DF2014 Talk:Two-humped camel

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

In the "Creatures" dropdown menu at the bottom of all creature pages, both One-Humped Camels and Two-Humped Camels are listed under "Tropical" instead of "Desert", though they do show up in desert biomes. Is this an oversight or is there some reason for it? 110.175.85.61 06:37, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

The template arranges creatures by the raw file they appear in. Despite only residing in deserts, camels are listed in creature_large_tropical.txt instead of creature_desert_new.txt. (The desert-specific file likely didn't exist when camels were first added.) While this arrangement is a little unintuitive, it does have the advantage of being unambiguous and simplifying maintenance when the raw files change.--Loci (talk) 22:24, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
