if you made a creature with a 2:10 litter size is there any way to make it so that when the creature gives brith it is more likely to have 3:4 children.

I guess can have 10 female castes of the creature, with most of them giving 3-4 offspring, and some of them giving 2-10.

1. if there is 2 minerals that have [DEEP_SPECIAL], would they be randomly generated within the world? like, on 1 embark, you could find a adamantine pillar or 2, with a different mineral pillar?


2. Is it possible to have a mineral specifically show up within slade stone?
 I have it as [ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:SLADE:VEIN:10] but it still doesn't seem to wanna show up.

[Aurum System]

1: I haven't tried it but after a search of the forums it at least did that in 2011, but that may have been per biome.

2: Not without DFhack.

Quick question about the [BANDITRY] token. Is it a percentage of how many memebers of the entity will be turned into bandits, or how many of all bandits will be taken from that entity? Or something else?

[pikachu17]

You can look on wiki to be sure, but I'm pretty sure it is a percentage.

If creatures of a civ all have natural skill in mining, will all migrants come with picks?

[Eric Blank]

Peasants will, and others whose highest skill is mining should too, not sure about everybody. It definitely works for hunters; all peasants will start as hunters and bring crossbows if the species has high ambusher skill.

Works for most things. The only time it doesn't is when you have creatures with their highest natural skill in a weapon not available to the civ they're living in. Then they end up with no weapon rather than being assigned an alternative (even if they have some lower skill in an available weapon).
(That's mostly only relevant to encountering them in at home in Adventurer though).

1. Can shields be forced to only be made by certain material? like limit a shield to only bone materials?

2. Is there a way to force a weapon to not show up in forge ect. areas? I thought about making a weapon upgrading system, but it seems that the Tool weapons are not allowed in the military, so I
was curious on if theres a way to have a weapon be made through a new reaction, but for it to not show up like the rest of the weapons in the forge ect.

3. Is there a way to stop range weapons from showing up in the bowyer menu? Seems odd to have a wooden/bone handcannon lol.

1. not that I know of

2. Yes just don't set the weapon as a WEAPON in the entity, then make custom reactions to make it, you pretty much answered it yourself at the end there.

3. I don't think so

A bit lost.. but.. how would it be possible? If I set it as a Tool weapon, it doesn't show up in the weapons in military/squad equipment. Or do I just make a new type of OBJECT:ITEM file with them?

[Eric Blank]

Make the item, and a reaction that lets you create that item, but only give access to the reaction to the civilization, not the item itself. Because the ai never actually performs reactions in WG or tracks what they make, and youre not adding the item itself as an option for the civ, they wont have access to it for trade or spawn with it equipped on soldiers etc. Only the player can make it, through the reaction, and order soldiers to equip it.

if a metal is given the [DEEP_SPECIAL] token, does this only prevent the metal showing up in trades? or is there another use. Been working on a new metal, similar to adamantine, but its just a very rare metal that all civs can make, but Im curious on if its possible to stop having traders and randomly generated npcs to have it.

It will also appear as the composition of underworld spires. This will prevent them from appearing for civilizations. If you have multiple DEEP_SPECIAL materials, each spire will be composed of one (and only one) of them, chosen at random.

just use SPECIAL not DEEP_* both DEEP_ tags use SPECIAL. Using it will block it from trade, and RNG
