So, I spent a good portion of today getting back into Dwarf Fortress in preparation for the new release.  I originally sought to combine Dig Deeper with a few mods, but I eventually decided to just play Kobold Camp put alongside RantingRodent's graphics set.  That took some work; I had to hunt down 40d16, install that, download the two mods, work out compatibility for them... interesting stuff.

Anyway, I finally managed to find a good site: a medium-sized cave in a temperate climate and plenty of trees to support my barbarians.  But when I checked out the cave and its residents, I was almost paralyzed with fear:

I didn't size the second screenshot correctly. if you don't know what it is, it's two GCS inside the cave.

This isn't a normal bug either; all six of them stayed around both in the Unit menu and on the main screen.  Bizarre.  Needless to say, I wasn't ready for that at all.  So, I have two questions for you guys:

1) What the hell happened?  I don't think either of my mods turn GCS into common cave-dwellers.
2) Should I risk the site?  I'm working with Kobolds, not Dwarves, although I have given them the tools to domesticate animals.  A GCS army would be fun, but it would be a living hell until then.

In any case, I hope you enjoyed this short-but-sweet incident.  Maybe you're as confused as I am, I wouldn't be surprised.

P.S. Three are male, three are female.  Opportunities abound if I can manage to capture them.

with D16 you got 2 easy choices
1. get civ changer s(t)eal one or all of them and leash them some where in the cave.
2. use DC mod you a super kobold and toss him/her into the area

Just check the raws and see what biome tags your GCSs now have, and otherwise compare them to the normal ones.

I think GCS inhabit caves normally, but they tend to be rare. I'm not entirely certain, but I think the SUBTERRANEAN biome includes caves.

SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM does seem to include caves. Interesting.

Maybe your modded version is just lacking enough other creatures to put in caves?

Did you remember to delete your data/objects folder before starting & genning? Could be duplication issue perhaps?
