Updated the main post.

I'd personally like to see the adventure mode page updated. As well as some info on escaped necromancer experiments. And finally some info on the new generated structures.

What are the new structures you're referring to? So I can add them to the list.

The raw examples for the experiments show them having associated spheres (deformity, night), and I suspect the other new night creatures might too; when we obtain raw examples for all of them we should make sure to update the sphere page.

While poking around in Legends Viewer (thanks, Kromtec) I have discovered the goals Attain Rank in Society, and Bathe World in Chaos, therefore am calling dibs on a little update! Don't expect anything too amazing, though...

Hey, would it be helpful for me to list the age at which a creature reaches full size? Some animals take, say, a year to reach adulthood, but 2 years to reach full size, and knowing that is important for the meat industry.

To that end, would editing the animal template to include a "Full size at x years" make it so all articles with that template have that field?

[Pillbo]

Wouldn't that be the `Adult at` age listed on the animal pages?

Yes, it would be useful.

No animals keep growing after becoming adult.  I think the most extreme example is http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Dragon but it happens commonly.

I believe there was a list asked for at some point, which was overlooked, IIRC.

Could a mod/admin delete the [imghttps://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Instrument&action=edit]http://Instrument[/img] page? And maybe move the plural version to the singular name to comply with rule N (singular names) while you're at it.

The advanced world generation page http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Advanced_world_generation is missing information on some of the new parameters, specifically

[ALLOW_DIVINATION:1]
[ALLOW_DEMONIC_EXPERIMENTS:1]
[ALLOW_NECROMANCER_EXPERIMENTS:1]
[ALLOW_NECROMANCER_LIEUTENANTS:1]
[ALLOW_NECROMANCER_GHOULS:1]
[ALLOW_NECROMANCER_SUMMONS:1]

Presumably the settings are 1 for on and 0 for off.  If anyone feels confident that they know what each does it would be useful information to add.

Slightly confusing wording there.....each, you say? You do know that demon and necro experiments are more or less the same thing, right? And yeah, AFAIK, I can confirm that all are binary toggles.

[feelotraveller]

I say each because these are the (copy-pasted) tags/switches provided by Toady in world_gen.txt.  But maybe he's confused about it?  I posted here because I don't know much about the workings of these parameters in the hope that someone else who did might pick up the slack.

Ah. That aside, if anything, there doesn't seem to be much to know from my experience - its just on/off switches for mostly necromancy  and divination-focused stuff ATM - portents of mythgen and the Big Wait, I'd have thought.

All the curse sections need a ton of work. There also is no template for v47.

Nice as the new interaction examples page happens to be...there's no actual explanation about what interactions are, either. As a semi-layperson, my reading has led me to infer that they're mostly used in creature modding, correct? But beyond that, there's no explanation on that page, or anywhere else that that kind of explanation might be likely to be.

Huh, you're absolutely right. Huh.
