this may just be me but i use dwarf therapist with dwarf fortress and it cant read ure genders right ive never had tbhis issue before and ive played  vanilla and civilization mod and it was always right before but now it says i got 1 man and 6 women and in game when i check ive got 3 men and 4 women ive tried a fresh instal of dwarf therapist and tried restarting it and reloading it a few times as well any ideas and yes im not stupud i know this isnt the dwarf therapist forum.....

Deon, Cave Chilies, Carrots, Quarry Bushes and Cucumbers use '(' for their picked tile. Now, as I mentioned long ago any tile selections in Apostrophes results in empty spaces instead of the tile, at least, for the tileset I use (slightly modified version of Dorten's tileset). So please change their picked tiles to the number 40, which results in the correct tile being displayed.

Glow berries also use '"' for their shrub tile, picked tile, and dead shrub tile. They should all be replaced with the number 34.

That's a problem with how Dwarf Therapist responds to castes. I've brought this up on the DT thread an was thoroughly ignored but you could try as well.

Just had a couple of ambushes pop themselves. As soon as both appeared on the edge of the map, I got the notification. They then killed one member each (one squad killed a goblin member and the other a dwarf member) and then both ran away.

WTF?

Giant Gargoyles can't bleed out.  I think this is related to them not having anything listed as blood.  Ex.

Not sure about the "killing members" part (I don't quite understand what you mean), but the majority of my ambushes consist of a kobold showing up, then immediately running for the edge.

Still haven't gotten a single werewolf siege since they were implemented.

Was the leader killed?

It could be because gargoyles are usually made of stone?  I'm fairly sure one of my dwarves liked gargoyles for their stony skin or rockiness.  On the other hand they are butcherable so who knows.

Real pros take out giant gargoyles by having them fall down their central staircase then getting punched to death anyway!

This appears to be a vanilla bug in 31.18 - Bugtracker

What does long world gen mean?  U need to make a huge map for it to work properly?...

It means that world gen will take a while as opposed to the relatively quicker gens of vanilla DF. It's not too bad, and with the sheer amount of content in mods like Genesis, it's close to unavoidable even on some higher-end systems.

Ah ok thx, I was just curious as ive only recenty started playing DF and have only used this mod.

  Is there a certain size the world needs to be to get attacks and wild creatures?  I usually make a world with all settings in the middle but ive never seen any weird beings or monsters in over 10 forts..

[inEQUALITY]

That's not really dependent on world size so much as the savagery value where you embark (for encountering non-megabeast creatures on embark) and the number of titans/megabeasts, etc. in the world as determined by the parameters and how many were killed off in world gen. Typically, the longer the world gen, the less megabeasts active from being killed off, though they don't get cut down like butter in gen like they used to. I can't really vouch for that being the main reason, as the titan and megabeast pop/wealth requirements probably have a MUCH larger role in things. To be fair, I haven't done but one fort in Genesis and I haven't been back to it in a while since I tend to always focus more on Adventure Mode anyway, but I'm almost certain that the factors I mentioned are universal across all mods.

EDIT: Also, I'm fairly certain that other than Werewolves, you won't get sieged or attacked by anything other than surface creatures present in the biome on embark (and even that is rare unless you let your dwarves dawdle near them mindlessly or somesuch) for several seasons at the least.

[rainekage]

I just tried out Civforge, which was the mod that made me love DF when I started, and I now have to curse Deon and everyone who helped him.  Genesis is so good I can't play other mods now, they just aren't as fun!    (Although I'm looking forward to playing Wasteland after it's refined a bit).

Ok, I have animals freezing to death.  I believe there is a missing matgloss thread somewhere in the raws, I haven't changed them so anyone else who wants to look should be able to find it.  Material is unknown so I can't tell you what to look for yet.  The only evidence I saw was the freezing steam, I'll try to find the source.

It refers to the fact that .31.18 doesn't crash in worldgen as badly as .31.17, WHEN using lots of castes in civilizations, ie. with major mods.

With .31.17 we managed to make 100-150 year old worlds in Genesis, any longer than that was almost certain crash.
I would recommend medium region or large region, and a 3x2 embark.

Got a cold biome or something? Any blue dragon breath liquids around in puddles? Which animal species? In combat? Tame or wildlife or caravan's pack animals?
