But good, solid help you are doing, thanks for that.

Thank you for such a great mod

And yeah, please ask someone who actually knows these internal structures to look at this caste mismatch after transformation.

For now I'll be using this hack

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

-- Without parameters prints current caste ID, with numeric parameter assigns caste ID
args={...}

local unit=dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()

local newCaste = tonumber(args[1])

if unit == nil then
    print('No unit selected')
    return
end

if unit then
    oldCaste = unit.status.current_soul.caste
    print('Current caste id ', oldCaste)
    if newCaste ~= nil then
        print('Assigning new caste ID ', newCaste)
        unit.status.current_soul.caste = newCaste
    else
        print('Other units with ID ', oldCaste)
        for fnUnitCount,fnUnit in ipairs(df.global.world.units.all) do
            if fnUnit.race == df.global.ui.race_id then
                if fnUnit.status.current_soul.caste == oldCaste then
                    print(dfhack.TranslateName(dfhack.units.getVisibleName(fnUnit)))
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

Another question, does lignite also cause black lung?

[Meph]

Lignite dust, bituminous dust and anthrazite dust, yes.

I wasn't looking, and my dwarves made masterwork ironwood piercing bolts.

Ok, guys, we have very expensive things for the next caravan, stop decorating those totems with bones!

Edit: Just saw the patch notes, and cried a bit at the dwarves no longer able to sell stuff for coins.
But there are coin mints and blast furnace for them to make a lot of gold coins fast, so it should be ok, just removes the "merchant" fortress style for dwarves, was fun to play while it lasted.

[Meph]

They have iron quality, so you might even keep them. 

[slay_mithos]

Yeah, I shot some invading succubus and a megabeast with them after posting, and it's so powerful that I might even think about setting up my iron/steel farm bigger for ammo.

I planned to use them for high value furnitures first, but these are really punching through enemies, and my low military is having a blast with taking out multiple invaders without reloading.

[Meph]

They are exactly iron-grade. Steeloak is steel-grade. Even if they count as wood.

Try humans

[Meph]

Dwarves can still make coins a lot, because they mine better, smelt the metals better and mint the coins faster than humans. You can also transmute metals and exchange currency, so you will have lots and lots of gold coins more than humans. I simply removed one part of their income. You can still get gold and use all the traders and buy what you need, and sell things to caravans. Besides, you can call caravans from many different races as dwarves as well.

I just tried to trim down redundant features.

Any chance you could add more coin exchanging/pressing?  Change iron, mithril, and the decorative metal coins (with exchange rates based on value).  Basically make the way that dwarves get the gold coins for guilds and merchants based on mining and smelting/pressing.

That doesn't sound like the best plan. I mean, gold, silver and copper are three clear cut denominations of currency. Something expensive costs gold. Something cheap costs copper. Silver is the middle ground. Adding other metals into the mix would either create another arbitrary tier or add a bunch of reactions to already cluttered workshops. And making decorative coins to trade doesn't really seem that different then selling metal bars was. Dwarves already have too many features. Trimming down on them and making them more specialized is probably a good plan. Although making dwarves only use electrum currency appeals to me for some reason. Gold and silver are really easy to come by with a decent priest. Why not add an extra processing step to make it less exploity.

How do I spin wooly mountain goat fleece into thread? I have two stacks of it, but I keep getting a cancellation message at my farmers' workshop.
EDIT: Looked at the RAWs, apparently you have to do it at the tanner. That, to my knowledge, is not mentioned in the manual.

[slay_mithos]

I couldn't see it in the patch notes, and as it wa brought up here...

Was the caste change fixed in V6, or do we still have to run that script?

There is no fix yet. There is only the script that was posted for people that want to do it manually.

[slay_mithos]

Oh, I thought for a time that it was related to what was posted in your "30 days", where it was said to run an other dh hack command after true transform:

Not sure if souls and natural skills have anything to do with each other though.
