just add in [NO_EAT][NO_SLEEP][NO_DRINK] and [SPEED:5] yes these work with the new version but I think the [SPEED:5] might kill FPS

Hugo_The_Dwarf: I'm trying to figure that out, myself. So far, I haven't even gotten them to put on armour...

I've gotten armor and melee weapons working, after awhile you get the arsonal dwarf, you need him for soldiers to even use anything (unless there is no option for assiging a arsonal dwarf then squads grab whatever they like "that is a option to them at least") after you get a arsonal dwarf or AD then you can acually assign a specifc weapon or armor to each soldier (such as a cloak with Urist McHero sown into for Urist McHero) AD needs manager skill... but I don't understand why I can't have archers

Edit: on another note how does [SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:ALL]
[TL_HEALING_RATE:1]
 
work does this mean it has almost instant healing for all tissues? does that count for bones as well? (found on Hydra in raws)

is the reaction ICETEST in the entity raws? [ALLOWED_REACTION:ICETEST]? and is there a way to make liquid water that is drinkable? with a reaction? say make a block of ice into a pail full of water for injuried dwarfs?

Strictly dogs:

If you want war dogs to be balanced as of now, you're best off simply defining a whole new set of teeth for the pooch.  Modifying the teeth they use now will result in some extremely wacky combat later when not-dogs start using those same teeth to bite, when they're also larger and stronger... or [INTELLIGENT].  Elves are cannibals, after all.

Furthermore, for actual dogs, they should be a little bit faster than normal humanoids.  One of the reasons K-9 units exist today is because dogs run faster than your average fleeing criminal, and most importantly, take them to the ground.  It's why dogs are used, period.  If they're equal speed or slower than a fleeing enemy, then they're useless.  Right now I think they run at the same default speed as a dwarf, which is kind of silly unless they are perhaps miniature schnauzers. (Bearded dog for bearded mountain-dwellers)  They should probably end up about between 2/5 and 1/2 a dwarf's size.  I think beyond size and speed, the rest is pretty much superficial.  Are canine default combat tactics still Charge + Close Combat as well?  That might affect something as well, if they aren't.

This makes me want to make multible castes of dogs, the defualt will be boasted, and a fighting dog that is bigger and a tiny bit faster then a dwarf and has many types of attacks (plus thoughness and strength and other goodies like less winding and faster healing) and a fast dog that can be assigned to guards to catch and hold an invader of theif until the guard can come and murder the fool.

would'nt you just have to make a creature that is [FANCIFUL] so noone can use its leather (skin) make this imaginary creatures leather (skin) stronger and give the creature the name "hard" or whatever you like then make a custom workshop (or add a reaction to the tanner) for taking any tanned leather and a another material (realistc or not) and it produces a "hard leather" in which then you can make normal leather items from this hardded material that should never exsist, (hard leather greaves)

but if the creature never exsisted then dwarves (or preferred race) that you are playing as can only make hard leather. (unless you make this creature ready for all to use but doesn't spawn, unless elves bring this "hard" creature)

Is it possible to add experience caps for workshops?

I'm making a custom workshop so it'll be possible for me to place it in a "library" area, where peasants can get a little bit of experience in certain skills, and where others can just go for leisure, without gaining any experience. I'd like it so that plant gathering "books" will cap out at Adept, while skills that require a lot of real experience such as engraving can only cap out at Adequate.

You will have to set that cap yourself

1. you will need a manager
2. select workshop and press (SHIFT+P) to enter workshop
3. I believe its the (+/-) buttons that controll what level of skill (that is maximum skill) that is allowed to use this workshop

you can also controll the (minimum skill) that can use it, I used this techique to make sure my best metalsmiths where making very fine weapons and armor while the lesser smiths had their own workshops to train in so they could use these legendary workshops lol

does anyone know the Skills for all five doctor skills? for bone setting, suturing, surgery, diagnosing, and banage appling?
