I think i might have figured out how to have a race be mono-gender and still be able to have children. i'll be checking this extensively for the next couple of hours. and ill have a verdict out after my tests

EDIT: After much testing, I have given up. I just can't figure out how to make it work -sigh- I shall now use my resources on making things explode...

Going on old knowledge here, but can't you make the male caste really rare (via POP_RATIO)?

ok only dwarf error left is this

You also need the correct body detail plan.

That work thanks 

[Sanure]

I think i might have figured out how to have a race be mono-gender and still be able to have children. i'll be checking this extensively for the next couple of hours. and ill have a verdict out after my tests

EDIT: After much testing, I have given up. I just can't figure out how to make it work -sigh- I shall now use my resources on making things explode...

Going on old knowledge here, but can't you make the male caste really rare (via POP_RATIO)?

Tried with POP_RATIO but it ended up with males still being prevalent in the towns and such when I visited them in adv mode, so I quickly gave up on making the mono-gender race. The race does tend to last a thousand years before being wiped out when I set their natural life spans to up to one thousand years... but it still doesn't have the effects I want sadly.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

You sure you used the POP_RATIO correctly? I have a few 125 year worldgen and any caste with [POP_RATIO:1] never show up due to the normal castes having [POP_RATIO:100000] each.

EDIT:
I believe i2amroy expained to me a while back on this thread about how POP_RATIO works. going by memory here (i2amroy correct me if I am wrong)

the chance something will appear will be: (creatures pop ratio / All pop ratios added together) * 100

so 100000 + 1 = 100001

(1 / 100001) * 100 =

lets just say the chances are very slim that caste will show up (due to my calcator gave me an insane reading)

Really? My custom species has mostly drones, healers and hunters in towns, and I've only ever seen one warrior and no queens (rarest caste). Give us the raws.

as soon as i search through my raw dump, ill have the raws up. but yeah had the males set to 1 and the females set a ton higher and i would always have a mostly male population. ill be back on later tonight

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

If you make the POP_RATIO too high it overflows then becomes a (-##) which then gets treated as 0 and DF just defaults it to 1 (I think)

[i2amroy]

Correct on both counts as far as my knowledge goes Hugo_The_Dwarf.

[NotErich]

Incoming question bomb:

What are the implications of night creatures? I want to enable the [SPOUSE_CONVERTER] tag, and these creatures will indeed be rare, but I don't like the idea that they can be limited by the night creature option in worldgen.

In the likely case it'll be a night creature, what are the details about creating them? I'd like it to be more common than stock night creature, but still not very common.

For lairs, do I have control of how they are built, and what are stored in them? Also, does having a lair tether a night creature to that world tile, or can they still roam outside of it?

Can I make a night creature only exit it's lair in a certain season, or only be active in a certain season?

And finally, is there a way of making the same type of creature violent OR non-violent on creation?

[Putnam]

The night creature option in worldgen only accounts for the randomly-generated trolls. Even if you set the setting to zero, you'll still have modded creatures.
