I downloaded the mod and generated a world. I'm planning to play on adventure mode. Which race is the "best" one to play as? For vanilla it was human. (The only race where vendor armor would fit and towns physically existed.) I'm guessing it's Halfling, based on the number of civs.

I love using formics in adventure mode personally.

I'm quite pleased with my longstaff.

It leaves a great number of dented shins and faces. On low levels unarmed halflings are nearly equal to low level staff wielding halflings.
I havent tested high levels yet, but I'm sure it shall do just fine.

If any of you want to test it I can post the raw.

Most races have sites in this version. If you want to be OP and boring you could be a Treelord or an Adherent of the Mind. Otherwise, most races perform well, though halflings are relatively small and squishy.

The tree lords die really quickly to rygics.
Needs a little nerfing.

Treelords tear pretty much everything else to pieces in physical combat, though. They're pretty hard to kill, despite their sluggishness.

I played as a treequeen. I spawned with no gear other than a trident and a dagger, and because I couldn't find a backpack, I couldn't hold more than two items. I also couldn't eat anything - plant or animal - because it was "too cold". I was able to drink water and blood, though.

I never really got to try it out in combat, since I had a bunch of halfling macemen following me everywhere and the vampires I got assigned to kill were attacked by their 30 housemates.

Is there some special requirement for feeding a treelord? I read the raws briefly, but I couldn't find anything.

Maybe you were in a cold location.

Did you try heating your food up?

I doubt it. The civ was on the warmer half of the map, and water wasn't frozen.

Did you try heating your food up?
How would I do that?

I remember having a waterskin full of ice on vanilla DF and trying to heat it over a campfire, but I couldn't figure out the command for it.

Make a camp fire, stand next to it and press shift i

EDIT: From personal experience, most of the map is too cold for most creatures.

Is there a way to make something not attack even if attacked?

Then can I make it instead use an interaction that does absolutely nothing
