So I'm having some bugs in my game that seem like they're caused by raw duplication, but nothing is reported on the errorlog. Does anyone have any idea on how I could find these bugs?

DF Duplisearch does the trick.

Does anyone know what, if anything, RESPONSIBILITY:ESPIONAGE does?

Does anyone know what, if anything, RESPONSIBILITY:ESPIONAGE does?

47.01+ for the dungeon keeper's functionality with the token. Said dwarf will start grabbing details from dwarves adjacent around themselves like piercing false identities, and who has been strong-armed into ongoing villian plots, and use this supplementary to the counter-espionage screen with some w.g influence with agents and the like (apparently, i think this is moreso relevant for a non-site civ generalized like royal advisors with access to all populations without reliable citation example)

But right now they don't have the features to apply their own player schemes with preference for the role leaning at schemer skill, at best they could help discover your first vampire for you if you were very stuck in a busy situation where you couldnt find the obvious suspect with the use of the law-enforcements interrogations, as well as foreign field agents and over-obvious sabotuer's (non hidden intelli-undead) intents.

• Most of all beings defences against truthfulness, are easily degradable with vanilla alcohol inebriation by assigning whatever espionage noble you have in your fortress as a tavernkeep.

Can anyone think of a way to make a syndrome only affect those who already have a certain SYN_CLASS?

Basically I'm trying to make a reaction used to construct something, that requires the individual constructing it to have learned a certain in-universe ancient language (represented by a SYN_CLASS), but I'm drawing a blank on how to do that (assuming it's even possible).

There is very little direct interaction between reactions and syndromes.  You can, however, create a syndrome that teaches an interaction that lets you create an item.
Making syndromes that require a SYN_CLASS is tricky.  However, if your mod only includes one such secret, and you're okay with generated angels and demons knowing the ancient language, you can use the SUPERNATURAL tag.

Thanks! I'm actually using an interaction that creates an item for something else. Using the SUPERNATURAL tag for the language is a very cool idea, though, I think I'll do that.

Is this a typo in the Pond Grabber raws or does it mean they come in these three sizes?

Code: [Select]

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:2000]
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:15000]
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:30000]

Either could be true, i assume maybe its some sort of redundant instant-growth trick? email toady about it if ye-dare, or drop it in the FotF, though sayin that, the last token on file is usually the most prominent one for overlaps.

When a creature is spawned at the edge of the map how does it have its caste chosen? Is it random weighted by POP_RATIO?

Cheers. Decided to put it on the bug tracker. It's no big deal either way.

A couple of questions about reactions:

First, is it possible to use the remains of a particular type of vermin in reactions? If so, how would I set up the material of the reagent for it?

I've tried to specify a certain vermin, but this results in using any available remains:

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:remains:1:REMAINS:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:KERMES_INSECT:KERMES_INSECT]

Should the last part be something else or what am I missing? I've only found some conflicting information about the material of vermin items.

Here's the full reaction, just in case:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_DYE_KERMES]
[NAME:make dye from kermes chitin]
[BUILDING:FARMER:NONE]
[REAGENT:remains:1:REMAINS:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:KERMES_INSECT:KERMES_INSECT]
[REAGENT:container:1:BOX:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[EMPTY][BAG][PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:POWDER_MISC:NO_SUBTYPE:CREATURE_MAT:KERMES_INSECT:DYE]
[PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:container][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:DYER]


Second, does adding new Adventure mode reactions require a new worldgen? I'm assuming it does, but doesn't hurt to ask, I guess.

[Vattic]

Going by the wiki for reactions I believe it should be, I'm away from my PC to test:

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:remains:1:REMAINS:NONE:KERMES_INSECT:KERMES_INSECT]
So REMAINS:NONE for the item type, and CREATURE_ID:CASTE_ID for the material.

If it is impossible to use specific vermin remains in reactions you could add an extract to the vermin in question and use that a reagent instead.

I'll give it a try, thanks. I've thought of using the extract option as an alternative if I can't get the remains reaction to work.

Does anyone know what causes a unit to decide to clean contaminants off their body? According to the wiki citizens will only do it if they've got access to water, but I was wondering if there was a raw-level way to prevent them trying to clean specific contaminants (like using certain creature/material tokens).
It makes it a bit awkward for having citizens that constantly secrete substances, because they get somewhat obsessed with trying fruitlessly to get it all off :p

It should be, but it's not. All castes have an equal chance of spawning in the wild. If you want a rare caste, you can make multiple copies of the common caste.

Splatters that arent water get counted into a 'grime level' mechanic that counts the intensity of dirt so its not only bad for your dwarves but also very unhygenic even if they're immune to it , sorry about your circumstances but maybe it'd be best contributed as a bug issue report about its infinite-loop properties.

• Unsure about where tears etc end up, they dont seem to be affected)

Best way to get clean for longer is to use soap to more effectively remove more grime levels at once, and access to washing grates.
