The '''embark_profiles.txt''' file contains any [[embark]] profiles (or [[starting builds]]) you have created. It is found at '''data/init/embark_profiles.txt'''. Most of these can be transferred between minor versions (e.g. v0.34.10 to v0.34.11), but you need to remember to do so.

== Format ==
Each profile begins with a [PROFILE] tag, followed by a [TITLE:''name''] tag.

=== Skills ===
Skills are identified by their [[skill token]]. The syntax for skills is:
 [SKILL:''#'':''skill name'':''level'']
where # is the dwarf (1-7), "skill name" is the skill, and "level" is the number representing how skilled the dwarf is.

Note that skills are capped at Proficient (5), and this is checked by the game on embark, so it's not possible to start with legendary dwarves. There are other ways to do this (see [[Cheating#All Skills Legendary|Cheating]] or [[User:Vjek]] for more information).

=== Items ===
Items are identified by their material and item tokens, the same format as [[reaction]]s:
 [ITEM:''quantity'':''(material token)'':''(item token)'']
For examples, see [[reaction]], [[item token]], [[material token]], or [[Utility:DFHack/createitem|DFHack createitem]].

=== Pets ===
 [PET:''quantity'':''creature name'':''caste'':''age'']
* "Creature" is the creature ID found in the raws (e.g. CAT for [[Cat/raw|cats]]).
* "Caste" is the caste ID, which can also be found in the raws. Most creatures have MALE and FEMALE castes.
* "Age" can be either STANDARD (for adults) or CHILD (for children).

==Obtaining new profiles==
* Most versions of the Lazy Newb Pack include a set of basic embark profiles, available [[/LNP profiles|here]].
* The [[Masterwork:Main Page|Masterwork mod]] includes a set of embark profiles as well.
