1. you'd better avoid pronounce like these, to prevent to much clutter. You can say 'it' or 'they'.
2. indentation (tabs and spaces) dont work. So everything following [SELECT_CASTE]-tag is considered part of that tag. But i dont think it matters in this case, because these are general creature tags.

to my knowledge, it looks fine otherway

Done!

For testing purposes, I'd like to quickly get te monarch arrive at my site.

So far, I used this:
- setting the settings for economic triggers and landholder triggers to the lowest possible
- with df-hack: set the timeskip-duration to about 5 months
- with dfhack and 'force caravan', let the output liaison show up early, to get the site-elevation to barony
- with dfhack and 'force diplomat' twice, get the site elevated to county and then duchy.
So Iam now a metropolis (says in the upper left corner under my fortress' name), and a duchy.

- with dfhack and 'remove-stress -all', I made all the citizens as happy as possible.

This only takes like 5 minutes., but no monarch so far.

Any tips?

How did your dwarves end up on that island themselves?

(Insert answer here)

So did the migrants you see in the first two waves.

to summarize:
* World generation is what happens in the world before you actually start playing
* Fortress Mode is when you play Fortress Mode
* World Activation is what happens in the world while you're playing Fortress Mode.

There are some differences.

I created a nobles position at site level, that inherrits from a noble on civ-level.
[POSITION:MINISTER]
   (..., no SITE )

[POSITION:LOCAL_NOBLE]
   [SITE]
   [SUCCESSION:BY_POSITION:MINISTER]
   (...)
This works in World Generation (yes indeed how cool is that ;-) ) , but does not work in Fortress Mode. I 'invited' the civ-noble at my fortress and pulled some strings, but succession wouldn't occur. I made sure that the conditions were perfect and that all other options were ruled out (as far as I know ;-) )

I would like to understand this. Can someone please explain this? Not so simple: 'those systems are separate', because that is clearly not the case, because they can interact in the world generation.

And follow-up question: does it work in World Activation, and why? How can I determine that with a certain level of certainty?

Well I guess the best thing you can do, is revert to vanilla, and then apply your changes one by one, untill you encounter the problem.

Well, I let a unit die by setting old_age and old_time on 1, so I'm sure it works.
Maybe the units dieing in the future is because of old_time was negative or something like that. Do you know how those values were related?

Hi!

Did you remove all the indoor_ outdoor_ tokens? maybe its another, like _gardens
When testing and correcting, are you sure those corrections are even used in your testround?
Did you remove vanilla plants?
these should work by default, and only would cause rejections if you removed vanilla plants?

 [OUTDOOR_ORCHARDS]
Do you have multiple modded enitties and are you sure you didn't miss one?

If this ist helping, you could post one of each type of plant you've made.
