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.

Editing

To find a specific profile, look for the [TITLE:name] tag, found directly after the [PROFILE] tag. Objects can be edited just like editing normal raws.

Skills

Most skills use the same names as found in the raws. 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 or User:Vjek for more information).

Obtaining new profiles

• Most versions of the Lazy Newb Pack include a set of basic embark profiles: [1]
• The Masterwork mod includes a set of embark profiles as well.
