<div>{{av}}{{Quality|Fine}}<br />
<br />
This is intended to be a guide to inform those new to DF modding on what elements of the game can be modified, and how. After reading through this guide, a user should be capable of both editing creatures, entities, materials et al, and creating their own.<br />
<br />
Generally breaking stuff is fine - nothing that can be changed will affect the DF executable, and new additions can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
This guide is based on a guide originally created for version 0.27.176.39c (originally put to type by one Teldin; page found [[40d:Modding guide|here]]) and has later been rewritten for 0.31.xx.xx by a few different authors, as per wiki tradition.<br />

== Basics of DF modding ==<br />
<br />
All the base data that can be edited by prospective modders can be found in the \raw\ folder. This folder contains two subfolders: "graphics" (where you insert [[Graphics set repository|graphics sets]]), and "objects", which contains all the data for generally everything in the game that is not hardcoded.<br />
<br />
Within the \raw\objects folder are a large number of text files - these are the [[raw file|raw files]], and editing them is quite easy - you can also create your own if you wish. For now, take a look at one of the existing files. It should look something like this:<br />
<br />
creature_standard<br />
<br />
[OBJECT:CREATURE]<br />
<br />
[CREATURE:DWARF]<br />
[DESCRIPTION:A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.]<br />
[NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]<br />
[CREATURE_TILE:1][COLOR:3:0:0]<br />
[CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:2]<br />
...<br />
<br />
As you can see, each file comprises a header string stating the file name, a second header stating the type of object data it contains, followed by the contents of the file itself. These are all necessary elements of the file, and without them, the file won't be parsed correctly by the game. You may have also noticed the file naming scheme - this is also important; files containing creatures have names starting with "creature_", entity file names must begin with "entity_", etc..<br />
<br />
Below the headers, there begins a list of entries. Each entry is made up of its own header (in this case, "[CREATURE:DWARF]"), again stating the type of object, and then the object's unique identifier - if an indentifier isn't unique, the game will mess up and you'll get some serious, and potentially very trippy, errors. Below that, we have the body of the entry, which determines the entry's specific properties.<br />
<br />
The body of an entry is made up of a series of "tokens", which are essentially flags that can be added or removed to affect the entry's attributes. Most of these effects are hardcoded: for example, it's possible to make a creature only eat meat with the [CARNIVOROUS] token, but it's impossible to create your own token detailing a specific diet for the creature.<br />
<br />
Before we continue, a few key things to remember when modding the raw files:<br />
<br />
* Try to avoid modifying the existing raw files when adding objects. It makes removing mods far easier.<br />
* If you want to edit an already-existing creature, always back up the files you plan on editing to a different location. Since v0.31.22, the game no longer loads backup files, but duplicate entries are still a very bad thing.<br />
* When a new world is generated, all the raw files get copied into a \raw\ folder within the applicable save folder. If you want to change something within a world that's already been generated, you'll have to edit those files, not the ones in ~DF\raw\objects.<br />
* There's nothing stopping you from just copying an existing creature/entity/whatever, changing the identifier, and modifying it. This can save you a lot of time, especially when it comes to entities... which are coincidentally what we'll be talking about next.<br />
<br />
== Modding civilizations (entities) ==<br />
<br />
Entities - the objects that determine how civilisations work - are stored in entity_default.txt (though, like all other files, you may add more). They follow the same format as any other raw file:<br />
<br />
entity_default<br />
<br />
[OBJECT:ENTITY]<br />
<br />
[ENTITY:ENTITYNAME]<br />
[CREATURE:CREATURETYPE]<br />
[TRANSLATION:LANGUAGETYPE]<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:BIOMETOKEN:FREQENCY]<br />
...[OTHER TAGS]...<br />
<br />
Most of the time, it doesn't matter which order these tokens are in or where they're placed so long as they're below the "ENTITY:" identifier, but there are some important exceptions in the case of other files, especially creatures, which can contain a lot of "nested" tokens.<br />
<br />
"[CREATURE:]" links the civilization with a specific creature defined in a creature file. This is the creature that'll be making up the entity's population, and will therefore be the creature you'll be playing as in fortress or adventure mode if the entity is a playable one. For example, if you wanted to do something silly, you could switch the "CREATURE:DWARF" entry in entity_default.txt with "CREATURE:ELF" and you would be marching elves around in fortress mode, although they would still use dwarven technology and language and names and so forth.<br />
<br />
Oh, and before you get any funny ideas - it ''is'' possible to define more than one creature for a civ, but that won't work in quite the way you probably expect: later on, in the creature section, you'll learn about castes, which will provide a much more viable alternative, so try to bear with us until then.<br />
<br />
"[TRANSLATION:]" defines the language file that the entity will be using, which will determine what their untranslated words are for things. This doesn't determine which words they use for naming things, only the way those words are spelt. The default language files are HUMAN, DWARF, ELF, and GOBLIN.<br />
<br />
"[BIOME_SUPPORT:]" defines the biomes that civs will attempt to settle in. The "FREQUENCY" value determines the likelyhood of them building there, but also raises an important point: most of the values you'll be setting for things are relative to each other. If one was to type:<br />
<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:1]<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:SAVANNA:2]<br />
<br />
This would have very much the same effect as:<br />
<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:5]<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:SAVANNA:10]<br />
<br />
This holds true for a lot of values throughout the files, excluding when it simply doesn't make sense, such as in materials.<br />
<br />
You can find many details about the rest of the civilization tokens [[entity token|here]]. Besides those mentioned, some fundamental ones are the CIV_CONTROLLABLE token, which lets you control the civ in fortress mode, the INDIV_CONTROLLABLE token, which allows you to play the civ in adventure mode as an outsider, and the ADVENTURE_TIER token, which allows you to play a civ native (non-outsider) in adventure mode. Other tokens that you should pay attention to are START_BIOME and the ones regarding sites, but in general, you can just run through the aformentioned list and add or remove what you want.<br />
<br />
If you have more than one civ with the CIV_CONTROLLABLE token, all the available civs from those entities will appear in the group selection section on the embark screen. It may not be immediately obvious from which species each civ may be - while this can be determined from legends mode, the topmost species in the "neighbors" display in the embark screen is always the same as the currently selected species; if your group is dwarven, dwarves will be topmost, whilst (say) elves will be topmost if your chosen group is elven. By default, the game seems to choose a civ (and therefore a species if there is more than one) at random.<br />
<br />
You can also attempt to discern the civ yourself by the names it uses - this is the realm of "symbols", collections of words centered around a specific concept. The civ will use the words comprising whatever symbols are applicable to it for various things. This association might be a little obfuscating at first, so I'll run through it. Let's refer to the DWARF entity:<br />
<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:NAME_WAR]<br />
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:VIOLENT]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE:NAME_BATTLE]<br />
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE:VIOLENT]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:SIEGE:NAME_SIEGE]<br />
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:SIEGE:VIOLENT]<br />
<br />
Here we can see that dwarves will generally name their wars first after words in the "NAME_WAR" symbol group, and then after words in the "VIOLENT" symbol group. This might, for example, result in a war being named "The War of Carnage". The symbols used for the other types of conflict are arrayed in a similar fashion. It would be trivial to replace the instances of VIOLENT with, say, PEACE and end up with a battle called "The Clash of Calm" or something.<br />
<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:ROAD:NAME_ROAD]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:TUNNEL:NAME_TUNNEL]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:BRIDGE:NAME_BRIDGE]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:WALL:NAME_WALL]<br />
<br />
The above applies here. Dwarves are fond of naming their roads and tunnels after roads and tunnels.<br />
<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:ARTIFICE]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:EARTH]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:DOMESTIC]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:SUBORDINATE]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:EVIL]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UNTOWARD]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:FLOWERY]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:NEGATIVE]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UGLY]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:NEGATOR]<br />
<br />
This section deals with everything else. The things that haven't already been dealt with (hence the "REMAINING") - such as site names, kingdom names, the names of individuals, and such - will have names from the ARTIFICE and EARTH symbol groups. After that the dwarf entity is told to cull all innapropriate symbols - this applies to everything (hence the "ALL") so if the game happens to choose a symbol associated with, say, EVIL for one of the battles, it'll scrap that name and try again. This sort of thing adds a lot of flavour to DF's entities and can account for a lot of a civ's percieved personality.<br />
<br />
Another basic thing to note: any entity token that's dealing with weapons, armor, clothing, etc., will state the items that the civ can build natively, not necessarily the ones they can wear or use. For example, you could create a species with no clothes specified, but then rob a clothes shop in adventurer mode and wear everything you want, or give them weapons that are too large to wield and they could sell them, but not use them. <br />
<br />
An easy method of creating a civilization is just to copy-paste a similar one to the bottom of the entity_default.txt file and edit things to your liking. Remember to always change the civ's "ENTITY:" identifier! This can be anything so long as it's not already existing.<br />
<br />
At the end of some of the default entries you'll find a list of positions, both ones that'll directly affect you in fort mode (such as nobles) and ones that'll primarily affect worldgen and adventure mode. A list of the tokens applicable to positions can be found [[position token|here]]; they don't require a great deal of explaination.<br />
<br />
== Modding the creatures ==<br />
<br />
Creature modding is great fun. You can change nearly any aspect of a creature or make your own completely from scratch.<br />
<br />
Modding creatures is very similar to modding civs: it's just a matter of editing, adding, or removing tokens, enclosed in square brackets underneath the creature's [CREATURE:] header. The creature entries contain all of the information about each and every non-random creature in the game, from animals to dwarves to goblins to even caravan wagons. A lot of the creature tokens are fairly self-explanatory; you can find a list of such tokens [[creature token|here]]. But before you start creating your own creatures, you'll want to learn how the tissues system works.<br />
<br />
=== Creature materials and tissues ===<br />
<br />
In the most basic sense, a creature is a series of bodyparts. These parts are defined in their own file, and we'll talk about them later. As a specific aspect of how creatures work which throws off a lot of prospective modders is the relationship between bodyparts, tissues, and materials. We're going to show you part of the creature entry for a bronze colossus (bear with us):<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES]<br />
[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]<br />
[TISSUE:BRONZE]<br />
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]<br />
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]<br />
[MUSCULAR]<br />
[FUNCTIONAL]<br />
[STRUCTURAL]<br />
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]<br />
[CONNECTS]<br />
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]<br />
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
At the top, we can see the "BODY:" token, followed by a list of bodyparts. As you've probably guessed, these parts make up the physical form of the colossus. But the colossus has to be made out of something - it has to have tissues. And those tissues also have to be made out of something - in this case, bronze.<br />
<br />
Below the BODY token you'll see a TISSUE token, followed by an identifier, much like the others we've seen. The TISSUE block is determining how the tissue works, and which purposes it'll serve. As the colossus is just going to be made out of this one tissue, this tissue needs to act like bone, muscle, and everything else combined, hence the MUSCULAR, FUNCTIONAL and STRUCTURAL tokens. The tissue also references a material - INORGANIC:BRONZE - the properties of which are declared in the inorganic materials file, and the tissue is subsequently made out of this material. With us so far?<br />
<br />
Below the tissue definition is the TISSUE_LAYER line. TISSUE_LAYER allows you to control where each tissue is applied. Its first argument defines if it's to search by bodypart category (BY_CATEGORY), bodypart type (BY_TYPE), or look for a specific part (BY_TOKEN). That's followed by the parts argument itself, which is in this case ALL (so the game's looking for parts in all categories, which is to say, every bodypart). This is followed by the tissue to be applied, BRONZE. So the TISSUE_LAYER token is telling the game to select all bodyparts in every category and make them out of the tissue "BRONZE". The colossus is now made of bronze.<br />
<br />
By now you're probably thinking "Wow, if this was for a creature made out of however many tissues, this would be amazingly longwinded". And you're right. Luckily, there are two methods by which we can speed things up a lot.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there are material and tissue templates. Let's say you were going to make a lot of creatures out of bronze, and you didn't want to have to copy and paste the bronze tissue all over the place. Instead, you create a tissue template. This goes, as you've probably guessed, in a tissue template file.<br />
<br />
[TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRONZE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]<br />
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]<br />
[MUSCULAR]<br />
[FUNCTIONAL]<br />
[STRUCTURAL]<br />
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]<br />
[CONNECTS]<br />
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]<br />
<br />
Now, instead of applying the tissue to each and every bronze creature you're making, you can just refer to the template:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES]<br />
[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRONZE:BRONZE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
Material templates work in the same way, but refer to materials instead of tissues.<br />
<br />
However, if we're looking at something like a dwarf, even with the templates, editing can get very slow indeed:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SKIN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:FAT:FAT_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:MUSCLE:MUSCLE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BONE:BONE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CARTILAGE:CARTILAGE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HAIR:HAIR_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:TOOTH:TOOTH_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:EYE:EYE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:NERVE:NERVE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BRAIN:BRAIN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LUNG:LUNG_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HEART:HEART_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LIVER:LIVER_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:GUT:GUT_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STOMACH:STOMACH_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:PANCREAS:PANCREAS_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SPLEEN:SPLEEN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:KIDNEY:KIDNEY_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SKIN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:FAT:FAT_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:MUSCLE:MUSCLE_TEMPLATE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
This is where body detail plans come in. Detail plans, of course, have their own file, and they are designed to help automate some of the more common processes in creature creation. The first entry in b_detail_plan_default.txt does exactly what we've been trying to do above: it takes all the common materials and shoves them into one plan, which can be referenced with a single token.<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
...<br />
<br />
Much easier. But what about the TISSUE_LAYER tokens? Will we have to type out all of those manually?<br />
<br />
Nope, detail plans have that covered as well. It's possible to place variable arguments into a detail plan. For example:<br />
<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:ARM:ARG4:25:ARG3:25:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER:ARG4:25:ARG3:25:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
...<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:NOSE:ARG5:4:ARG1:1]<br />
...<br />
<br />
First an argument is placed in the plan (ARG1, ARG2 etc.), followed by the thickness of the tissue that will be inserted in place of the argument. So when we reference the VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS plan, we'll be able to do something like this:<br />
<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
<br />
ARG1 in the detail plan is replaced by SKIN, the first tissue we entered. ARG2 is replaced by FAT, ARG3 by muscle, ARG4 by bone, and ARG5 by CARTILAGE. Hence, our creature's bodypart designated as BODY is made up of SKIN with thickness 1, FAT with thickness 5, and MUSCLE with thickness 50. Its nose is made up of SKIN (thickness 1) and CARTILAGE (thickness 4).<br />
<br />
Things left out of the body plans aside, our dwarf's entire body, material, tissue and tissue layer tokens have been boiled down to this:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
This can save you a lot of time and space if you're making lots of changes common to many creatures. In general, if you're making a creature that's fleshy or chitinous, there's detail plans already included in the game to help you out. You should only have to resort to declaring tissues individually (like our bronze colossus) if you're doing something really out-of-the-ordinary.<br />
<br />
Another great thing about templates (and so, detail plans) is that they can be modified after being declared. Let's say we wanted our dwarves to be perpetually on fire (don't ask). We declare the body stuff normally:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
We then select the appropriate material:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]<br />
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10600]<br />
...<br />
<br />
We don't want them burning to death, so we'll need to stop that from happening:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]<br />
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10600]<br />
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]<br />
[HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
Note that this makes use of DF's built-in temperature scale. You can read more about that [[temperature scale|on this page]]. We're also referencing material tokens, which we haven't gone over yet - we'll talk about making your own materials later.<br />
<br />
=== Creature castes ===<br />
<br />
Another potentially extremely powerful part of the creature raws is the caste system. The caste system handles both true biological castes and lesser variations, such as sexes.<br />
<br />
To understand the true potential of the caste system, we only need to take a look at the raws for antmen, found in creature_subterrenean.txt:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[CASTE:WORKER]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:worker ant woman:worker ant women:worker ant woman]<br />
Female, but non-breeding.<br />
[POP_RATIO:10000]<br />
[CASTE:SOLDIER]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:soldier ant woman:soldier ant women:soldier ant woman]<br />
Female, but non-breeding.<br />
[POP_RATIO:1000]<br />
[CASTE:DRONE]<br />
[MALE]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:drone ant man:drone ant men:drone ant man]<br />
[POP_RATIO:5]<br />
[CASTE:QUEEN]<br />
[FEMALE]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:queen ant woman:queen ant women:queen ant woman]<br />
[POP_RATIO:1]<br />
[SELECT_CASTE:WORKER]<br />
[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:SOLDIER]<br />
[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:QUEEN]<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH]<br />
[BODYGLOSS:INSECT_UPPERBODY:INSECT_LOWERBODY]<br />
[SELECT_CASTE:DRONE]<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH:2WINGS]<br />
[BODYGLOSS:INSECT_UPPERBODY:INSECT_LOWERBODY]<br />
[FLIER]<br />
[SELECT_CASTE:ALL]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:CHITIN:FAT:MUSCLE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_HEAD_POSITIONS]<br />
[ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]<br />
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]<br />
[ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]<br />
...<br />
<br />
It's evident that the process of creating and editing castes is comparable to the modifications we were making to tissues and materials earlier: A caste is declared, and modifications to the base creature are made. Declared castes can be selected and subsequently modified, again, just like tissues and materials.<br />
<br />
In this case, each caste is declared, given its own name, and a POP_RATIO, which determines how commonly a birth results in that caste - for every 10000 workers born, there'll be an average of 1000 soldiers, 5 drones and one queen. You've probably also noticed that the DRONE and QUEEN castes have the MALE and FEMALE tokens respectively - these tokens determine how breeding works. A creature without both a MALE caste and a FEMALE caste will be unable to breed (no asexual creatures yet, unfortunately). As they lack FEMALE, the workers and soldiers are unable to breed with the male drones.<br />
<br />
After this, there are some modifications to bodyparts. In this case, the drones have wings and the FLIER token, which the other castes lack. It's entirely possible for creatures of different castes to have completely different body stuctures, even to the extent that they don't resemble each other at all. If you read the section of this guide that dealt with entities, you may remember a passing mention of multi-creature civilisations and how they don't quite work as you may think they would. The castes system is your workaround. You could create a caste that is, for all intents and purposes, a human, and another caste of the same creature that acts exactly like a giant cave spider, put the creature in a civ, and get a human-spider civ. The only flaw in this approach is that the castes will interbreed.<br />
<br />
That's the most complex components of creature creation out of the way. You should find the rest trivial by comparison.<br />
<br />
== Modding items ==<br />
<br />
Items are fairly simple to deal with. By default, each item type is contained in its own file; this may help make browsing for a specific item easier, but from a purely technical point of view, it's possible to throw all items into one file. Unfortunately, item tokens don't seem to be especially well-documented (at least as not as well as the other object types), but you should be able to figure out most things by way of our explainations and your assumptions.<br />
<br />
Let's look at the entry for, of course, the thong:<br />
<br />
[ITEM_PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_THONG]<br />
[NAME:thong:thongs]<br />
[LAYER:UNDER]<br />
[COVERAGE:25]<br />
[LAYER_SIZE:10]<br />
[LAYER_PERMIT:30]<br />
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]<br />
[SOFT]<br />
[LEATHER]<br />
[STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_WOVEN_THREAD]<br />
<br />
Most of these are pretty obvious if one compares them to the other entries in the file. There's a layer for the item, determining where it's worn; a coverage value to determine how well it protects you from cold and other things; a size token to determine how much it counts for when it's under something else; a layer permit token to determine how much can be worn under it; and a material size token to determine how much raw material it takes to make it.<br />
<br />
Now, if you wanted to mod these to turn them into metal thongs (ouch!), you would simply have to add [METAL] to it somewhere. Simple! These tokens work by tying into material properties - some materials are designated as suitable for making hard items, some for soft, etc..<br />
<br />
Weapons involve a little more detail:<br />
<br />
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H]<br />
[NAME:two-handed sword:two-handed swords]<br />
[SIZE:900]<br />
[SKILL:SWORD]<br />
[TWO_HANDED:67500]<br />
[MINIMUM_SIZE:62500]<br />
[MATERIAL_SIZE:5]<br />
[ATTACK:EDGE:100000:8000:slash:slashes:NO_SUB:1250]<br />
[ATTACK:EDGE:50:4000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]<br />
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100000:8000:slap:slaps:flat:1250]<br />
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100:1000:strike:strikes:pommel:1000]<br />
<br />
SIZE determines how heavy the weapon is. This has a substantial effect on weapon effectiveness. SKILL determines which skill is used in using the weapon; a list of skills can be found [[skill token|on this page]]. MINIMUM_SIZE determines the minimum size a creature must be before the weapon can be wielded, while TWO_HANDED determines how large a creature must be in order to wield the weapon with one hand.<br />
<br />
Attacks take a little more explaination. The first value determines the contact area of the weapon's attack; this should be high for slashing weapons and low for bludgeoning, piercing and poking ones. The second value determines how deep the weapon penetrates - for BLUNT attacks this value is ignored as they're not supposed to penetrate anyway, but in the case of EDGE attacks it should generally be lower for slashing attacks and higher for stabbing attacks.<br />
<br />
Following these are the adjectives used; they should be self-explanatory. Finally, we have the velocity modifier, which has a multiplying effect on the weapon's size for the purposes of determining how powerful it is in combat.<br />
<br />
Other, more miscellaneous items are generally simple and shouldn't require any further explanation.<br />
<br />
Once you've made an item, you just add it to the civ entry so a civilization can actually craft it, and it's done.<br />
<br />
== Modding language files ==<br />
<br />
Let's say you added a whole new species. Sure, you could just swipe one of the existing translation files and steal their language for your species, but that's the lazy way! If you want to create a whole new language, it's very simple.<br />
<br />
First, you'd need a whole new language_RACE file, such as language_LIZARDMAN.txt, along with "language_LIZARDMAN" at the top of the file proceeded by [OBJECT:LANGUAGE] and [TRANSLATION:LIZARDMAN]. After that, it's just a matter of copy-pasting one of the existing language lists and editing the finished 'translated' word. That's it! Then just add the translation link to your civ in entity_default.txt and it'll be added to the game on worldgen.<br />
<br />
== Modding body parts ==<br />
<br />
Imagine you have this fantastic idea for a multi-tentacled winged spider-monster. Sounds great! But in order to make this a reality you may need to create a new set of body parts for it. That's no problem! Making body parts is easy, though it may look complicated at first. <br />
<br />
All of the default body definitions are located in body_default.txt and then linked to a creature in the creature's entry. We've talked about how bodyparts make up creatures earlier, in the creature section. You can mix and match them in the creature entry and it makes no difference, as long as they're there: each bodypart will link itself to the appropriate connection automatically when the creature is first created.<br />
<br />
Body parts work by sections: you can add as many sections as you want to a bodypart definition, but generally you should keep it fairly low for ease of use. Each body section entry is in the, very simple, format:<br />
<br />
[BODY:BODYNAME]<br />
[BP:TOKENID:name][TOKENSGOHERE][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:][CATEGORY:WHATEVER]<br />
<br />
The most important tokens are "CONTYPE" and "CON": CONTYPE means the bodypart in question is connected to a certain ''type'' of bodypart, while CON means it's connected to a ''specific'' one. TOKENID is yet another identifier, which should be unique, as it's referenced every time something uses CON or BY_TOKEN. DEFAULT_RELSIZE defines, of course, what the bodypart's size is in relation to the other parts. CATEGORY defines a category for the part, which can be unique or shared with other parts. This is referenced whenever BY_CATEGORY is used.<br />
<br />
A list of bodypart tokens can be found [[body token|here]].<br />
<br />
Let's take a simple example, a head:<br />
<br />
[BODY:BASIC_HEAD]<br />
[BP:HD:head:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]<br />
<br />
It connects directly to an upper body.<br />
<br />
[BODY:2EYES]<br />
[BP:REYE:right eye:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][SIGHT][EMBEDDED][SMALL][RIGHT][CATEGORY:EYE]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:5]<br />
[BP:LEYE:left eye:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][SIGHT][EMBEDDED][SMALL][LEFT][CATEGORY:EYE]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:5]<br />
<br />
These are a pair of eyes, connecting to the head.<br />
<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID]<br />
[BP:UB:upper body:upper bodies][UPPERBODY][CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1000]<br />
[BP:LB:lower body:lower bodies][CON:UB][LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1000]<br />
[BP:HD:head:STP][CON:UB][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]<br />
[BP:RUA:right upper arm:STP][CON:UB][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:LUA:left upper arm:STP][CON:UB][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:RLA:right lower arm:STP][CON:RUA][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:LLA:left lower arm:STP][CON:LUA][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:RH:right hand:STP][CON:RLA][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:HAND]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]<br />
[BP:LH:left hand:STP][CON:LLA][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:HAND]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]<br />
[BP:RUL:right upper leg:STP][CON:LB][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]<br />
[BP:LUL:left upper leg:STP][CON:LB][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]<br />
[BP:RLL:right lower leg:STP][CON:RUL][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:LEG_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]<br />
[BP:LLL:left lower leg:STP][CON:LUL][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:LEG_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]<br />
[BP:RF:right foot:right feet][CON:RLL][STANCE][RIGHT][CATEGORY:FOOT]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:120]<br />
[BP:LF:left foot:left feet][CON:LLL][STANCE][LEFT][CATEGORY:FOOT]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:120]<br />
<br />
An entire humanoid body. The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone...<br />
<br />
"BODYGLOSS" entries, which you can sometimes find applied to creature entries, are simply replacement words for specific part name strings in a creature. For example, you'll find the bodygloss [BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND:hand:claw] in body_default.txt; you can then use this in a creature via "[BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND]" and it'll replace all instances of "hand" with "claw" in that creature. Be warned, however—if you were to, say make a bodygloss [BODYGLOSS:EARSTALK:ear:stalk:ears:stalk], it would not only change "ear" and "ears" to "stalk" and "stalks", it would also change "h'''ear'''t" to "h'''stalk'''t"! For all intents and purposes the body part will still function as the proper part, though.<br />
<br />
== Plants ==<br />
<br />
Plants are, again, not unlike creatures. With what you've learned so far in regard to tokens and the materials system, running through the notes included in plant_standard.txt should explain most things. [[Plant token|Here's the list of plant-specific tokens]].<br />
<br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
Coming sooner rather than later<br />
<br />
== Materials ==<br />
<br />
As we've seen when talking about creatures, materials are vital. Materials show up in two forms: material templates, which generally show up in creatures, and specific materials (designated as "inorganic"), which are (by default, at least) consigned purely to metal and stone types.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at METAL_TEMPLATE in material_template_default.txt. It's evident that most of the basic properties of metals are already defined in the template - it goes red and melts at a high enough temperature, it's heavy, and (as noted by the very bottom token) is a metal. We already know just how useful templates can be to creatures, and the same applies to other materials.<br />
<br />
Now let's take a look at inorganic_metal.txt. You can see that the metals here refer to the templates, and, just like we did with creatures, then modify the properties of that template and expand upon it.<br />
<br />
Finally, let's look at inorganic_stone_mineral.txt. Here we can see that in addition to the changes made to the template, there are also ENVIRONMENT tokens - these tell the game where to place these minerals during worldgen.<br />
<br />
[[material definition token|Here's a list of material tokens]]. It should also help you out with any modifications you want to make regarding those creature modifications we were making a while back. See, it all ties together in the end. The beauty of the current materials system is that there's actually very little difference between, say, leather and iron - they're fundamentally the same thing, just with different properties, which is how things really should be.<br />
<br />

This is intended to be a guide to inform those new to DF modding on what elements of the game can be modified, and how. After reading through this guide, a user should be capable of both editing creatures, entities, materials et al, and creating their own.<br />
<br />
Generally breaking stuff is fine - nothing that can be changed will affect the DF executable, and new additions can be easily removed.<br />
<br />
This guide is based on a guide originally created for version 0.27.176.39c (originally put to type by one Teldin; page found [[40d:Modding guide|here]]) and has later been rewritten for 0.31.xx.xx by a few different authors, as per wiki tradition.<br />
<br />

<br />
= Modding Guide =<br />
<br />
== Basics of DF modding ==<br />
<br />
All the base data that can be edited by prospective modders can be found in the \raw\ folder. This folder contains two subfolders: "graphics" (where you insert {{L|Graphics set repository|graphics sets}}), and "objects", which contains all the data for generally everything in the game that is not hardcoded (randomly created creatures aside).<br />
<br />
Within the \raw\objects folder are a large number of text files - these are the {{L|raw file|raw files}}, and editing them is quite easy - you can also create your own if you wish. For now, take a look at one of the existing files. It should look something like this:<br />
<br />
creature_standard<br />
<br />
[OBJECT:CREATURE]<br />
<br />
[CREATURE:DWARF]<br />
[DESCRIPTION:A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.]<br />
[NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]<br />
[CREATURE_TILE:1][COLOR:3:0:0]<br />
[CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:2]<br />
...<br />
<br />
As you can see, each file is comprised of a header string stating the file name, a second header stating the type of object data it contains, followed by the contents of the file itself. These are all necessary elements of the file, and without them, the file won't be parsed correctly by the game. You may have also noticed the file naming scheme - this is also important; files containing creatures have names starting with "creature_", entity file names must begin with "entity_", etc..<br />
<br />
Below the headers, there begins a list of entries. Each entry is made up of its own header (in this case, "[CREATURE:DWARF]"), again stating the type of object, and then the object's unique identifier - if an indentifier isn't unique, the game will mess up and you'll get some serious, and potentially very trippy, errors. Below that, we have the body of the entry, which determines the entry's specific properties.<br />
<br />
The body of an entry is made up of a series of "tokens", which are essentially flags that can be added or removed to affect the entry's attributes. Most of these effects are hardcoded: for example, it's possible to make a creature only eat meat with the [CARNIVOROUS] token, but it's impossible to create your own token detailing a specific diet for the creature.<br />
<br />
Before we continue, a few key things to remember when modding the raw files:<br />
<br />
* Try to avoid modifying the existing raw files when adding objects. It makes removing mods far easier.<br />
* If you want to edit an already-existing creature, always back up the files you plan on editing to a different location. Since v0.31.22, the game no longer loads backup files, but duplicate entries are still a very bad thing.<br />
* When a new world is generated, all the raw files get copied into a \raw\ folder within the applicable save folder. If you want to change something within a world that's already been generated, you'll have to edit those files, not the ones in ~DF\raw\objects.<br />
* There's nothing stopping you from just copying an existing creature/entity/whatever, changing the identifier, and modifying it. This can save you a lot of time, especially when it comes to entities... which are coincidentally what we'll be talking about next.<br />
<br />
== Modding civilizations (entities) ==<br />
<br />
Entities - the objects that determine how civilisations work - are stored in entity_default.txt (though, like all other files, you may add more). They follow the same format as any other raw file:<br />
<br />
entity_default<br />
<br />
[OBJECT:ENTITY]<br />
<br />
[ENTITY:ENTITYNAME]<br />
[CREATURE:CREATURETYPE]<br />
[TRANSLATION:LANGUAGETYPE]<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:BIOMETOKEN:FREQENCY]<br />
...[OTHER TAGS]...<br />
<br />
Most of the time, it doesn't matter which order these tokens are in or where they're placed so long as they're below the "ENTITY:" identifier, but there are some important exceptions in the case of other files, especially creatures, which can contain a lot of "nested" tokens.<br />
<br />
"[CREATURE:]" links the civilization with a specific creature defined in a creature file. This is the creature that'll be making up the entity's population, and will therefore be the creature you'll be playing as in fortress or adventure mode if the entity is a playable one. For example, if you wanted to do something silly, you could switch the "CREATURE:DWARF" entry in entity_default.txt with "CREATURE:ELF" and you would be marching elves around in fortress mode, although they would still use dwarven technology and language and names and so forth.<br />
<br />
Oh, and before you get any funny ideas - it ''is'' possible to define more than one creature for a civ, but that won't work in quite the way you probably expect: later on, in the creature section, you'll learn about castes, which will provide a much more viable alternative, so try to bear with us until then.<br />
<br />
"[TRANSLATION:]" defines the language file that the entity will be using, which will determine what their untranslated words are for things. This doesn't determine which words they use for naming things, only the way those words are spelt. The default language files are HUMAN, DWARF, ELF, and GOBLIN.<br />
<br />
"[BIOME_SUPPORT:]" defines the biomes that civs will attempt to settle in. The "FREQUENCY" value determines the likelyhood of them building there, but also raises an important point: most of the values you'll be setting for things are relative to each other. If one was to type:<br />
<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:1]<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:SAVANNA:2]<br />
<br />
This would have very much the same effect as:<br />
<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:5]<br />
[BIOME_SUPPORT:SAVANNA:10]<br />
<br />
This holds true for a lot of values throughout the files, excluding when it simply doesn't make sense, such as in materials.<br />
<br />
You can find many details about the rest of the civilization tokens {{L|entity token|here}}. Besides those mentioned, some fundamental ones are the CIV_CONTROLLABLE token, which lets you control the civ in fortress mode, the INDIV_CONTROLLABLE token, which allows you to play the civ in adventure mode as an outsider, and the ADVENTURE_TIER token, which allows you to play a civ native (non-outsider) in adventure mode. Other tokens that you should pay attention to are START_BIOME and the ones regarding sites, but in general, you can just run through the aformentioned list and add or remove what you want.<br />
<br />
If you have more than one civ with the CIV_CONTROLLABLE token, all the available civs from those entities will appear in the group selection section on the embark screen. It may not be immediately obvious from which species each civ may be - while this can be determined from legends mode, the topmost species in the "neighbors" display in the embark screen is always the same as the currently selected species; if your group is dwarven, dwarves will be topmost, whilst (say) elves will be topmost if your chosen group is elven. By default, the game seems to choose a civ (and therefore a species if there is more than one) at random.<br />
<br />
You can also attempt to discern the civ yourself by the names it uses - this is the realm of "symbols", collections of words centered around a specific concept. The civ will use the words comprising whatever symbols are applicable to it for various things. This association might be a little obfuscating at first, so I'll run through it. Let's refer to the DWARF entity:<br />
<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:NAME_WAR]<br />
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:VIOLENT]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE:NAME_BATTLE]<br />
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE:VIOLENT]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:SIEGE:NAME_SIEGE]<br />
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:SIEGE:VIOLENT]<br />
<br />
Here we can see that dwarves will generally name their wars first after words in the "NAME_WAR" symbol group, and then after words in the "VIOLENT" symbol group. This might, for example, result in a war being named "The War of Carnage". The symbols used for the other types of conflict are arrayed in a similar fashion. It would be trivial to replace the instances of VIOLENT with, say, PEACE and end up with a battle called "The Clash of Calm" or something.<br />
<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:ROAD:NAME_ROAD]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:TUNNEL:NAME_TUNNEL]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:BRIDGE:NAME_BRIDGE]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:WALL:NAME_WALL]<br />
<br />
The above applies here. Dwarves are fond of naming their roads and tunnels after roads and tunnels.<br />
<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:ARTIFICE]<br />
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:EARTH]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:DOMESTIC]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:SUBORDINATE]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:EVIL]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UNTOWARD]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:FLOWERY]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:NEGATIVE]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UGLY]<br />
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:NEGATOR]<br />
<br />
This section deals with everything else. The things that haven't already been dealt with (hence the "REMAINING") - such as site names, kingdom names, the names of individuals, and such - will have names from the ARTIFICE and EARTH symbol groups. After that the dwarf entity is told to cull all innapropriate symbols - this applies to everything (hence the "ALL") so if the game happens to choose a symbol associated with, say, EVIL for one of the battles, it'll scrap that name and try again. This sort of thing adds a lot of flavour to DF's entities and can account for a lot of a civ's percieved personality.<br />
<br />
Another basic thing to note: any entity token that's dealing with weapons, armor, clothing, etc., will state the items that the civ can build natively, not necessarily the ones they can wear or use. For example, you could create a species with no clothes specified, but then rob a clothes shop in adventurer mode and wear everything you want, or give them weapons that are too large to wield and they could sell them, but not use them. <br />
<br />
An easy method of creating a civilization is just to copy-paste a similar one to the bottom of the entity_default.txt file and edit things to your liking. Remember to always change the civ's "ENTITY:" identifier! This can be anything so long as it's not already existing.<br />
<br />
At the end of some of the default entries you'll find a list of positions, both ones that'll directly affect you in fort mode (such as nobles) and ones that'll primarily affect worldgen and adventure mode. A list of the tokens applicable to positions can be found {{L|position token|here}}; they don't require a great deal of explaination.<br />
<br />
== Modding the creatures ==<br />
<br />
Creature modding is great fun. You can change nearly any aspect of a creature or make your own completely from scratch.<br />
<br />
Modding creatures is very similar to modding civs: it's just a matter of editing, adding, or removing tokens, enclosed in square brackets underneath the creature's [CREATURE:] header. The creature entries contain all of the information about each and every non-random creature in the game, from animals to dwarves to goblins to even caravan wagons. A lot of the creature tokens are fairly self-explanatory; you can find a list of such tokens {{L|creature token|here}}. But before you start creating your own creatures, you'll want to learn how the tissues system works.<br />
<br />
=== Creature materials and tissues ===<br />
<br />
In the most basic sense, a creature is a series of bodyparts. These parts are defined in their own file, and we'll talk about them later. As a specific aspect of how creatures work which throws off a lot of prospective modders is the relationship between bodyparts, tissues, and materials. We're going to show you part of the creature entry for a bronze colossus (bear with us):<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES]<br />
[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]<br />
[TISSUE:BRONZE]<br />
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]<br />
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]<br />
[MUSCULAR]<br />
[FUNCTIONAL]<br />
[STRUCTURAL]<br />
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]<br />
[CONNECTS]<br />
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]<br />
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
At the top, we can see the "BODY:" token, followed by a list of bodyparts. As you've probably guessed, these parts make up the physical form of the colossus. But the colossus has to be made out of something - it has to have tissues. And those tissues also have to be made out of something - in this case, bronze.<br />
<br />
Below the BODY token you'll see a TISSUE token, followed by an identifier, much like the others we've seen. The TISSUE block is determining how the tissue works, and which purposes it'll serve. As the colossus is just going to be made out of this one tissue, this tissue needs to act like bone, muscle, and everything else combined, hence the MUSCULAR, FUNCTIONAL and STRUCTURAL tokens. The tissue also references a material - INORGANIC:BRONZE - the properties of which are declared in the inorganic materials file, and the tissue is subsequently made out of this material. With us so far?<br />
<br />
Below the tissue definition is the TISSUE_LAYER line. TISSUE_LAYER allows you to control where each tissue is applied. Its first argument defines if it's to search by bodypart category (BY_CATEGORY), bodypart type (BY_TYPE), or look for a specific part (BY_TOKEN). That's followed by the parts argument itself, which is in this case ALL (so the game's looking for parts in all categories, which is to say, every bodypart). This is followed by the tissue to be applied, BRONZE. So the TISSUE_LAYER token is telling the game to select all bodyparts in every category and make them out of the tissue "BRONZE". The colossus is now made of bronze.<br />
<br />
By now you're probably thinking "Wow, if this was for a creature made out of however many tissues, this would be amazingly longwinded". And you're right. Luckily, there are two methods by which we can speed things up a lot.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there are material and tissue templates. Let's say you were going to make a lot of creatures out of bronze, and you didn't want to have to copy and paste the bronze tissue all over the place. Instead, you create a tissue template. This goes, as you've probably guessed, in a tissue template file.<br />
<br />
[TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRONZE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]<br />
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]<br />
[MUSCULAR]<br />
[FUNCTIONAL]<br />
[STRUCTURAL]<br />
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]<br />
[CONNECTS]<br />
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]<br />
<br />
Now, instead of applying the tissue to each and every bronze creature you're making, you can just refer to the template:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES]<br />
[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRONZE:BRONZE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
Material templates work in the same way, but refer to materials instead of tissues.<br />
<br />
However, if we're looking at something like a dwarf, even with the templates, editing can get very slow indeed:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SKIN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:FAT:FAT_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:MUSCLE:MUSCLE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BONE:BONE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CARTILAGE:CARTILAGE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HAIR:HAIR_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:TOOTH:TOOTH_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:EYE:EYE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:NERVE:NERVE_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BRAIN:BRAIN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LUNG:LUNG_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HEART:HEART_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LIVER:LIVER_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:GUT:GUT_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STOMACH:STOMACH_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:PANCREAS:PANCREAS_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SPLEEN:SPLEEN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:KIDNEY:KIDNEY_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SKIN_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:FAT:FAT_TEMPLATE]<br />
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:MUSCLE:MUSCLE_TEMPLATE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
This is where body detail plans come in. Detail plans, of course, have their own file, and they are designed to help automate some of the more common processes in creature creation. The first entry in b_detail_plan_default.txt does exactly what we've been trying to do above: it takes all the common materials and shoves them into one plan, which can be referenced with a single token.<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
...<br />
<br />
Much easier. But what about the TISSUE_LAYER tokens? Will we have to type out all of those manually?<br />
<br />
Nope, detail plans have that covered as well. It's possible to place variable arguments into a detail plan. For example:<br />
<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:ARM:ARG4:25:ARG3:25:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER:ARG4:25:ARG3:25:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]<br />
...<br />
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:NOSE:ARG5:4:ARG1:1]<br />
...<br />
<br />
First an argument is placed in the plan (ARG1, ARG2 etc.), followed by the thickness of the tissue that will be inserted in place of the argument. So when we reference the VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS plan, we'll be able to do something like this:<br />
<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
<br />
ARG1 in the detail plan is replaced by SKIN, the first tissue we entered. ARG2 is replaced by FAT, ARG3 by muscle, ARG4 by bone, and ARG5 by CARTILAGE. Hence, our creature's bodypart designated as BODY is made up of SKIN with thickness 1, FAT with thickness 5, and MUSCLE with thickness 50. Its nose is made up of SKIN (thickness 1) and CARTILAGE (thickness 4).<br />
<br />
Things left out of the body plans aside, our dwarf's entire body, material, tissue and tissue layer tokens have been boiled down to this:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
This can save you a lot of time and space if you're making lots of changes common to many creatures. In general, if you're making a creature that's fleshy or chitinous, there's detail plans already included in the game to help you out. You should only have to resort to declaring tissues individually (like our bronze colossus) if you're doing something really out-of-the-ordinary.<br />
<br />
Another great thing about templates (and so, detail plans) is that they can be modified after being declared. Let's say we wanted our dwarves to be perpetually on fire (don't ask). We declare the body stuff normally:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
We then select the appropriate material:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]<br />
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10600]<br />
...<br />
<br />
We don't want them burning to death, so we'll need to stop that from happening:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:<br />
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]<br />
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]<br />
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10600]<br />
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]<br />
[HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]<br />
...<br />
<br />
Note that this makes use of DF's built-in temperature scale. You can read more about that {{L|temperature scale|on this page}}. We're also referencing material tokens, which we haven't gone over yet - we'll talk about making your own materials later.<br />
<br />
=== Creature castes ===<br />
<br />
Another potentially extremely powerful part of the creature raws is the caste system. The caste system handles both true biological castes and lesser variations, such as sexes.<br />
<br />
To understand the true potential of the caste system, we only need to take a look at the raws for antmen, found in creature_subterrenean.txt:<br />
<br />
...<br />
[CASTE:WORKER]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:worker ant woman:worker ant women:worker ant woman]<br />
Female, but non-breeding.<br />
[POP_RATIO:10000]<br />
[CASTE:SOLDIER]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:soldier ant woman:soldier ant women:soldier ant woman]<br />
Female, but non-breeding.<br />
[POP_RATIO:1000]<br />
[CASTE:DRONE]<br />
[MALE]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:drone ant man:drone ant men:drone ant man]<br />
[POP_RATIO:5]<br />
[CASTE:QUEEN]<br />
[FEMALE]<br />
[CASTE_NAME:queen ant woman:queen ant women:queen ant woman]<br />
[POP_RATIO:1]<br />
[SELECT_CASTE:WORKER]<br />
[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:SOLDIER]<br />
[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:QUEEN]<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH]<br />
[BODYGLOSS:INSECT_UPPERBODY:INSECT_LOWERBODY]<br />
[SELECT_CASTE:DRONE]<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH:2WINGS]<br />
[BODYGLOSS:INSECT_UPPERBODY:INSECT_LOWERBODY]<br />
[FLIER]<br />
[SELECT_CASTE:ALL]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_MATERIALS]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_TISSUES]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:CHITIN:FAT:MUSCLE]<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_HEAD_POSITIONS]<br />
[ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]<br />
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]<br />
[ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]<br />
...<br />
<br />
It's evident that the process of creating and editing castes is comparable to the modifications we were making to tissues and materials earlier: A caste is declared, and modifications to the base creature are made. Declared castes can be selected and subsequently modified, again, just like tissues and materials.<br />
<br />
In this case, each caste is declared, given its own name, and a POP_RATIO, which determines how commonly a birth results in that caste - for every 10000 workers born, there'll be an average of 1000 soldiers, 5 drones and one queen. You've probably also noticed that the DRONE and QUEEN castes have the MALE and FEMALE tokens respectively - these tokens determine how breeding works. A creature without both a MALE caste and a FEMALE caste will be unable to breed (no asexual creatures yet, unfortunately). As they lack FEMALE, the workers and soldiers are unable to breed with the male drones.<br />
<br />
After this, there are some modifications to bodyparts. In this case, the drones have wings and the FLIER token, which the other castes lack. It's entirely possible for creatures of different castes to have completely different body stuctures, even to the extent that they don't resemble each other at all. If you read the section of this guide that dealt with entities, you may remember a passing mention of multi-creature civilisations and how they don't quite work as you may think they would. The castes system is your workaround. You could create a caste that is, for all intents and purposes, a human, and another caste of the same creature that acts exactly like a giant cave spider, put the creature in a civ, and get a human-spider civ. The only flaw in this approach is that the castes will interbreed.<br />
<br />
That's the most complex components of creature creation out of the way. You should find the rest trivial by comparison.<br />
<br />
== Modding items ==<br />
<br />
Items are fairly simple to deal with. By default, each item type is contained in its own file; this may help make browsing for a specific item easier, but from a purely technical point of view, it's possible to throw all items into one file. Unfortunately, item tokens don't seem to be especially well-documented (at least as not as well as the other object types), but you should be able to figure out most things by way of our explainations and your assumptions.<br />
<br />
Let's look at the entry for, of course, the thong:<br />
<br />
[ITEM_PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_THONG]<br />
[NAME:thong:thongs]<br />
[LAYER:UNDER]<br />
[COVERAGE:25]<br />
[LAYER_SIZE:10]<br />
[LAYER_PERMIT:30]<br />
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]<br />
[SOFT]<br />
[LEATHER]<br />
[STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_WOVEN_THREAD]<br />
<br />
Most of these are pretty obvious if one compares them to the other entries in the file. There's a layer for the item, determining where it's worn; a coverage value to determine how well it protects you from cold and other things; a size token to determine how much it counts for when it's under something else; a layer permit token to determine how much can be worn under it; and a material size token to determine how much raw material it takes to make it.<br />
<br />
Now, if you wanted to mod these to turn them into metal thongs (ouch!), you would simply have to add [METAL] to it somewhere. Simple! These tokens work by tying into material properties - some materials are designated as suitable for making hard items, some for soft, etc..<br />
<br />
Weapons involve a little more detail:<br />
<br />
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H]<br />
[NAME:two-handed sword:two-handed swords]<br />
[SIZE:900]<br />
[SKILL:SWORD]<br />
[TWO_HANDED:67500]<br />
[MINIMUM_SIZE:62500]<br />
[MATERIAL_SIZE:5]<br />
[ATTACK:EDGE:100000:8000:slash:slashes:NO_SUB:1250]<br />
[ATTACK:EDGE:50:4000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]<br />
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100000:8000:slap:slaps:flat:1250]<br />
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100:1000:strike:strikes:pommel:1000]<br />
<br />
SIZE determines how heavy the weapon is. This has a substantial effect on weapon effectiveness. SKILL determines which skill is used in using the weapon; a list of skills can be found {{L|skill token|on this page}}. MINIMUM_SIZE determines the minimum size a creature must be before the weapon can be wielded, while TWO_HANDED determines how large a creature must be in order to wield the weapon with one hand.<br />
<br />
Attacks take a little more explaination. The first value determines the contact area of the weapon's attack; this should be high for slashing or bludgeoning weapons, and low for piercing and poking ones. The second value determines how deep the weapon penetrates - for BLUNT attacks this value is ignored as they're not supposed to penetrate anyway, but in the case of EDGE attacks it should generally be lower for slashing attacks and higher for stabbing attacks.<br />
<br />
Following these are the adjectives used; they should be self-explanatory. Finally, we have the velocity modifier, which has a multiplying effect on the weapon's size for the purposes of determining how powerful it is in combat.<br />
<br />
Other, more miscellaneous items are generally simple and shouldn't require any further explanation.<br />
<br />
Once you've made an item, you just add it to the civ entry so a civilization can actually craft it, and it's done.<br />
<br />
== Modding language files ==<br />
<br />
Let's say you added a whole new species. Sure, you could just swipe one of the existing translation files and steal their language for your species, but that's the lazy way! If you want to create a whole new language, it's very simple.<br />
<br />
First, you'd need a whole new language_RACE file, such as language_LIZARDMAN.txt, along with "language_LIZARDMAN" at the top of the file proceeded by [OBJECT:LANGUAGE] and [TRANSLATION:LIZARDMAN]. After that, it's just a matter of copy-pasting one of the existing language lists and editing the finished 'translated' word. That's it! Then just add the translation link to your civ in entity_default.txt and it'll be added to the game on worldgen.<br />
<br />
== Modding body parts ==<br />
<br />
Imagine you have this fantastic idea for a multi-tentacled winged spider-monster. Sounds great! But in order to make this a reality you may need to create a new set of body parts for it. That's no problem! Making body parts is easy, though it may look complicated at first. <br />
<br />
All of the default body definitions are located in body_default.txt and then linked to a creature in the creature's entry. We've talked about how bodyparts make up creatures earlier, in the creature section. You can mix and match them in the creature entry and it makes no difference, as long as they're there: each bodypart will link itself to the appropriate connection automatically when the creature is first created.<br />
<br />
Body parts work by sections: you can add as many sections as you want to a bodypart definition, but generally you should keep it fairly low for ease of use. Each body section entry is in the, very simple, format:<br />
<br />
[BODY:BODYNAME]<br />
[BP:TOKENID:name][TOKENSGOHERE][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:][CATEGORY:WHATEVER]<br />
<br />
The most important tokens are "CONTYPE" and "CON": CONTYPE means the bodypart in question is connected to a certain ''type'' of bodypart, while CON means it's connected to a ''specific'' one. TOKENID is yet another identifier, which should be unique, as it's referenced every time something uses CON or BY_TOKEN. DEFAULT_RELSIZE defines, of course, what the bodypart's size is in relation to the other parts. CATEGORY defines a category for the part, which can be unique or shared with other parts. This is referenced whenever BY_CATEGORY is used.<br />
<br />
A list of bodypart tokens can be found {{L|body token|here}}.<br />
<br />
Let's take a simple example, a head:<br />
<br />
[BODY:BASIC_HEAD]<br />
[BP:HD:head:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]<br />
<br />
It connects directly to an upper body.<br />
<br />
[BODY:2EYES]<br />
[BP:REYE:right eye:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][SIGHT][EMBEDDED][SMALL][RIGHT][CATEGORY:EYE]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:5]<br />
[BP:LEYE:left eye:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][SIGHT][EMBEDDED][SMALL][LEFT][CATEGORY:EYE]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:5]<br />
<br />
These are a pair of eyes, connecting to the head.<br />
<br />
[BODY:HUMANOID]<br />
[BP:UB:upper body:upper bodies][UPPERBODY][CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1000]<br />
[BP:LB:lower body:lower bodies][CON:UB][LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1000]<br />
[BP:HD:head:STP][CON:UB][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]<br />
[BP:RUA:right upper arm:STP][CON:UB][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:LUA:left upper arm:STP][CON:UB][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:RLA:right lower arm:STP][CON:RUA][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:LLA:left lower arm:STP][CON:LUA][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]<br />
[BP:RH:right hand:STP][CON:RLA][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:HAND]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]<br />
[BP:LH:left hand:STP][CON:LLA][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:HAND]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]<br />
[BP:RUL:right upper leg:STP][CON:LB][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]<br />
[BP:LUL:left upper leg:STP][CON:LB][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]<br />
[BP:RLL:right lower leg:STP][CON:RUL][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:LEG_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]<br />
[BP:LLL:left lower leg:STP][CON:LUL][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:LEG_LOWER]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]<br />
[BP:RF:right foot:right feet][CON:RLL][STANCE][RIGHT][CATEGORY:FOOT]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:120]<br />
[BP:LF:left foot:left feet][CON:LLL][STANCE][LEFT][CATEGORY:FOOT]<br />
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:120]<br />
<br />
An entire humanoid body. The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone...<br />
<br />
"BODYGLOSS" entries, which you can sometimes find applied to creature entries, are simply replacement words for specific part name strings in a creature. For example, you'll find the bodygloss [BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND:hand:claw] in body_default.txt; you can then use this in a creature via "[BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND]" and it'll replace all instances of "hand" with "claw" in that creature. Be warned, however—if you were to, say make a bodygloss [BODYGLOSS:EARSTALK:ear:stalk:ears:stalk], it would not only change "ear" and "ears" to "stalk" and "stalks", it would also change "h'''ear'''t" to "h'''stalk'''t"! For all intents and purposes the body part will still function as the proper part, though.<br />
<br />
== Plants ==<br />
<br />
Plants are, again, not unlike creatures. With what you've learned so far in regard to tokens and the materials system, running through the notes included in plant_standard.txt should explain most things. {{L|Plant token|Here's the list of plant-specific tokens}}.<br />
<br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
Coming sooner rather than later<br />
<br />
== Materials ==<br />
<br />
As we've seen when talking about creatures, materials are vital. Materials show up in two forms: material templates, which generally show up in creatures, and specific materials (designated as "inorganic"), which are (by default, at least) consigned purely to metal and stone types.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at METAL_TEMPLATE in material_template_default.txt. It's evident that most of the basic properties of metals are already defined in the template - it goes red and melts at a high enough temperature, it's heavy, and (as noted by the very bottom token) is a metal. We already know just how useful templates can be to creatures, and the same applies to other materials.<br />
<br />
Now let's take a look at inorganic_metal.txt. You can see that the metals here refer to the templates, and, just like we did with creatures, then modify the properties of that template and expand upon it.<br />
<br />
Finally, let's look at inorganic_stone_mineral.txt. Here we can see that in addition to the changes made to the template, there are also ENVIRONMENT tokens - these tell the game where to place these minerals during worldgen.<br />
<br />
{{L|material definition token|Here's a list of material tokens}}. It should also help you out with any modifications you want to make regarding those creature modifications we were making a while back. See, it all ties together in the end. The beauty of the current materials system is that there's actually very little difference between, say, leather and iron - they're fundamentally the same thing, just with different properties, which is how things really should be.<br />

<br />
A '''bodygloss''' is a token in the raw {{L|body token}}s and {{L|creature token}}s which performs a simple word substitution on the creature's body parts. For instance, if a creature makes use of the "[BODYGLOSS:PAW]" token, then a hypothetical body part called "second right foot" would be renamed "second right paw".<br />
<br />
It is important to distinguish the body token and creature token versions. The body token variant is defined anywhere in an "OBJECT:BODY" file and has the following syntax: ''[BODYGLOSS:id:singular:replacement:plural:replacements]''<br />
<br />
Note that this is a simple string replacement for all body parts—replacing "ear" will also replace "h'''ear'''t".<br />
<br />
To make use of this token, the creature token variant is included beneath a creature definition (in an "OBJECT:CREATURE" file) and has the following syntax: ''[BODYGLOSS:id]''<br />
<br />
Then, it will perform the word substitution defined by the bodygloss in the body tokens file; any occurrence of the words ''singular'' and ''plural'' in any body part will be replaced with the words ''replacement'' and ''replacements'', respectively.<br />
<br />
The default list of bodyglosses included in the unmodded Dwarf Fortress is as follows, as taken from body_default.txt:<br />
<br />
[BODYGLOSS:PAW:foot:paw:feet:paws]<br />
[BODYGLOSS:MAW:mouth:maw:mouths:maws]<br />
[BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND:hand:claw:hands:claws]<br />

'''PLEASE SUBMIT BUGS TO THE OFFICIAL BUG TRACKER - THEY WON'T GET FIXED IF THEY ARE ONLY LISTED HERE.'''<br /><br />
'''[http://bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/ Dwarf Fortress Bug Tracker]'''<br />
<br />
'''Please link to the mantis tracker issue as well as the forum post if possible.'''<br />
<br />
'''This page recently underwent a major cleanup edit. See the talk page for more info.'''<br />
<br />
:As the version is new, and we're still discovering bugs, a lot of unverifiable information is going to get added to this thread. It is recommended that new entries be added with "'''(confirmation needed)'''", and that others can discuss and document each bug on the discussion page. Following confirmation of a bug with a specific description of what's occurring, the parenthetical can be removed. <br />
<br />
:Please also read the 'Not Actually Bugs' section before adding bug reports!<br />
<br />
==Not Actually Bugs==<br />
*Animals are listed twice in some places, including the embark and trade agreement screens.<br />
:They're listed twice because they separately list males and females.<br />
<br />
*Weird coloured letter in top left corner<br />
:"<span style="color:#FF0000; background:#B22222">''' C '''</span>" means new combat report<br />
:"<span style="color:#00FF00; background:#008000">''' H '''</span>" means new hunting message<br />
:"<span style="color:#48D1CC; background:#008080">''' S '''</span>" means new sparring message<br />

<br />
*No option for magma in the finder<br />
:[[Magma]] is guaranteed everywhere now.<br />
<br />
*Unable to add items or skill points on the embarking screen.<br />
:Check your keybindings! By default the keys to add and remove items and skills are + and - on the numpad.<br />
<br />
*{{L|Wrestling}} will take much longer than combat using any kind of weapon (unlike in 40d.) One can set init/announcements.txt to show wrestling chokeholds in fort mode.<br />
<br />
== Embarking ==<br />
<br />
*You can embark with some rather unrealistic prepared foods (such as fly brains, which in real life go at about 900 thousand brains to the pound). These unrealistic foods have also been seen in trading. This may be related to further issues involving vermin's organs. (Each 'Unit' of Food is representative of enough food to feed a dwarf for just over a month.)<br />
<br />
*You may get a "Cavern Collapse" announcement as soon as you arrive. (Perhaps many times, if you have a volcano in your ocean...)<br />
:[http://bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=51 Bug Tracker]<br />
<br />
*Reclaiming a fortress removes all mud from the caverns, causing problems such as no more underground trees. {{Bug|133}}<br />
<br />
*Using the flux search option on the embark screen often yields false or misleading results.<br />
<br />
== Sites ==<br />
<br />
*Magma pipes in volcanoes extend to the top of the map, past the mountain itself.<br />
:[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=52412.0 Forum Link]<br />
<br />
*Magma tubes remain the same shape and size the whole way down and may be square. <br />

:Also, when you have selected Smooth Stone for a farm plot area, the dwarves will clean away the mud right from under the farm plots, rendering them useless until re-irrigated and rebuilt.<br />
<br />
<br />
*Construction and/or deconstruction can occasionally force some dwarves to idle. <br />

<br />
*Setting workshop profiles according to minimum and maximum skill levels does not work, typically resulting in no one being able to use the workshop. Setting a profile for individual dwarves still works.<br />
:[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=61051.0 Forum Link]<br />
<br />
* Going to the zones menu and changing the placing type to flow, and then pressing ESC causes a crash.<br />

: Forum link/Bug tracker link requested<br />
<br />
* Ashery takes all the buckets whenever it is making lye, but never returns back. Cause seems to be when it takes a bucket that has water and makes lye on it.<br />

*Dwarves will occasionally go exceptionally out of their way to get a material while a giant stockpile is sitting beside them (I saw my carpenter travel half the map to get a log while there was a stockpile of 20 logs beside him)<br />
:This will happen if the stockpiled items are already reserved for another task (sometimes happens en masse if you're designating constructions from the material). If this still functions as it did in 40d, dwarves will count the number of tiles to an item 'as the crow flies' rather than checking the actual pathfinding distance, meaning that they regard items above or below their workshop as being very nearby even if the travel distance to reach them is substantial.

:True, but I wasn't using wood for anything, only had 2 carpenters active and the wood was on the same Z plane as my workshops. The usual explanation doesn't fly for the one event I saw.<br />
::Perhaps they had the wood hauling labor enabled and were going to haul it?<br />
I did have a similar event, where I put some food for a militia force to patrol a cavern I uncovered around 40 z-levels down from my legendary dining hall. This resulted in 20+ dwarves venturing through deep dangerous caverns to get food. It was particularly bad when a forgotten beast showed up and massacred 15 of them.<br />

<br />
*<s>Former mayors continue to demand accomodations and make mandates. You can check their mandates by going to that specific dwarf's thoughts. This can cause [[fun]] as dwarves are arrested for not fufilling demands.</s><br />

*Dungeon masters (along with the appointed nobles Hammerer and Tax Collector, but those are missed significantly less) will never turn up, no matter how the Fortress progresses.<br />

<br />
*Presence of Dungeon Master doesn't allow for taming of exotic pets. {{Bug|2036}}<br />
<br />

*After generating a world and embarking, you may notice missing tiles.<br />
:Workaround: Restart Dwarf Fortress.<br />
<br />
*In the 'z'-status menu, there is no image for nobles/administrators. Instead, there is an empty space where the purple dwarf should be.<br />

== Saves ==<br />
*Renaming a save (ex. "Region2-spr-1050" to "Region2") may invalidate the save, even if you give the save its original name back. ((Confirmation needed))<br />
<br />
I had to reload an autosave (Region1-sum-1050). Renamed the file folder(to Region1), no problems encountered (was able to load, save over, etc.)<br />
<br />
==Trading and Depot==<br />
<br />
*<s>Elf traders may stay a long time.</s><br />
:This is because creatures that the elves come with do not have pack animal values set on them, yet elves are able to use any creature as a pack animal. Check what is carrying their goods when they arrive. Often it will be warthogs, which do not have trade capacity values. Which apparently makes them carry enormous, ridiculous loads and take forever to load/unpack.<br />
:Workaround: A fix is to go into the creature_large_topical.txt file and add in [TRADE_CAPACITY:XXXX] under the warthog's [PACK_ANIMAL] entry (where XXXX is the weight you want them to carry). Or just remove the [PACK_ANIMAL] tag altogether. Be forewarned, you may or may not have to make a new world for the fix to take effect.<br />
:Workaround: with the game paused and the depot in view, designate treecutting {{k|d}} - {{k|t}}, and just hold down the mouse button until the depot display no longer flashes between items very quickly.<br />
::Why this works: it has been known that certain parts of the game engine keep running while the game is paused. These include cat-dwarf adoptions and the trade liaison conversation. It appears to also apply to traders loading up their goods, and probably to unloading goods as well.<br />

== Program Lockup ==<br />
<br />
*When typing quickly in to the search tab for naming groups and fortresses at embark crashes may occur<br />
<br />
*The DF process sometimes locks up (freezes) when alt-tabbing to another window and back.<br />
:Workaround: That happened to me fairly often in the 40d# series. Try hitting the Alt key (I think it was Alt anyway) before you give up. [[Special:Contributions/75.210.204.237|75.210.204.237]] 04:42, 2 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Frequent Runtime Error Crashes ==<br />
*On Windows 7 machines, frequent C++ Runtime Error crashes. Performance becomes increasingly slow until this occurs. (confirmation needed) {{version|0.31.17}}<br />
:In addition, Dwarf Fortress.exe process is not terminated after this crash, though window closes, requires manual termination of process to stop it.<br />

<hr />
<div>Tiles are the squares that form a map. A tile consists of two sections—a wall section and a floor section, like this:<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor Section<br />
When digging and building this is important, since some designations and constructions will only be done in wall tiles and some others will only be done in floor tiles.<br />
<br />
==Stairs==<br />
Building a stairway consists of two elements: an up stair and a down stair, each element is built only in the matching tile section, across two z-levels, like this:<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section |--> Open Space Wall<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| -|<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section ▒▒▒ |--> Up Stair<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -|<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor<br />
An up-down stair or building both up and down stairs in the same tile, works like this:<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -| -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section ▒▒▒ |--> Up Stair | Up/Down<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | | Stair<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -| |<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair -|<br />
==Walls==<br />
Both natural occurring and constructed walls and both carved and built fortifications span across two z-levels, the bottom wall section and floor and the top floor section, the only difference is that fortifications have holes in the wall section to allow fluids and projectiles through:<br />
-|<br />
|<br />
|--> Open Space Wall<br />
|<br />
|<br />
-|<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor -| <br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| | <br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | | <br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section |--> <material> Wall <br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | | <br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | | <br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| | <br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor -| <br />
==Supports and Fortifications==<br />
Unlike walls supports span only one z-level, allow liquids and movement, and don't create a floor on top.<br />
Fortifications are basically the same but it blocks movement.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Quality|Fine|08:49, 12 June 2010 (UTC)}}<br />
{{av}}<br />
With the exception of some {{L|syndrome|breath weapons}}, all {{L|weapon}}s have an attack type. There are two attack types: blunt and edged. Edged can be further broken down into based on the distribution of the blade into "true" edged attacks and piercing attacks.<br />
<br />
Some weapons can have more than one attack: a short sword has a slash, a stab, and a pommel strike.<br />
<br />
==Blunt weapons==<br />
Examples of blunt weapons include hammers, maces, and melee attacks with crossbows.<br />
<br />
Blunt weapons generally have poor penetration but are good for bruising and breaking internal bones and tissues. Blunt weapons tend to be more effective when they have greater weight. This can lead to disappointment when using blunt weapons made from {{L|adamantine|awesome materials}}. They are not designed to kill, but to incapacitate, and they do that very well.<br />
<br />
==Edged weapons==<br />
Examples of edged weapons include heavy bladed weapons where the focus of the swing is generally distributed across a long, thin blade. Bladed weapons include axes, swords, and even scourges.<br />
<br />
Edged weapons do significant amounts of tissue damage and may sever limbs or heads, especially of smaller, weaker creatures. Against large creatures they cut gashes in the surface tissue, causing bleeding and pain but generally not doing a lot of organ damage, unless the strike is to the head, of course.<br />
<br />
==Piercing weapons==<br />
Examples of piercing weapons include any weapon that focuses a significant amount of energy on a single point. Piercing weapons include spears, bolts & arrows, and some sword attacks.<br />
<br />
Piercing weapons are perhaps the most effective at killing large creatures due to the penetration required to hit vital organs. It doesn't take an extremely lucky strike with a spear to puncture a lung or other organ, although hits to the limbs will be largely ineffective because piercing weapons aren't designed to break bones or cause deep lacerations. It's possible (although unlikely) to kill even a megabeast in one hit with a spear or pike (unless the megabeast in question is made of {{L|metal|fun substances}}).</div>Putnamhttps://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=v0.34:Tile&diff=151775v0.34:Tile2011-07-26T03:49:34Z<p>Putnam: </p>

<div>Tiles are the squares that form a map. A tile consists of two sections: a wall section and a floor section, like this:<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor Section<br />
When digging and building this is important, since some designations and constructions will only be done in wall tiles and some others will only be done in floor tiles.<br />
<br />
==Stairs==<br />
Building a stairway consists of two elements: an up stair and a down stair, each element is built only in the matching tile section, across two z-levels, like this:<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section |--> Open Space Wall<br />

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section ▒▒▒ |--> Up Stair<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -|<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor<br />
An up-down stair or building both up and down stairs in the same tile, works like this:<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -| -|<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section ▒▒▒ |--> Up Stair | Up/Down<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | | Stair<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | |<br />
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -| |<br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair -|<br />
==Walls==<br />
Both natural occurring and constructed walls and both carved and built fortifications span across two z-levels, the bottom wall section and floor and the top floor section, the only difference is that fortifications have holes in the wall section to allow fluids and projectiles through:<br />
-|<br />
|<br />

|<br />
|<br />

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor -| <br />

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| | <br />
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor -| <br />
==Supports and Fortifications==<br />
Unlike walls supports span only one z-level, allow liquids and movement, and don't create a floor on top.<br />
Fortifications are basically the same but it blocks movement.<br />
▒▒ -| | -| |<br />

The monarch is the highest level {{L|noble}}. Rather than being promoted from within, like the [[baron]], [[count]], and [[duke]], the monarch arrives as an immigrant from the previous capital. Males are known as "king" and females are known as "queen". They may arrive with an opposite gendered "king consort" or "queen consort", as well as an entourage that can include elite military dwarves and ordinary workers. Unlike previous versions, the monarch will no longer come upon the discovery of {{L|adamantine}}. {{Verify}}<br />
<br />
You may check how close you are to meeting the requirements for a monarch's arrival by pressing {{k|n}} {{k|c}} after you have a population of at least 140. (This option does not appear on the Noble screen at first.)<br />
<br />
Once the monarch arrives, your fortress becomes the capital of your civilization. Because of this, you will no longer receive visits from a dwarven {{L|liaison}}, nor can you give goods to dwarf caravans as offerings.<br />
<br />
The monarch arrives at the at the same time within a season an immigration wave does, but have an entirely separate entourage that can spawn from a different part of the map. <br />

<div>== monarch bug ==<br />
<br />
The monarch showed up before promotion to duchy, and simply sat on the edge of the map with her consort. Her entourage joined, including various legendary weapon masters. When I used Runesmith to move her inside, she and her consort ran all the way back to the border. Sounds similar to the old 'non-dwarven king' bug.[[User:Uzu Bash|Uzu Bash]] 15:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
I got the message box informing me of the arrival of the king and his full entourage, but after a the immigrants had all arrived I found out that I had gotten a four legendary military dorfs, but no king or queen consort. I think this is also a bug, though I'm not complaining as I'm quite capable of surviving without a king to make demands. --[[User:Egodeus|Egodeus]] 03:44, 8 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
:It's likely that your civilization never had a monarch to begin with (i.e. the last one died during worldgen and was never replaced). Also, even if you '''had''' gotten a King, he never would've made many mandates anyways due to the "worldgen units have no preferences" bug (and demands are extremely uncommon, so you'd probably never see any of those either). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 03:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
::Ok, thanks. I'll try to verify that that happened when I start up the game this evening. --[[User:Egodeus|Egodeus]] 11:21, 9 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
::Yep, the last queen of the civilization my dwarves come from starved some fifteen centuries ago. I wonder why they never bothered to install a new one? --[[User:Egodeus|Egodeus]] 14:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
::Because the whole civilization had been depopulated from starvation at that point. I'm pretty sure this is a bug. --[[User:Egodeus|Egodeus]] 10:30, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Arrival of the king==<br />
This might be a stupid question, but I don't really get the "wealth in roads"-part of the arrival condition. Does it mean exports, building paved roads or something else? [[User:Aavemursu|Aavemursu]] 28 October 2010<br />
The Wealth In Roads is just the worth of the items you used to build paved roads. You can use Steel bars to fulfill the requirement really fast.<br />
::You can also use bridges which count toward road value - Celem<br />
<br />
==Adamantine King==<br />
This seems completely removed from 2010 Df. Only trigger to monarch seems to be previously known requirements and duchy -Celem<br />
<br />
Doesn't seem to be true. In extreme circumstances, the king does come when adamantine is found, but only a very large amount, relatively speaking. If adamantine is modded to be as common as microcline, then the monarch may come early.

==Death of a King==<br />
What happens to the state of the world if your monarch dies at your fortress? <small>&ndash; [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:70.76.91.114|70.76.91.114]]</small><br />
<br />
I believe you get another one. [[User:Doomdome|Doomdome]] 00:29, 28 December 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I havent yet tested this in 2010. However there is usually no mechanism for replacing a monarch lost like this. Monarchs that die during worldgen are succeeded by their heir or a new line begins. Those that die at your fortress do not get replaced. -Celem<br />
<br />
== Not a bad Queen at all ==<br />
<br />
I was desperate for some legendary warriors, so I decided to try to attract a king or queen. Sure mandates can be annoying, but hopefully worth it.<br />
<br />
Eventually the Queen arrived with her consort. Neither of them has any preferences for materials or items, and they haven't made any mandates at all. They will happily haul things around, operate pumps, and even join the army! <br />
<br />
Did I get lucky, or do Kings and Queens normally not have preferences for anything? Do they normally make mandates?<br />
<br />
:I seem to recall they did in 40d, but I had the same experience as you with a King in DF2010. He seems to be weirdly aloof, actually; most thoughts don't seem to stick to him. If I recall correctly, he cares about his length of patrol duty, slaughter, and very little else. Environmental objects, food and drink, and sleeping in his Royal Bedroom all leave him completely unfazed. &mdash;[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 00:20, 8 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I suspect this is all to do with existing during world gen, incidentally. Much like the fact that he has Tracker skill. &mdash;[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 00:21, 8 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== does 140 population is demand? ==<br />
Does Monarch need to many inferiors? Count and Baron in DF2010 have decreased own desires. --[[User:Cypselus|Cypselus]]<br />
<br />
I can't understand what you're asking there. But I just noticed this in the d_init.txt file:<br />
<br />
You can set the maximum population of your fortress here. Keep in mind that your<br />
population must be at least 80 to get a king and 100 to obtain the current game<br />
features.<br />
<br />
[POPULATION_CAP:200]<br />
<br />
Can we simply assume that the comment text is completely outdated and wrong? --[[User:Greycat|Greycat]] 13:40, 25 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Monarch Arrives and Dies Instantly ==<br />
So I achieved the requirements of becoming the capital, so a queen arrived at my fortress. However, on the instant that she set foot onto the map, she died of old age. What happens now?<br />
