It broke the spouse converter tag anyway.

Anybody know how to get them to properly get a correct gender spouse? Obviously it works for regular night creatures.

Regular night creatures are either normally male with a female converted spouse caste, or vice versa.  Basically they are one-gender species that use other creatures to reproduce.  I'm not certain, but I think that if you define multiple converted castes, they will be selected at random.  You can get around this by defining two different species, one male and one female, but then they won't breed with each other.

Could somebody post an example of a transformation interaction, please?  I've been screwing around with a transformation for a couple hours now, and I'm getting a bit frustrated.  I can't find any examples online, and the wiki is less than helpful.

I've decided to go and edit my nobles a bit to make them a tad more interesting and useful.  I noticed that site nobles (barons, dukes, etc.) have [SUCCESSION:BY_HEIR].

Does this tag still work? I just tested this in my current fort, and the duke's daughter did not replace her upon her mother's death. Would the liaison come and appoint a new duke?

I'm considering just adding an HEIR position that succeeds the noble, but I'm not sure if it's needed (or if that even works). Any advice or info would be appreciated.

[Putnam]

Next version it should.

I'm considering just adding an HEIR position that succeeds the noble, but I'm not sure if it's needed (or if that even works). Any advice or info would be appreciated.

It would work, it is essentially what happens with elves with the princess (general) succeeding the queen (leader) [It doesn't ACTUALLY work that way, as the princess may not be the queen's daughter, but that seems to be the lore from Threetoe's stories].  So use SUCCESSION:BY_POSITION:FIRSTBORNSON or whatever and make sure FIRSTBORNSON is appointable by whichever noble you want the appointment to be accessible to you on the nobles screen.

Okay, what am I doing wrong here?  I've been trying to create a creature entity that exclusively uses a custom 'seashell' material for its weapons and armor, but not only do they never have the custom material, they keep showing up with metal weapons despite lacking all metalworking jobs.  They have WOOD_ARMOR and WOOD_WEAPONS and the ability to create a custom tree with a reaction.  Why isn't it working?

[Rencini]

Is there a mod or a way to edit the raw files and get the world history to continue while playing (either Fortress Mode or Adventure Mode, does not matter)? Or maybe let the history run a few more years after playing? I know this feature will come in the next update, but if there is an existing mod or way to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.

[Putnam]

No; if there were, we'd have done it, because it's the biggest update ever and the most important thing to ever happen to Dwarf Fortress's development.

If it's coming next version, there is no way to mod it in without the next version. This is pretty much a universal truth of Dwarf Fortress modding.

[Dirtcopter77]

Is this pretty much correct for a transformation syndrome? When it's applied the victim turns into a toad, which isn't really the creature I'm looking for.

Is it possible to make elves and humans have variable hairstyles like dwarves?
