Humans have randomized ethics, and ethical differences are a big driver in the game's "Do I want to start a war this morning?" routine.

No, they have randomized values. Their ethics, which are the same every time, determine when they go to war.

Hey not sure this has been asked before but a quick look in the search didn't help me. So, i am trying to make a extra caste for kobolds that allows me to play a special kobold who has the ability to speak and im wanting him to be really one of a kind.  So is there a way to use pop ratio to make it so the caste doesn't occur naturally in the game but still be selectable through the adventure mode character creation?

[Eric Blank]

Yes, just set the pop ratio of your special caste to 1 and the standard castes each to 10000. The special caste will then be so rare as to be effectively nonexistent.

This doesn't affect your ability to select caste when starting an adventurer at all; the game cycles through the castes in order ignoring their pop ratios. You just need to be able to tell if you've selected your special caste or a default one.

I have been playing with FRIENDLY_COLOR and I can't seem to figure out exactly what it does. The wiki says it affects the color of settlements during world gen and the embark screen but changing it for the dwarves doesn't seem to change anything to me. Does it do anything or am I just not looking in the right places?



Edit: Additional question, with ART_FACET_MODIFIER I notice that the amount 256 is neutral. Does that mean that if I don't include it then it will be treated as 256 or does it do something different?

[ZM5]

I know the one thing the FRIENDLY_COLOR definitely does is change the colour of the text when another civ sends a diplomat and he/she talks to your expedition leader/mayor. Haven't seen any other effects.

the value defaults to 256 unless specified otherwise, yeah

Thank you for the confirmation

Hey all, I'm returning to Dwarf Fortress after a big hiatus. I've been trying to produce a metal that is a strong as adamantine but made from bone. The reaction to make the bars won't show up in the craftsdwarf shop and the reaction to use it to make armor/etc won't show up in the metalsmiths forge. I've already added the reaction to the PERMITTED_REACTION in the dwarf entity and regenned a new world. Am I missing something?

Before I spend all the effort of digging it out of the raws, does anyone have the alcohol syndrome?

It was taken from the plant alcohol template.

[TheFlame52]

Wait, is it in the actual user-modifiable raws? I thought it was a generated syndrome. Whelp.

Is there a way for a ranged weapon to be fired without a free hand?

[pikachu17]

Is there a way for a ranged weapon to be fired without a free hand?

Umm... don't they ALWAYS work that way? otherwise, what's with the archers getting shields?

[Derro]

I believe Pikachu17 is referring to a way to fire ranged weapons without even having to hold the weapon itself.

Ranged weapons are fired with the same hand that holds it. If it's a two-handed weapon, then it's both.
