custom work details to be saved/restored to/from disk

Very possible. I just did something similar for difficulty settings and standing orders.

egg-layers that are assigned to a pen/pasture only claim nestboxes that are within that pen/pasture?

This one I'm less sure about. I don't know exactly how egg layers choose their nestboxes. I've noticed that *most* of the time, they'll claim the one that `autonestbox` assigns them to, but not always. I'd have to look into it.

Could you create feature requests for these two at https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues ? Right now we're focused on getting ready for DF 50.12, and I don't want to forget about these.

Quick question for anyone familiar with the 47.05 releases: is there any way I can use DFhack to transform a creature into a generated creature?

The specific scenario being that I'm trying to turn a human into a generated Experiment from the world.dat file; modtools/transform-unit doesn't seem to like the creature name in the raws due to the spacing and I've no clue how to make gui/gm-editor work.

modtools/transform-unit doesn't seem to like the creature name in the raws due to the spacing

You can enclose strings such as that in quotes to pass them into a tool. Like with createitem ROUGH "INORGANIC:LAPIS LAZULI".

ok so I normally would have an example gif showcasing what you can do here but uhhh shrugs. example gifs updated for now.

these series of commands allows one to assign a unit as a merchant, assign someone to be dragged by the merchant, add an caravan entry which lets one set up trade, and if you have issues getting access to the trade menu allows one to toggle into trading, oh and also speed up the trade session so the merchant can just leave.

beware this set of scripts can lead to 'merchant wandering off to do something else, losing out the means to gift items to the trader because they are part of the came civ, lose lifestock and folks because they were dragged away off site, trying to figure out a new playstyle that uses this and having FUN doing so, not working well when actual caravan shows up or you make more than one caravan instance, and the usual unstable warning I give with my scripts.'
any way probably should figure out how to put items in the trader side so I could exchange wares with visitors... next

Code: ("cook-served-tavern.lua") [Select]

--this script is a rough concept of seeing if one could serve food to others
-- this script will search for prepared meals and slam them into a cup a tavern keeper is holding
-- which kinda requires monitoring the tavern keeper to see if they are holding a cup to use this script.
-- for the person who wants a resturant feel to the fort or got goblins and want to see them eat stuff.
--potentially unstable and may leave uncleared general refs in cups which makes them look like they are full.

local crab=df.global.plotinfo.main.fortress_site
local lobster=df.global.world.activities.all
local shrimp=df.global.world.items.other.FOOD
  local items={}
  for _,checked_item in pairs(df.global.world.items.other.IN_PLAY) do

      table.insert(items,checked_item)
    end
  end

for _3,craft in pairs(lobster) do
if craft.type==10 then
for _4,act in pairs(craft.events) do
act.unk_v42_1:insert("#",{new=true, item_id=items[dfhack.random.new():random(#items)].id ,unk_1=1, unk_2=0} )

local u_ref=df.general_ref_activity_eventst:new()
u_ref.activity_id=craft.id
u_ref.event_id=act.event_id

local u_store=df.general_ref_contains_itemst:new() -- the cup
local u_contain=df.general_ref_contained_in_itemst:new() -- the stuff in the cop

 serve.general_refs:insert(#serve.general_refs,u_ref)
serve.general_refs:insert(#serve.general_refs,u_contain)
end
end
end
end
end
end ok so here's a script that started off on a normal idea of can I control what tavern serve to folks?
which spiral into a series of hard coded responses to stuff where I just give up and just default to just shoving the food into the cup the tavern keeper is serving and wash my hands of this concept.

so now it's possible to watch a 40 stack prepared meal's value go down due to someone drinking it all away.

ok so it seems like I wrote an open-legends script that actually opens legends and a open fort mode script that kinda opens fort mode afterwards.
but like

Code: ("open-leg.lua") [Select]

local old_screen=dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen()
local new_screen=df.viewscreen_legendsst:new()
old_screen.child=new_screen
new_screen.parent=old_screen
new_screen.page:insert("#",{new=true,header="Open Legends",mode=0,index=-1,scroll_position_list=0,scrolling_list=false,
scroll_position_text=0,
scrolling_text=false
})

Code: ("open-fortmode.lua") [Select]

df.global.gamemode=df.game_mode.DWARF
df.global.gametype=df.game_type.DWARF_MAIN
local old_screen=dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen()
--local new_screen=df.viewscreen_choose_game_typest:new()
local new_screen=df.viewscreen_dwarfmodest:new()
old_screen.child=new_screen
new_screen.parent=old_screen

like you run the first script to open legends, and run the second script to go back to fort mode.
but given the the original open legends had warnings about save corruption that also applies with using these scripts

[myk]

new_screen.page:insert("#",{new=true,header="Open Legends",mode=0,index=-1,scroll_position_list=0,scrolling_list=false,
scroll_position_text=0,
scrolling_text=false
})

I believe this is the bit that the existing open-legends script is missing. This might finally allow that script to work! Thanks!

It seems that if I create rock nuts with "createitem SEEDS BUSH_QUARRY 10", I can't mill the resulting seeds? am I missing something?

moreover I tried modding almond seeds to be oil-bearing and I found if I create almond seeds with "createitem PLANT_GROWTH ALMOND:NUT", the resulting almonds are millable.  but I do "createitem SEEDS ALMOND", they aren't.  the resulting items look the same in the UI.
