Suggestions Forum is where you want to be.
Or Modding if you're asking how to do it yourself.

You mean subterranean animal-people? Toady won't do anything with them until Laws & Customs, when animal-people will be expanded in general. You can add it yourself in the meantime.

it's rather a question for both... but mostly for if it's useful to edit them myself - as much as speculations on what it might change in gameplay/difficulty.

Nothing, unless you lure animal-people outside.

Goblins are not subterranean. The underground parts of dark fortresses are work-pits where they only ostensibly work. They spend the rest of their time above ground. Won't matter in fortress mode anyway.

oh, then i was misunderstanding the concept of their pits.
well, but if all other subterrain beings are caveadapt, that might be a reasonable thing, right?

Well, you could build an underground labyrinth they have to pass through to get to your front gate. It's so huge and takes so long to pass through that by the time they emerge into your above-ground courtyard, they're fully cave adapted and spewing projectile vomit at your militia.

that would also apply if i created a sunlit cavern access-area.

so should i go search for all instances with "UNDERGROUND_DEPTH" and add "CAVE_ADAPT" ?
or is there another creature tag that would be better at determining what lives underground?

This disability seems to exist only to discourage the player from prolonged underground turtling. There isn't much point in adding it to a non-playable race, unless you plan to lure them rodent men from caverns up to the surface, for some reason.

or if you want to make them playable in fort mode
or just in case they join your civ
or you plan on playing them in adv. mode

Cave adapdation has an impact in adventure mode?
