Is there any way to make a submenu in a custom workshop?
Something similar to the metalcrafting shop, like make subcategories for each metal.

Not currently, but I think I remember seeing something from Toady One about that being in the next release (not finding the exact quote at the moment though)

In the next version, this will be the syntax:

Quote from: Toady One on February 27, 2015, 09:44:10 pm
It's fixed assuming it doesn't get any more interesting.  In any reaction's def, assign it to a category with [CATEGORY:<token>].

[CATEGORY:<token>]
 [CATEGORY_NAME:<text>]
 [CATEGORY_DESCRIPTION:<text>]
 [CATEGORY_PARENT:<token>]
 [CATEGORY_KEY:<key>]

The subtokens to define the category's details just need to appear below the CATEGORY somewhere once.  The nesting can go as deeply as needed.  It only shows reaction categories in the relevant workshops if your fort's entity has a permitted reaction within the category nesting, which will hopefully avoid some clutter in complicated mods.  We'll have to see what else is necessary as we go.  Things like material assignments linked to categories (to handle stuff like glass coming out into the raws) are elevated to "low-hanging fruit" status now, but aren't in the game.

I'm working on some wendigos and they aren't quite the nigh-unstoppable killing machines I want them to be. Any tips?

What exactly is stopping them from being more monstrous?

Making them rather large, and making their attacks hit harder can help, if it is lacking in offense.

They can be made of tougher materials, or their materials can otherwise be altered within its definition. This can also be used to make some of its attacks hit harder. For example, sharper nails cutting deeper.

For a more straightforward approach to defence, try giving them a [GENERAL_MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER:1:2] tag, to halve the effects of attacks against it.

give them some Strength, Dexterity, speed, and skills. in particular, the Dodging skill makes them Dorf Souls 4 masters.
Also: a huge layer of fat under the skin gives boosted survival.

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

So I'm trying to make an interaction that would allow creature to learn how to have a fire breath the thing is that the ability doesn't appear anywhere when I'm trying it in arena mode.
It based on the necromancer example, here's the syndrome part :

Is there a way to change the tiles used for dirt vs rough stone floors? Currently with varied tiles turned off they are both `.` period, but I was wondering if there was a way to change say rough stone to be a different tile, like `,` comma?

Not with normal modding, but with Twbt (Text will be Text, by mifki, a dfhack plugin) you can change them by using override tiles.

'What is life?', you ask. Fundamentally life is the apotheosis of pointlessness. We live to multiple. But what for? The Endless cycle of carnage pulls hardest on the furthest victim. An inescapable fate; one no one wants but we all desire. The more immoral we become the more ideal we are. A perverse oxymoron. We who live unencumbered but are the most burdened. We fight but at the end it is all for naught, as in life there are no winners; only the undistinguished.

You can use PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC and MENT_ATT_CAP_PERC to increase it further without dfhack.
