v0.31 Talk:Obsidian

2011-05-24T07:17:06Z

Cpad:

It looks like obsidian will still be used for constructing items out of stone- I'm staring at some obsidian mechanisms right now. I haven't checked yet if it works for items made at a mason's workshop. --[[User:Vaniver|Vaniver]] 21:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

:Actually, what happens is that obsidian is just not being listed in the "economic stone" menu. If it is a layer in your starting location, it will be allowed for construction (green), if it is not a layer, it won't be allowed (red). Since it is not listed, you cannot switch between these two states. To allow obsidian to be listed, you have to remove its "max edge" tag from the raws. You can add it back after switching, and the game will remember its "cannot use" status. [[Special:Contributions/157.82.24.21|157.82.24.21]] 08:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

::Confirmed. I'm using mayday edition v0.31.08, and it worked like you described (thanks!). To clarify, the tag is [MAX_EDGE:20000] under [INORGANIC:OBSIDIAN] in the file data\save\regionX\raw\objects\inorganic_stone_layer.txt --[[Special:Contributions/83.183.240.185|83.183.240.185]] 18:24, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

im confuzed. whn i make rock short swords they show up as cedar short sword ect not obsidian short sword. it this correct? --gareth 10:26 08 June 2010

v0.31.06 - Also seeing obsidian swords being created as random-wood swords. --awilson

I was not able to make obsidian by dumping a bucket full of water onto magma. Instead I ended up with a 1/7 water tile. Not even any steam.--[[User:Passive Fist|Passive Fist]] 12:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

So if I make an obsidian short sword, does it deal damage like a regular wooden sword or like the 40D obsidian short swords?

: As obsidian. The bug is fixed as of v.x.16, btw.

::The sword one may be, but the economic stone listing one isn't. Gaah, I wanted a road paved with obsidian blocks.

== Magma-safe items ==

I've gone ahead and edited the part about "all items being destroyed" in a water+magma reaction tile. Magma-safe items are not destroyed, but are entombed within the tile. If the tile is mined, the items will re-appear. This is quite easy to test. --Heavenfall

''This could be quite useful for [[trap]]s. --GaxkangtheUnbound''

== effect on outside ==
If you cast obsidian outside for living space rather than stone
then does the tile become inside and/or subterranean again since there's a "natural wall" above it?

v0.31 Talk:Cook

2011-05-02T06:17:53Z

Cpad:

==No Seeds==
In the previous version, cooking left no seeds for re-planting. Can this be verified for this version? --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 10:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
: I cooked an easy meal out of a wild strawberry and a prickle berry, and it produced no seed. [[User:Wccarrington|Wccarrington]] 22:09, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

==Lavish Meal==
In one fortress recently, it looked like I had a cook put more than four components into a lavish meal. I haven't seen it happen again (since I haven't been cooking lavish meals), so I didn't add it to the page- but that might be something worth looking for / verifying. --[[User:Vaniver|Vaniver]] 13:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:Chances are that you've unintentionally encountered an old bug/exploit, which is explained in http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=49177.0 - whether that bug still exists in the new version, I don't know, but it was definitely in 40d. --[[User:Pushy|Pushy]] 11:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
::I think that bug has been fixed in DF2010. I attempted to use it to make a super artifact, but it just used the 3 items that the dwarf was after. So i think Vaniver encountered that bug in the previous version.
::I can also confirm that lavish meals use 4 items.
::[[User:Dangerous Beans|Dangerous Beans]] 00:56, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
:::i can confirm that it is possible to use more then 4 ingredients in a lavish meal, this happens when you designate (for example) plump helmet spawns for coocking, Urist Mccook hauls 3 to your kitchen, then you un-designate them for cooking, and he decides to haul (say), plump helmets instead. then, when he has 3 plump helmets at the kitchen, redesignate the plump helmet spawns for cooking, and he cooks a lavish meal with 6 ingredients.
:::confirmed in dwarf fortress 2010
:::--[[User:Audacious|Audacious]]

==Tantrum==
my cook keeps throwing tantrums when his masterpiece meals are eaten, i presume. he's generally not very happy (my fort is still in the early stages, so not much is working yet), but if one of his masterwork meals are eaten, it sends him over the edge. it also says in his profile that "he has suffered the travesty of art defacement" - is this a bug? has anyone else noticed it? is it vermin eating the food, as opposed to dwarves?
note: i've not actually SEEN anyone pick up one of his masterwork meals, eat it, then see the chef throw a tantrum (i've not been looking, tbh).. but i've had the 'masterwork' announcement from my cook, and then TWO tantrums in the 3 dwarven-days since. he has never had any other serious duties (only hauling labours).
help please --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 13:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
: *EDIT* - on the 40d 'Item quality' wiki it states; "Masterpiece meals can be eaten safely, although allowing the food to rot will provoke the same response as theft or destruction.", which was a very likely outcome, but my cook has now gone 'stark raving mad' so i cant test any further for a while. could someone verify that's still the set-up? and perhaps put a foot-note on the page, too? --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 23:24, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
My cook just had the same happen to him. I doubt it rotted, since it's in an inside stockpile under dwarf cryogenics. It may be a bug, but cannot be sure. --JK

== Succesful booze cooking? ==

I looked at one of my alcohol roasts... turns out all 4 ingredients ''were'' alcohol (longland beer, whip vine, longland beer, whip vine). [[User:Greep|Greep]] 21:07, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
: Edit: I have failed to ever screw up an all booze cooking. Added a note that it appears to be fixed. [[Special:Contributions/71.134.230.146|71.134.230.146]] 23:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
:: Edit: okay it happened now. For whatever reason, the kitchen screen on status had TWO dwarven wines listed. The bug happened when I bought some wine from a trader, although this previously had not caused a problem. [[User:Greep|Greep]] 23:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Okay this is a really weird bug. It occurs only sometimes, but when it does occur, it always happens. Furthermore, dwarves will not react to these puddles at all, not dumping them or anything. [[User:Greep|Greep]] 01:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed that cook still requires a solid ingredient with multiple varieties of alcohol available in 0.31.19, so updated superscript next to "Currently". Not sure that it's needed, probably a "fixed as of version..." note, and if the message is still thrown in the next version, refer to the whole thing in the past tense so people know why.

== Export ==

Barrels of prepared lavish meals are a great export product. I have a legendary cook, who cooks only lavish meals, year round. When the merchants come, I sell the barrels (between 400 and 2000 each) and buy tons of cheap non-rotting food.

==Pies??==
It seems that lavish meals do not now only produce 'roasts'. Looking through my food stockpile I discovered a stack of '*prepared two-humped camel brain pies*'. It pretty much seems to be the same thing as roasts, four ingredients and everything. Can someone else verify this so I know i'm not going crazy?

That may have been added to your raws? I know I have quiches, salads, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, etc since I put them in myself. What I'm hoping to find out if there's any way to add more adjectives... you know, other than 'minced.' I'd love some 'chopped' and 'sliced' and 'grilled' and 'baked' and so on and so forth.
--[[Special:Contributions/71.163.40.236|71.163.40.236]] 15:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

== Cook's preferences ==

I'm seeing my cook consistently go and pick plump helmets for every ingredient, despite other ingredients being more numerous and closer. The cook's preferences don't appear to be making a difference, and she's happy to pick up other ingredients if necessary (i.e. there aren't enough plump helmets in her burrow), but given the choice she'll always go for the plump helmets.

It's rather annoying when I really want her only using the one plump helmet as the solid base for booze cooking. Any suggestions?

—[[User:Meand|me_and]] 21:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
::You could disable the cooking of plump helmets (I do this in every game so that their "seeds" are not destroyed) or just remove plump helmets from the list of allowed items in the food stockpile in her burrow. If there's another food stockpile in the fortress, dwarves will come and take the plump helmets there.

== formula for meal value ==
so the formula for meal value is V=10*A+(X*P*B)+(Y*Q*C)+(Z*R*D)where
A is the quality of the meal
BCD are the qualities of ingredient preparation
PQR are the sizes of the stacks
and XYZ are the value of the ingredients
this is kinda implied by the table in the article but I've no idea wheather it's right, someone confirm? [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 06:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

v0.31 Talk:Pasture

2011-05-02T04:01:28Z

Cpad:

If you multiply a grazing creature's maximum SIZE by its GRAZER value, the result is almost always 60 million (yaks, muskoxen, deer, reindeer, and alpacas are slightly lower due to rounding); thus, all creatures graze at a rate proportional to their size. As such, the best livestock are the ones that grow up to the greatest size in the smallest amount of time, and the winner is the water buffalo, growing to 10,000kg within only 2 years. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

==Meaning of GRAZER value==
The actual number specified with the GRAZER token could have any number of meanings - the amount of nutrition gained from eating grass (i.e. the amount of grass removed from the tile when the animal eats), or how often the animal needs to eat (i.e. the rate at which it becomes hungry). Given that higher values equate to lower food consumption, the latter seems more likely. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:: It actually reflects the nutrition gain. Hunger rate is fixed at 1 per frame. A tile of [dense] grass is good for 1000 frames of grazing. Elephants gain 12 nutrition from every 10-frame grazing session.

==Animals fighting in pasture==
Animals that I have placed into a pasture have been wrestling and kicking, to the point where I have a maimed sheep blinking at me and a constant stream of combat reports. Mostly these combats don't result in anything, aside from the footless sheep, but I'd like to prevent it if I could. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
:I am seeing it as well in .21. I have one very mean goat.
::this is intended behaviour (it was in the dev blog), you need a bigger pasture size, or one with more grass (or both) hungry animals in crowded places get unhappy, just like dwarves do and start throwing "tantrums"
:::Ahhh, that explains why I suddenly got a "The Stray Horse (tame) has become enraged" message when I moved my large mammals and my poultry flock into the same pasture so they'd all be closer to the butcher shop. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 05:29, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

==Removal of Grazer Tag==
Does anyone know of a way to edit the raws that will remove the grazer tag so an animal doesn't have to graze? – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Lennethare|Lennethare]]
:Er, just open the appropriate creature raw file in a text editor (such as Notepad), find the creature definition, locate the [GRAZER:xxx] tag, then remove it and save. If you want the changes to affect a specific world, edit the files in /data/save/regionX/raw/objects, otherwise edit the files in /raw/objects to make them apply to all subsequently generated worlds. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 23:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

==Underground Grazing==
Is it possible to feed animals underground with this update? [[Special:Contributions/97.90.179.98|97.90.179.98]] 22:42, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
:all caverns are full of grasslike fungi and moos, which cattle will graze without problem too--[[User:Rhenaya|Rhenaya]] 09:17, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
::well yes, if you have cattle in an underground pasture, your caverns will be full of moos. I suspect you meant 'moss' in this context, though. [[Special:Contributions/194.200.65.239|194.200.65.239]] 10:26, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
:::you should make sound annoucnment D_D and add moos to cows though :x

==Feeding of pets==
It seems pets are fed by their owners as soon as they are starving. Can anyone confirm this? My setup is a Giant beetle (Civilization Forge mod), which sits on a nestbox for months in a row. It went to starving state multiple times, before it vanished again, so I guess it must have been fed by someone. I am pretty sure it was no animal caretaker, as I should have none in my fortress. [[User:Qwertyu|Qwertyu]] 21:04, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

:Update: The pet owner really feeds pets. I just saw him walk to his pet with a "give food" job active. Where would be the best place to put this info? Here (pets need not be pastured) or under pet? [[User:Qwertyu|Qwertyu]] 18:47, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

== Starving water buffalo ==

I had a water buffalo starve to death for some reason, despite it being in a pasture with plenty of grass (that it appeared to be eating). With a grazer value of sixty, it should easily be able to feed itself, no? Any idea what might have gone wrong? [[Special:Contributions/99.251.236.39|99.251.236.39]] 01:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

so I just read on the trap design page(under dwarven incinerator) that stuff starts burning at it's ignition temp and stops when it melts, meaning things with no melting temp(lignite/graphite) will burn forever unless extinguished.

:Make it sortable. Also, you might want to consider making diff articles for diff "categories" of creatures, so one table isn't just unwieldy. Those categories would have to be pulled from the RAW files, something in-game concrete - perhaps by biome, where they are found.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

They are organised by biome in the raws and we could do a bunch of tables based on those delineations but they're not hard and fast e.g. stingrays are in the ocean file but only 1 of their 7 biome tags is for oceans the rest are for rivers and lakes.
Also if anyone does want to help just post which of the raw files you want to do so we don't do the same thing twice and slot them in alphabetically when you're done.large mountain, fanciful, large ocean and domestic are complete and I'm currently working on large riverlake [[User:Cpad|Cpad]]

:The table is far too wide for a single screen on a 17" monitor - you may be trying to include too much. While "description" is nice, I (as a player) would far rather know if they have the Predator token - maybe lead with that in that column if/when they do? I strongly suggest losing the "juvenile" names column (almost pointless), and the "alignment" (since 99% are "neutral", adding those that aren't to the top of Notes, and changing that column title to "Alignment/Notes", so they'll be sortable to that end if desired. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:30, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:::Agreed. More work on this table needs to be held off until a global approach to "creatures" is determined - which get their own article, what info is useful, etc. (Otherwise, it's just more work for a later editor.) One suggestion has been made to break creatures down into their RAW categories (more or less) - "domestic animal", "subterranean", "tropical", etc - since any game map that's Tundra based won't care much about giant desert scorpions, etc.
:::That would also avoid the [[creature]] vs [[creatures]] problem - the first article needing a definition of what a "creature" is and a discussion of how to read the Creature Object Data (which needs to be included with any useful discussion of a creature!), and the second being comments on actual creatures themselves. One article on "Creature", and then separate tables for (roughly) each RAW file category.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd have to agree on how the page is being stretched way too far, especially in the biomes. I should add that, while I'm not one to enforce how people should add new creatures, I'd like to keep only biome information in the biome catagory and so on with all catagories. I ask that everyone should stop adding creatures until we sort out how we want to display the information. '''Edit:''' Also, if this page shows too many catagories I'd say we cut out the (in order of least to greatest importance) General Child Name, Notes, and Description catagories. This page shouldn't include so much detail that individual creature pages are almost useless, and I'll admit to going overboard on how much information is presented. Right now it is a pain to add creatures. '''Edit2:''' After giving it some thought I think I've come up with what might work. My idea is that there would be multiple tables placed under headlines in the article describing the type of creatures listed (Civilized Races, Megabeasts, etc.). The tables would include four categories describing the symbol, the name, where the creature is found (not necessarily biome tags), and alignment. We should discuss this further in the [[Template:CreatureCurrent table head]] article and make changes there until we're satisfied. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 05:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:A key part of the value of a table is comparison. Right now, it's a jumble, with "'''Blacktip shark'''" next to "'''Blind cave ogre'''" - not the most useful. If we use the same header, but break up the listings into discrete sub-tables (basing those loosely from the RAW's), the diff tables becomes much more organic and functional at that level - "Domestic Animals", "Fresh Water", "Salt Water", "Underground", "Temperate", "Tropical", "Tundra" - maybe a couple others, we have a something that is much more useful. A TOC directs readers to the sub-sections, and we're good.
:As for columns within the table(s), we should ask ''"What does this page want to offer that the individual creature articles won't/can't?"'' And again, I see that as: "immediate side-by-side comparison" - so we should only include things that are key for comparison, namely symbol, whether it's a predator/aggressive or not, "size" (if we can find that), whether it's a food source or not (some few won't be butcherable?), pet/mod value, perhaps some specifics on biome/alignment within the larger table category - and a final column slot for important notes (i.e. only something critical to know/be aware of, like fire-breathing or [[DF2010:Syndrome|syndrome]]-causing or webbing, etc) - and that's it. If the Reader wants a description, if they want specifics, each listing will be a link to the article.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 06:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

==How scary is a creature?==
They die easily to a moderately equipped and trained squad of dwarfs.
Back in 40d, a creature's combat ability was largely determined by its size - bigger = scarier, and that was THE main consideration. Even with the randomness of combat, some statements like the above could be made (altho' the above is particularly vague even for such).
Now... what do we have? I'm ''(think that I'm)'' seeing a "range" of sizes for a single creature:
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]
[BODY_SIZE:1:0:50000]
[BODY_SIZE:2:0:100000]
And for "attack damage", we see another spectrum of possibilities
[ATTACK:BITE:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:BEAK]
[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
[ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]

Take a look at the annotated dwarf code [[DF2010:Annotated Dwarf Code|here]], anything that is not mentioned I have no clue about.

Perhaps it would be better to replace pet value with multiply value since the former only comes into play when determining how happy pets make dwarves, whereas the latter pertains to how valuable meat, soap, leather and bones obtained from the creature will be.

also should the depth at which cavern creatures are found be included in notes?[[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 11:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

We'll have to see about replacing pet value with multiply value, maybe we could include both? I do think that underground depth would be a good thing to add however. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 22:45, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

There are a couple of non-hostile cavern creatures. Hostility is normally based on those two tags, but it should always say "Yes" if the creature kills dwarves on sight since that is what the reader is typically worried about. I did mess up on the mountain goat, thanks for correcting the mistake. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 05:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

do mountain goats attack on sight? the mountain goat page needs fixing if they do
If creatures that lack both those tags will attack on sight then the only way we're going to be able to determine hostility is through in-game experience [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 08:52, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

==Table==
I'm currently expanding this table [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 10:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:Great, please try to alphabetise it as you put things in though, as it will be harder to do so once it is fully populated. I would help, but I'm unsure how well having multiple people work on the same page at the same time would work. --[[User:Ramperkash|Ramperkash]] 17:23, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:Make it sortable. Also, you might want to consider making diff articles for diff "categories" of creatures, so one table isn't just unwieldy. Those categories would have to be pulled from the RAW files, something in-game concrete - perhaps by biome, where they are found.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

They are organised by biome in the raws and we could do a bunch of tables based on those delineations but they're not hard and fast e.g. stingrays are in the ocean file but only 1 of their 7 biome tags is for oceans the rest are for rivers and lakes.
Also if anyone does want to help just post which of the raw files you want to do so we don't do the same thing twice and slot them in alphabetically when you're done.large mountain, fanciful, large ocean and domestic are complete and I'm currently working on large riverlake [[User:Cpad|Cpad]]
:One of the uses of this table is to answer the question "what should I expect where I landed?" Don't know if that's possible - would be nice if it were. (Possibly the job for other articles that do list creatures by biome).--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:30, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Is everything in vanilla going to be listed here? Specifically should I add Olmman? --[[User:StrongAxe|StrongAxe]] 15:34, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:The table is far too wide for a single screen on a 17" monitor - you may be trying to include too much. While "description" is nice, I (as a player) would far rather know if they have the Predator token - maybe lead with that in that column if/when they do? I strongly suggest losing the "juvenile" names column (almost pointless), and the "alignment" (since 99% are "neutral", adding those that aren't to the top of Notes, and changing that column title to "Alignment/Notes", so they'll be sortable to that end if desired. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:30, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
::To that end, full tags like '[BIOME:OCEAN:TEMPERATE]' could easily be switched to a simple (and nicer to read) 'Temperate oceans.' --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 18:37, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Agreed. More work on this table needs to be held off until a global approach to "creatures" is determined - which get their own article, what info is useful, etc. (Otherwise, it's just more work for a later editor.) One suggestion has been made to break creatures down into their RAW categories (more or less) - "domestic animal", "subterranean", "tropical", etc - since any game map that's Tundra based won't care much about giant desert scorpions, etc.
:::That would also avoid the [[creature]] vs [[creatures]] problem - the first article needing a definition of what a "creature" is and a discussion of how to read the Creature Object Data (which needs to be included with any useful discussion of a creature!), and the second being comments on actual creatures themselves. One article on "Creature", and then separate tables for (roughly) each RAW file category.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd have to agree on how the page is being stretched way too far, especially in the biomes. I should add that, while I'm not one to enforce how people should add new creatures, I'd like to keep only biome information in the biome catagory and so on with all catagories. I ask that everyone should stop adding creatures until we sort out how we want to display the information. '''Edit:''' Also, if this page shows too many catagories I'd say we cut out the (in order of least to greatest importance) General Child Name, Notes, and Description catagories. This page shouldn't include so much detail that individual creature pages are almost useless, and I'll admit to going overboard on how much information is presented. Right now it is a pain to add creatures. '''Edit2:''' After giving it some thought I think I've come up with what might work. My idea is that there would be multiple tables placed under headlines in the article describing the type of creatures listed (Civilized Races, Megabeasts, etc.). The tables would include four categories describing the symbol, the name, where the creature is found (not necessarily biome tags), and alignment. We should discuss this further in the [[Template:CreatureCurrent table head]] article and make changes there until we're satisfied. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 05:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:A key part of the value of a table is comparison. Right now, it's a jumble, with "'''Blacktip shark'''" next to "'''Blind cave ogre'''" - not the most useful. If we use the same header, but break up the listings into discrete sub-tables (basing those loosely from the RAW's), the diff tables becomes much more organic and functional at that level - "Domestic Animals", "Fresh Water", "Salt Water", "Underground", "Temperate", "Tropical", "Tundra" - maybe a couple others, we have a something that is much more useful. A TOC directs readers to the sub-sections, and we're good.
:As for columns within the table(s), we should ask ''"What does this page want to offer that the individual creature articles won't/can't?"'' And again, I see that as: "immediate side-by-side comparison" - so we should only include things that are key for comparison, namely symbol, whether it's a predator/aggressive or not, "size" (if we can find that), whether it's a food source or not (some few won't be butcherable?), pet/mod value, perhaps some specifics on biome/alignment within the larger table category - and a final column slot for important notes (i.e. only something critical to know/be aware of, like fire-breathing or [[DF2010:Syndrome|syndrome]]-causing or webbing, etc) - and that's it. If the Reader wants a description, if they want specifics, each listing will be a link to the article.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 06:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
::I agree, and I've made changes based on some of what you said. Edit further until you're satisfied. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 14:33, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:This is not how I would have done it - but it rocks! Way to use the Discussion page, then take charge and '''[[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal#B|Be Bold]]''' - Respect! Carry on...--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:54, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

==How scary is a creature?==
They die easily to a moderately equipped and trained squad of dwarfs.
Back in 40d, a creature's combat ability was largely determined by its size - bigger = scarier, and that was THE main consideration. Even with the randomness of combat, some statements like the above could be made (altho' the above is particularly vague even for such).
Now... what do we have? I'm ''(think that I'm)'' seeing a "range" of sizes for a single creature:
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]
[BODY_SIZE:1:0:50000]
[BODY_SIZE:2:0:100000]
And for "attack damage", we see another spectrum of possibilities
[ATTACK:BITE:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:BEAK]
[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
[ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]
[ATTACK:SCRATCH:CHILD_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP:BY_TYPE:STANCE:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:TALON]
[ATTACK_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:snatch at:snatches at]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
(This is all for an [[elk bird]], btw). Anyone make starting to make heads/tails of any of this yet?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Take a look at the annotated dwarf code [[DF2010:Annotated Dwarf Code|here]], anything that is not mentioned I have no clue about. To answer your question about size, the different body sizes mean how large the creature is at different times in it's life.--[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 22:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== Missing creatures ==

Where are Yetis? Large white Y.

Anyone can add missing creatures to the list, I encourage it. I will add the yeti though. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 22:14, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

can whoever is expanding this point me to where I can help? [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 09:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

The animalman races section still needs work, along with all the above ground sections and the subterranean cavern section. --[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 22:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be better to replace pet value with multiply value since the former only comes into play when determining how happy pets make dwarves, whereas the latter pertains to how valuable meat, soap, leather and bones obtained from the creature will be [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 07:04, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
should the depth at which cavern creatures are found be included in notes? [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 10:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Forest and Taiga */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

See also: [[Animals]]

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Saltwater Swamp */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Freshwater Marsh */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Freshwater */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Forest and Taiga */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Saltwater Swamp */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

See also: [[Animals]]

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Cpad: /* Freshwater Swamp */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

See also: [[Animals]]

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

Cpad: /* Freshwater Marsh */

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ([[stingray]], [[cat]]) to 25,000,000 ([[dragon]]). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

== Migrants ==

You can get migrants at any skill level, in any skill. I've got strand extractors before discovering adamantium, and legendary migrants before they've done any work.

== Teacher/Leader/Student ==

Are these related to the new military training system, or are they something else, like a general ability to learn? Or is the dwarf's learning ability based on his attributes? Would a dwarf with high leader skill be better at running a fortress, or is that for running a squad? --Kydo 14:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Toady said something about them being able to only teach weapon skills, and the general combat / dodging sort of abilities, so I don't think they have any other impact.

== Skill levels ==
Ok, I just took this from the 40d version, as I assume most of this wouldn't have changed, but I don't know how to check for the appropriate xp values. So far I think the order remained unchanged, except "No label" got replaced by "Adequate", and I'm relatively sure Dabbling through Competent are still correct, and Great through Legendary. I just put this here to reflect the "Adequate" change, and so anybody who knows how to check for the rest can update and put it into the wiki page, as it's lacking at the moment.
I added the question marks so people can remove them once they confirm the levels, and change the order if it is found to be different. --[[User:Ramperkash|Ramperkash]] 16:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC+2)

:I can now confirm that the skill levels remained the same (up to Legendary at least), except that the "Adequate" prefix replaced the "No-label" one, and I still don't know how to test the xp values, might be able to check them in adventure mode. --[[User:Ramperkash|Ramperkash]] 17:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm currently expanding this table [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 10:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:Great, please try to alphabetise it as you put things in though, as it will be harder to do so once it is fully populated. I would help, but I'm unsure how well having multiple people work on the same page at the same time would work. --[[User:Ramperkash|Ramperkash]] 17:23, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:Make it sortable. Also, you might want to consider making diff articles for diff "categories" of creatures, so one table isn't just unwieldy. Those categories would have to be pulled from the RAW files, something in-game concrete - perhaps by biome, where they are found.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

They are organised by biome in the raws and we could do a bunch of tables based on those delineations but they're not hard and fast e.g. stingrays are in the ocean file but only 1 of their 7 biome tags is for oceans the rest are for rivers and lakes.
Also if anyone does want to help just post which of the raw files you want to do so we don't do the same thing twice and slot them in alphabetically when you're done.large mountain, fanciful, large ocean and domestic are complete and I'm currently working on large riverlake [[User:Cpad|Cpad]]

==How scary is a creature?==
They die easily to a moderately equipped and trained squad of dwarfs.
Back in 40d, a creature's combat ability was largely determined by its size - bigger = scarier, and that was THE main consideration. Even with the randomness of combat, some statements like the above could be made (altho' the above is particularly vague even for such).
Now... what do we have? I'm ''(think that I'm)'' seeing a "range" of sizes for a single creature:
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]
[BODY_SIZE:1:0:50000]
[BODY_SIZE:2:0:100000]
And for "attack damage", we see another spectrum of possibilities
[ATTACK:BITE:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:BEAK]
[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
[ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]
[ATTACK:SCRATCH:CHILD_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP:BY_TYPE:STANCE:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:TALON]
[ATTACK_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:snatch at:snatches at]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
(This is all for an [[elk bird]], btw). Anyone make starting to make heads/tails of any of this yet?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Take a look at the annotated dwarf code [[DF2010:Annotated Dwarf Code|here]], anything that is not mentioned I have no clue about. To answer your question about size, the different body sizes mean how large the creature is at different times in it's life.--[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 22:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

{{AV}}
In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any non-[[vermin]] beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like [[40d:dwarves|dwarves]] to evil monsters like [[giant cave spider]]s. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

See also: [[Animals]]

==Creatures==
:Note: This will need to be updated with new creatures. When adding a creature with different male/female names put the name most often looked for first.

They are organised by biome in the raws and we could do a bunch of tables based on those delineations but they're not hard and fast e.g. stingrays are in the ocean file but only 1 of their 7 biome tags is for oceans the rest are for rivers and lakes.
Also if anyone does want to help just post which of the raw files you want to do so we don't do the same thing twice and slot them in alphabetically when you're done.large mountain, fanciful and domestic are complete and I'm currently working on large ocean.

I never had any of the moods that required dwarves to be depressed in 40d but I have a high master milker in a fey mood asking for body parts. will commit Dorfcide for science[[User:Cpad|Cpad]]
:'''''SCIENCE!!!'''''--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 01:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
man dwarves are hard to shred.killed a bunch of dwarves but the only parts that came off were teeth(Note use more violence next time) and the milker just sat in the craft shop then went beserk.Interestingly a dwarves "z" screen loses all the personality info when they go insane[[User:Cpad|Cpad]]

For what it's worth, I've seen a couple moods, saved to attempt different methods of reacting to them, and have noticed that Fey and Secretive work exactly as they did in 40d, apart from dwarves now requesting more different kinds of things. Perhaps we can update the 2010 page with some of the stuff from the 40d page at this point? --[[User:AzureShadow|AzureShadow]] 02:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

according to the bone article bones are now counted as body parts so I'm assuming thats what he was after [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 13:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== I think we need to do complete rearrange on mood materials ==

I got fey mood and dorf kept screaming for "rock bars" and logs. He picked up logs, but not rock blocks. This is either bug, or new stuf I haven't figured out yet.
