobolds. Kobolds are the only race that produce daggers iirc.

I think if you add me the [DEEP_SPECIAL] tag from adamantine other civs won't use the metals.
