When a token is repeated within USE_CASTE, does it overwrite the previous one?
« on: August 10, 2023, 02:52:42 pm »
[CASTE:MALE]
[DESCRIPTION:a male]
[NATURAL_SKILL:SWIMMING:1]

[USE_CASTE:QUICKMALE:MALE]
[DESCRIPTION:a quick male]
[NATURAL_SKILL:SWIMMING:3]

Will Quick male has a swimming skill of 3? and an updated description? and so on?

When DF detects duplicate tokens in the raws of the same object, a failsafe seems to kick in; it takes the bottom-most of the duplicates, and disregards the others. In the case of tokens added by a mod, it prioritizes the duplicate in the mod.
TLDR: because "QUICKMALE" is "lower" on the list than "MALE"- the duplicated token (IE "NATURAL_SKILL:SWIMMING:3") overwrites the previous account of its use ("NATURAL_SKILL:SWIMMING:1") so yes it should.
