Will modifying those stats as posted by Nonsapient require a regen? I assume not since it's modifying tags rather than adding.

[Nonsapient]

Naw, no regen necessary.  At least as far as I understand it.

[Hyndis]

Shouldn't be needed. I know you can put [SPEED:1] in the raws and take it out of the raws without needing a regen in the cases where you need super dwarves for a few seasons.

[Ilmoran]

Correct, it will not require a world regen.

<unused counter rate>:<rust counter rate>:<demotion counter rate>

Anyone know... the time for each rate?  Say the default is 2:3:2...  Does the '2' mean 2 months?  2 weeks?  2 days?

2 Urists:3 Urists:2 Urists.
Seems fine to me.

Yes, I should've said 'might explain'. You're right, fat doesn't look like an attribute. I assumed since it changed during gameplay that it was.

So is it just the new genes that cause some dwarfs to balloon up regardless of labor intensity?

I was only giving half the story, accidentally. A dwarf's metabolism right now is tied to the recuperation ("heals quickly") stat, so if that stat decays, they definitely might get fatter.

Ummmm I think there should be MENT_ATT in front of some of those attributes, instead of PHYS_ATT, right? Such as Analytical Ability and Focus

Also, does it matter where exactly one inserts these corrections in creature_standard.txt? Just as long as they're under [CREATURE:DWARF] and before [CREATURE:HUMAN]?
EDIT: Oh, and what's the purpose of those + and - signs?

[Sabin Stargem]

They represent the quality of an attribute's "curb".  There are several different range sets for attribute potential, and those signs serve as a reminder.  They have no functional use beyond that.

Yes, some of the PHYS_ATT_RATES should be MENT_ATT_RATES instead.  The ranges are correctly MENT_ATT though.  And no, it shouldn't matter where in creature:dwarf you add those, but I would look for where it's existing stats are, and either replace them, or remove the brackets from the current values (this makes them no longer treated as tags) and place the new values in their spot.

Except it doesn't answer what I want to know about it...  but yea, definitely useable by the OP. 

[MrWiggles]

From what I recall of the various sneak peeks, fat is suppose to be based upon the metabolism of the individual dorfs and activity.

No world regen required? Not true. This comes from experience. Upon adding and removing [SPEED:1] to and from creature_standard.txt I didn't see the change until after I created a new world.

Loading the existing save: no change
Abandoning fortress, starting a new game and reclaiming the last fortress: no change
After creating new world: saw it instantly, dwarves moved ridiculously fast
Removed the line one last time and loaded the game: they still moved ridic fast

As far as skill learning or decay rate goes, the changes I made seemed inconsistent even after creating a new world.  I added the line [SKILL_RATES:5000:NONE:NONE:NONE] there (above the default dwarf PHYS_ATT and MENT_ATT stuff) and after mining about 500 tiles with a single dwarf he went from Not Miner to Talented. To me this seems it was somewhat faster but not nearly as fast skill improvement as I would've expected. I expected he'd be Legendary or something, going from 100 to 5000, that's 50x increase after all. But then again, I'm a newbie at DF.

Is it supposed to be SKILL_RATES or SKILL_RATE? Where do you get these... names. The magmawiki link seems iffy in this regard, it uses both terms (not to mention the other typos, may the author suffer 50 lashes).

EDIT: New world, changed SKILL_RATES to default 100, same amount of digging. McChosenDigger ended up Talented, no more, no less. So yeah, something's wrong here.

Erm, don't the region folders have their own raws? Editing those would probably make the change immediate and wouldn't require a worldgen.
