This article is about an older version of DF.

The embark_profiles.txt file contains any embark profiles (or starting builds) you have created. It is found at data/init/embark_profiles.txt. Most of these can be transfered between versions, but you need to remember to do so. The file is editable, but a typo could render all of your profiles useless.

Editing

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

Default settings

The default file is empty, unless you have installed a mod that creates new embark profiles. If it does not exist, there are several ways to create it:

  • Save a new text file with the name "embark_profiles.txt" to the data/init folder
  • Use "touch" from a command line (Linux/Mac only)
  • Create and save a (useless) profile on the embark screen. Embarking isn't necessary to save the profile.
