What's the difference between a certain one set of worldgen presets and the "pop" ones?

Can syndromes be spread in worldgen by consuming food or people?

In my opinion DF modding would be too high-investment low-reward for your idea. Look for homebrew and supplements dedicated to base management, since there's not a shortage of resources for that topic.

I agree with Teneb's first hemisentence. If it's space opera/alien colonization, more trees, plants and stones. Near future, "metals" (artificial materials) and plants (GMO crops).

What's a good language generation utility for sample sizes of less than a few dozen?

I use DFLangCreate. It's simple enough, no frills, just generates from your inputs.

I asked because that one keeps complaining about how small my input was.

The merchants that came with my outpost liason got jumped by a huntsman (robotic nasty from The Long Night) and seem to have given up on life afterwards. They're just sitting there while the bodyguards loiter around. One of them was in a boulder, but smoothing it out didn't solve that either. Is there any hope for me to make them wake up inside?

Some potentially outdated [1.92] input since you reminded me of this with that /tg/ post.

The second thing you might notice about this slab is that the [IS_NAME] of its description and history are mismatched, every slab regardless of their secret says that they're technomancer ones. The only way to identify one you find "in the wild" is to cross reference it with its legends history, meaning that you have to spend 4 weeks in retirement while taking notes. It's almost awful if it didn't give me ideas.
Biomechanical races from creature_civilized_barbarian weren't [NOT_LIVING], which is a pain in the butt when ironically their sole weakness of being an organism is removed by technomagic. Senator Armstrong has nothing on this combo.
Additionally, kobold caves are an even bigger navigational headache than dwarf ones, they're basically a maze of lethal traps for PCs who start inside without the right tags.

Suggestions: Turn the multitool into the large dagger analogue, since it's versimilitudinous for such an important item to always be available to an adventurer at the start. Possibly diversify the gem industry of the future by being able to synthesize gems out of their chemical elements also so people can be into things besides "synthetic crystal".

After thinking about that for my own idea, I had the thought of deactivating the [CHILD] until game start, when the DFHack system then permanently adds it back to the raws. I don't think the script exists yet but it shouldn't be difficult.
