DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: You know what I hate?
« on: November 12, 2013, 08:01:24 pm »The main difference is that a random wild turkey (domesticated) not eat your dwarves, but a random wild cave crawler (expert level trainers) will.Turkeys are pretty harmless though. Maybe a better comparison would be yaks or buffalo, which are also powerful domestic creatures that are found wild. The wild ones won't fight unless cornered, but they can really ruin a dwarf's day if they do attack.
With non-domestic species, you can tame and train individuals, but you have to start over when you start a new fortress. What I believe should happen is that once your fortress amasses enough knowledge about training a species, you send enough information back to the Mountainhome for your whole civ to be able to domesticate the species. Then you'd be able to embark with them next time, since you can embark with domestic animals.
Enemy mounts will never belong to your fortress, regardless of species. Their offspring don't belong to the civ that brought them, based on the reaction of human siegers to the foals their horse mounts can give birth to.

Possibly it's been renamed to something else, in the same way that the default names for weapon users are renamed in vanilla to 'swordsdwarf', 'axedwarf', etc.
Edit: Tanning may be the only moodable skill with reactions defined entirely in the raws. That would make it very desireable for a modder.

Additionally, you can never train a particular kind of animal enough to domesticate the whole species.

Miners will mine in burrows, so long as the tile they're supposed to mine is also within the burrow.

If you mod them to give live birth, the offspring will be allied to your fortress. Based on draltha breeding, non-tame animals that are chained up will be fertile without ever fighting with dwarves or scaring them.
VCCs seem like they'd be pretty badass. Their only attack is a latching bite, and they're large enough for the universal 'push' attack to pack a punch.

Yeah, they can just step right out of a coffin. Maybe dwarven culture demands a permanently open casket, or the raised dead are still sufficiently dwarven that they won't break apart another dwarf's work without being angry or being ordered to.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How to make miners and woodcutters wear armour (basic idea)
« on: November 09, 2013, 05:09:54 pm »
Step 1: Go into the raws and change mail shirts, helms, etc. to be clothing.
Step 2: Reload game.
Step 3: ???? (see below)
Step 4: Your miners and woodcutters are now wearing their newly-recategorised civvies.
Step 5: Go into the raws and change the mail shirts and other armour items back, otherwise they'll remain vulnerable to wear.
Step 3 is ???? because I don't know any efficient way of getting a dwarf to wear a specific bit of clothing without it being part of a uniform. Maybe set a uniform for them, remove the labour so they'll go and pick it up, and then lock them in a room while they change from mail-as-uniform to mail-as-clothing?
I'm not sure how this interacts with the Hunter labour.
