Just a quickie:  Is there any way to mod in castes or specific natural kill tokens as inheritable using the same system as hair/skin color or attributes?  I'm fairly certain not, based on Dwarf Fortress Talk 8, but I figured if anyone would know, it would be the modding board.

No.

I think I've seen this bug before - at seemingly random times during the game, a creature will suddenly accelerate to ridiculous speeds, then an unrelated part of the map catches fire.  Anyone know what causes this?

Sounds like your game has a bad case of time travellers.

Yeah, that's pretty much what it looks like.  Especially when it's a caravan.
Seriously though, anyone know what this is?

I've been trying to make skeletal castes for a necromancer faction I'm trying to mod in but I'm having a hard time making them not just fall over.

Is it possible to make a creature that consists solely of a skeleton that doesn't immediately fall down?

semi noob here but i how do i tell DFhack to alter what wood or leather a object has?

I dont think thats possible. You can spawn new items with "createitems" but I dont think that you can change item materials.

It will only change the base material though, not any decorations.

Changing item materials is two numbers in the item's structs. I could easily write a script if there didn't already exist a plugin.

Is there a way to alter how often a modded material appears in caravans and in bandits etc inventory?

I keep getting random mooks with mirthril weapons and the like and in most cases it's wrecking havoc on my iron clad companions.

Adding [SPECIAL] in the inorganic material raw will prevent it from showing up in caravans and bandits inventory entirely, but you can't make it rare without removing it entirely.

i figured out how to alter woods but what is the tags to tell what Leather is being used for the sake of using DFhack for changeitem or to create them using create-items?
