DF Modding / Re: Creating dwarves?
« on: October 09, 2008, 12:22:25 am »
Currently the best way is to add the [PET] and [COMMON_DOMESTIC] tags to dwarves and set them to have a very low pet value. This means that when you embark you can 'buy' them. You then remove the aforementioned tags and the 'bought' dwarves will change from pets into peasants. This means that it is possible to start with a large amount of dwarves. Other than this, it is currently impossible to create dwarves as smelting/itemcorpse can only currently create vermin creatures or creatures that then act as vermin. This means that if you have a creature drop dwarves on its death or a reaction create them, they act as vermin, phasing in and out until your cat walks over and kills them.
