Only way is to add a new color and pretend that that's an appearance modifier

I have my civ setup so that major nobles will appoint themself an apprentice that'll take over their position should they die. I'm trying to do this for LAND_HOLDER positions, but I can't seem to get it to work. Is this something possible or should I scrap it? I've tried using the [SITE] tag and now I'm using [LAND_HOLDER] but legends never say the apprentices show up. Here's my lowest level land holder, with their apprentice.

EDIT: I played a fort until I was given the chance to raise a citizen to an overseer. It seems like having two nobles at the same level of land holder causes the game to bug out and not let you recommend one. Or at least maybe it's because my apprentice overseer wasn't one I can select, it disallowed me from recommending a citizen at all.

EDIT: Another fort played using [SITE] and [NUMBER:1] instead of LAND_HOLDER on the apprentice position, this time I was able to choose a citizen to raise, but the apprentice position didn't show up. Alas.

Short version: Can I limit Reactions in an Entity to only certain positions by declaring them in that position? Or does that just prematurely end the position definition and declare the entire entity can use that Reaction?

Long version: Working on an Animal Person civilization and want to make it so that certain site positions can perform "ritual" reactions from a custom workshop.

[brewer bob]

Can I limit Reactions in an Entity to only certain positions by declaring them in that position?

Not possible, afaik. You can only "limit" reactions by what skill is required to use it (and you can't limit skills to certain entity positions either, if you're wondering).

...But outside player forts, the entity won't be really using those reactions anyway (or depends on the product), so you can pretty much manually restrict who can use the custom workshop (at least prior to the Steam release, no idea if it has changed in 0.50+).

What will happen if I make my creature have a lair in a water tile? Will it work normally?

[Eric Blank]

Used to be that the lair would exist in the abstract, but not exist if you swam out to it. The creature probably wouldn't be there either.

Haven't messed with underwater stuff for a long time, so no idea if anything has changed honestly.

What is the best method to make sure a creature is bald on their scalp, but can still grow beards? I tried:

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:HAIR]
         [TISSUE_STYLE_UNIT:HAIR:CLEAN_SHAVEN]

but this seems to return an error on the errorlog when generating a world.

Is there any way to make sure that a certain creature will always be generated when a certain plant is generated?

Couple this with FREQUENCY:100 and see if that works. UBIQUITOUS might work too but I'm not sure on how that will interact with SPECIFIC_FOOD

FREQUENCY is weighted against the other creature's frequency (in some way also accounting for large predators etc.), so you want to use either UBIQUITOUS or crank the FREQUENCY way up, like FREQUENCY:100000 or such.

Is there any way to override or otherwise remove a dwarfs aversion to being in tiles of 7/7 liquids? Or is this hardcoded ??

I've found a odd workaround for water but 7/7 magma is different ball game

Without using 3rd party software

[Eric Blank]

That's a hardcoded behavior and can't be avoided, unfortunately.

[aradar]

 And I'm guessing there's no way,or simple method to manipulate magmas liquid state to something different and "safe"

[Eric Blank]

I don't even think dfhack can do that. If you disable temperature it won't melt things.

Sorry to keep beating this dead horse but, could you use a material emission to shoot water into magma constantly turning it into obsidian I will attempt this later to see for my self but figured I'd ask
