Updating flora/fauna layers to v50[edit]
I just updated the cave moss and floor fungus raws, and noticed the cavern layers they appear in had been changed compared to in DF2014. The grasses section has been updated to reflect this (and the addition of underlichen, but in its light I suspect the trees and creatures may have their layers altered too. I suppose this is a reminder of sorts, to look over those before we mark the page as fully migrated. --Voliol (talk) 21:18, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Okay, the crop-plants and trees appear unchanged, but I would still keep an eye on the creatures, unless we have something to confirm they are unchanged. --Voliol (talk) 21:36, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
I have now checked everything is all right with the creatures, including the vermin, but excluding the animal people. The changes made to the latter is the big thing to consider before the migrated template can be removed, their new behavior needs some mention. Then there's cavern agitation and the new spoileriffic obsidian things. --Voliol (talk) 21:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Cavern and embark item availability section[edit]
The section does not seem to be correct. As it is dwarven caravans can bring dwarven cheese. Depending on the choosen dwarven civ (of a world) it is also possible that that civ has access to ie. nether-caps and other materials, which are usually only found in deeper cavern layers. As it is dwarven caravans (and embark screen) allows for all items (and materials) listed under the resources property of the civ-entity (viewable via dfhack) to be choosen. The entries can include items/materials which are only found in deeper cavern layers. This has been the case since at least the first version of the siege update. Also directly after world-generation all resources listed under the different site-entities of a civ also appear in the civs resource property entries (but not vice-versa). But then I have yet to see a dwarven caravan bring any vermin in cages (allthough I did not check, if any do appear under the resources.animals.pet_races entry, but I suspect for dwarves there will currently never be any vermin entry and so no purring maggots will ever be brought by dwarven caravans).91.49.252.253 00:58, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
