Engraving Control
« on: April 05, 2013, 12:04:40 pm »
Been looking all over the Forums and i'm wondering is there a way to control what your dwarves engrave on the walls and floor like limit it to just events in your own fort instead of all the ramdom ones they get?

Thanks for any help offered

There is a file with all the engravings and you can add/subtract some, but low-skilled dwarves will always take those. If you want more interesting engravings, only use legendary engravers for the job.

If you removed all of the shapes in descriptor_shape_standard.txt and then generated a 2 year long world generation you would get close to it (they would still engrave pictures of animals/plants and pictures of anything in the 2 years of history), but other then that the answer is no.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!
