is there a way to mod goblins so that they wear steel and metal armor rather than the copper  and leather stuffs?

[3]

Add METAL_PREF to their entity raw entry.

[meowmix]

do i have to regen my world for the goblins to start bringing actual metals?

[Still Standing]

If you edit the raw files within your save folder it will take immediate effect.

[3]

Not with anything concerning entities they shouldn't. So yeah, you'll need a new world.

hum i just got 2 conflicting answers, but ive been tinkering with the save files raws, for nerve damage healing and stuff and those dont seem to take effect.  So how do i know what kinds of things requires a world regen and which ones do not.

[Still Standing]

You should listen to 3, he knows more about it than I do.

Generally stuff applied to existing creatures will work (I'm not sure about the tissue stuff you're talking about, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work) without generating a new world. Things that have an effect during worldgen and on worldgen itself (entities, reactions, and a couple of other things) require another worldgen. Most of it should be in the stickied topic above you.

I'd imagine that METALPREF would also need a regen.

i remember reading somewhere that changes to creature raw files only apply to new dwarves that i get later from migrant waves or birth, and dont affect the dwarves that i already have. can anyone confirm whether or not this is correct

[3]

It depends. Tags that are saved as part of the individual (appearance modifiers, maybe materials, tissues and the like) most likely need new creatures. Creature/caste-level tags (say, NO_EAT/NO_DRINK/NO_SLEEP) shouldn't.

[meowmix]

also i was reading that post about what requires a world gen, what do they mean by entity files. or entities in general, is that just my creature.txt stuff?

[3]

No, that's the stuff in the entity_default file, which handles how civs work.

[forsaken1111]

I can confirm that tags like NO SLEEP and SPEED:0 work on existing creatures on the map.

[meowmix]

so if i wanted to do

If you want your dwarves to heal nerve damage, go into the raw, find the tissue_template_default and set [HEALING_RATE:100] to the NERVE_TEMPLATE.

it would not take effect on existing dwarves, but would affect new dwarves right?, and all this should be done under the saves raw files

edit
what does speed 0 do?
