Hmmm... how can this be weaponized?

At least it seems impossible for DF to trigger that behavior by accident.

No reason has been given as to why the bug occurs

dunno

also that seems, uh, immoral

It was in jest... very little point in freezing the player's PC unless you've detected that he/she is about to savescum anyway.

I was looking on the wiki about  MAX_TRUNK_HEIGHT , and saw

The maximum z-level height of a mature tree's trunk, starting from about two z-levels above ground and going up.

So this mean that even with the lowest setting , 1 , you will still be forced to have trunks that are going at least 3 z levels above the surface ?

[scamtank]

At minimum settings and no mushroom caps, a tree's trunk will be made up from at least two solid 0-tiles on top of each other. That much I could glean from spawning a lot of trees in arena mode.

[Robsoie]

Thanks for the confirmation, too bad you can't limit it the way you want.

The caravans bring a lot of 5-stacks of... something, these items don't have names; every stack has a value of 10.

Their placement on the list of trade items suggests that they're tree growths / fruit. What am I doing wrong with the trees? This is a sample of a tree with growths:

Hello!
I am inexperienced in modding, but I want make some modifications:
I want to change the amount of experience the dwarfs gain while fighting.
Please, can somebody show me how to do it?

[BlackFlyme]

You will have to adjust the individual skill rates of each military skill using the tag SKILL_LEARN_RATE. Here they all are already. The number at the end is the percentage of the rate they learn at, and an argument of 100 means that they will learn at the normal rate. 110 Means that they will learn 10% faster, while 90 means they learn 10% slower.

Thank you very much BlackFlyme! This is exactly what I needed!

I need help with a simple syndrome I've prepared for use with a script I've got in mind. It's meant to cause blindness, but my arena tests have shown that the affected creatures actually retain full sight. Any ideas for how this could be fixed?

I think SIGHT isn't a valid BY_TYPE. Try BY_CATEGORY:EYE, assuming you've not added anything that sees through a non-eye.

[BlackFlyme]

There are a few errors.

You are supposed to end the string with the START and END tags, according to the wiki. In your raws, they are placed at the beginning.

BY_TOKEN is for bodypart tokens, which are the unique IDs assigned to body parts in the body_default file. For example, a right hand's token ID is usually RH, while the left hand's IF is LH.

You cannot specify a target for paralysis. It is all or nothing.

Numbness and Nausea have two colons side by side in their arguments.

Main reason there is no END tag is because i want it to go forever. not to have it end, and this works with my transformation healing tear syndrome that i gave my race. so that may be invalid. Then is there a number that cripples them but makes sure they dont stop breathing?

[BlackFlyme]

I don't know of any specific number for paralyzing a creature without having them suffocate. It may depend on the individual creature's size, again, according to the wiki. So smaller creatures can't survive paralysis as well as larger creatures.

You could try having the syndrome cause unconsciousness, or change their speed to slow them so much that they cannot move from their spot.
