Dwarves like X for their ...
« on: May 02, 2016, 04:54:19 pm »

What do you think dwarves like creatures for? You know what I mean, "she likes elephants for their trumpeting".

Why not "he likes lions for their wild manes"? or "sad little faces after they have been given a bath, drooping mane and all"?

It would be really awesome if we could slowly amass a huge number of these preference strings for creatures, they could be bundled up at released as a mod. :)

Here a list of all the creatures, just pick one and give it a go.

I believe somebody's done this before to some extent. Like, adding 5 prefstrings to each domestic animal. I'm pretty sure it happened, but I have no idea how I'd go about finding it.

Anyway, I suggest "rhinoceroses for their thick skin" (in real life it's 1.5-5 cm) so I contribute at least something.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

I too remember said mod, it was for more than just domestic animals, but it was for a version 31.25. Long, long ago. ;)

Foxes for their "retarded barking noises".

If a creature has more [PREFSTRING]s is it more likely to be chosen as a Dwarf's favourite animal?

If so, then it would be useful to add more strings specifically to domestics or animals Dwarves would like particularly much (we can probably dupe the tags to increase chance).


If you guys want quick ideas, you can simply add descriptions for their skin. Like "Urist likes ___ for their fur/scales/hide/chitin"

Found the old mod that was mentioned: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=182

Last updated... Jul 14, 2008.

Lots of examples:

1199 prefstrings... wow. But for DF 31.25... I think I will port this to DF2016 :) That already covers half of the creatures, the older ones.

Double post because of character limit.

These are the rest of the prefstrings from the mod above.

Someone mentioned in the Modest Mod thread that they were working on a module that would add additional prefstrings. (No silly ones though).

My personal mod includes dingos for taking babies, giant dingoes for taking giant babies, and eagle men for their low rates.

I love adding prefstrings, although they usually differ each time i re-add them. The only one which remains constant, is

Kobold [PREFSTRING: adorable snouts].

I'm definitely a fan of cutebolds.

Which is funny, because DF kobolds apparently don't have snouts.
