This has most likely already been asked and answered, maybe even more than once but my searches are not giving me what I want.
I see a lot of people saying they like making the GIANT variations of creatures trainable (and also creature-men? I may have read wrong)

How exactly do I go about making them trainable?
Is there a single file that I can add [TRAINABLE] too, or do I have to do through all the individual creature files and add it to all the giant variations?

Whoever answers this, much thanks in advance!

In this case it's the ANIMAL_PERSON and GIANT variations (although there are others, such as ANIMAL_PERSON_LEGLESS, that you may want to make trainable too).

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. much appreciated.

So I'm ripping off the humans and making a sixth race.  They'll be afraid of water.  Just wanted to confirm that by leaving the swims_learned they'll drown by default.  Also wondering if locations were in fact hardcoded (you cant create your own, still non-existent name for them).

very hard-coded

So after looking through the wiki and this forum I am pretty sure I know the answer, but thought I would ask anyway.

Is there any way to change a creatures skill levels and/or skill learn rates using interactions/syndromes/df hack?

CE_SKILL_ROLL_ADJUST  PERC:percentage:PERC_ON:percentage:  Alters the skill level of a creature. The argument PERC specifies a percentage of the creature's current skill, and PERC_ON the probability of the effect being applied on a particular roll.

Indeed but that does not take a particular skill

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

there is a syndrome CE_SKILL_ROLL_ADJUST that will increase all skills? other then that Skill learn rates are on the "SOUL" level thus no syndrome/interaction/transformation can alter it.

You can sorta adjust soul things with CE_MENT_ATT_CHANGE, but the change itself is its own value elsewhere.

I'm trying to make temporary items (around for a while as catalysts, but will eventually need replacing). I remembered that if an item is in a stockpile that has refuse collection as part of the settings, it will suffer wear and eventually disappear.

So, what kind of refuse-type items could I realistically make (and rename) as results of reactions? I know that I can't make bones or other bodyparts, for example, which is a shame. Is there anything at all that can be made which would normally be stored in Refuse piles?

[Putnam]

no

It might be a better idea to make the item of a material that will slowly boil away at room temperature.

better yet heatdam point at room temp, it's doesn't boil, but it will break down

[travellersside]

A good point. I hadn't been thinking in that direction. However, I do want it to last a reasonable amount of time, rather than disintegrate in a day or two. What's the realistic lifespan for things this way? Can they last a month? (Which would be about right for what I need - you get some mileage, but it's going to need replacing relatively often)

Why do goblins have no eat and no drink tags?  It cant be because they are immortal, elves lack those tags. . .


Also, I don't see smelting iron or any way to denote iron availability.  Is there any way to ensure a civ cant work iron?
