Fixed Creature RAWs
 | This article was migrated from DF2014:Fixed Creature RAWs and may be inaccurate for the current version of DF (v50.15). See this page for more information. |
This is the project page for making corrections to the vanilla Dwarf Fortress creatures.
What Are Raws?
Raw files are text files that describe objects in the game using a list of programmed tags, or tokens. These tokens can describe everything from how many eggs it lays, to what kind of blood it has.
Project Goals
The goal of this project is to go through the raws, and build a 'fixed' list of creatures to enhance game play. For instance, the default raws (as of 34.11) have a missing CHILD tag on the Black Mamba creature, which results in the snakes laying eggs that never hatch! Players will be able to use these adjusted raws to enhance their game, and have more accurate in-game creatures.
Helpful Tools
- Raw Explorer makes it quick and easy to edit raw files, and individual creatures can be extracted by simply right-clicking (on the creature) and choosing "copy".
- Creature token is a great resource for explaining what each token does and how to use it.
Creatures
Below are the creatures with fixed raws.

- Added
CHILD:1andLITTERSIZE:3:20and removed egg related tags to allow adders to have 3 to 20 live offspring. Adders (Vipera berus) don't actually lay eggs, they're ovoviviparous, meaning that they keep the eggs internally and then give live birth.
