Specifically, i want to make a program that reads in-game descriptions through DF hack and uses this as a trigger.

[Furtuka]

Will an error occur if there are two entities with the same adventure tier?

[Jazzeraint]

Is there any way to restore boulder-dropping from mining to soil layers?

[Furtuka]

Will using ALLOWED_CREATURE on a fortress mode position affect appointments in fortress mode?

[Chevaleresse]

Yes it will. My fallen civilization, which only allows captains to be, well, captains, was unable to appoint a military when I only ended up with dregs and vandals.

You can fake it with DFHack (set up a function that is called every time a job is completed, check if it was mining and if was in soil, then create a boulder with 25% probability), but not via raw modding.

If you really want to dive into the minutiae of this, the mod in my signature has tesb-mining.lua which spawns things when mining certain kinds of rock.  At least with soil there is no need to check for veins.

Thanks Dirst!

I want to make Blood edible, so I'm adding these:
   [EDIBLE_VERMIN]
   [EDIBLE_COOKED]
   [EDIBLE_RAW]
to the blood_template in the material_template_default file. I presume that'll do the trick, and also let it be used as an ingredient for cooking?


If possible, I'd like it to also be produced when butchering, and then get stockpiled into barrels and such (to emulate the barrels of blood we see from dwarven caravans). Would adding this work?

Thanks~

What causes the goblins behavior of doing ambushes leading up to small scale sieges if they lack the AMBUSHER tag?

[Chevaleresse]

Are they proper ambushes or are they tiny sieges?

They could be bandits, too.

[Furtuka]

I'm not sure if there's a confusion here? I mean as in what causes them game mechanics wise? They're definitely ambushes.

What does the mercenary entity token do? It's not listed on the wiki

1. Are you sure? I feel like it may be sieges now. Have you been ambushed in 0.40?

2. It allows the entities to produce mercenaries AFAIK... might be deprecated with 0.40.01 or the next version

Oooooh. Whoops I got mixed up thanks to the ambush page on the wiki being a copy paste?. Thought things were still the same since the old days cause of it since my game hadn't gotten far enough for it to show up. Well this is embarassing.

How can I read the combat log, weather and temperature output with dfhack?

[NJW2000]

Dunno about the others, but can't vanilla do combat logs with [r]?
