I've skimmed through the topic and found no answer so I've got this question: I've made a controllable race for fortress mode but, while the initial seven was okay, all the new migrants (as well as some gods) come completely unnamed. Is it because I haven't assigned a language file to them? Or is it something else?

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, without a language file the game probably doesn't know how to name anyone.

i have been looking and i couldnt find, anyone knows whats the limit in moding the damblock? i mean whats the maximun you can place

[Sean Mirrsen]

65535 or 256, either might work. What's the use of such high numbers is beyond me though.

Can a modded race make forest retreat settlements in places that have trees but arent forests. Like say marshland? Cause a friend has complained my modded race is too uber and cited them using human towns as one of the numerous causes.

Yes. My Silver Xelic race seems to live in forest retreats in the marshlands just fine. Although I should note that I don't think I've ever actually visited one in Adventure mode, so that may only be true during world gen.

Thinking about it, it might be possible (if silly) to have a race with forest retreats in a treeless area. I may have to test that.

[darkevilme]

I know you can build cave_detailed in deserts but like the forest retreat i have no idea whether this'd cause bad things to happen when its visited in adventure mode and this should be checked probably.

This is all a stand in though, anyone have the slightest idea how many years away custom sites for custom races are?

Why aren't my reactions working?

Yeah, I know the last one's a little nonsensical as it is. The plant it should be processing isn't showing up at all on the farm plot menu even though I have seeds, and copying its attributes to a plant already in the game causes the game to crash on loading.

The first one works if I have the reaction use stone, but trying to use the cave vines results in the dwarf grabbing any plant it can find. I've also tried NO_MATGLOSS, NO_RACEGLOSS, and HAS RACEGLOSS:PLANT in the reaction, but that has no effect.

Below are the three plants and one tree I'm using for the reactions.

Reaction 1: where's the raws entry for the cave vine plant?

Your reagent should look like this: PLANT:NO_SUBTYPE:VINE_CAVE:NO_MATGLOSS

where VINE_CAVE is whatever token you chose for the cave vine entry.  Was ASH just a placeholder or what?

Reaction 2: you're trying to produce a plant made of coal.  This a) is almost guaranteed not to work and b) is useless, since coal jobs are looking for coal bars.  Just produce normal charcoal instead: BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:CHARCOAL, I think.  Also, make sure you change GLASS_GREEN (?) back to ROOT_HIDE or whatever the hide root token is.

The char pod plants aren't showing up in the farm plot because the plant has no biomes -- the game won't let you plant seeds unless the farm plot is in the appropriate biome.

Is there a way I can rid of cats in my growing fortress without the " KITTY DIED" thought?

[Footkerchief]

Butcher them before they adopt someone.  It's that easy.

Although I guess to answer your question from a modding perspective, you could remove 2LUNGS from their body definition or something.

Wouldn't I have to re-gen a world?

No, I don't think anybody had to regen for the "Cat cancels dump" fix, which uses a modded body part.  It'll lead to unhappy thoughts for sure though.  Really, just butcher them.

I wish cats were robots made of awesomemantine that were incapable of love and hated goblins.

I prefer kitty bombs, personally.
