'''Miner''' is the skill associated with both the '''mining''' [[labor]] and its associated profession. Miners are necessary to build any kind of [[fortress]] that is [[underground]] or involves [[stone]]. They are required to dig tunnels, [[channel]]s, [[stair]]s and [[ramp]]s, as well as remove said stairs and ramps. Miners require a [[pick]] to do any work.

Mining speed is controlled by the experience of the miner, and (as of [[Release information/53.07|53.07]]) the [[material]] and [[quality]] of the pick. Note that miners do not automatically exchange their picks for better ones. To "fix" this, disable the mining labor for a dwarf and let them drop their old pick. Then re-enable the labor, and they will seek out the best pick available.

Miners gain experience for every tile mined, which means they gain experience faster in easier-to-dig soil and slower in stone. Due to the constant demand, straightforward work and fast experience curve, miners level-up to [[skill|legendary skill]] faster than any other profession. Most players will have one or two legendary miners within thirty minutes of gameplay.

Mining skill affects only the speed at which stone is mined, not the chance of acquiring resources from mining. Normal rocks and ore deposits drop an average of 1 boulder for every 4 squares mined; in compensation, one ore gives 4 bars of [[metal]] (although some types of ore sometimes give 1-4 extra bars of another metal) and one stone boulder yields 4 [[block]]s. Gem clusters drop rough [[gem]]s 100% of the time. Graphically, miners will often wear light grey tunics to resemble their occupation.

In order for any mining to be done, the {{menu icon|m}}ining [[Designations menu|designation]] must be used.

==Mining behavior==
{{Main|Mining}}
If a large area is designated for mining (with the same mining priority), miners will start clearing out the area starting from the accessible designated mining area which is nearest to them (when they decide to mine, eg. take the first mining spot, but, if the dwarf does not have a pickaxe in inventory, the decision where to mine is done after picking up a pickaxe), here nearest means whichever location is nearest to them in the maximum norm (actual pathing distance to get to the spot is irrelevant).

Once mining, a dwarf will automatically continue on to mine any connected tiles (on the same level) designated for mining, even diagonally, rather than shift to mine a discontinuous tile. But once all such tiles (which were designated for mining) have been mined the dwarf will pick any tile designated for mining (which is not already tagged by another miner as the next mining spot) with the minimum distance (in the maximum norm) from the position the miner is currently at, which might just be a tile one z-level above or below the current dwarf's position (even if the actual pathing distance is much longer than the actual pathing distance to the next tile, designated for mining, on the current z-level). If more than one tile has the same minimum distance than it is more or less random, which tile is picked next.

== Mining speed ==
{{Under construction}}

A zero-skill Miner takes 20 job ticks (5 per 'wear' on the wall being dug - a soil tile would just be 5) at about 11 frames per tick, for a total of about 215 frames to mine a single tile. A Proficient miner, however, did the same work in only 60% of the time (12 job ticks, 3 per wear level). A Legendary miner did the job in 20% of the time (4 job ticks, 1 per wear level).

If you're doing a lot of digging, [[Embark|starting]] with a semi-skilled Miner can save you a lot of time.

There is a 20% speed boost per quality level up to double (100% boost)[https://www.twitch.tv/blindirl/clip/HomelyTriangularSparrowCopyThis-nKUITLddzJfvnWXO] at masterwork/artifact quality.{{Version|53.07}}

==Combat==
The miner skill is also used when fighting with a pickaxe. Pickaxes are brutally effective [[Weapon|weapons]], combining a piercing and a slashing attack, and make really good weapons for adventurers. [[Immigrants]] can come to the fort with low-quality [[copper]] or [[bronze]] pickaxes, so consider replacing them with better-quality materials, like [[iron]] made by skilled weaponsmiths. Despite their effectiveness, however, a miner who is attacked when they're busy mining will not generally use their pick in combat, unless they are forced to.

Future of the Fortress

2026-08-11T13:56:03Z

Voliol: /* Future of the Fortress replies */ add links going back to July 2014, covering that thread. Admittedly, this is where the monthly format seems to be getting fuzzier, might be harder to document going back.

'''Future of the Fortress''' is the name of a series of threads on the [[Bay 12 Forums]]. Each month, [[Toady]] will round up any unanswered questions and answer them in a "Future of the Fortress reply". Other forum members answer questions if the answers can be found elsewhere or the question is a repeat.

==History==
Future of the Fortress threads started out as discussions of the [[Dwarf Fortress Development|development logs]], called "Future of the Fortress" at the time. They eventually changed into a question and answer format.

Talk:Future of the Fortress

2026-08-11T13:40:42Z

Voliol:

According to the current article, "Toady will periodically get around to a "Future of the Fortress reply", where he will answer any unanswered questions.". Periodically is the word here, since to my knowledge Toady has been posting replies on a monthly schedule for at least the last eight years (2015). This should be reflected in the text of this article, which at the moment seems to relate to an earlier time where the replies were indeed vaguely "periodic". Does anyone reading this know off-hand when this change to a monthly answer happened? So the text can be both descriptive of how it currently works, and how it worked back in the day. --[[User:Voliol|Voliol]] ([[User talk:Voliol|talk]]) 15:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
* Took the initiative and made the change. If anyone who knows about the earlier nature of the threads wants to corroborate, feel free. It's funny actually: I went into this talk page to see if anything was going on to know about when editing this page, saw a complaint that was very reasonable and warranted and so made the change ... only to notice after that the author was me ^^. All accidental. --[[User:Voliol|Voliol]] ([[User talk:Voliol|talk]]) 13:39, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Future of the Fortress

2026-08-11T13:35:07Z

Voliol: Change opening paragraph to reflect FotF being a monthly Q&A format

'''Future of the Fortress''' is the name of a series of threads on the [[Bay 12 Forums]]. Each month, [[Toady]] will round up any unanswered questions and answer them in a "Future of the Fortress reply". Other forum members answer questions if the answers can be found elsewhere or the question is a repeat.

==History==
Future of the Fortress threads started out as discussions of the [[Dwarf Fortress Development|development logs]], called "Future of the Fortress" at the time. They eventually changed into a question and answer format.

Future of the Fortress

2026-08-11T13:27:27Z

Voliol: /* Future of the Fortress replies */ add links to the June-August 2026 replies, and the forgotten March+April 2025 replies

'''Future of the Fortress''' is the name of a series of threads on the [[Bay 12 Forums]]. [[Toady]] will periodically get around to a "Future of the Fortress reply", where he will answer any unanswered questions. Other forum members answer questions if the answers can be found elsewhere or the question is a repeat.

==History==
Future of the Fortress threads started out as discussions of the [[Dwarf Fortress Development|development logs]], called "Future of the Fortress" at the time. They eventually changed into a question and answer format.

Voliol:

== Interwikis ==

Hi GeloMor. I noticed an issue with interwikis while visting your wiki, whenever I go back here I seem to be logged out and If I try to log I get a security warning. I believe the issue is with interwiki table base string using http instead of http'''s'''. Any chance you can check it? --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 20:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
: The issue is most likely due to the fact that dfwk does not support ssl and all links inside wiki are http. Currently, wiki is moving to another hosting. After that such problems will probably be resolved. Unfortunately, I can't say exactly when works will be finished. --[[User:GeloMor|GeloMor]] ([[User talk:GeloMor|talk]]) 17:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
:: Thank you for taking the time to check and address this, and good luck with your move when it comes! --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 18:14, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
::: Forgot to report back, the issue should be resolved currently. --[[User:GeloMor|GeloMor]] ([[User talk:GeloMor|talk]]) 15:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

== Remember to use 'minor' ==

Hi GeloMor :). Just a little reminder to use the "This is a minor edit" checkbox when making, well, minor edits. It makes them not bog up the search when filtering to only show significant wiki edits. --[[User:Voliol|Voliol]] ([[User talk:Voliol|talk]])

Release information/53.16

2026-08-06T08:30:20Z

Voliol: add link to Beyond Quality Awards

{{release notes}}
:This patch adds some quality of life features, fixes some bugs, and addresses some issues with the [[Release_information/53.15|extinct creatures patch]]. A key cause of overindulging tavern patrons was fixed. Dinosaurs grow more slowly and dinosaur people have their missing attack types. Divine objects are visible, generally, and visiting scholars should stop walking off with your books and scrolls. And many more!
:—[[Toady One]], August 5, 2026

:Hey Urists,
:We're back and celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dwarf Fortress this week with a special show, Myth & Magic at and music updates and a patch. While Myth & Magic work is very much underway, we also have patch 53.16 today which fixes a bunch of things. We are also preparing to go to Gamescom at the end of the month to show a first-look of Myth & Magic gameplay that you'll be able to watch at home! Dabu and Simon also released their latest Dwarf Fortress track today.

The show starts today at 11am PT/ 2pm ET/ 7pm BT on the [https://www.twitch.tv/kitfoxgames Kitfox Twitch channel] ([https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2838060900 VOD]).

**Procedural content generation has garnered more attention in recent years, both in indie games and AAA titles. Unfortunately, there is no "one algorithm to rule them all". PCG techniques are necessarily as wide and varied as their potential implementations. Using examples from the speakers' own work, this lecture presents 6 practical ways to implement AI-driven procedural content generation in games.

**Procedural generation changes the design approach of every system it touches, offering infinite variation. But how is it used in a concrete way, for developers actually at work on their game? Designers from Dwarf Fortress and Moon Hunters will share their tools and methods for implementing procedurally generated experiences, by live-editing their game systems during this session.

Future of the Fortress

2026-05-06T12:30:58Z

Voliol: /* Future of the Fortress replies */ added recent replies

'''Future of the Fortress''' is the name of a series of threads on the [[Bay 12 Forums]]. [[Toady]] will periodically get around to a "Future of the Fortress reply", where he will answer any unanswered questions. Other forum members answer questions if the answers can be found elsewhere or the question is a repeat.

==History==
Future of the Fortress threads started out as discussions of the [[Dwarf Fortress Development|development logs]], called "Future of the Fortress" at the time. They eventually changed into a question and answer format.

{{old|Bogeymen were updated with 0.47.01, are now restricted to certain evil regions and gained new powers}}

[[File:bogeyman_sprite_preview.png|right]]A '''bogeyman''' {{Tile|ñ|0:1}} is a procedurally-generated [[night creature]] which is mostly known for attacking unwary [[adventurer mode|adventurers]] who [[Adventurer mode#Fast Travel|travel]] or [[Adventurer mode#Sleep|sleep]] outside at night, alone, within those [[Sphere|domains of evil affiliated with shadows or nightmares]] – both fast travelling and travelling normally on the local map trigger the appearance of bogeymen. The bane of many a young adventurer, bogeymen can prove to be deadly foes for the inexperienced and the unprepared.

Graphically, the default sprites that bogeymen use will be of black, mysterious-looking creatures that resemble the generated appearance they've been given. This same setup is used for other procedurally-generated creatures, such as [[megabeast]]s and [[demon]]s. However, given the fact that bogeymen can transform into other creatures, they can borrow other sprites as well.

== Characteristics ==
[[File:bogeymen_transforming_anim.gif|thumb|275px|right|Two bogeymen transforming in the [[object testing arena]].]][[File:Bogeyman Attack.png|thumb|286px|right|A group of bogeymen attacking a hapless adventurer.]]A number of different types of bogeyman are procedurally generated at every world creation, similar to [[night troll]]s. Their numbers are normally dependent on world size, but can be directly controlled with [[advanced world generation]] – if you prefer not having to deal with bogeymen, generating a world with "{{tt|Number of bogeymen types}}" set to {{tt|0}} in advanced world generation will ensure that no bogeymen exist in your world.

While procedurally generated, bogeymen all possess certain characteristics in common. They are all [[fanciful]], evil-aligned humanoids with either extra or missing features; for example, some bogeymen are generated with wings and thus have the ability to fly, but this doesn't usually affect adventurers unless they too can fly. Others might be generated with appendages such as horns which can be used to gore the bogeyman's prey. All bogeymen are intelligent creatures, and reading their description will reveal the bogeyman "hurls vicious insults constantly". Bogeymen are restricted to regions aligned with [[demon]]ic evil, particularly the [[sphere]]s of nightmares or darkness. Bogeymen can be summoned by [[necromancer]]s with the appropriate [[secret]]s, and by nightmare-aligned [[demon]]s.

Bogeymen are by far the smallest of all night creatures (save transformed small creatures), ranging from 10,000 cm³ to 20,000 cm³, making the largest bogeymen only as big as a [[kobold]]. However, this doesn't mean they should be underestimated; all bogeymen possess Expert [[skill]] in [[wrestling]], [[Combat skill|biting, fighting, striking, kicking, dodging]] and [[Observer|observing]], on top of being one of the most agile types of creature in the game, which makes them exceptionally hard to hit. Bogeymen can [[Amphibious|breathe underwater]], [[No Exert|feel no exertion]], [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]] and are [[No Pain|immune to pain]], nausea, dizziness and fevers. Bogeymen need no food, water or sleep to survive, nor do they need to breathe, meaning they cannot be drowned or strangled. Interestingly, their raws also reveal an [[Trapavoid|immunity to traps]], the ability of [[building destroyer|destroying buildings]] and a [[pet]] value of 2,000; due to not existing in [[Fortress mode]], bogeymen never get to destroy buildings or interact with [[trap]]s, and they don't possess the necessary tokens to be [[Animal trainer|trained]] even if they did spawn in fortresses.

Bogeymen have the powers to transform into animals, as well as to 'call upon the night' and summon other creatures – including more bogeymen! They do this, presumably, by using the [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|Summon interaction]]. This can make even a single bogeyman quickly turn into several, which then each begin to summon wild animals such as [[tiger]]s. More research needs to be done on the exact limitations of these abilities, and exact data is difficult to extrapolate due to summon interactions being both new and difficult to reverse engineer.

Bogeymen dissolve into harmless smoke shortly after being killed. Severed body parts can be picked up, but they, too, vaporize quickly. However, it is sometimes possible to keep them if you pick them up and fast-travel away before they start smoking. They can't be animated by [[necromancer]]s.

During a bogeyman attack, the "give up" option in the {{k|Esc}} screen becomes {{DFtext|Give in to the night.|7:1}} Selecting this will end the game immediately – if you end the game in this way, you will be described in [[legends mode]] as having {{DFtext|died in the dark.|7:0}}

Bogeymen summoned in fortress mode are friendly.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] bogeymen for their ''terror-inspiring antics''.

== Avoiding bogeymen ==
Bogeymen can be avoided by not traveling in evil, nightmare-aligned regions, and having a companion is no longer necessary to avoid them.

When you are [[ambush]]ed by bogeymen, you will get the message:

{{gametext|You are surrounded by incessant cackling.|5:1}}

A turn after receiving this message, 4–6 bogeymen will begin spawning around you.

If you try to travel or sleep/wait while at least one of the bogeymen is still alive, you will receive the message:

{{gametext|You are still surrounded by cackling.|5:1}}

Interestingly, bogeymen will be friendly towards creatures with the {{token|NOFEAR}} token. Playing as one of those will make you totally safe from bogeymen; in an unmodded game, the (three currently) available creatures with this token are humanoid arachnid people: the [[bark scorpion man]], the [[brown recluse spider man]], and the [[jumping spider man]]. It doesn't prevent bogeyman encounters, however; sleeping in the wilderness may still result in getting surrounded by cackling, and the bogeymen will still teleport towards you, as well as prevent you from sleeping or traveling.

Bogeymen will ambush [[werebeasts]], and are as unfriendly as anyone else toward them, but will vanish on their own within the game hour.

== Dealing with bogeymen ==
If you're playing as an adventurer with a [[gait|speed]] of over 1000, you may be able to run away from bogeymen. However, there is no escaping the night. No matter where you run, the bogeymen will teleport near you if you ever get too far away. You can get rid of these pesky creatures in three ways:

=== Killing them all ===
The most obvious solution. However, it is probably the most difficult one for inexperienced adventurers, and anyone who attempts to do this should be well-prepared. Once your adventurer becomes skilled, this will become a usually trivial task, but don't underestimate their blows. See the "Fighting bogeymen" section for more information.

=== Surviving until dawn ===
Bogeymen will be [[smoke|vaporized]] by the [[The Sun|morning sun]], so if you can't kill them but are able to run away from them or dodge/block their attacks well, you have another option: keep on doing that until dawn breaks. Unfortunately, this can take quite a while, depending on the time of night you were ambushed.

=== Entering a shelter ===
"Shelter" here refers to (non-ruined) buildings, (currently used) paved roads, (inhabited or uninhabited) lairs (including shrines and labyrinths) and [[cave|caves]]. Seeking refuge in such a place will make the bogeymen disappear in a puff of smoke. Incidentally, this was one of the reasons why townspeople encouraged you to spend the night in their homes. You can find the nearest shelter by examining the map in your {{k|Q}}uest Log.

Once you succeed in doing one of the above, you'll get the message:
{{gametext|The cackling fades away.|5:1}}
and then you can get back to adventuring. They will not attack again for the rest of the night.

Note that even if you successfully defeat bogeymen using any of the three methods described above, you can never get rid of them permanently, as they will ambush you again some other night if you do not take precautions.

== Fighting bogeymen ==
Bogeymen are tough because they have very high agility, giving them a high speed and are naturally skilled in unarmed combat and dodging, so their punches hurt and they are difficult to hit. With low weapon skills you'll have a hard time hitting them, but once you can hit them they become very easy to kill. If you know how to fight them effectively, they will go down surprisingly easily. Here are a few tips for fighting them:

*A [[shield]] is invaluable, as getting hit can break your bones and quickly spell your death. Ditto for some [[armor]].
*Legendary [[weapon skill]] or near is highly recommended to help overcome their dodging.
*Carefully planned maneuvering is the key to survival.
*Use your [[size]] to your advantage. Bogeymen are surprisingly small relative to the playable races available in unmodded games. Set your combat preference to '''charge''', and you will knock them over every time you strike. This can easily give you the upper hand in battle, as being prone slows bogeymen down and gives you more time to act.
*Wrestling moves will usually work. Bogeymen are so small that they have a hard time breaking wrestling holds from the other races. They do not feel pain so breaking bones will not disable them, but breaking a leg will slow them down.


Remember, prone bogeymen are much slower, so charge at them as often as you can, so you can knock them off their feet. You could also try to sever off feet or legs, as this will make them permanently prone. If you are carrying a lot of heavy objects, it might be a good idea to drop your backpack or, better yet, [[thrower|throw]] the [[weight|heavier]] and/or pointier objects at the bogeymen if they are not too close to you.

If you are not opposed to cheesy tactics, or just too slow to run away, you can instead block their line of sight by setting grass fires. If you can create at least a partial or full circle of fire around you, the terrestrial bogeymen will be unable to fight you. Once the bogeymen lose sight of your adventurer, it becomes a trivial game of throwing whatever can be grabbed. If you're feeling particularly vindictive, you can jump out of the fire behind them, and just behead them. Be wary of trees, as bogeymen have no qualms about climbing their way to you from above.

If you are really desperate for speed, you might also want to consider dropping your [[armor]] if it is slowing you down too much. Note that, while the extra speed might very well prove vital for your survival, you will also be more exposed to bogeymen attacks and will probably die faster if they manage to attack you and you are not a good [[dodger]]. You might want to consider keeping your helmet-a punch to the head by one of these creatures can easily ram your skull through your brain and end your life.

Despite what your imagination might imply, bogeymen are actually organic creatures. This means that they can be killed by damage to the brain, beheading, bisection (the separation of the lower body from the upper body) and excessive blood loss, and it is also generally easy to sever limbs and break bones. However, like a number of other night creatures, bogeymen do not feel pain and do not breathe, so they do not receive pain-related penalties or die from suffocation. This means that the most effective [[weapon]]s to use against them are edged weapons. With sufficient weapon skill, it is easy to score a hit that will sever a limb or puncture a vital organ such as the heart. Due to their small size, it is also easy to chop off the head or the lower body, killing the bogeyman instantly.

*Whatever you do, don't allow yourself to get surrounded. If a group of bogeymen are approaching you from one direction, move in the opposite direction. This generally leads to them approaching you in a line rather than a group, as the fastest bogeyman reaches you first. Thus you can fight them one at a time if you are fast enough.
*Don't let bogeymen get the initiative. If you let the bogeyman attack you, their skilled punches will likely break a bone and you'll be dead. So you should charge at one, attack it and run away before it has the chance to strike back.
*If the odds are against you, don't hesitate to flee. Remember that you don't need to kill bogeymen to get rid of them – you just have to survive the night or enter a shelter. Thus you should try to run in the direction of the nearest [[town]], [[fortress]], [[cave]] or [[lair]]. If you have a high enough speed, running away should actually be quite easy, as the bogeymen won't be able to catch up with you despite their constant teleportation. If a bogeyman manages to get too close to you, charge at it to knock it over and slow it down, and then continue running.
*Above all, remember that [[Losing|losing is fun]]!

== Summoning ==
Very rarely in world generation, a deity aligned with both the spheres of "death" and "nightmares" will create a [[necromancer]] [[secret]] that allows the creation of bogeymen. The resulting activated ability allows the user to conjure a bogeyman, who will appear at a random location fixed around the conjurer. The bogeyman will still be hostile to the summoner. Due to the lack of sphere relations between death and nightmares, a deity that can grant a bogeyman-summoning slab is unlikely, and even in such cases the slab may not contain the secret at all.

[[File:nightmare_sprite_preview.png|right]]'''Nightmares''' {{Tile|Ñ|0:1}} are procedurally-generated, [[fanciful]] [[night creature]]s summoned by [[necromancer]]s and [[demon]]s{{Verify}} to fight in battle, larger than [[dwarf|your]] [[human|standard]] [[elf|humanoids]], but smaller than [[titan]]s and [[forgotten beast]]s. They are short-lived, and neutral to creatures with {{token|NOFEAR|c}}. Nightmares summoned in fortress mode will be friendly. When summoned, nightmares will possess Talented [[skill]] in [[Observer|observing]], [[Fighter|fighting]], [[wrestling]], [[Biter|biting]], [[Striker|striking]], [[Kicker|kicking]] and [[dodging]]. They do not need to [[sleep]], [[eat]] or drink, feel no [[pain]] (though still have nerves that can be [[Wound|damaged]], therefore affecting motor function), cannot be stunned, feel no fear, completely avoid [[traps]], don't need to breathe, or feel dizziness, nausea, have [[Creature_token#EXTRAVISION|extravision]], and never get tired from over-exertion.

Graphically, the sprites that nightmares use will be of black (or sometimes grey), mysterious-looking creatures that resemble the generated appearance they've been given. This same setup is used for other procedurally-generated creatures, such as [[bogeyman|bogeymen]] and [[experiment]]s.

Since they are procedurally-generated, their in-game appearance (which can be seen by spawning them in the [[object testing arena]]) will vary by world, but will always end with: "Now you will know why you fear the night." This same quote is associated with [[bogeymen]]. By default, there are multiple nightmare types per world, and the number can be set in [[Advanced_world_generation#Number_of_Nightmare_Types|advanced world generation]]. Like many procedurally-generated creatures in the game, not only can their appearance be randomized, but the color of their blood.

As with all procedurally generated creatures how much of a threat they are varies greatly, however their large size and innate combat skills along with the possibilities of procedural generation means an adventurer can end up fighting something above a [[semi-megabeast]] in threat. A [[necromancer]]'s ability to summon them is arguably their currently most dangerous ability, though the nightmare may also end up fighting their summoner's undead minions.

All nightmares are linked with the [[sphere]]s of misery, night, and - unsurprisingly - nightmares.

Some dwarves [[preferences|like]] nightmares for their ''unfathomably horrifying nature.''

[[File:night_troll_preview.png|right]]'''Night trolls''' {{Tile|Ñ|2:0}} are a type of procedurally generated [[night creature]]. They are supernatural monsters which kidnap non-[[goblin]] [[civilization|civilized]] beings, transform them into spouses, and then mate with them to produce young. The children are all the same sex as the original night troll, never that of the spouse, except if they breed somehow in fortress mode. In [[adventurer mode]], night trolls and their spouses can be given as the targets of [[quest]]s. They are not related to normal [[troll]]s.

Graphically, the default sprites that night trolls use will be of black, mysterious-looking creatures that resemble the generated appearance they've been given. This same setup is used for other procedurally-generated creatures, such as [[bogeyman|bogeymen]] and smaller [[experiment]]s. The sprites night trolls use are smaller than those of other procedurally-made creatures, such as [[demon]]s, [[angel]]s and [[megabeast]]s.

==Characteristics==
[[File:Night_troll.jpg|thumb|310px|right|''Art by anonimus'']]A number of different types of night trolls are procedurally generated at every world creation, similar to [[Bogeyman|bogeymen]] and [[titan]]s. Their numbers are normally dependent on world size, but can be directly controlled with [[advanced world generation]] - a world seed with "{{tt|Number of Night Troll Types}}" set to {{tt|0}} in advanced world generation will not have any night trolls in it. Not all night troll species are named as such - the possible names, apart from words indicating night, evil, or darkness, include bridegroom, crone, freak, groom, hag, horror, man, monster, ogre, ogress, troll, and woman. Night trolls belong to the [[sphere]]s of death and night, and will be named appropriately.

While procedurally generated, night trolls all possess certain characteristics in common: They are all [[fanciful]], evil-aligned humanoids with either extra or missing features; for example, large feathered women, or large skinless one-eyed men with horns and trunks. Some night trolls possess wings which give them flight, though they will only use them to fight adventurers who are also flying. Their description always gives their movement method (e.g. ''moves with uneven, jerking motions'') and detailed descriptions of their skin (smooth, rough, warty, leathery, etc.). Their [[lair]]s are mounds or holes in the ground with [[door]]s or [[hatch cover]]s. Depending on the night troll, they can contain various tools (knives, forks, meat cleavers), small amounts of discarded [[coin]]s and [[clothing]] from their victims, [[corpse]]s, organs or skeletons of sentient creatures prepared as [[food]], cauldrons of [[blood]] or [[water]] with various food (meat, bones, full skeletons, vermin remains, rarely parts of armor), [[bone meal]], and ground [[vermin]], victim skulls as trophies, and even [[quern|querns]]. Most night troll lairs are inhabited by a single creature, but sometimes you'll encounter entire families of five or even ten. The night trolls' lairs, [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60554.msg1729406#msg1729406 according to Toady One], have a unique tag that causes items placed there to not be scattered around or rot.

All night trolls possess Talented [[skill]] in [[wrestling]], [[Combat skill|biting, fighting, striking, kicking, dodging]] and [[Observer|observing]], on top of possessing bonuses to all body [[attribute]]s. Night trolls can [[Amphibious|breathe underwater]], [[No Exert|feel no exertion]], [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]] and are [[No Pain|immune to pain]], nausea, dizziness and fevers. Night trolls need no food, water or sleep to survive, nor do they need to breathe, meaning they cannot be drowned or strangled. Interestingly, their raws also reveal an [[Trapavoid|immunity to traps]], the ability of [[building destroyer|destroying buildings]] and a [[pet]] value of 2,000; due to existing in [[fortress mode]] only if the player embarks on their lair, night trolls almost never get to destroy buildings or interact with [[trap]]s, and they don't possess the necessary tokens to be [[Animal trainer|trained]] (but some species of night trolls are SLOW_LEARNER and very rarely, possibly because of a bug, could become minions of goblins). All night trolls can sense unseen living creatures as {{Raw Tile|☼|4:0:1}} in a similar manner to [[vampire]]s, though this cannot normally be observed, as night trolls are not a playable race.

The potential size range of night trolls is unknown, but it is known to vary greatly, from slightly bigger than a [[dwarf]] to as large as an adult [[deer]]. Spouses are sometimes smaller than their captors, but this depends on the night troll species. Adventurers are able to [[smell]] night trolls with {{k|o}}, with them being described as smelling variously like "death", "cooked flesh" or "bug innards".

Dwarves may [[Preferences|like]] a species of night troll for their ''macabre ways''.

==Reproduction==
As stated above, night trolls must kidnap a non-[[goblin]] [[civilization|civilized]] being and transform their victim into another night troll of the opposite sex (the process by which this is done is not known, nor is the reason why it cannot be done on goblins) in order to reproduce, but what is curious is that the kidnapping troll can be either male or female, and a given world is easily capable of having multiple trolls of both sexes. When the kidnapped victim is transformed into a night troll, they will share the same name as their captor, but with the inclusion of something indicating their spousal status. For example, a "Dusk Brute" will turn its victim into a "Dusk Brute consort" or "Spouse of the Dusk Brute", with the exact same appearance as the captor.

The reason why night trolls seek out victims to kidnap in the first place, instead of simply breeding amongst themselves is unknown, but the fact that night troll young are always the same sex as the non-kidnapped parent suggests there may be some sort of issue with attempted reproduction between "natural-born" night trolls (the offspring being sexless, unable to come to term, etc). Since night trolls are heavily implied to be sapient, there could also simply be a cultural stigma against mating with a night troll you didn't kidnap and transform yourself, although if this were the case it would raise the question of why they have their transformation ability in the first place.

It is not known whether spouses can mate with another spouse of the opposite sex (or even with any night troll at all, aside from the one that transformed them), although this would of course be quite a rare event even ''if'' possible. Whether spouses can kidnap and transform spouses of their own (such as if the night troll that originally abducted them dies) is also unknown.

An interesting aspect of night troll reproduction is that it qualifies as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_isolate Genetic Barrier], meaning that natural-born male night trolls and natural-born female ones would eventually diverge into separate species if genes and mutation were added as game mechanics, since a mutation that arose amongst one sex would have no way of making it into the gene pool of the other.

If night trolls give birth in fortress mode, the children will be friendly. Night trolls will not haul their babies, except if dfhacked into being a citizen of your fort.

==Fighting night trolls==
Night trolls are somewhat challenging opponents in battle, but not especially dangerous if encountered alone, though one is very capable of dispatching the overconfident. Since they are fairly large, wrestling them is quite difficult, though still possible, and they are a bit harder to harm with blunt attacks than humans. In addition, they are immune to pain and do not need to breathe, so they cannot be made to pass out and will not suffocate.

Night trolls can, rarely, wield one of the butchery [[tool]]s generated in their [[lair]]s, like boning knives or meat cleavers. Usually they will attack unarmed and can, due to their large size, cause serious harm with their punches, kicks and especially bites. In fact, teeth are usually their most dangerous weapon, so if the night troll in question is holding a cutting tool, you'd best ''not'' disarm it, since they always prioritize armed attacks. Avoid the spine in particular: this is never a mortal [[wound]] for a night troll, since they don't need lung function to live; all it will do is make them unable to use their legs or, if they have any, wings - both of which can already be disabled with aimed blows - and then leave them forced to always use their ''strongest'' attack.

Night trolls can die from blood loss, brain damage, beheading and bisection (cutting off the lower body). They never wear clothing or [[armor]], and, therefore, are quite susceptible to having limbs cut off - hacking and slashing attacks work remarkably well against them. Do be especially wary of trolls and other night creatures that also possess horns.

{{D for Dwarf}}
It is rumored by some that certain night trolls consider the destruction of the spine a rite of passage, demonstrating not just their superiority over [[Civilizations|their livestock]] in not needing to breathe, but also how strong they can be when freed from the distractions of things like punches, stabbing, flying, or kicks, and how easily they can catch up to their pathetic prey even without legs. Indeed, the loss of their upper or middle spinal nervous tissue is no emblem of handicap, but rather the catalyst for an epiphany of clarity in combat, as well as a show of just how dedicated the night troll is to utterly stamping their metaphorical boot on the hopes of any dwarf, elf, human, or goblin that is stupid enough to get in their way (and then proceeding to smash and rend any life out of them before promptly making them into steaks for their psychotic tea parties). The titans could only wish to be able to emulate such unmistakable malice and ill will.

{{Translation

| elvish = Imirafathiri
| goblin = Xustxuuzet
| human = Conistipoth
}}
'''Roomcarnage''' is a v0.34.11 fortress presented in the style of a serialized epic. Over the course of more than seventy updates since June 2014, it chronicles the rise of the dwarves of the Momentous Dye in a particularly interesting embark location: a [[terrifying]] [[glacier]] [[volcano]] that rains [[elf]] blood. The most notable feature of the fortress is the ongoing weaponization of the volcano itself, finally realized in the twenty-second installment.

In addition to the constant reanimation of dead animals, dwarves, and parts thereof; foul fog zombie liaisons and caravans; and a mysterious vampire cult, the dwarves of Roomcarnage have dealt with the horrors of nakedness, encroaching FPS death, and — worst of all! — alcohol deprivation.

The (as of March 2024 still ongoing) story may be read [http://roomcarnage.com/index.html here]. Its thread on the Bay 12 Forums is [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139393.0 here].

{{av}}
[[File:v50_surroundings_preview.png|450px|right]]'''Surroundings''' affect the types of [[crop|plant]] life, wild [[animal]]s and [[creatures]] which will appear in play within a given [[biome]]. The surrounding type is formed of two components: spirit and savagery. It is possible to start a [[fortress]] that overlaps multiple alignment types (for example, a terrifying [[forest]] and a calm [[shrubland]]). Some players consider this desirable, as it provides diversity in your little corner of the world, but it also has its dangers in the form of more ferocious wildlife.

Some plants and animals are unique to a certain type of surroundings and will only be found if those surroundings are present on the map. Note that most creatures also require a specific [[climate]] to spawn in. Again, it's important to check the specific biomes making up your site. Once a [[creature]] spawns on the map, it is under no compulsion to stay in its own biome and can roam as it pleases. Because of this, the specifics of what means what can be difficult to pin down sometimes.

[[Cavern]]s are not affected by alignments, despite some subterranean creature definitions including an alignment. Good creatures like the [[gorlak]], evil creatures like the [[troll]] and savage creatures like the [[giant cave spider]] can be found in any cavern, regardless of whether the fortress is settled in good/evil/savage surroundings or not.

Selecting surroundings is the closest (but not the only) thing to selecting a difficulty for the game. Surroundings may be removed in the 'Myth & Magic' update.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf//index.php?topic=169696.msg8341484#msg8341484] This version of the game currently does not have the surrounding types show as color-coded, though the information box at the side of the screen will still inform the player of any type of surroundings the player's cursor hovers over.

== Combinations & characteristics of surroundings ==
The names given to different areas will reflect their moral standing. For example, good biomes may be named "The Hills of Sweetness" while an evil one may be named "The Prairie of Agony". Neutral biomes will generally have more generic names, such as "The Beige Jungles". Not all worlds will contain every kind of combinations. For example, a world that is low in savagery may not contain Joyous Wilds surroundings.

[[File:good_biome_v50.png|thumb|120px|left|A sharp green good biome.]]'''Good''' biomes tend to have less aggressive (often {{token|BENIGN}}) and weaker [[creatures]], except for the [[unicorn]]. They also tend to have more [[fanciful]] creatures than neutral biomes. Good regions also support the wild [[sun berry]], which makes the best [[alcohol]] in the game. There are generally slight changes between ''Benign Good'' and ''Savage Good''. Though these biomes are the safest in the game, they can still come with a challenge. Therefore, players should still not be too complacent.

Good biomes will appear to have more vibrant colors than their neutral and evil counterparts, and may also have yellow flowers. Good savage biomes will have pink flowers instead. Frozen areas will have a sparkle to them. In ASCII mode, good regions will appear as blue.

[[File:neutral_biome_v50.png|thumb|120px|left|A generic, neutral biome.]]'''Neutral''' regions are the easiest to understand. They generally mimic the real world, with recognizable wildlife. They can be quite dangerous depending on the region, holding anything from benign and weak weasels, to the generally non-aggressive but physically powerful [[elephant]]s, to the very aggressive and very dangerous [[giant eagle]]s. As one might expect, ''Benign Neutral'' zones are really very safe, while ''Savage Neutral'' areas can pose some major difficulties, depending on the dominating climate, landforms, [[giant badger|or]] [[giant kea|wildlife]]. You'll find most of the standard aboveground plants in these alignments, such as [[prickle berry|prickle berries]], [[rope reed]], [[strawberry|strawberries]] and the like.

===Evil===
:Including {{DFtext|Sinister|5:0}}, {{DFtext|Haunted|5:1}} and {{DFtext|Terrifying|5:1}}

[[File:bad_biome_v50.png|frame|left|Dark brown patch of an evil biome.]]'''Evil''' regions are much more dangerous and strange than their ''Neutral'' and ''Good'' counterparts across the board. First, in addition to the ordinary wildlife native to the biome, various other [[creatures]] that are nasty, dangerous, and spiteful such as [[beak dog]]s, [[harpy|harpies]], and [[ogre]]s can be found in evil regions.

Evil regions may exist either on their own (where they are known as "primordial" evil regions) or they may be caused by the presence of [[demon]]s or [[necromancer]]s ruling over a [[site]] in it (known as "circumstantial" evil regions). An evil region possesses [[sphere]]s associated with the entities, if any, inhabiting it, which influences the surroundings to some extent. E.G: Blight, death, and disease regions kill plant life, while nightmare regions are home to [[Bogeyman|bogeymen]]. Primordial evil areas are eternal, but circumstantial evil regions may fade away if there is no activity in the area, making it possible to revert it back to normal. Presumably, slaying the demons or necromancers responsible for the corruption is the way to do so.

Most evil regions have associated evil [[weather]]. Evil clouds can inflict various [[syndrome]]s on par with those of [[forgotten beast]]s, or instantly transform creatures into freakishly powerful [[Undead#Thralls, Husks, and_Zombies|thralls]]. Evil rains may also inflict random evil syndromes, albeit less severe ones, and always cause unhappy [[thought]]s and a desire to wash (evil!). Evil rain won't refill pools, but a single evil biome may have both evil and regular rain, even at the same time.

About half of all evil regions are "reanimating", meaning that all wildlife and plantlife will be [[undead]], and any creature that dies will, after a short time, be reanimated as undead. Undead are hostile to all living creatures, and feel no fear or pain. In general, undead wildlife is '''extremely''' dangerous, especially in Terrifying regions, since the undead may include zombified fliers that swoop down and rip your dwarves to shreds with little to no warning at all, and even discounting those, typically harmless creatures like [[beaver]]s will turn out to be necro-buffed monstrosities that are out for all living blood.

Undead can only be killed in [[combat]] by beheading, bisection, or pulping damage, or otherwise by [[Butcher|butchering]], [[Cave-in|cave-ins]], [[Dwarven atom smasher|particle physics]], or good old fashioned [[Magma|magma]]. Beheading, bisection and butchering may leave remains that can be reanimated; any partial corpse or body part that is not "mangled" and contains at least one hand or head can reanimate. This includes [[skin]], and even [[hair]] left over from butchering or shearing. Remains can reanimate while your dwarves are processing them, frightening any nearby dwarves and canceling job orders. That being said, reanimated hair is not much of a threat and your dwarves will likely quickly dispatch them. The resulting mangled remains can still be processed just like the original material, but without the risk of job cancellations. {{clear}}

Creatures that can [[Building destroyer|destroy buildings]], [[Trapavoid|avoid traps]] or [[Steals items|steal items]] will retain these abilities in undeath. Undead do not need to breathe, so they will not be stopped by rivers or moats, and aquatic undead can and will come ashore. Furthermore, the usual strategy of dealing with wildlife by avoiding confrontation is impossible since the undead will always stay in a state of "perpetually murderous towards all living beings" no matter how much you decide to bother them. Maybe a [[vampire]] or [[necromancer]] can help?

If your [[Embark|embark]] site spans multiple biomes then only the evil part will have the reanimating effect, and only wildlife appearing from that side will be undead. The reanimating effect extends all the way underground. The trees at embark may all be dead, and though they can be cut down for logs, will not regrow. Undead shrubs are useless for [[Herbalist|gathering]], too.

When embarking in a reanimating evil region, it is advised to move everything underground as soon as possible, and immediately set up plenty of [[trap]]s and/or a [[military]] armed with blunt weapons. Be very careful with [[refuse]] stockpiles and butcher's shops. Keep livestock to a minimum, as they are a liability. Needless to say, hunting is a very bad idea.

Evil regions are so inhospitable that beginners might find evil surroundings—even ''Benign Evil''—too difficult. Still, players may wish to embark in such surroundings for <s>a challenge</s> [[fun]].

Evil regions can appear on the map as either dark brown or a dim sandy brown. Ice will also appear more dim. Savage evil areas may show more wormy tendrils. In ASCII mode, evil areas can appear as magenta, grey and red; brown can be seen in ocean and lake areas. There is no functional difference between these regions.

: ''So, in ASCII, for most regions (not oceans apparently), there's a special variable that says whether an evil region is gray-red, or light/dark magenta. It defaults to zero, which is the magenta version, but when the "evilify" region function is called, it is randomized from 0-1. There's also a version of this function used for circumstantially evil areas, and it appears to also set the variable from 0-1. If either of those things aren't working, then the colors would probably all be magenta.''

===Savage===
: Including {{DFtext|Untamed Wilds|6:1}}, {{DFtext|Joyous Wilds|3:1}} and {{DFtext|Terrifying|5:1}}

'''Savage''' surroundings are the only surroundings which have [[giant animal|giant]] and [[animal people|humanoid]] versions of some animals. It is also possible that two groups of animals happen outside on a savage biome, instead of one. They are also far more varied in wildlife than the other biomes. Graphically, good savage biomes can have pink flowers, even in barren biomes, while evil savage biomes may show more wormy tendrils. Savage icy, frozen areas will have cracks in the ice. Oceanic savage areas will show more erratic looking waves.

Most of the creatures in savage biomes will leave you alone, especially the animal people, who are harmless (with a few exceptions), and most of the giant creatures will not be hostile, but then again, a savage biome may just surprise you with [[giant kea]]s or [[giant badger]]s, and some of the creatures found in savage biomes are dangerous indeed. If you don't know what to expect, just look it up. "Savage Good" regions are called Joyous Wilds, "Savage Neutral" regions are called Untamed Wilds, and "Savage Evil" regions are called <s>excessively fun</s> Terrifying.

Savage biomes also house [[whip vine]]s, a high-value millable/brewable aboveground crop, and [[highwood]]s, a slow-growing tree that can grow as thick as 3×3.

As of v50.01, animals can become ''agitated'', which increases their proactive desire to attack your dwarves. This behavior occurs only in Savage regions.

Civilizations, except for [[elf|elves]], who are naturally at peace with animals, typically do not settle in high-savagery regions, which may cause problems during [[world generation]] if the game can't find enough low-savagery regions to place civilizations in.

====Distinctive flora & fauna====
* Animals: above-ground [[animal people]], [[giant animal]]s, [[giant desert scorpion]] (pre-[[Release information/0.42.04|0.42.04]]), [[sasquatch]], [[sea serpent]], [[yeti]]
* Plants: [[whip vine]]
* Trees: [[highwood]]
* Vermin: [[acorn fly]], [[fox squirrel]], [[moghopper]], [[two-legged rhino lizard]]

The following [[token]]s can be used to define and use interactions. (''It appears that, at least in order to make the big list make a little more sense, [[DF2014:Necromancer#Modding|some]] [[DF2014:Interaction_examples|examples]] of those may be necessary.'')

! Description

|-
| {{text anchor|INTERACTION}}
| Global
| ID
| Used to start defining a new interaction. The term "interaction ID" refers to the text specified within this token; this is used to make reference to the interaction in various other places.

|-
| {{text anchor|EXPERIMENT_ONLY}}
| Global
|
| Disallows use of the interaction in play, but if the interaction animates or resurrects corpses, or has an I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT tag, it can be used in worldgen. Animation and resurrection interactions do not need I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT to work in worldgen.

|-
| {{text anchor|I_SOURCE}}
| Global
| type
| Defines what things are capable of triggering this interaction - multiple sources may be specified. Valid values:
* '''CREATURE_ACTION''' - Specifies that the interaction may be used in conjunction with [[Creature_token#CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]] and [[Syndrome#CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]], but it isn't actually necessary for this. It might exist simply to allow for the inclusion of IS_ tokens (detailed below) to be applied when the interaction is used in this context.
* '''ATTACK''' - Allows the interaction to be used in conjunction with [[Creature_token#SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION|[SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION]]] and [[Syndrome#CE_SPECIAL_ATTACK_INTERACTION|[CE_SPECIAL_ATTACK_INTERACTION]]].
* '''INGESTION''' - Allows the interaction to be used in conjunction with [[Syndrome#CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION|[CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION]]].
* '''DEITY''' - Allows the interaction to be inflicted upon mortals by the gods, for reasons dictated by [[Interaction_token#IS_USAGE_HINT|[IS_USAGE_HINT]]].
* '''SECRET''' - Allows the interaction to act as a secret which can be learnt and passed on to others, as specified via [[Interaction_token#IS_SECRET|[IS_SECRET]]]. Appropriate [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|interaction effects]] with a [[Interaction_token#IE_TARGET|creature target]] will be applied to individuals who learn the secret. It is possible to set restrictions on who may learn the secret by using creature target tokens as described below. Also see [[Interaction_token#IS_SECRET_GOAL|[IS_SECRET_GOAL]]] and [[Interaction_token#IS_SPHERE|[IS_SPHERE]]].
* '''REGION''' - Allows the interaction to take place spontaneously in regions specified using [[Interaction_token#IS_REGION|[IS_REGION]]]. Also see [[Interaction_token#IS_FREQUENCY|[IS_FREQUENCY]]] and [[Interaction_token#IE_INTERMITTENT|[IE_INTERMITTENT]]].
* '''DISTURBANCE''' - Allows the interaction to take place spontaneously in disturbed [[tomb|tombs]]; generated interactions with this token are used to create [[mummy|mummies]].
* '''UNDERGROUND_SPECIAL''' - Allows the interaction to take place spontaneously in [[Demonic fortress|curious underground structures]] (which have since been removed {{version|0.40.01}}); generated interactions with this token used to be used to produce [[undead|zombies]] when creating the structure's inhabitants.
* '''EXPERIMENT''' - This can be used by NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTERs while "performing horrible experiments" in worldgen. Only seems relevant for interactions that target living creatures. Note that all NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTERs have access to generated experiments, and due to the large number of generated experiments available custom experiment interactions will tend to show up very rarely.

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_HIST_STRING_1}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| text
| Describes what the interaction did to a historical figure; this is displayed in legends mode following the name of the historical figure who performed the interaction and preceding the name of the targeted historical figure (or, in the case of [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:INGESTION]]], the historical figure from whom the consumed material was extracted).

[IS_HIST_STRING_1: cursed]

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_HIST_STRING_2}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| text
| Describes what the interaction did to a historical figure; this is displayed in legends mode after the name of the historical figure who was targeted by the interaction. In the case of [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:INGESTION]]], it is displayed after the name of the historical figure from whom the consumed material was extracted.

[IS_HIST_STRING_2: to assume the form of a lizard-like monster every full moon]

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_TRIGGER_STRING}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| text
| Displayed as an announcement when the interaction is carried out during play. The text follows the name of the target unit, and is preceded by [[Interaction_token#IS_TRIGGER_STRING_SECOND|IS_TRIGGER_STRING_SECOND]] or [[Interaction_token#IS_TRIGGER_STRING_THIRD|IS_TRIGGER_STRING_THIRD]]. May be limited to [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:DEITY]]] and [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT]]] interactions at present; this still needs to be tested.

[IS_TRIGGER_STRING: been infected with a contagious ghoulish condition]

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_TRIGGER_STRING_SECOND}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| text
| Presented before the [[Interaction_token#IS_TRIGGER_STRING|IS_TRIGGER_STRING]] when describing the event in the second person.

[IS_TRIGGER_STRING_SECOND: have]

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_TRIGGER_STRING_THIRD}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| text
| Presented before the [[Interaction_token#IS_TRIGGER_STRING|IS_TRIGGER_STRING]] when describing the event in the third person.

[IS_TRIGGER_STRING_THIRD: has]

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_NAME}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| string
| Generally used with [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:SECRET]]] interactions to describe what the secret is about (though it may be used to name any I_SOURCE). This name is engraved onto the appropriate secret-containing slabs from worldgen, and is used in legends mode when describing the secret being learnt by historical figures.

[IS_NAME:the secrets of life and death]

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_SPHERE}}
| Within I_SOURCE:SECRET
| [[Sphere#Available_spheres|sphere]]
| Indicates the [[sphere]] to which this secret pertains. Only one sphere can be defined for each [I_SOURCE:SECRET] token, so several [I_SOURCE:SECRET] tokens are required to make a secret belong to multiple spheres.

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_SECRET_GOAL}}
| Within I_SOURCE:SECRET
| Secret Goal token
| Indicates why somebody would want to learn the secret. Valid values:
* '''STAY_ALIVE'''
* '''MAINTAIN_ENTITY_STATUS'''
* '''START_A_FAMILY'''
* '''RULE_THE_WORLD'''
* '''CREATE_A_GREAT_WORK_OF_ART'''
* '''CRAFT_A_MASTERWORK'''

* '''SEE_THE_GREAT_NATURAL_SITES'''
* '''IMMORTALITY'''
* '''MAKE_A_GREAT_DISCOVERY'''
* '''ATTAIN_RANK_IN_SOCIETY'''
* '''BATHE_WORLD_IN_CHAOS'''
However, currently only IMMORTALITY will result in a secret being pursued during worldgen.

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_SECRET}}
| Within I_SOURCE:SECRET
| Secret Flag
| Indicates how the secret can be learned. Valid values:
* '''SUPERNATURAL_LEARNING_POSSIBLE''' - gods may gift the secret to their worshippers. Secrets with [[Interaction_token#IS_SPHERE|[IS_SPHERE]]] specified may only be granted by gods who have at least one matching sphere.
* '''MUNDANE_RESEARCH_POSSIBLE''' - the secret can be researched by mundane means. This doesn't do anything at present. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8243222#msg8243222].
* '''MUNDANE_TEACHING_POSSIBLE''' - the secret can be taught to apprentices
* '''MUNDANE_RECORDING_POSSIBLE:objects/text/(book_title).txt:objects/text/(book_topic).txt''' - the secret can be written in books with the specified title. If this tag is present, a slab will be created upon learning the secret by supernatural means.

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_USAGE_HINT}}
| Within I_SOURCE:DEITY
| Usage Hint token
| Indicates why a deity would choose to perform this interaction. See [[Interaction_token#USAGE_HINT|CDI:USAGE_HINT]] below for valid values - in this context, '''MINOR_BLESSING''', '''MEDIUM_BLESSING''', '''MINOR_CURSE''', '''MEDIUM_CURSE''', and '''MAJOR_CURSE''' are the only values that make sense.

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_REGION}}
| Within I_SOURCE:REGION
| Region type
| Indicates what types of regions are capable of performing this interaction. This token may be specified several times per I_SOURCE to permit multiple terrain/alignment types. Valid values:

* '''ANY''' permits the interaction to occur in all regions, regardless of terrain or alignment

[[Biome|Terrain]]:

* '''DESERT'''
* '''FOREST'''
* '''GLACIER'''
* '''GRASSLAND'''
* '''HILLS'''
* '''LAKE'''
* '''MOUNTAINS'''
* '''OCEAN'''
* '''SWAMP'''
* '''TUNDRA'''
* '''ANY_TERRAIN''' permits the interaction to occur in all regions which meet alignment specifications

[[Surroundings#Combinations & characteristics of surroundings|Alignment]]:

* '''NORMAL_ALLOWED'''
* '''EVIL_ALLOWED'''
* '''GOOD_ALLOWED'''
* '''SAVAGE_ALLOWED'''
* '''EVIL_ONLY'''
* '''GOOD_ONLY'''
* '''SAVAGE_ONLY'''

|-
| {{text anchor|IS_FREQUENCY}}
| Within I_SOURCE
| Probability
| When used with [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:REGION]]], determines how likely it is for the region(s) specified via [[Interaction_token#IS_REGION|[IS_REGION]]] to possess this interaction.

Note: it appears that regions aren't allowed to possess more than a single regional interaction at present.

|-
| {{text anchor|I_TARGET}}
| Global
| ID, type
| Defines the targets available for subsequent use with [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[I_EFFECT]]] tokens. Multiple targets may be specified; the precise target(s) used with each interaction effect are indicated via their ID (see [[Interaction_token#IE_TARGET|[IE_TARGET]]]). Valid values:
* '''CORPSE''' - The target is a [[Item_token#CORPSE|CORPSE]] or [[Item_token#CORPSEPIECE|CORPSEPIECE]] item.
* '''CREATURE''' - The target is a [[Creature|unit]].
* '''MATERIAL''' - This is a valid target for use in [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]]] interaction effects, and is used to set the material or flow type of the emission. This information, in turn, is either obtained from an [[Interaction_token#IT_MATERIAL|[IT_MATERIAL]]] token or by using [[Interaction_token#IT_LOCATION|[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]]]. Using the latter implies that the precise emission info will be provided when defining [[Interaction_token#Breath_attacks|how an interaction user can use the interaction in question via CDI tokens]], enabling one to create 'template' material emission interactions such as the MATERIAL_EMISSION and MATERIAL_EMISSION_WITH_HIDE interactions included in the vanilla raws.
* '''LOCATION''' - The target is a [[tile|local map tile]]. If used with [[Interaction_token#IT_LOCATION|[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE_OR_LOCATION]]], creatures at the target tile are also valid targets.

|-
| {{text anchor|IT_LOCATION}}
| Within I_TARGET
| Location
| This is often included after [[Interaction_token#I_TARGET|[I_TARGET]]] token to add more detail about the target. Valid values:
* '''CONTEXT_CREATURE''' - Used with CREATURE to target the whole unit.
* '''CONTEXT_BP''' - Used with CREATURE to target the body part specified in [[Interaction_token#BP_REQUIRED|[CDI:BP_REQUIRED]]].
* '''CONTEXT_LOCATION''' - Used with LOCATION to target only a tile.
* '''CONTEXT_CREATURE_OR_LOCATION''' - Used with LOCATION to allow for targetting of both creatures and tiles.
* '''CONTEXT_ITEM''' - Used with CORPSE.
* '''CONTEXT_REGION''' - Can only be used by [[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:REGION]]] interactions.
* '''CONTEXT_MATERIAL''' - Used with MATERIAL if you want an [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]]] to obtain the emission material/flow type from [[Interaction_token#MATERIAL|[CDI:MATERIAL]]] or [[Interaction_token#FLOW|[CDI:FLOW]]].
* '''RANDOM_NEARBY_LOCATION''' - Used with LOCATION. Targets a location from somewhere random within a number of squares from another LOCATION target specified by its target ID. For example, [I_TARGET:B:LOCATION] with [IT_LOCATION:RANDOM_NEARBY_LOCATION:A:5] will randomly select a tile lying somewhere within a radius of 5 tiles from [I_TARGET:A:LOCATION]. A walkable path between the two locations must exist.

|-
| {{text anchor|IT_MANUAL_INPUT}}
| Within I_TARGET
| text
| Tells the adventure mode player what they should be selecting. If not specified, the player will only be able to target themselves.

|-
| {{text anchor|IT_AFFECTED_CREATURE}}

| Within I_TARGET:CORPSE or I_TARGET:CREATURE
| Creature token or property
| Indicates that the target must have the specified property. Valid values:
* '''FIT_FOR_ANIMATION''' - Any corpse or body part that can become a zombie (heads, hands, etc.)
* '''FIT_FOR_RESURRECTION''' - The target corpse's UPPERBODY must be attached.
* '''HAS_BLOOD'''
* '''MORTAL'''
* '''NO_AGING'''
* '''STERILE'''
* Creature token: '''BLOODSUCKER, CAN_LEARN, CAN_SPEAK, CRAZED, EXTRAVISION, MISCHIEVOUS''' (or '''MISCHIEVIOUS'''), '''NO_CONNECTIONS_FOR_MOVEMENT, NO_DIZZINESS, NO_DRINK, NO_EAT, NO_FEVERS, NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN, NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST, NO_SLEEP, NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT, NOBREATHE, NOEMOTION, NOEXERT, NOFEAR, NONAUSEA, NOPAIN, NOSTUN, NOT_LIVING, NOTHOUGHT, OPPOSED_TO_LIFE, PARALYZEIMMUNE, SUPERNATURAL, TRANCES, UTTERANCES'''

|-
| {{text anchor|IT_FORBIDDEN}}
| Within I_TARGET:CORPSE or I_TARGET:CREATURE
| Creature token or property
| Indicates that the target must not have the specified property. Valid values are the same as for IT_REQUIRES.

|-
| {{text anchor|IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED}}

| Within I_TARGET:CORPSE or I_TARGET:CREATURE
| [[Syndrome]] class
| Prevents the interaction from targeting a creature under the effects of a syndrome having the specified SYN_CLASS value.

|-
| {{text anchor|IT_MATERIAL}}
| Within I_TARGET:MATERIAL
| type
| Specifies the type of material the interaction targets; currently only used for [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|MATERIAL_EMISSION]] interaction effects. See [[Interaction_token#Breath_Attacks_Types|Breath Attack Types]]. Valid values:
* '''FLOW''':Breath attack token - The emission will consist of the specified special flow type.
* '''MATERIAL''':[[Material token]]:Breath attack token - The emission will consist of the specified material dispersed in the specified manner.
* '''CONTEXT_MATERIAL''' - Indicates the emission details should be obtained from [[Interaction_token#MATERIAL|[CDI:MATERIAL]]] or [[Interaction_token#FLOW|[CDI:FLOW]]].

|-
| {{text anchor|I_EFFECT}}
| Global
| type
| Specifies what the interaction does to the targets. Multiple [I_EFFECT]s may be specified in a single interaction, and the same type may be used more than once. Valid values:

* '''ADD_SYNDROME''' - Adds one or more syndromes to a valid creature target. You must specify the syndrome details just below this interaction effect using the <code>[[Syndrome#SYNDROME|[SYNDROME]]]</code> tag followed by the relevant syndrome tokens. See [[syndrome#The anatomy of a syndrome|here]] for more information.

* '''ANIMATE''' - Raises the target corpse/bodypart as an [[undead]] unit. The zombie will always be hostile to life and will retain no information about its original personality/loyalties. Syndromes can also be specified within this tag. If a regional interaction contains this effect, affected regions will have undead wildlife.

* '''RESURRECT''' - Takes a target corpse and returns the creature to life. This can be used on parts that are not FIT_FOR_RESURRECTION, but only the main part (with an UPPERBODY attached) will remain loyal to its original faction. Syndromes can also be specified within this tag.

* '''CLEAN''' - Removes [[Contaminant|contaminants]] from a valid creature target. See {{token|IE_GRIME_LEVEL|in}} and {{token|IE_SYNDROME_TAG|in}}.

* '''CONTACT''' - Causes the creatures to touch.

* '''CHANGE_ITEM_QUALITY''' - Alters an item's quality level as indicated by either {{token|IE_CHANGE_QUALITY|in}} or {{token|IE_SET_QUALITY|in}}. When targeting a unit, all items equipped by that unit will be affected.

* '''SUMMON_UNIT''' - Creates a new unit at the target. The type of unit can either be specified using the {{token|CREATURE|in}} token, or made to be randomly selected as indicated by a variety of flag-based tokens: {{token|IE_CREATURE_FLAG|in}}, {{token|IE_FORBIDDEN_CREATURE_FLAG|in}}, {{token|IE_CREATURE_CASTE_FLAG|in}}, {{token|IE_FORBIDDEN_CREATURE_CASTE_FLAG|in}}, {{token|IE_HAVE_FAST_EFFORTLESS_GAIT_SPEED|in}} and/or {{token|IE_ALL_SLOW_EFFORTLESS_GAIT_SPEED|in}}.

* '''CHANGE_WEATHER''' - Changes the weather as specified by {{token|IE_ADD_WEATHER|in}} and/or {{token|IE_REMOVE_WEATHER|in}}.

* '''RAISE_GHOST''' - Present in version 0.47.01 and accepted as a valid I_EFFECT token, but does not have an effect currently.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_ARENA_NAME}}
| Within I_EFFECT
| text
| Allows the interaction effect to be applied directly to newly spawned creatures in [[object testing arena|arena mode]]. The specified name is used to represent it within the creature creation [[Object_testing_arena#Effects|effects list]].

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_TARGET}}
| Within I_EFFECT
| ID
| Specifies which [[Interaction_token#I_TARGET|I_TARGET]] a particular interaction effect will be applied to. For example, in an interaction with the token [I_TARGET:B:CREATURE], 'B' is the ID used to indicate this target option. [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME] followed by [IE_TARGET:B] would therefore apply the syndrome to this target. Certain types of interaction effects require multiple IE_TARGET tokens in a specific order to function properly. A few effects do not require a target at all.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_INTERMITTENT}}
| Within I_EFFECT
| Frequency
| Only appears to work with [I_SOURCE:REGION] interactions. Indicates that the effect happens intermittently and specifies roughly how often. Regional interactions aren't able to use effects which lack this token. Valid values:
* '''WEEKLY'''

Note: DAILY, MONTHLY and YEARLY also exist in the string dump but don't appear to work at present.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_IMMEDIATE}}
| Within I_EFFECT
|
| Indicates that the effect happens immediately.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_LOCATION}}
| Within I_EFFECT
| Location Hint
| Prevents the interaction effect from manifesting unless the target is in a location which meets the specified criteria.
Valid values:
* '''IN_WATER'''
* '''IN_MAGMA'''
* '''NO_WATER'''
* '''NO_MAGMA'''
* '''NO_THICK_FOG'''
* '''OUTSIDE'''
A [[Water#Depth|depth]] of 1/7 is sufficient for IN_WATER and IN_MAGMA.

Note: NO_THICK_FOG and OUTSIDE are accepted as valid location hints when specified with IE_LOCATION, but don't appear to work. It's possible that they're currently only implemented for use with <code>[[Interaction_token#LOCATION_HINT|[CDI:LOCATION_HINT]]]</code>.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_ADD_WEATHER}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CHANGE_WEATHER
| type
| Indicates what type of weather is added. Valid values:
* '''FOG_MIST'''
* '''FOG_NORMAL'''
* '''FOG_THICK'''
* '''FRONT_WARM'''
* '''FRONT_COLD'''
* '''FRONT_OCCLUDED'''
* '''STRATUS_ALTO'''
* '''STRATUS_PROPER'''
* '''STRATUS_NIMBUS'''
* '''CUMULUS_MED'''
* '''CUMULUS_MULTI'''
* '''CUMULUS_NIMBUS'''
* '''CIRRUS'''

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_REMOVE_WEATHER}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CHANGE_WEATHER
| type
| Indicates what type of weather is removed. See [[Interaction_token#IE_ADD_WEATHER|above]] for a list of valid weather types.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_GRIME_LEVEL}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CLEAN
| amount?
| [IE_GRIME_LEVEL:2] appears in the default cleaning interaction, and may indicate amount of grime cleaned.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_SYNDROME_TAG}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CLEAN
| syndrome trigger flag
| When a creature cleans off a [[contaminant]] which is associated with a [[syndrome]], the syndrome will be contracted if it has a matching [[Syndrome#The_anatomy_of_a_syndrome|trigger flag]]. This is what enables [[cat]]s to become slightly inebriated when licking off [[alcohol]]. '''SYN_INGESTED''' appears to be the only syndrome trigger flag that works in this context.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_PROPEL_FORCE}}
| Within I_EFFECT:PROPEL_UNIT
| amount
| Indicates the amount of force that the target will be propelled with.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_ITEM}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CREATE_ITEM
| <probability>:<quantity>:[[item token]]:[[material token]]
| Defines what item will be created.

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_ITEM_QUALITY}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CREATE_ITEM
| <[[Item_quality|quality]]> OR <minimum [[Item_quality|quality]]>:<maximum [[Item_quality|quality]]>
| Defines what [[Item quality|quality]] the created item shall have. Can either be specified in the form of a single, fixed quality (it seems that ARTIFACT can only be used in this manner), or a minimum and maximum level (in which case the quality is selected randomly). Valid values (numerals only except for ARTIFACT):
* '''0''' = ordinary
* '''1''' = well-crafted
* '''2''' = finely crafted
* '''3''' = superior quality
* '''4''' = exceptional
* '''5''' = masterwork
* '''ARTIFACT'''

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_SET_QUALITY}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CHANGE_ITEM_QUALITY
| [[Interaction_token#IE_ITEM_QUALITY|quality level]]
| Defines a fixed [[Item_quality|quality]] level which the affected item(s) will be set to (decreasing or increasing in quality as necessary). See [[Interaction_token#IE_ITEM_QUALITY|above]] for a list of valid quality levels (but note that ARTIFACT cannot be used in this effect).

|-
| {{text anchor|IE_CHANGE_QUALITY}}
| Within I_EFFECT:CHANGE_ITEM_QUALITY
| amount
| Determines how much the [[Item_quality|quality]] of the item(s) will be changed. For instance, improving a well-crafted -item- ([[Interaction_token#IE_ITEM_QUALITY|quality level]] 1) by 2 will turn it into a superior-quality *item* (quality level 3). A negative value can be used to decrease quality. Quality cannot be increased beyond level 5 (masterwork) or decreased below level 0 (ordinary).

|-

==Usage==
To enable a particular type of creature to use an interaction directly, the [[creature token]] <code>[[Creature_token#CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:<interaction name>]]]</code> should be added to its creature raws (replacing '<interaction name>' with the ID of the desired interaction; for an interaction called <code>[INTERACTION:CLEANING]</code> in the raws, the ID would be "CLEANING"), followed by a series of [CDI:...] tokens as detailed below.

Interactions can also be granted to individual creatures via [[syndrome]]s using the syndrome effect token <code>[[Syndrome#CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION|[CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]]</code> followed by <code>[[Interaction_token#INTERACTION|[CDI:INTERACTION:<interaction name>]]]</code> and additional CDI tokens as required.

The following is a list of valid CDI tokens. Precede them with "CDI:" in the style of <code>[CDI:ADV_NAME:Clean]</code>, for example.
{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#C0C0C0"
! Token
! Arguments
! Description

|-
| {{text anchor|INTERACTION}}
| ID
| Specifies which interaction can be performed. This is only needed following [[Syndrome#Special_Effects|CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION]]; there's no need to include this after [[Creature_token#CAN_DO_INTERACTION|CAN_DO_INTERACTION]] as the latter allows you to specify the interaction directly (as explained [[Interaction_token#Usage|above]]).

|-
| {{text anchor|ADV_NAME}}
| text
| Specifies the name of the interaction as it will appear on the [[Adventurer_mode|adventure mode]] 'powers/abilities' menu.

|-
| {{text anchor|TARGET}}
| target ID, target types
| Specifies how the creature chooses what to target. Target ID refers to an I_TARGET defined in the interaction itself. Multiple target types can be specified. If no target is specified, creature will target any available target within range, even through walls. Valid target types:
* '''LINE_OF_SIGHT''' - the source needs to be able to see the target
* '''TOUCHABLE''' - the source needs to be able to touch the target
* '''DISTURBER_ONLY''' - the target must be whoever disturbed the source (this is currently only relevant to [[mummy|mummies]], allowing them to curse solely the unit who disturbed their [[tomb|resting place]])
* '''SELF_ALLOWED''' - the target can be the source
* '''SELF_ONLY''' - the target '''must''' be the source

|-
| {{text anchor|TARGET_RANGE}}
| target ID, range
| Determines the maximum distance from the interaction user (in [[tile]]s) at which something can be considered a valid target. For [[Interaction_token#SOLID_GLOB|SOLID_GLOB]], [[Interaction_token#SHARP_ROCK|SHARP_ROCK]], [[Interaction_token#LIQUID_GLOB|LIQUID_GLOB]] and [[Interaction_token#FIREBALL|FIREBALL]] breath attacks, also determines how far the projectiles can fly before falling to the ground.

|-
| {{text anchor|MAX_TARGET_NUMBER}}
| ID, number
| Specifies the maximum number of things that can be selected for a particular I_TARGET.

|-
| {{text anchor|LOCATION_HINT}}
| Location Hint
| Prevents CPU-controlled creatures from using the interaction unless they are in a location which meets the specified criteria. See [[Interaction_token#IE_LOCATION|above]] for a list of valid location hint values.

|-
| {{text anchor|USAGE_HINT}}
| Usage hint token
| Indicates when and how CPU-controlled creatures will use the interaction. If no hint is specified in fortress mode, the interaction will be performed at the every opportunity in combat. Multiple usage hints may be specified. Valid values:
* '''GREETING''' - Creatures will target 'friendly' creatures, usually at random.
* '''ATTACK''' - Targets enemy creatures in combat. If the interaction specifies SELF_ONLY, CPU-controlled creatures will never use it.
* '''DEFEND''' - Used in combat. Creature will target itself.
* '''FLEEING''' - Used when fleeing an enemy. Creature will target itself.
* '''CLEAN_SELF''' - Creature targets itself when its body is covered with [[contaminant]]s.
* '''CLEAN_FRIEND''' - As above, but targets other friendly units instead.
* '''NEGATIVE_SOCIAL_RESPONSE''' - Used when a creature is expressing contempt (for example, to a murderer). This is used in the default spitting interaction, for example.
* '''TORMENT''' - This is also used in the default spitting interaction, and is presumably used in a similar context.
* '''MINOR_BLESSING''' - Used in divination dice blessings. Targets the roller.
* '''MEDIUM_BLESSING''' - Used in divination dice blessings. Targets the roller.
* '''MINOR_CURSE''' - Used in divination dice curses. Targets the roller.
* '''MEDIUM_CURSE''' - Used in divination dice curses. Targets the roller.
* '''MAJOR_CURSE''' - Used in disturbance and deity curses. Targets the tomb disturber/temple defiler.

|-
| {{text anchor|WAIT_PERIOD}}
| number
| The creature must wait the specified number of [[time|ticks]] before being able to use the interaction again. The delay defaults to 20 ticks if this is omitted. Setting it to 0 removes the delay altogether.
Note: A WAIT_PERIOD of 10 is 10 ticks long in [[fortress mode]], but only 1 tick long in [[adventurer mode]].

|-
| {{text anchor|FREE_ACTION}}
|
| Indicates that performing the interaction doesn't take any time.

|-
| {{text anchor|BP_REQUIRED}}
| Body part criteria
| Indicates that a particular body part must be present in order to perform the interaction. Criteria are '''BY_CATEGORY:'''[[Body_token#CATEGORY|category]], '''BY_TYPE:'''type (GRASP, for example), or '''BY_TOKEN:'''[[Body_token#BP|token]] (uses the body part ID). See [[Body_token|body token]].

|-
| {{text anchor|VERBAL}}
|
| Only creatures that [[Creature_token#CAN_SPEAK|can speak]] will be able to use the interaction. Might also be needed for VERBAL_SPEECH.

|-
| {{text anchor|VERBAL_SPEECH}}
| filename
| Specifies what the creature says when they perform the interaction. Filename path is relative to /data/speech.

|-
| {{text anchor|CAN_BE_MUTUAL}}
|
| Presumably allows two creatures with the same interaction to use it on each other simultaneously, for example, cats cleaning each other.

|-
| {{text anchor|VERB}}
| self:other:mutual
| When a creature uses the interaction, a combat report message will be displayed in the form:

[interaction user(s)] [VERB text] [target creature (if applicable)]

The 'self' text is presented when describing the interaction in the second person (that is, when the interaction is carried out by the player character in [[adventure mode]]), the 'other' text is presented when describing it in the third person, and the 'mutual' text is presented when the interaction is carried out in a [[Interaction_token#CAN_BE_MUTUAL|mutual]] fashion.

[CDI:VERB:lick:licks:lick each other]

[CDI:VERB:gesture:gestures:NA]

|-
| {{text anchor|VERB_REVERSE}}
| ?
| ?

|-
| {{text anchor|TARGET_VERB}}
| self:other
| When a creature uses the interaction, a message will display, describing the target as doing this.
[CDI:TARGET_VERB:shudder and begin to move:shudders and begins to move]

|-
| {{text anchor|FLOW}}
| [[#Breath Attack Types|Breath attack token]]
| Can be used with interactions that have [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]]] and [[Interaction_token#IT_LOCATION|[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]]] (or [[Interaction_token#IT_MATERIAL|[IT_MATERIAL:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]]]) to make the interaction emit a special flow type. Valid values:
* '''[[Interaction_token#FIREBALL|FIREBALL]]'''
* '''[[Interaction_token#FIREJET|FIREJET]]'''
* '''[[Interaction_token#DRAGONFIRE|DRAGONFIRE]]'''.

|-
| {{text anchor|MATERIAL}}
| [[Material token]]:[[Interaction_token#Breath_Attack_Types|Breath attack token]]
| Can be used with interactions that have [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[I_EFFECT:MATERIAL_EMISSION]]] and [[Interaction_token#IT_LOCATION|[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]]] (or [[Interaction_token#IT_MATERIAL|[IT_MATERIAL:CONTEXT_MATERIAL]]]) to make the interaction emit the specified material in the manner described by the [[Interaction_token#Breath_Attack_Types|breath attack token]] used.

|}

==Breath attacks==
Breath attacks are controlled by the MATERIAL_EMISSION interaction, like so:

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Breath custom material]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:MOUTH]
[CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:CUSTOMMATERIAL:TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW]
[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:50]

The most important part is this line:

[CDI:MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:CUSTOMMATERIAL:TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW]

The CDI refers to CAN_DO_INTERACTION; the MATERIAL states that this line shows what the material is. LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:CUSTOMMATERIAL is your material, and TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW refers to the breath attack type. Other types are seen below. Also important is this line:

[CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]

LINE_OF_SIGHT refers to where the target C may be; others include SELF_ALLOWED (presumably like LINE_OF_SIGHT, but with the creature allowed to target itself), SELF_ONLY (preferable for undirected attacks and TOUCHABLE (for up-close attacks, as trailing flows tend to be).

===Breath Attack Types===

'''[CDI:MATERIAL:<[[material token]]>:<material emission type>]'''

Is used to emit a specific material in a specific manner. A list of valid emission types can be found below.

Examples:

[CDI:MATERIAL:INORGANIC:GABBRO:[[Interaction_token#SHARP_ROCK|SHARP_ROCK]]]
shoots a sharp [[gabbro]] rock
[CDI:MATERIAL:PLANT_MAT:GRASS_CAVE_WHEAT:MILL:[[Interaction_token#UNDIRECTED_DUST|UNDIRECTED_DUST]]]
releases a cloud of [[Cave wheat|dwarven wheat flour]]
[CDI:MATERIAL:CREATURE_MAT:DWARF:TEARS:[[Interaction_token#SPATTER_LIQUID|SPATTER_LIQUID]]]
creates a pool of [[dwarf|dwarven]] tears

'''[CDI:FLOW:<flow emission type>]'''

Is used to emit one of the special hardcoded flow types ([[Interaction_token#FIREBALL|FIREBALL]], [[Interaction_token#FIREJET|FIREJET]] or [[Interaction_token#DRAGONFIRE|DRAGONFIRE]]).

Example:

[CDI:FLOW:[[Interaction_token#DRAGONFIRE|DRAGONFIRE]]]

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#ddd"
! Token
! Usage Type
! Description
|-
| {{text anchor|TRAILING_DUST_FLOW}}
| MATERIAL
| Shoots a trail of solid dust at the target. Appears to use [[cave-in]] dust physics, as the dust cloud will fling around anything it comes in contact with (including the creature who emitted it), making it capable of smashing creatures into the ground and flinging them over walls. Creatures caught in the dust cloud will be [[contaminant|covered]] with dust; this will trigger any associated [[Syndrome#SYN_CONTACT|contact syndromes]].
|-
| {{text anchor|TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW}}
| MATERIAL
| Shoots a trail of liquid mist at the target. Creatures caught in the vapor will be [[contaminant|covered]] with the condensed liquid; this will trigger any associated [[Syndrome#SYN_CONTACT|contact syndromes]].
|-
| {{text anchor|TRAILING_GAS_FLOW}}
| MATERIAL
| Shoots a trail of gaseous substance at the target. This can be inhaled, triggering any associated [[Syndrome#SYN_INHALED|inhalation syndromes]].
|-
| {{text anchor|TRAILING_ITEM_FLOW}}:[[item token]]
| MATERIAL
| Shoots a "cloud" of items at the target, leaving piles of this item on the floor. Note that this does ''not'' create the actual items or use falling item mechanics (meaning no flying daggers or Touhou-style barrages, unfortunately). Instead, this token acts as [[Interaction_token#TRAILING_GAS_FLOW|TRAILING_GAS_FLOW]], except that the material will use its ''normal'' temperature - for example, a breath attack of steel anvils will envelop the target in a "burst of steel".
|-
| {{text anchor|UNDIRECTED_DUST}}
| MATERIAL
| The creature releases a cloud of solid dust which spreads and dissipates. Similar to [[Interaction_token#TRAILING_DUST_FLOW|TRAILING_DUST_FLOW]], but undirected, thus affecting a larger area but losing the distance - range is roughly the same as that of a cave-in. Creature will attack as normal. <s>DO NOT USE THIS TAG UNLESS YOU WANT TO KILL THE CREATURE AND EVERYTHING NEAR IT AND SEND PEOPLE FLYING.</s> You know you want to.
|-
| {{text anchor|UNDIRECTED_VAPOR}}
| MATERIAL
| The creature releases a cloud of liquid mist which spreads and dissipates. Similar to [[Interaction_token#TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW|TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW]], but undirected, thus affecting a larger area but losing the distance.
|-
| {{text anchor|UNDIRECTED_GAS}}
| MATERIAL
| The creature releases a cloud of gaseous material which spreads and dissipates. Similar to [[Interaction_token#TRAILING_GAS_FLOW|TRAILING_GAS_FLOW]], but undirected, thus affecting a larger area but losing the distance.
|-
| {{text anchor|UNDIRECTED_ITEM_CLOUD}}:[[item token]]
| MATERIAL
| The creature releases a "cloud" of items at the target, leaving piles of this item on the floor. The same comments apply as [[Interaction_token#TRAILING_ITEM_FLOW|TRAILING_ITEM_FLOW]].
|-
| {{text anchor|WEATHER_CREEPING_DUST}}
| MATERIAL
| Creates a cloud of creeping dust. Not usable by creatures.
|-
| {{text anchor|WEATHER_CREEPING_VAPOR}}
| MATERIAL
| Creates a cloud of creeping vapor. Not usable by creatures.
|-
| {{text anchor|WEATHER_CREEPING_GAS}}
| MATERIAL
| Creates a cloud of gas that appears at the edge of the map and slowly creeps across the map. Not usable by creatures.
|-
| {{text anchor|WEATHER_FALLING_MATERIAL}}
| MATERIAL
| Causes it to start raining a particular material. If the material is solid at the outdoor temperatures, it will snow the material instead. Can transfer [[Syndrome#SYN_CONTACT|contact syndromes]]. Regardless of the nature of the material, being caught in it will give dwarves the negative [[thought]] of being 'caught in freakish weather lately'. Not usable by creatures.
|-
| {{text anchor|SOLID_GLOB}}
| MATERIAL
| Shoots a [[Item_token#GLOB|solid glob]] of spinning substance at the target, leaving a symbol similar to broken arrows, if it misses. Essentially a projectile weapon. If the [[Interaction_token#WAIT_PERIOD|cooldown rate]] is short enough, some creatures with this breath attack will not move, preferring instead to hold position and shoot globs at their enemies, even when they are right next to them.
|-
| {{text anchor|SHARP_ROCK}}
| MATERIAL
| Just like [[Interaction_token#SOLID_GLOB|SOLID_GLOB]], but more harmful, as it shoots a sharpened [[Item_token#ROCK|solid chunk]] of material instead.
|-
| {{text anchor|LIQUID_GLOB}}
| MATERIAL
| Shoots a [[Item_token#LIQUID_MISC|liquid glob]] of substance at the target. [[Syndrome#SYN_CONTACT|Contact syndromes]] will take effect if the glob hits the target's exposed skin.
|-
| {{text anchor|SPATTER_POWDER}}
| MATERIAL
| Creates a [[contaminant|pile of powder]] at the specified location.
|-
| {{text anchor|SPATTER_LIQUID}}
| MATERIAL
| Creates a [[contaminant|pool of liquid]] at the specified location.
|-
| {{text anchor|WEB_SPRAY}}
| MATERIAL
| Emits a burst of [[web]]s that entangle target creatures.
|-
| {{text anchor|DRAGONFIRE}}
| FLOW
| Emits a wide cone of [[dragon]] [[fire]] that burns target creatures at a scorching {{ct|50000}}.
|-
| {{text anchor|FIREJET}}
| FLOW
| Emits a narrow cone of [[fire]] that burns target creatures at {{ct|11000}}.
|-
| {{text anchor|FIREBALL}}
| FLOW
| Emits a fireball that burns the target creature.
|}

Keep in mind that you can give a creature multiple breath attacks, which appears to make the creature choose between them at random. Creatures cannot use the WEATHER effects, these being reserved for regional interactions.

One major difference between GAS, VAPOR, and DUST is that if the material cannot exist in the specified state at the current temperature, it will automatically be created at a temperature allowing it to exist. So if you create a vapor spray that uses rock or metal as a material, that spray will be created at the material's melting point, setting everything it touches on fire. You can also create a freezing spray by using a custom material that has extremely low melting and/or boiling points.

If you give a creature a material breath attack, be aware that it will be caught in the attack more frequently than its targets. Make sure to make your creatures immune to their own breath weapons!

==Creature and Caste Flags==

Certain interaction and syndrome effects (currently limited to [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|[IE_SUMMON_UNIT]]] and [[Syndrome#CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION|[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION]]]) permit modders to specify the required/forbidden creature and caste flags of the desired creature(s). These are a collection of internal flags which are derived from [[Creature_token|creature tokens]] but are not necessarily identical to them. The following lists contain creature and caste flag names as provided by Toady One in a FotF reply [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf//index.php?topic=169696.msg8099138#msg8099138] (valid as of 0.47.04).

Map legend

''Dwarf Fortress'' uses [[tileset]]s and [[Graphics|sprite graphics]] to draw the game, including maps. This '''map legend''' explains what the [[character table|characters]] and [[color]]s represent in the pre-start embark (or [[adventure mode|adventure]]) map.

== Tile colors ==
The colors of a map tile may give information about that region's predominant [[biome]] and [[surroundings]]; its temperature, alignment, and other handy things. Generally, cyan and blue means the area is "good" aligned. Purple, gray, brown, and red areas have "evil" alignment. Light grey, brown, and yellow areas usually are dry and have sparse vegetation. Green tiles have vegetation and are usually moist. White and cyan tiles indicate snow or ice. The color of trees that change season to season can tell about a tree's current [[tree#Growths|growth]].

In ASCII mode, the characters and their colors offer slightly more information about a biome, such as the temperature mixed with the moral standing of the biome (good, neutral and evil) compared to the graphics of the premium version of the game. With the graphics, the presentation is more simplified, as each biome type is displayed with the following graphical information: neutral, evil, evil savage, good and good savage. Some graphics are displayed the same, regardless of what type of biome or moral surroundings they are part of.

== Biome/Region key ==
Tiles are listed by alignment, with normal tiles first, then good-aligned tiles, and then evil tiles. Snow and ice-covered tiles are included next to their respective alignments.

=== Hills and mountains/Plains ===
Yellow hills or plains indicate dry vegetation.

[[File:tools_sprites_preview.png|right]]'''Tools''' are objects used for mundane purposes by civilians and [[night creature]]s. Some tools can also be used as [[weapon]]s, though it is usually much better to use, say, a [[sword]] over a carving fork. Other tools can be used by your dwarves in [[fortress mode]].

You can select these tools as starting equipment, if your adventurer hails from a human civilisation.

'''Sites''' are inhabited locations found on region tiles adjacent to at least one non-mountain land [[biome]]. These include settlements of any civilization, and caves habitable by named creatures. The type of site will be represented on maps in any mode with a tile that replaces the region tile. In adventure mode, the site becomes the default arrival location for travel to that region tile. Sites acquire a history that can be viewed in [[Legends mode]].

== Detailed Description ==
Sites are grouped by [[civilization]]s, which are organized groups of creatures (generally of the same race) which build these sites.

<h3 style="background: #eaecf0;"> Human sites </h3>

==== Towns [[File:Icon site city 1.png]] [[File:Icon site city 2.png]] [[File:Icon site city 3.png]] [[File:Icon site city 4.png]] / {{Raw Tile|+|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|*|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|#|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|☼|7:0:1}} ====
:Humans live in towns comprised of buildings and often a paved road. Human towns are highly modular, and are usually near some source of water, either the coast or a river. Towns appear on the fast travel map (when outside a site) as {{Tile|■|7:0:1}} or {{Tile|■|6:0:1}} symbols, which are small collections of buildings. When you are near a human site, large yellow blocks indicate where various houses and shops are found (though not all houses and shops can be found in these blocks; sometimes you'll find a house or two out in a site's fields). You usually have to follow the roads in a yellow block on the fast travel map. Towns usually have lots of interesting structures which are described fully in the [[town]] article.

==== Hamlets [[File:Icon site village.png]] / {{Raw Tile|æ|2:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|Æ|2:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|{{=}}|2:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|≡|2:0:0}} ====
:Most of the time, the majority of a human civilization's population will live in small [[hamlet]]s, which tend to be sprawled out along coastlines and through river valleys. Like other sites, they can be invaded, and you'll sometimes find them captured by other civilizations, [[necromancer]]s, or criminal syndicates. Human adventurers usually spawn in hamlets. Note that hamlets are similar in structure to towns, only they have mead halls instead of keeps, and don't have any defensive walls.

<h3 style="background: #eaecf0;"> Dwarven sites </h3>

==== Dwarf fortresses [[File:Icon site mountainhome.png]] / {{Raw Tile|Ω|7:0:1}} ====
:These are the randomly generated equivalent of the sites you build in [[fortress mode]]. [[Fortress]]es are described in detail in their own article. Their main function for adventurers is that they have a central, spiraling ramp that connects the underground and above-ground worlds, particularly in that they connect the subterranean tunnel networks to the rest of the dwarf civilization. They are located at the edges of mountain ranges. Player-made fortresses are considered dwarf fortresses by the game, in addition to the randomly-generated ones.

==== Mountain halls [[File:Icon site fortress.png]] / {{Raw Tile|Ω|0:0:1}} ====
:[[Mountain halls]] are the sites of the "deep dwarves," located far beneath the mountains. They can be accessed via down-stairs found in underground tunnels, and are comprised of a couple of levels that contain bedrooms and large halls filled with smelters or forges.

==== Hillocks [[File:Icon site hillocks.png]] / {{Raw Tile|Ω|7:0:0}} ====
:[[Hillocks]] are the dwarf equivalent to human hamlets. They consist of a few circular mounds, filled with dwarf citizens. There doesn't seem to be any settlement pattern for them; they are equally likely to be found in any land [[biome]].

<h3 style="background: #eaecf0;"> Elven sites </h3>

==== Forest retreats [[File:icon_site_ruin_forest_retreat1.png]] [[File:icon_site_ruin_forest_retreat2.png]] / {{Raw Tile|î|6:0:1}} {{Raw Tile|¶|6:0:1}} ====
:Elves live in [[forest retreat]]s located, unsurprisingly, in [[forest]] biomes. They are essentially clusters of huge [[tree]]s with elves standing in and around them.

<h3 style="background: #eaecf0;"> Goblin sites </h3>

==== Dark fortresses [[File:Icon site dark fortress 1.png]] / {{Raw Tile|π|0:0:1}} {{Raw Tile|π|5:0:1}} ====
:These are the main goblin sites. [[Dark fortress]]es contain a [[underworld spire|certain spoiler]].

==== Dark pits [[File:Icon site dark fortress 2.png]] / {{Raw Tile|º|5:0:0}}====
:These are the goblin equivalent of [[hamlet]]s and [[hillock]]s. [[Dark pits]] are essentially canyons lined with wooden guard towers. They tend to be built in huge clusters around the dark fortresses, such that large chunks of the map may be covered with them.

<h3 style="background: #eaecf0;"> Kobold sites </h3>
==== Caves [[File:Icon site cave.png]] / {{Raw Tile|•|0:0:1}}====
:[[Cave]]s are sometimes home to [[kobold]] groups. They are mounds filled with narrow tunnels leading to the [[caverns]] and usually contain piles of random loot resulting from kobold [[Thief|thieving]] incursions. Kobold caves often feature venom-coated traps or [[fun]] pets such as giant cave spiders, so beware. Some caves are inhabited by [[bandit]]s or [[megabeast]]s instead.

<h3 style="background: #eaecf0;"> Beast and night creature sites </h3>

==== Necromancers' towers [[File:Icon site necrotower.png]] / {{Raw Tile|I|5:0:0}} ====
:[[Necromancer]]s' towers are built by necromancers who have at least 50 followers; younger necromancers may take over towns or camps instead. Usually you can find [[book]]s written by the necromancer, some of which contain [[Necromancer#Adventurer_Mode|the secret to life and death]]. Towers require abundant human populations (low savagery, large tracts of neutral land) and a high number of secrets to be generated in world generation. Necromancers will rarely be elves or goblins, because elves and goblins are immortal (they lack a {{token|MAXAGE|c}} token) and therefore can't be obsessed with their own mortality. However, they may still acquire the secrets of life and death by reading them (e.g. in a necromancy [[book]] from your [[library]]) and gain the ability to raise corpses.

==== Lairs [[File:Icon site lair burrow.png]] / {{Raw Tile|•|0:0:1}}====
:[[Lair]]s are the homes of [[animal|predatory animals]], [[megabeast]]s, or [[night troll]]s. Lairs are mounds or holes in the ground. Night troll lairs have [[door]]s or [[hatch cover]]s. Most lairs are inhabited by a single creature, but sometimes you'll encounter entire families of them.

==== [[Minotaur]]s' labyrinths [[File:Icon site labyrinth.png]] / {{Raw Tile|#|0:7:0}}====
:A [[labyrinth]] is an intricate network of tunnels, often filled with the bodies of previous adventurers slain in [[World generation|worldgen]] by its resident [[minotaur]]. Each labyrinth contains a hidden chamber filled with treasures. As you explore the labyrinth, you will hear the minotaur taunting you.

==== Shrines [[File:Icon site shrine titan.png]] / {{Raw Tile|Å|7:0:0}} ====
:[[Shrine (megabeast)|Shrine]]s are huge stone structures surrounded by pillars that are the homes of [[Bronze colossus|bronze colossuses]] and [[titan]]s. Several of them can be found on a single site, making its exploration particularly hazardous. [[Clowns|Clowns]] have also been reported to inhabit them.

== Dwarf Fortresses ==
During the embark phase of Fortress Mode, sites can be seen in region and local views. Some site types can be included in the embark region; namely caves or previous player fortresses (Reclaim). Embarking on settlements is disabled. On embarking, the fortress becomes a site of the size and location chosen.

Abandoned fortresses are displayed on the map as Ruins.

{| class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #ccc;"
|-
| {{k|k}}
| Talk to somebody
|}

Now that you know how to kill people, you may also want to know how to talk to and otherwise interact with them in a less-violent manner - while this is less entertaining, it can sometimes be useful.

To begin a conversation or performance, press {{k|k}}. Unless someone else has already started a conversation with you (see below if someone has), you will get a cyan X that can be positioned over people you want to talk to with the normal directional keys. Use {{k|-}} and {{k|+}} to select who you want to talk to. Aside from individuals, you can also {{DFtext|Shout out to everybody}}, which will have you talking with everyone in earshot, or talk to your deity, or even {{DFtext|Begin Performance}} which includes such things as reciting poetry, telling stories or dancing, and is very important if you want to be a bard.

Whenever you want to advance the conversation, you have to press {{k|k}} again and choose the ongoing conversation you wish to continue. You will also see ongoing conversations from people who have started a conversation with you. If you want to talk to someone else during this time, simply {{DFtext|Start a new conversation}}.

* {{DFtext|Greet listener}} — Has you offering a greeting to someone, when you're initiating the conversation. You learn the listener's name.
* {{DFtext|Bypass greeting (new menu)}} — Skips the greeting, taking you straight to the normal conversation menus. You don't learn the listiner's name, e.g. the greasy-haired human.
* {{DFtext|Reply to greeting}} — If you aren't the one who started the conversation, this option will let you reply to someone's greeting. They will then talk about some trouble.
* {{DFtext|Refuse conversation}} — Causes you to explicitly refuse to talk to someone who started a conversation with you. Unknown if this has a different effect from simply not doing anything.{{Verify}}
* {{DFtext|Reply to greeting (impersonation)}} — Like {{DFtext|Reply to greeting}}, except you're impersonating a deity.
* {{DFtext|Nevermind}} — This has you back out of having a conversation.

The game shows the listener's attitude towards you in the upper-right corner. A good joke or compliment can ease tension, though a bad one might make things worse - try to get on their good side before asking them difficult questions. If you pester them too much, they may refuse to speak with you, saying "I must take my leave." Fortunately, deities don't seem to care if you blabber at them incessantly.

When you start talking to someone, you are presented with a wide array of things to talk about. (If the person you are talking to started the conversation and told you about some trouble, you'll first get a menu related to that trouble. Just press {{k|-}}-{{k|Enter}} to {{DFtext|Change the subject (new menu)}} to get to this first menu.) Your choices are as follows:

{| class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #ccc;"
| style="text-align:right;width:30%;" | {{DFtext|Return to current topic (new menu)}}

|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Bring up specific incident or rumor (new menu)}}

Doing so will start an argument with the listener if they have differing values, and can train your Persuader, Judge of Intent, Flatterer, Intimidator, and Pacifier [[social skill]]s depending on how you argue. If you win the argument, your opposition's [[Personality_trait|values]] will change to match yours. If you give in, yours will change. This can result in your needs changing.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Comment on weather}}
| Small talk about the weather. Really.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Comment on natural surroundings}}
| Same as the weather, only about the nature around you.

| Learn what it is the listener does. Useful for lords and ladies and anyone else whose profession isn't listed next to them. Can also potentially oust non-hostile bandits, if you aren't sure you have the right suspect. For children, you are told their age.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask about listener's family}}

|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Say goodbye}}

|}

Note that you can press {{k|Esc}} to not choose anything - because the conversation is still ongoing, you have to explicitly say goodbye to end it - pressing {{k|Esc}} is useful if you need to double-check something before talking.

Creature

2024-03-05T14:40:01Z

Voliol: /* Night creatures */ Rule T

{{Quality|Masterwork|14:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)}}
{{av}}{{Category|Creatures}}
[[File:creatures_preview2.png|right]]In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it. The creatures in the game range from being entirely realistic to completely mythical. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways.

Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are (e.g. [[monkey]]s having legendary climbing skill). Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to [[adventure mode]] or [[fortress mode]]. Some creatures are randomly and procedurally generated, meaning they could have many different sprites in-game. Creatures of that type may have just one to a few sprites showcased out of many in the list below. A question mark placeholder may also be shown instead.

Also note that creatures with the {{token|ARENA_RESTRICTED}} or {{token|DOES_NOT_EXIST}} tokens cannot be spawned in the [[object testing arena]], similarly to [[vermin]] (e.g. [[fly|flies]], [[worm]]s).

Many standard-sized creatures in the game take the space of a single tile, while many giant versions of creatures, including many types of beasts, may take up the space of more than one tile. There are roughly 680 creatures in the game.

==Spawning==
[[File:creatures_many.png|thumb|right|124px|Same concept, but in ASCII mode.]]The creatures that will spawn on any given fortress map depend on the biome(s) that the fortress is in. Additionally, there are several [[creature token|creature token]]s in the [[raws]] that deal with creature spawning:
*<tt>[FREQUENCY:X]</tt>: This tag dictates ''how often'' a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0-100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
*<tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines ''how many'' creatures will appear at one time on a map.
*<tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines the ''total number'' of this type of creature that can ever visit your fortress. The exact number varies, depending on the map.

For example, [[deer]] have a <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30]</tt>, meaning that if you kill between 15-30 deer, no more deer will ever visit your fortress.

==Reading the Table==
{{v50_creaturecurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:
* '''Graphic:''' The sprite assigned to the creature. Seen only in the [[Premium version|Steam version]].
* '''Tile:''' The tile assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.
* '''Name:''' The name of the creature as it displays in-game.
* '''Playable:''' If "No", the creature is not playable in any modes. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in fortress mode ({{token|SITE_CONTROLLABLE|e}}). "Adv" indicates that the creature is playable in adventure mode. All creatures except humans must have a population in an {{token|ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|e}} civilization in order to be playable in adventure mode; goblins (and other creatures) cannot be played from a goblin civ. Humans can be played whether or not a population exists due to {{token|OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE|c}}, but an {{tt|[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]}} civ still needs to have existed at some point. Creatures with {{token|LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|c}} are also playable in adventure mode.
* '''Hostile:''' If "Yes", then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral, or friendly. [[Undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.
* '''Food Source:''' If "Yes", then the creature can be butchered into an [[meat|edible substance]] that your dwarves will feed on.
* '''Adult Body Size:''' The average [[size]] of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]] to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. This value represents the creature's volume in cm3, which, for creatures made of flesh, more-or-less equals the creature's weight in grams.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163] These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredibly skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).
* '''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].
* '''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.
* '''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, including things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Note: If you wish to view alternate ways of sorting creatures, such as sorting by biomes and location, or sorting domestic creatures by features, there is a new page found here: [[Alternate creature sorting]]

==Creatures==
===Civilized===
====Main races====
These are intelligent creatures that form the dominant [[civilisation|civilized]] races of the world. While most are part of society, many have turned to [[Bandits|Banditry]].

:1. Whether or not you are hostile with select civilized races depends on the history of your game world, and its length. Shorter histories mean less ongoing wars and less general hostility, good for a newer player to learn the basics.
:2. Snatchers try to snatch children of other civilizations. Snatched individuals become part of the Snatcher's civilization.

Intelligent [[animal people]] that form crude civilizations underground, but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers.

=== Livestock and Domestic Animals ===


Creatures that have long been [[Domestic animal|domesticated]], and either play a part in the [[meat industry]], or are simply [[pet]]s to keep dwarves company. Note: Except for [[wagon]]s, domestic animals can be bought at embark, or requested from dwarven caravans. Animals of these types below that are caught in the wild with [[cage trap]]s can be tamed after only one session with an [[animal trainer]].

=== Wild Animals ===
This section includes wild [[animals]] as well as their giant and humanoid counterparts. Wild animals are mostly found roaming the wilderness. Many of them are predators, while others are benign, and will not attack unless being attacked first. Some will be drawn to your stockpiles to [[steals drink|steal drink]], [[Steals food|food]] or [[Steals items|something shiny]]. Some can be easily overcome, and yet others can be significant threats, like the dreaded [[elephant]].

====Agitation====
Disruption of the environment of a savage biome, such as deforestation or overfishing, may cause the appearance of "agitated" animals. Agitated animals, regardless of their normal behavior, will directly seek out and attack dwarves. Agitation can be removed by [[Taming|taming]].

== Night Creatures / Other ==


===Night creatures===
These creatures are either vicious creatures that attack in the night, or are created through certain [[Interaction token|interaction]]s - be it a condition of the game, or intentionally by another creature.

:1. In some worlds, intelligent experiments escape their creators and join normal civilizations. They will then be playable in adventurer mode. 
:2. The player cannot normally start out as an intelligent undead, but can [[unretire]] a former adventurer that has been resurrected. This can also be done (without unretiring) by using [[adventurer party|adventurer parties]]. 
:3. The player cannot start out as a necromancer, but can gain necromancer powers by reading a slab or book containing the secrets of life and death. 
:4. The player cannot start out as a vampire, but can become one if feeding on spilled vampire blood. [[Animal people]] with the ability to suck blood can also gain vampirism by blood-sucking a vampire during combat.

[[File:value_icon.png|100px|right]]'''Item value''' is determined by a number of factors: the form of the item, the material it is made out of, the [[quality]] of its creation, and any [[decoration]]s on it.

The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the item (e.g. [[block]] ''or'' [[statue]]) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' (e.g. [[granite]] ''or'' [[gold]]), multiplied by the '''quality modifier''' (e.g. fine ''or'' masterful) if any, then summed with the final value of all '''[[decoration]]s'''.

=Base values of items=
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the form of the item, not what it is made out of. For example, a [[wood]] [[block]] uses the '''base value''' for a block; a native gold block uses the ''same'' '''base value''', since it too is in the form of a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then determined by adjusting the base value with the appropriate modifiers.

: ''Notes'':
:* 1) Coins minted at a forge are always of base quality
:* 2) Goods made out of [[cloth]] get the following built in as decorations: the cloth (with quality mod) and the [[thread]] (without quality). [[Dye]]s are added separately (with quality), as a powder, not a decoration.
:* 3) "[[Decoration]]s" include "It is decorated with <material>", "It is encircled with bands of <material>", "It is adorned with hanging rings of <material>", "This object menaces with spikes of <material>", "On this object is an image of <description> in <material>", "It is studded with <metal>". Decorations of [[bolt]]s have a 1/3 base value instead.
:* 4) Prepared meals always have a base value of 10, with a quality modifier. Each ingredient is calculated separately, with its own base value and "minced" quality modifier. The total value of a meal stack is the sum of the above values multiplied by the total quantity, regardless of the proportion of ingredients. A more thorough explanation and example exists at the [[Cook#Prepared_Meal_value|Cook]] page.
:* 5) These items have their value based on their properties - see categories below:

=== Weapons ===
: The base value of a melee weapon is (SIZE / 50) + 1; if the weapon has any EDGE attacks, its value is doubled. Ranged weapons simply have a value of 10.

==Material multipliers==
{{Material properties}}
The material multiplier for an item is found from the [MATERIAL_VALUE:#] tag in the raws for the material it is made out of, and can be further augmented using [MULTIPLY_VALUE:#]. A wood block uses the same material multiplier as a wood [[log]] or a wooden [[Box|chest]] - that is the material value for wood, which is 1.

== How to create a new language page? ==

I've just seen one dwarf requesting a Japanese page.

If possible, I'll gladly translate this wiki into Korean. Korea is relatively a small country so the language is not that widely used, but surely there are some players, I guess.

I don't know where to ask about this :9

== Free SSL Certificate ==

If the operators want to re-enable https, they can get a free (as in beer) certificate from https://letsencrypt.org/ . Instructions are on that site and it's very easy.
:HTTPS is enabled now as of the June 2019 upgrades. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 22:53, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

== Re: Discord ==

I notice there's a Discord on this page. But shouldn't it be the Kitfox Games Discord, since that's the only official Discord for Dwarf Fortress?

[[User:AlastríonaCatskill|AlastríonaCatskill]] ([[User talk:AlastríonaCatskill|talk]]) 13:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
;I wasn't aware of it. If that is the case, then it should probably be added to the page. [[User:OluapPlayer|OluapPlayer]] ([[User talk:OluapPlayer|talk]]) 16:03, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, the only reason there is one at all is because somebody added some random one. I changed it to the only DF discord I knew of at the time. The only way I've now been able to find it is to search for 'Kitfox Games discord'. It's not listed on the bay12 links page, a forum thread, the reddit, or the Steam pages. Anyway, I've DMed Victoria on the KitfoxGames discord to make sure they're OK with adding the invite to this page. [[User:Ziusudra|Ziusudra]] ([[User talk:Ziusudra|talk]]) 20:08, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

...Sorry, is it too late for this? I mean, while we're still discussing this, it looks like [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Talk:Main_Page#B12G_Discord someone else got left behind as well]. Add, or not? [[User:Silverwing235|Silverwing235]] ([[User talk:Silverwing235|talk]]) 22:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you were trying to link to. Do you mean this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163555.0 Note that the thread was locked because of drama. There's a lot of red flags: the drama, despite using the name Bay12Games it never uses the word 'unofficial', the rules channel posts are from a deleted user, the announcements channel hasn't updated in well over a year, many channels haven't been active in months. I'm not so much saying no, but I am asking: should it be linked?

There's also this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=157332.0 But that invite is invalid. [[User:Ziusudra|Ziusudra]] ([[User talk:Ziusudra|talk]]) 02:35, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Ah, it's a ''dead'' discord. I see now. There was just no response to the April '17 topic, I stumbled across it all and got curious. No, I don't think it should be linked. Thanks for the analysis, anyway! [[User:Silverwing235|Silverwing235]] ([[User talk:Silverwing235|talk]]) 11:44, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

== [[Multithreading]] ==

Would it be OK to create [[Multithreading]] page describing why (preferably with citations)
* even perfectly implemented boost would not be significant
* multithreading is not something that can be bolted on complex program
* DF is complicated case where taking advantage of multithreading is not obvious http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=34311.msg7833713#msg7833713
* DF is filled with many gamebreaking bugs unfixed for many years, multithreading bugs are unusually awful to fix
* author of DF has minimal experiences with multithreading
* writing multithreaded code is hard
* writing correct multithreaded code is awfully hard
* fixing bugs in a multithreaded code is nightmare

and multithreading is not going to happen, ever

== Re: Discord II ==

Good morning.

I was confiding with some friends, who had alerted me to the "Unofficial Bay 12 Discord" posted on this Wiki. Simply put, allegations of the use of ableist slurs were thrown, as well as screenshot evidence of using hard racist slurs against people of colour.

I feel that the Unofficial Discord should hereby be removed from the social media part of the website for the following reasons:
* No official connection to Bay 12 or the publishers [and, by extension, every non-Bay12 forum should be removed - especially dead ones]
* This unofficial Discord is actively opposed to the standpoints that Toady One and Threetoe have posted on the bay12games site over the recent days.
* This unofficial Discord uses slurs and other problematic language that actively harms the image of the Dwarf Fortress community
* This unofficial Discord will likely make it so that people steer away from the game.

I do not feel comfortable with the Wiki platforming a known racist Discord server, as that is de facto support of the messages of that server.
[[User:AlastríonaCatskill|AlastríonaCatskill]] ([[User talk:AlastríonaCatskill|talk]]) 12:02, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Update: Apparently, this same Discord has been banned from the r/dwarffortress subreddit for as long as one of the mods can remember, and the link to it was banned on the official Kitfox Discord as well. I can post the screenshots I have of actively problematic behaviour on this Discord but I will not do it unless necessary, as the contents are alarming like that which will not be named.

::The "Unofficial Bay 12 Discord" was already not linked on the main page - the only place it was mentioned is this talk page. Are you talking about that one or the Unofficial Dwarf Fortress Discord that is linked on the main page? The latter does have it's #elfposting channel, but that channel is initially hidden, opt-in only, and clearly labelled as a lawless zone. For an analogy, there are many very awful subreddits, but we still link to reddit - (yeah that's a little different but not much). Otherwise the unofficial DF discord is well modded and such behavior is not allowed in other channels. So, are you certain which discord/channel the screenshots came from?

Since there's some confusion, AlastríonaCatskill, could you confirm and/or provide some evidence that following the link that was on the main page (removed in [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=253449&oldid=251109]) takes you to the discord that you were referring to? The only reference I can find to a discord removed from the /r/dwarffortress sidebar is for a different discord, not the one that was linked on the main page (although it's possible that just the invite link was different). I just want to make sure that we're removing the right one here. If you have anything that you don't want to share publicly, you can PM me on the forums (same username) or [[Special:EmailUser/Lethosor|email me]] through the wiki, which I think is working. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 01:45, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

:@Lethosor, I have emailed you the relevant images via the link you had created. The Discord that was on the main page and removed today is indeed what was being referred to, especially with the confirmation of the #elfposting channel being from said Discord. In my opinion, @Ziusudra, the inclusion of a problematic part of that community, even as opt-in, is unacceptable in my book for a community to be platformed on this Wiki. [[User:AlastríonaCatskill|AlastríonaCatskill]] ([[User talk:AlastríonaCatskill|talk]]) 03:26, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I am the owner of the Unofficial Dwarf Fortress discord. I just want to clear a few things up and open a channel of communication.
Several years ago, the original owner of the discord left, in no small part due to all the sexism and racism and such.
After a few days of an having an interim owner, it was given to another user, who onboarded several users as admins, including me.
The new owner tried a lot to curb terrible stuff on the server, however this often lead to drama.

The r/dwarffortress delisting happened after some of that drama spawned a new discord with a more "free speech" orientation,
things spilling over to the forums and other places. Some time after that, she left the server to me, due to the amount of
stress running that place caused her. When I took over I also tried to make it a better place, but with slower and subtler
methods that wouldn't spark drama. Completely disallowing some behaviour outside of #elfposting was part of that,
and later making that channel hidden by default was another. Now, the discord is much much better to be in
than it ever was before, though it still has major flaws. I don't like #elfposting at all myself, but I don't rule with an iron fist nor
do I know what much I can do without sparking massive drama again. Since April this year I have had some plans to make the discord
quite a bit better, however some of my mods have been against it in part due to feeling it would cause bigger problems
(though, as you probably know, some of them participate in #elfposting).
With recent events, both within and outside the DF community, we have decided to move ahead, every mod on board,
with some plans including phasing out the #elfposting channel in a way which will not create large issues for moderation.
It will be fully gone within one (1) week of now.

Also, I am a tad annoyed that you posted about this here but completely neglected contacting us. In the future, could you
please contact me or one of my mods when you have any concerns about the server? I really do care about these things and we need feedback.
—[[User:Lonjil|Lonjil]] ([[User talk:Lonjil|talk]]) 10:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

: Thank you for replying here Lonjil. Unfortunately, I cannot trust your take on this matter for several reasons.
: # One of the moderators has an anti-semitic stereotype profile picture
: # Even if the only place of no censorship is the elfposting channel, and even if it is opt-in, the complete chaos of racist slurs allowed there is completely unacceptable for minority players and an extremely toxic environment. There have been instances of straight hate speech on the channel / server as well, suggesting to kill people of colour and LGBTQIAA+ people.
: In short, the toxicity of your Discord's community makes it not just uncomfortable, but downright dangerous for minority people playing Dwarf Fortress. As Tarn and Zach have made liberal-to-leftist political views in the past, the chances of minorities to play the game is higher - and I wouldn't want to be a person of colour signing up for a shitposting channel to only be met with over 10,000 instances of the hard-n word being used. The Discord should remain off of the Wiki until things shape up and all instances of hate speech be purged from server history. Personally I would rather all non-official channels of communication be removed from the page, period, but that is a less pressing discussion than active hatred of minorities being platformed on the Wiki via your unofficial Discord.

:: Small edit / follow-up to my previous message. My friend tells me that elfposting is the most commonly used channel, which goes to show the level of hatred allowed into the community.

::: Elfposting is not, by any reasonable measure, the most used channel. It has fewer users than any other channel. It has a fair number of messages, but only because there is no rule against spamming in there. So, nearly all of it is spam, which was the point of the channel to begin with.

::: "It may be best to remove the channel in entirety" this is exactly what is happening, as I already said. We're giving the channel regulars a few days to hear the news, but then the channel will be gone. We already have a more pleasant meme channel from an experiment we did in April, which we are bringing back. —[[User:Lonjil|Lonjil]] ([[User talk:Lonjil|talk]]) 13:57, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi all - thanks for keeping this discussion civil. I've been investigating the policies of other DF communities, and I've come to the conclusion that it would be best for the wiki to only link to the official DF Discord (Kitfox). I'll also make a pass through the other sites linked on the main page. I'm sorry to those of you working hard to maintain Discords and other unofficial communities out there - I know it's difficult, and I don't want to judge your communities without being a part of them. However, there will always be debates like these about whether a community deserves to be linked from a more "official" place, like the wiki, and no matter where we draw the line(s), people will be upset. The policy of only linking to the Kitfox Discord seems to have worked for other communities, which is why I'm applying it here. I would be happy to have a broader discussion at [[DF:Centralized Discussion]] if anyone wants to. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 01:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

<blockquote>

</blockquote>

Alright, I can do that.

The Kitfox Games discord server has a code of law that contains the following immoralities:

:- Is very vague and nebulous, allowing the moderators to exploit the vagueness to be able to do very different things in similar circumstances in alignment with their biases. (Not that they do that, but the fact that it's possible is concerning.) 
:- Contains a "These rules are subject to common sense." clause, essentially meaning that the moderators are able to do whatever they want and hide it behind the barrier of "common sense". This goes completely against the point of the concept of rules in the first place as a promise from those in power in regards to what they will and will not do. 
:- Allows for infinite punishment.

That last one could do with a bit of explaining. Let us begin with the premise that the punishment for a crime should be proportional to the severity of the crime. I think we can all agree on this. Therefore, an infinite punishment should only ever be given for an infinite crime. However, humans are not infallible. People make mistakes. And this means that if a court of law is able to administer an infinite punishment, they run the risk of accidentally giving somebody an infinite punishment that they do not deserve. This, I think we can all agree, is unnacceptable. Therefore, infinite punishment cannot every be administered ethically.

I hope that this explains why I want the link to the Kitfox games discord removed.

:* Their rules are not vague or nebulous, they even give examples of what the rules cover. Of all the discords I am on, their rules are some of the most detailed.
:* The "''depending on the action and our judgement''" is quite similar to the "''depending on how disruptive you were and your prior history''" found in the DF forum rules, and is pretty standard social media boilerplate and is itself common sense.
:* Their rules state "''Breaking these rules will result in a warning or ban''", which is not at all "''infinite punishment''", and is again quite similar to the "''If you violate the guidelines, you will be warned, muted for a period of days, or banned completely''" on the forums. It's not like they can keep anyone from playing the game or interacting with the other communities.
: Your referring to their rules as "code of law" is hyperbolic. Their rules are quite similar to the rules of the forum. So, I disagree and think the link should stay. [[User:Ziusudra|Ziusudra]] ([[User talk:Ziusudra|talk]]) 23:13, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
::* The rules are pretty vague. Examples aren't enough. A strict, clear, unambiguous definition is necessary to prevent abuse.
::* While it is true that their clause is ''normal'', that doesn't mean it's ''right''.
::* The explanation of bans doesn't explain how long the bans will last. Since there's nothing explicitly stating that infinite punishment won't be given, and since "ban" by itself generally refers to a permanent ban, I think that it's allowing infinite punishment.
::* I'm not sure how the term "code of law" is hyperbolic. I use the term synonymously with "set of rules".
::* I can't seem to find a code of law for the forums. However, if what you said is true, then clearly we should also remove the link to the forums.

== Kitfox Discord (again) ==

Hi. I'm again requesting the removal of the link to the Kitfox discord server for only two reasons this time: the code of law gives infinite power to the moderators, and the criminal justice system uses punishment to deal with criminals. These are obviously both immoral, and until the server fixes these issues, the DF wiki ought to remove the link so as not to seem to be promoting them. [[User:BlueManedHawk|BlueManedHawk]] ([[User talk:BlueManedHawk|talk]]) 21:45, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
:And again, I don't support removing the official publisher's discord just because you think that there is some thing wrong with their completely normal and reasonable moderation practices, none of which involves "infinite power", "punishment", "criminals", or other such hyperbole. Banning is not "punishment", it is protection of the community from those that act to harm it, nor is it "infinite power" since all it does is keep those rule breakers off one discord server and nothing else. All of which also happens on both the Bay12 Forums and this very wiki, both of which, by your logic, you should immediately stop using lest you appear to be promoting them. [[User:Ziusudra|Ziusudra]] ([[User talk:Ziusudra|talk]]) 03:45, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
::Normalizing of horribly unethical practices is not okay. I do not think it is hyperbole to use the terms "infinite power, "punishment", and "criminals". The server is a jurisdiction like any other, and it should be held to the same standards of morality as any other—this includes not using punishment as a means to deal with those who break the law. It is completely possible to protect the community without using bans—bans simply get rid of problems instead of fixing them, and are ineffective against the diligent. Infinite power is not an okay thing to give to those who govern a jurisdiction—dictatorial power structures have been shown to fail many times over throughout history.
::
::If we simply must keep any official venues for DF on the main page, regardless of morality (this includes the forums, which i agree should also be removed), then the Wiki ought to put a disclaimer of some sort clarifying that they are being listed not in support of the governance policies of the communities, but simply because they are official.

::See thread at [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki_talk:Versions#v50_organization]]. Emi and I are planning to use a MediaWiki bot for this. My current ETA is 2 days from now. I've asked for help in a few places to write such a bot and have had no responses. My concern with a manual migration (e.g. if we have people copy over just some pages manually) is that it would likely result in a state that is much more complicated to finish. I'm sorry it hasn't gotten done yet. Open to help with automating this. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 04:39, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

::::Thanks for offering. I actually ended up with some time today to work on the migration script. It's almost done, just need to run some final checks before setting it loose. Hopefully tomorrow. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 07:15, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

== wiki tasks ==

Dwarf old head but new account. I'm trying to do a little grunt work for migrating raws and stuff every time I browse the wiki but adding raws is gated behind the adding a page permission. Is there a honey-do list for stuff that needs editing in order to get some contributions under my belt? ☺ --[[User:Hotty gremlin|Hotty gremlin]] ([[User talk:Hotty gremlin|talk]]) 01:47, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

== New main page gallery images ==

Should we start some sort of initiative, maybe over discord as well, for people to provide a few new images from the premium version to use on the main page? --[[User:Vallode|Vallode]] ([[User talk:Vallode|talk]]) 15:47, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

:For what it's worth, I think there has historically been some level of notability in the screenshots provided, and I'd like for that to continue.

== Migration Progress ==

{{User:OddballJoe/Sandbox/MigrationProgress}}
Made a migration progress bar we could use for the main page. I think it might be a bit too depressing, haha. I'd add a separate category for [[Template:migrated section]] to populate it. Might need to double-check [[User:OddballJoe/Sandbox#stats|my math]] before adding it. [[User:OddballJoe|OddballJoe]] ([[User talk:OddballJoe|talk]]) 02:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

:Fixed the math, looks good to me. Will add if nobody objects. [[User:OddballJoe|OddballJoe]] ([[User talk:OddballJoe|talk]]) 19:28, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

== Proposal for holistic crafting/construction format changes across the wiki ==

I propose that any item, workshop, or building that can be constructed or crafted have a unified formatting applied to its entry page pertaining to its constituent components ("Rock boulder x1"), product output ("Rock block x4), and workshop of construction ("Stoneworker's Workshop").

Problem being solved: User visiting pages on the wiki is met with inconsistent or absent information regarding the production and workshop location of many if not most items. When this information does exist, it is typically located inconsistently within the page in-line with narrative text.

"Steel" on the wiki is the best example of this being done but with this proposal I feel that a unified tabled format would help improve readability across the board and build user expectation.

I'm new to wikis but I am starting my workday now and will revisit this topic throughout the day to propose a format to seek feedback and gauge temperature on the subject.

Individual item names within a recipe should be hyperlinked to the wiki entry for that item for good UX, contributing to a user's ability to flow through their problem and quickly find the information they're seeking.

To get the ball rolling, parameters for some examples would be:

"Rock Block"

Recipe

Skill used: Stonecrafter

Workshop: Stoneworker's Shop

Required Components: Economic or Non-economic Stone Boulder x1

Resulting Product: Stone Block x4

"Metworker's Shop"

Recipe

Required Components: Stone Boulders, Blocks, Bars x1

"Bridge"

Recipe

Required Components: Stone Boulders, Blocks, Bars x(Variable)

Note: Please mind the formatting on this proposal, though the idea is sound I've yet to interface with this markup, my field is UI/UX and I will revisit this post once I've brushed up on wiki formatting to make this proposal shine. – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Venality|Venality]]

: I'm in favor of something like this. We already do it for workshops with {{tl|V50_workshop}} and could do something similar for items. Couple of thoughts:
* Some of the recipes (aka reactions) are defined in the raws, not sure what proportion. It might be worth considering automating the inclusion of some of this data from raws, with parser functions or Scribunto or an external script.
* A lot of this data would be helpful to cross-reference. E.g. an item page lists the workshop needed to make it, the workshop page lists the items it can make, and a material page lists the items that can be made from it. This could be set up to stay up-to-date with an extension like [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo Cargo]; I've never used it but it looks reasonably straightforward. That could help organize a lot of other data too, like creatures. [[User:OddballJoe|OddballJoe]] ([[User talk:OddballJoe|talk]]) 19:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

== Bad caching of main page ==

Viewing the main page right now, logged out in an incognito window, displays the latest version as v50.05 and the "up-to-date" article count as 266, instead of v50.07 and 310. The html shows "Cached 20230205190127", so it's a 3-day old cached page. It also says "Cache expiry: 3600", which seems to imply hourly expiry. Maybe adding <nowiki>{{CURRENTHOUR}}</nowiki> to the page will force a cache expiry via the magic word cache logic? In any case, caching needs to be fixed so we're not serving outdated pages. —[[User:OddballJoe|OddballJoe]] ([[User talk:OddballJoe|talk]]) 17:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

== Outdated Knockout Link ==

Please update the link to the Knockout forum thread to [https://knockout.chat/thread/46824 this one], as the current link on the page links to a closed thread. I'd do it myself but the Main Page appears to be locked to admin-only edits now. [[User:OluapPlayer|OluapPlayer]] ([[User talk:OluapPlayer|talk]]) 13:53, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

== Duplicate version links ==

At the top of the page, under the number of articles, are links to the previous versions. At the bottom of the page, more version links are listed after "Archives", which appear to be redundant and can be removed. --[[User:Cali|Cali]] ([[User talk:Cali|talk]]) 01:28, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

== Remove the link to Masterwork ==

Hello. Currently the Other/Mods section has a link to [[Masterwork:Main_Page|the Masterwork namespace]]. I vouch for that link to be removed for three reasons:
#
# It no longer works with the current version of DF, due to the mod changes in v50.01. A mod(pack) which is not playable on the version of the namespace, should not be advertised before all others, if at all. The [[list of mods]] does not include mods which are outdated for the namespace.
# I believe that its popularity has heavily waned, and though it once was a contender for the most popular raw setup (including vanilla!), this is far from the case now. It not being updated for a long time likely contributes. So the break-out popularity of its past which warranted a link does no longer exist.
# The downloads are broken/removed due to the whole Meph debacle. This is an issue with the Masterwork namespace as a whole, which needs separate discussion over there. But essentially it breaks the purpose of the Masterwork namespace, since they document an unavailable mod, and fail in providing (links to) downloads for the mod. The Main Page should not link to pages that serve no purpose.

:That sounds fine to me.

What link should we put in its place? It would be nice to keep an even number of links if we can. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 03:43, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

::Category:Game_development maybe? Fits the category of "other", isn't already on the main page, and is of general interest. [[User:Ziusudra|Ziusudra]] ([[User talk:Ziusudra|talk]]) 22:04, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

:::What about [[DFHack]]? It is an utility like others in the linked [[utilities]] article, but it is greater in scope and likely popularity, to the point of being on Steam separately from ''Dwarf Fortress'' itself. The Other/Mods section seems to be about a combination of ways players can interact with the game and add to it, beyond its usual scope, and technical details. DFHack fits right into this by not only being a player-made utility, but by providing an environment for players to binary hack the game, and of course being highly technical. —[[User:Voliol|Voliol]] ([[User talk:Voliol|talk]]) 09:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

'''Modding''', or creating [[mod]]s, refers to modifying the behavior of the base game (vanilla). ''Dwarf Fortress'' is remarkably moddable.

* Text Editors are used in all areas of modding. Use a good text editor to edit files and search into multiple files (like the free [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++] for example) or more advanced editors capable of highlighting and formatting the displayed text (like [[Utilities#DF_RAW_Language_server|DF RAW Language server]])
* Image Editor will be needed for doing custom graphics. [https://www.getpaint.net/ Paint.NET], Photoshop and GIMP are the most used, but whatever supports the .png format will work.

=== Documentation===
; [[Raw file]]s

These object files, stored in <code>/data/vanilla/*/objects/</code>, define various specifics of game items, materials, and creatures, and can be changed using mods to alter how the game behaves. These are text based and can be edited with any text editor, however, editing the vanilla raw files is now discouraged.

See [[Token|Token reference]] - It's always good to refer to tokens on the wiki. Even experienced modders have to look up tokens! A list of articles about tokens can be found here.

; [[Graphics|Graphics Files]]:

The `/data/art/` subfolder of Dwarf Fortress is used to store user-customizable graphics sets.

; [[Reaction]]s:

; [[Language token|Language]] and [[Speech file]]:

; [[Audio|Sound and Music files]]:

All sound and music files used by ''Dwarf Fortress'' are stored in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg .ogg] format within the <code>/data/sound/</code> subfolders. You can replace the existing ogg files with different ones. That has to be performed manually and isn't actually supported by the game. You can also change some of the definitions of when certain musical cues are played, using available [[music token]]s and [[sound token]]s in the raw files. However, you can't add new music or sounds other than replacing what's already there.

=== Best practice ===
The current best practice is to not modify the original raw files, since most modifications can be made via mods. Mods can add new objects, add tokens to existing objects, and cut objects entirely. You should prefer SELECT over CUT, and prefer CUT over not loading vanilla raws.

== Guide ==
This is intended to be a guide to inform those new to ''Dwarf Fortress'' modding on what elements of the game can be modified, and how. After reading through this guide, a user should be capable of editing creatures, entities, materials ''et al'', and creating their own.

Generally, breaking stuff is fine - nothing that can be changed will affect the DF executable, and new additions can be easily removed.

This guide is based on [[40d:Modding guide|Teldin's guide]], originally created for version 0.27.176.39c. Per wiki tradition, it has been updated through all the major releases since then; hopefully it reflects current knowledge.

=== Token reference ===
It's always good to refer to tokens on the wiki. Even experienced modders have to look up tokens! A list of articles about tokens can be found [[Token|here]].

=== Basics of DF modding ===
To make a mod, one must put a folder into the <code>/mods/</code> folder. The vast majority of modifications to the game can be done via this method. This folder should contain a file named "info.txt" and two subfolders: "graphics" (where you insert [[Graphics set repository|graphics sets]]), and "objects", which contains all the data for, generally, everything in the game that is not hardcoded.

The [[info.txt]] is formatted like so:

{{code|
[ID:my_first_mod]
[NUMERIC_VERSION:1]
[DISPLAYED_VERSION:1.0.0]
[EARLIEST_COMPATIBLE_NUMERIC_VERSION:1]
[EARLIEST_COMPATIBLE_DISPLAYED_VERSION:1.0.0]
[AUTHOR:Your Name Here]
[NAME:My First Mod]
[DESCRIPTION:A cool mod I made!]
}}

A mod should have all of these. There are a [[mod info token|few more tokens]], but the above are the important ones.

Most of the game's vanilla content is in the same format as mods. Many text files can be found in the subfolders of the <code>/data/vanilla</code> folder - these are the [[raw file|raw files]], and using them as a basis for modification is quite easy. For now, we will take a look at one of the existing files. For example, if you open <code>/data/vanilla/vanilla_creatures/creature_standard.txt</code>, it should look something like this:

{{code|
creature_standard

[OBJECT:CREATURE]

[CREATURE:DWARF]
[DESCRIPTION:A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.]
[NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
[CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
[CREATURE_TILE:1][COLOR:3:0:0]
[CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:2]
...
}}

As you can see, each file comprises a header string stating the file name, a second header stating the type of object data it contains, followed by the contents of the file itself. These are all necessary elements of the file, and without them, the file will be ignored by the game.

'''In other words, to be recognized by the game, a raw file must have all of the following:'''

# A filename that refers to the type of objects contained therein. '''Creature files must start with creature_, entity files must start with entity_, and so on.'''
# The filename on the first line of the file.
# [OBJECT:type], where "type" is replaced with the relevant object type.

Below the headers, there begins a list of entries. Each entry is made up of its own header (in this case, "[CREATURE:DWARF]"), again stating the type of object, and then the object's unique identifier - if an identifier isn't unique, the game will mess up and you'll get some serious, and potentially very trippy, errors. ([[Duplicated raws|For example...]]) Below that, we have the body of the entry, which determines the entry's specific properties.

The body of an entry is made up of a series of "tokens", which are essentially flags that can be added or removed to affect the entry's attributes. Most of these effects are hardcoded: for example, it's possible to make a creature only eat meat with the [CARNIVOROUS] token, but it's impossible to create your own token detailing a specific diet for the creature.

Before we continue, a few key things to remember when modding the raw files:

* Try to avoid modifying the existing raw files when possible. You should make a mod instead!
* When adding files, token identifiers are all you need to include to ensure proper references are maintained. The game searches through all loaded raw files by tokens. For example, you can add a new pair of leather boots and not even have to add it to a file named item_shoes.txt, but rather your own file, say item_shoes_new.txt and ensure you have the token listed, ex. [ITEM_SHOES:ITEM_SHOES_BOOTS_NEW].

* When a new world is generated, the mods included are "baked in" and cannot be modified except to be updated--for this, the game checks that the mod used by the save is of a compatible NUMERIC_VERSION.
* There's nothing stopping you from just copying an existing creature/entity/whatever, changing the identifier, and modifying it. This can save you a lot of time, especially when it comes to entities.

=== Modifying the vanilla objects ===

You should not modify the vanilla raws where they originally are if you can help it. Instead, patch them using the patching functions provided with ''Dwarf Fortress'' since v50.01.

There are two patching functions: SELECT and CUT. When SELECT is used, it lets you make changes to an object without needing the entire entry to be present in your mod file. When CUT is used, it forces the game to not use that object, even though it is still found in the vanilla raws (or in any other mods earlier in the load order). Both of these functions take the form of tokens. These functions are not universally applicable to any token found in any entry, just the following list of objects:

CREATURE, ENTITY, INTERACTION, ITEM, WORD, TRANSLATION, SYMBOL, INORGANIC, PLANT, MUSIC, REACTION, SOUND

The syntax required for these functions is: '''['''<function>'''_'''<object>''':'''<specific object being affected>''']'''. For instance, [CUT_PLANT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP] cuts the plump helmet object in the vanilla file plant_standard.txt, so the game will not use that object at all. However, [SELECT_ITEM_HELM:ITEM_HELM_HELM] does not select the helm object from the vanilla file item_helm.txt, even though that's how the object appears in that file, because there is no [SELECT_ITEM_HELM] token. Instead, the helm would be selected with [SELECT_ITEM:ITEM_HELM_HELM].

For example, if you wanted to mod beards onto dwarven women while also removing elephants from the game:

{{code|
creature_mypatch

[OBJECT:CREATURE]

[SELECT_CREATURE:DWARF] starts editing DWARF from the end of the entry
[SELECT_CASTE:FEMALE]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS]

[CUT_CREATURE:ELEPHANT] removes the ELEPHANT creature
}}

Or, say, add your own reaction and building to dwarves:

{{code|
entity_mypatch

[OBJECT:ENTITY]

[SELECT_ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]
[PERMITTED_REACTION:MY_REACTION]
[PERMITTED_BUILDING:MY_BUILDING]
}}

And in any of these, one can add the token [LOG_CURRENT_ENTRY] somewhere under one of the objects of the file, which logs the full contents of the object in question to logs\current_entry.txt. This can be useful to make sure that the patch is doing what you think it is. For instance if [LOG_CURRENT_ENTRY] were added on the next line after [CREATURE:DWARF] in your mod file, then the dwarf object would be the object detailed in the log entry.

...Speaking of, let's move on to modifying and adding entities.

=== Modding civilizations (entities) ===

Entities - the objects that determine how civilizations work - are stored in <code>vanilla_entities/entity_default.txt</code> (though, like all other files, you may add more). They follow the same format as any other raw file:

{{code|
entity_default

[OBJECT:ENTITY]

[ENTITY:ENTITYNAME]
[CREATURE:CREATURETYPE]
[TRANSLATION:LANGUAGETYPE]
[BIOME_SUPPORT:BIOMETOKEN:FREQUENCY]
...[OTHER TAGS]...
}}

Most of the time, it doesn't matter which order these tokens are in or where they're placed so long as they're below the "ENTITY:" identifier, but there are some important exceptions in the case of other files, especially creatures, which can contain a lot of "nested" tokens.

"[CREATURE:]" links the civilization with a specific creature defined in a creature file. This is the creature that'll be making up the entity's population, and, therefore, the creature you'll be playing as in fortress or adventure mode if the entity is a playable one. For example, if you wanted to do something silly, you could switch the "CREATURE:DWARF" entry in entity_default.txt with "CREATURE:ELF" and you would be marching elves around in fortress mode, although they would still use dwarven technology, language and names and so forth. Oh, and before you get any funny ideas - it ''is'' possible to define more than one creature for a civ, but that won't work in quite the way you probably expect; it will pick only one of the defined creatures at random to use for the civ. Later on, in the creature section, you'll learn about castes, which will provide a much more viable alternative, so try to bear with us until then.

"[TRANSLATION:]" defines the language file that the entity will be using, which will determine what their untranslated words are for things. This doesn't determine which words they use for naming things, only the way those words are spelled. The default language files are HUMAN, DWARF, ELF, and GOBLIN.

"[BIOME_SUPPORT:]" defines the biomes that civs will attempt to settle in. The "FREQUENCY" value determines the likelihood of them building there, but also raises an important point: most of the values you'll be setting for things are relative to each other. If one were to type:

{{code|
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:1]
[BIOME_SUPPORT:SAVANNA:2]
}}

This would have very much the same effect as:

{{code|
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:5]
[BIOME_SUPPORT:SAVANNA:10]
}}

This holds true for a lot of values throughout the files, excluding when it simply doesn't make sense, such as in materials.

You can find many details about the rest of the civilization tokens [[entity token|here]].

Besides those mentioned, some fundamental ones are the <code>[SITE_CONTROLLABLE]</code> token, which lets you control the civ in fortress mode, the <code>[OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE]</code> token, which allows you to play in adventure mode as an outsider, and the <code>[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]</code> token, which allows you to play a civ native (non-outsider) in adventure mode. Other tokens that you should pay attention to are START_BIOME and the ones regarding sites, but in general, you can just run through the aforementioned list and add or remove what you want.

If you have more than one civ with the <code>[SITE_CONTROLLABLE]</code> token, all the available civs from those entities will appear in the group selection section on the embark screen. It may not be immediately obvious from which species each civ may be - while this can be determined from legends mode, the topmost species in the "neighbors" display in the embark screen is always the same as the currently selected species; if your group is dwarven, dwarves will be topmost, whilst (say) elves will be topmost if your chosen group is elven. By default, the game seems to choose a civ (and therefore a species if there is more than one) at random.

You can also attempt to discern the civ yourself by the names it uses - this is the realm of "symbols", collections of words centered around a specific concept. The civ will use the words comprising whatever symbols are applicable to it for various things. This association might be a little confusing at first, so, let's refer to the DWARF entity:

{{code|
[SELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:NAME_WAR]
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:VIOLENT]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE:NAME_BATTLE]
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE:VIOLENT]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:SIEGE:NAME_SIEGE]
[SUBSELECT_SYMBOL:SIEGE:VIOLENT]
}}

Here, we can see that dwarves will generally name their wars first after words in the "NAME_WAR" symbol group, and then, after words in the "VIOLENT" symbol group. This might, for example, result in a war being named "The War of Carnage". The symbols used for the other types of conflict are arrayed in a similar fashion. It would be trivial to replace the instances of VIOLENT with, say, PEACE and end up with a battle called "The Clash of Calm" or something.

{{code|
[SELECT_SYMBOL:ROAD:NAME_ROAD]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:TUNNEL:NAME_TUNNEL]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:BRIDGE:NAME_BRIDGE]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:WALL:NAME_WALL]
}}

The above applies here. Dwarves are fond of naming their roads and tunnels after... roads and tunnels.

{{code|
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:ARTIFICE]
[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:EARTH]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:DOMESTIC]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:SUBORDINATE]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:EVIL]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UNTOWARD]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:FLOWERY]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:NEGATIVE]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UGLY]
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:NEGATOR]
}}

This section deals with everything else. The things that haven't already been dealt with (hence the "REMAINING") - such as site names, kingdom names, the names of individuals, and such - will have names from the ARTIFICE and EARTH symbol groups. After that, the dwarf entity is told to cull all inappropriate symbols - this applies to everything (hence the "ALL") so if the game happens to choose a symbol associated with, say, EVIL for one of the battles, it'll scrap that name and try again. This sort of thing adds a lot of flavour to DF's entities and can account for a lot of a civ's perceived personality.

Another basic thing to note: any entity token that's dealing with weapons, armor, clothing, etc., will state the items that the civ can build natively, not necessarily the ones they can wear or use. For example, you could create a species with no clothes specified, but then rob a clothes shop in adventurer mode and wear everything you want, or give them weapons that are too large to wield and they could sell them, but not use them.

An easy method of creating a civilization is just to copy-paste a similar one to the bottom of the entity_default.txt file and edit things to your liking. Remember to always change the civ's "ENTITY:" identifier! This can be anything, so long as it's not already existing.

At the end of some of the default entries you'll find a list of positions, both ones that'll directly affect you in fort mode (such as nobles) and ones that'll primarily affect worldgen and adventure mode. A list of the tokens applicable to positions can be found [[position token|here]]; they don't require a great deal of explanation.

==== Trade ====
The following [[entity token]]s affect the appearance of [[trading]] [[caravan]]s:

* [[Entity token#ACTIVE_SEASON|[ACTIVE_SEASON]]] - Defines the seasons when an entity may visit your fortress.
* [[Entity token#PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION|[PROGRESS_TRIGGER_*]]] - Defines the triggers which control when an entity will become interested in your fortress.
* [[Entity token#COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK|[COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK]]] - Allows the civilization to use domestic pack animals. If an entity lacks pack animals (or ability to pull wagons), it will be unable to send caravans (showing as {{DFtext|No Trade|6:1}} at the [[embark]] screen), unless it has domesticated any suitable animal species or is forced to use a non-suitable creature by the [ANIMAL] definition [ALWAYS_WAGON_PULLER] on creature, caste or class.
* [[Entity token#COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL|[COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL]]] - Allows the civilization to use domestic animals to pull [[wagon]]s, assuming their [[Ethic#KILL_PLANT|KILL_PLANT ethic]] permits them to use wagons in the first place.
* [[Entity token#MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS|[MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS]]] - Caravan will be guarded by [[soldier]]s.

=== Modding creatures ===

Creature modding is great fun – you can change nearly any aspect of a creature, or make your own completely from scratch.

Modding creatures is very similar to modding civs: it's just a matter of editing, adding, or removing tokens, enclosed in square brackets underneath the creature's [CREATURE:] header. The creature entries contain all of the information about each and every non-random creature in the game, from animals to dwarves to goblins to even caravan wagons. A lot of the creature tokens are fairly self-explanatory; you can find a list of such tokens [[creature token|here]]. But before you start creating your own creatures, you'll want to learn how the tissues system works.

==== Creature materials and tissues ====

In the most basic sense, a creature is a series of body parts. These parts are defined in their own file, and we'll talk about them later, as a specific aspect of how creatures work, which throws off a lot of prospective modders, is the relationship between body parts, tissues, and materials. We're going to show you part of the creature entry for a bronze colossus (bear with us):

{{code|
...
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES]
[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]
[TISSUE:BRONZE]
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]
[MUSCULAR]
[FUNCTIONAL]
[STRUCTURAL]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]
...
}}

At the top, we can see the "BODY:" token, followed by a list of body parts. As you've probably guessed, these parts make up the physical form of the colossus. But the colossus has to be made out of something - it has to have tissues, and those tissues also have to be made out of something - in this case, bronze.

Below the BODY token you'll see a TISSUE token, followed by an identifier, much like the others we've seen. The TISSUE block is determining how the tissue works, and which purposes it'll serve. As the colossus is just going to be made out of this one tissue, this tissue needs to act like bone, muscle, and everything else combined, hence the MUSCULAR, FUNCTIONAL and STRUCTURAL tokens. The tissue also references a material - INORGANIC:BRONZE - the properties of which are declared in the inorganic materials file, and the tissue is subsequently made out of this material. With us so far?

Below the tissue definition is the TISSUE_LAYER line. TISSUE_LAYER allows you to control where each tissue is applied. Its first argument defines if it's to search by body part category (BY_CATEGORY), body part type (BY_TYPE), or look for a specific part (BY_TOKEN). That's followed by the parts argument itself, which is in this case ALL (so the game's looking for parts in all categories, which is to say, every body part). This is followed by the tissue to be applied, BRONZE. So the TISSUE_LAYER token is telling the game to select all body parts in every category and make them out of the tissue "BRONZE". The colossus is now made of bronze.

By now you're probably thinking "Wow, if this was for a creature made out of however many tissues, this would be amazingly longwinded" and you're right. Luckily, there are two methods by which we can speed things up a lot.

Firstly, there are material and tissue templates. Let's say you were going to make a lot of creatures out of bronze, and you didn't want to have to copy and paste the bronze tissue all over the place. Instead, you create a tissue template. This goes, as you've probably guessed, in a tissue template file.

{{code|
[TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRONZE_TEMPLATE]
[TISSUE_NAME:bronze:bronze]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]
[MUSCULAR]
[FUNCTIONAL]
[STRUCTURAL]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
}}

Now, instead of applying the tissue to each and every bronze creature you're making, you can just refer to the template:

{{code|
...
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:HUMANOID_JOINTS:5FINGERS:5TOES]
[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRONZE:BRONZE_TEMPLATE]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BRONZE]
...
}}

Material templates work in the same way, but refer to materials instead of tissues.

However, if we're looking at something like a dwarf, even with the templates, editing can get very slow indeed:

{{code|
...
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SKIN_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:FAT:FAT_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:MUSCLE:MUSCLE_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BONE:BONE_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CARTILAGE:CARTILAGE_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HAIR:HAIR_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:TOOTH:TOOTH_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:EYE:EYE_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:NERVE:NERVE_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BRAIN:BRAIN_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LUNG:LUNG_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HEART:HEART_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LIVER:LIVER_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:GUT:GUT_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STOMACH:STOMACH_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:PANCREAS:PANCREAS_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SPLEEN:SPLEEN_TEMPLATE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:KIDNEY:KIDNEY_TEMPLATE]
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SKIN_TEMPLATE]
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:FAT:FAT_TEMPLATE]
[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:MUSCLE:MUSCLE_TEMPLATE]
...
}}

This is where body detail plans, which have their own file, and are designed to help automate some of the more common processes in creature creation, come in. The first entry in b_detail_plan_default.txt does exactly what we've been trying to do above: it takes all the common materials and shoves them into one plan, which can be referenced with a single token.

{{code|
...
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
...
}}

Much easier. But what about the TISSUE_LAYER tokens? Will we have to type out all of those manually?

Nope, detail plans have that covered as well. It's possible to place variable arguments into a detail plan. For example:

{{code|
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS]
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER:ARG3:50:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:ARM:ARG4:25:ARG3:25:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER:ARG4:25:ARG3:25:ARG2:5:ARG1:1]
...
[BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:NOSE:ARG5:4:ARG1:1]
...
}}

First an argument is placed in the plan (ARG1, ARG2 etc.), followed by the thickness of the tissue that will be inserted in place of the argument. So when we reference the VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS plan, we'll be able to do something like this:

{{code|
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
}}

ARG1 in the detail plan is replaced by SKIN, the first tissue we entered. ARG2 is replaced by FAT, ARG3 by MUSCLE, ARG4 by BONE, and ARG5 by CARTILAGE. Hence, our creature's body part designated as BODY is made up of SKIN with thickness 1, FAT with thickness 5, and MUSCLE with thickness 50. Its nose is made up of SKIN (thickness 1) and CARTILAGE (thickness 4).

Things left out of the body plans aside, our dwarf's entire body, material, tissue and tissue layer tokens have been boiled down to this:

{{code|
...
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
...
}}

This can save you a lot of time and space if you're making lots of changes common to many creatures. In general, if you're making a creature that's fleshy or chitinous, there are detail plans already included in the game to help you out. You should only have to resort to declaring tissues individually (like our bronze colossus) if you're doing something really out-of-the-ordinary.

Another great thing about templates (and so, detail plans) is that they can be modified after being declared. Let's say we wanted our dwarves to be perpetually on fire (don't ask). We leave the body stuff declared normally:

{{code|
...
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:
THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
...
}}

We then, in our own mod, select the appropriate material:

{{code|
[SELECT_CREATURE:DWARF]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10600]
...
}}

We don't want them burning to death, so we'll need to stop that from happening:

{{code|
[SELECT_CREATURE:DWARF]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10600]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
[HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]
...
}}

Note that this makes use of DF's built-in temperature scale. You can read more about that [[Temperature|on this page]]. We're also referencing material tokens, which we haven't gone over yet - we'll talk about making your own materials later.

==== Creature castes ====

Another potentially extremely powerful part of the creature raws is the caste system. The caste system handles both true biological castes and lesser variations, such as sexes.

To understand the true potential of the caste system, we only need to take a look at the raws for antmen, found in creature_subterrenean.txt:

{{code|
...
[CASTE:WORKER]
[CASTE_NAME:worker ant woman:worker ant women:worker ant woman]
Female, but non-breeding.
[POP_RATIO:10000]
[CASTE:SOLDIER]
[CASTE_NAME:soldier ant woman:soldier ant women:soldier ant woman]
Female, but non-breeding.
[POP_RATIO:1000]
[CASTE:DRONE]
[MALE]
[CASTE_NAME:drone ant man:drone ant men:drone ant man]
[POP_RATIO:5]
[CASTE:QUEEN]
[FEMALE]
[CASTE_NAME:queen ant woman:queen ant women:queen ant woman]
[POP_RATIO:1]
[SELECT_CASTE:WORKER]
[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:SOLDIER]
[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:QUEEN]
[BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH]
[BODYGLOSS:INSECT_UPPERBODY:INSECT_LOWERBODY]
[SELECT_CASTE:DRONE]
[BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH:2WINGS]
[BODYGLOSS:INSECT_UPPERBODY:INSECT_LOWERBODY]
[FLIER]
[SELECT_CASTE:ALL]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_MATERIALS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_TISSUES]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:CHITIN:FAT:MUSCLE]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_HEAD_POSITIONS]
[ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]
...
}}

It's evident that the process of creating and editing castes is comparable to the modifications we were making to tissues and materials earlier: A caste is declared, and modifications to the base creature are made. Declared castes can be selected and subsequently modified, again, just like tissues and materials.

In this case, each caste is declared, given its own name, and a POP_RATIO, which determines how commonly a birth results in that caste - for every 10000 workers born, there'll be an average of 1000 soldiers, 5 drones and one queen. You've probably also noticed that the DRONE and QUEEN castes have the MALE and FEMALE tokens respectively - these tokens determine how breeding works. A creature without both a MALE caste and a FEMALE caste will be unable to breed (no asexually reproducing creatures yet, unfortunately). As they lack FEMALE, the workers and soldiers are unable to breed with the male drones.

After this, there are some modifications to bodyparts. In this case, the drones have wings and the FLIER token, which the other castes lack. It's entirely possible for creatures of different castes to have completely different body structures, even to the extent that they don't resemble each other at all. If you read the section of this guide that dealt with entities, you may remember a passing mention of multi-creature civilisations and how they don't quite work as you may think they would. The castes system is your workaround. You could create a caste that is, for all intents and purposes, a human, and another caste of the same creature that acts exactly like a giant cave spider, put the creature in a civ, and get a human-spider civ. The only flaw in this approach is that the castes will interbreed.

That's the most complex components of creature creation out of the way. You should find the rest trivial by comparison.

=== Modding items ===

Items are fairly simple to deal with. By default, each item type is contained in its own file; this may help make browsing for a specific item easier, but from a purely technical point of view, it's possible to throw all items into one file. Unfortunately, [[Item definition token|item definition tokens]] don't seem to be especially well-documented (at least not as well as the other object types), but you should be able to figure out most things by way of our explanations and your assumptions.

Let's look at the entry for, of course, the thong:

{{code|
[ITEM_PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_THONG]
[NAME:thong:thongs]
[LAYER:UNDER]
[COVERAGE:25]
[LAYER_SIZE:10]
[LAYER_PERMIT:30]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]
[SOFT]
[LEATHER]
[STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_WOVEN_THREAD]
}}

Most of these are pretty obvious if one compares them to the other entries in the file. There's a layer for the item, determining where it's worn; a coverage value to determine how well it protects you from cold and other things; a size token to determine how much it counts for when it's under something else; a layer permit token to determine how much can be worn under it; and a material size token to determine how much raw material it takes to make it.

Now, if you wanted to mod these to turn them into metal thongs (ouch!), you would simply have to add [METAL] to it somewhere. Simple! These tokens work by tying into material properties - some materials are designated as suitable for making hard items, some for soft, etc..

Weapons involve a little more detail:

{{code|
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H]
[NAME:two-handed sword:two-handed swords]
[SIZE:900]
[SKILL:SWORD]
[TWO_HANDED:67500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:62500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:5]
[ATTACK:EDGE:100000:8000:slash:slashes:NO_SUB:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:EDGE:50:4000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100000:8000:slap:slaps:flat:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100:1000:strike:strikes:pommel:1000]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
}}

SIZE determines how heavy the weapon is. This has a substantial effect on weapon effectiveness. SKILL determines which skill is used in using the weapon; a list of skills can be found [[skill token|on this page]]. MINIMUM_SIZE determines the minimum size a creature must be before the weapon can be wielded, while TWO_HANDED determines how large a creature must be in order to wield the weapon with one hand.

Attacks take a little more explanation. The first value determines the contact area of the weapon's attack; this should be high for slashing weapons and low for bludgeoning, piercing and poking ones. The second value determines how deep the weapon penetrates - for BLUNT attacks this value is ignored as they're not supposed to penetrate anyway, but in the case of EDGE attacks it should generally be lower for slashing attacks and higher for stabbing attacks.

Following these are the nouns and verb used; they should be self-explanatory. Finally, we have the velocity modifier, which has a multiplying effect on the weapon's size for the purposes of determining how powerful it is in combat. But more accurate it describe distribution of momentum across length of weapon. So STAB perfomed with only muscular power and modifier is x1 (1000). SLASH performed with some rotating momentum of cutting edge, but sword is pretty balanced thru it's length and modifier is just x1.25 (1250). Axes, hammers and maces have more unbalanced mass distribution and weapon mass concentrated far from grasp, so higher modifiers.

ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER determine number of game frames to perform these actions. In vanilla almost not varies for different weapons.

Other, more miscellaneous items are generally simple and shouldn't require any further explanation.

Once you've made an item, you just add it to the civ entry so a civilization can actually craft it, and it's done.

=== Modding language files ===
{{main|Language token}}

Let's say you added a whole new species. Sure, you could just swipe one of the existing translation files and steal their language for your species, but that's the lazy way! If you want to create a whole new language, it is very simple.

First, you'd need a whole new language_RACE file, such as language_LIZARDMAN.txt, along with "language_LIZARDMAN" at the top of the file proceeded by [OBJECT:LANGUAGE] and [TRANSLATION:LIZARDMAN]. After that, it's just a matter of copy-pasting one of the existing language lists and editing the finished 'translated' word. That's it! Then just add the translation link to your civ in entity_default.txt and it'll be added to the game on worldgen.

All raw files use Code Page 437 encoding, and you should make sure you are editing these files in that format. As many text editors default to UTF-8, some characters with diacritical marks may fail to show properly. Saving one of the default language raw files in this state will overwrite these characters with the unicode question mark, which will corrupt the file. To fix this replace the file with a clean one downloaded from the distributed version of DF.

(Note that the name of the file doesn't actually matter; however, it's good form to name the file after a creature if only that creature speaks the language.)

=== Modding body parts ===

Imagine you have this fantastic idea for a multi-tentacled winged spider-monster. Sounds great! But in order to make this a reality you may need to create a new set of body parts for it. That's no problem! Making body parts is easy, though it may look complicated at first.

All of the default body definitions are located in body_default.txt and then linked to a creature in the creature's entry. We've talked about how bodyparts make up creatures earlier, in the creature section. You can mix and match them in the creature entry and it makes no difference, as long as they're there: each body part will link itself to the appropriate connection automatically when the creature is first created.

Body parts work by sections: you can add as many sections as you want to a body part definition, but generally you should keep it fairly low for ease of use. Each body section entry is in the, very simple, format:

{{code|
[BODY:BODYNAME]
[BP:TOKENID:name][TOKENSGOHERE][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:][CATEGORY:WHATEVER]
}}

The most important tokens are "CONTYPE" and "CON": CONTYPE means the body part in question is connected to a certain ''type'' of body part, while CON means it's connected to a ''specific'' one. TOKENID is yet another identifier, which should be unique, as it's referenced every time something uses CON or BY_TOKEN. DEFAULT_RELSIZE defines, of course, what the body part's size is in relation to the other parts. CATEGORY defines a category for the part, which can be unique or shared with other parts. This is referenced whenever BY_CATEGORY is used.

A list of body part tokens can be found [[body token|here]].

Let's take a simple example, a head:

{{code|
[BODY:BASIC_HEAD]
[BP:HD:head:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]
}}

It connects directly to an upper body.

{{code|
[BODY:2EYES]
[BP:REYE:right eye:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][SIGHT][EMBEDDED][SMALL][RIGHT][CATEGORY:EYE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:5]
[BP:LEYE:left eye:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][SIGHT][EMBEDDED][SMALL][LEFT][CATEGORY:EYE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:5]
}}

These are a pair of eyes, connecting to the head.

{{code|
[BODY:HUMANOID]
[BP:UB:upper body:upper bodies][UPPERBODY][CATEGORY:BODY_UPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1000]
[BP:LB:lower body:lower bodies][CON:UB][LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:1000]
[BP:HD:head:STP][CON:UB][HEAD][CATEGORY:HEAD]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]
[BP:RUA:right upper arm:STP][CON:UB][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:LUA:left upper arm:STP][CON:UB][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:RLA:right lower arm:STP][CON:RUA][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:LLA:left lower arm:STP][CON:LUA][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:RH:right hand:STP][CON:RLA][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:HAND]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]
[BP:LH:left hand:STP][CON:LLA][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:HAND]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]
[BP:RUL:right upper leg:STP][CON:LB][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]
[BP:LUL:left upper leg:STP][CON:LB][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]
[BP:RLL:right lower leg:STP][CON:RUL][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:LEG_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:LLL:left lower leg:STP][CON:LUL][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:LEG_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:RF:right foot:right feet][CON:RLL][STANCE][RIGHT][CATEGORY:FOOT]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:120]
[BP:LF:left foot:left feet][CON:LLL][STANCE][LEFT][CATEGORY:FOOT]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:120]
}}

An entire humanoid body. The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone...

"BODYGLOSS" entries, which you can sometimes find applied to creature entries, are simply replacement words for specific part name strings in a creature. For example, you'll find the bodygloss [BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND:hand:claw] in body_default.txt; you can then use this in a creature via "[BODYGLOSS:CLAW_HAND]" and it'll replace all instances of "hand" with "claw" in that creature. Be warned, however—if you were to, say make a bodygloss [BODYGLOSS:EARSTALK:ear:stalk:ears:stalk], it would not only change "ear" and "ears" to "stalk" and "stalks", it would also change "h'''ear'''t" to "h'''stalk'''t"! For all intents and purposes the body part will still function as the proper part, though.

=== Modding plants ===

Plants are, again, not unlike creatures. With what you've learned so far in regard to tokens and the materials system, running through the notes included in plant_standard.txt should explain most things. [[Plant token|Here's the list of plant-specific tokens]].

Below is the [[plump helmet]] raw description:

{{code|
[PLANT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP]
[NAME:plump helmet][NAME_PLURAL:plump helmets][ADJ:plump helmet]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURAL:STRUCTURAL_PLANT_TEMPLATE]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:2]
[BASIC_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:STRUCTURAL]
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]
[EDIBLE_RAW]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
[PICKED_TILE:161][PICKED_COLOR:6:13:0]
[GROWDUR:300][VALUE:2]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:DRINK:PLANT_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen dwarven wine]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:dwarven wine]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling dwarven wine]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:2]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:5:0:0]
[EDIBLE_RAW]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[DRINK:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:DRINK]

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SEED:SEED_TEMPLATE]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
[SEED:plump helmet spawn:plump helmet spawn:4:0:1:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:SEED]
[SPRING][SUMMER][AUTUMN][WINTER]
[FREQUENCY:100]
[CLUSTERSIZE:5]
[PREFSTRING:rounded tops]
[WET][DRY]
[BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_WATER]
[UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1:3]
[SHRUB_TILE:142]
[DEAD_SHRUB_TILE:28]
[SHRUB_COLOR:5:13:0]
[DEAD_SHRUB_COLOR:5:6:0]
}}

Let's look at this line by line: 
First, we define its file name. In this case it's MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP. Next we define its in-game name (plump helmet) and its adjective for if you were to craft with it (e.g. plump helmet earrings).

{{code|
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURAL:STRUCTURAL_PLANT_TEMPLATE]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:2]
[BASIC_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:STRUCTURAL]
}}

This defines the structure and material of the plant. It references STRUCTURAL_PLANT_TEMPLATE in the first line, so if you were to say, add wings to the template, the plump helmet plant would be winged. This is for the plant itself, not the end plump helmets.

After that we get our edible tokens. These say that vermin can eat the plant, and it can be eaten raw or cooked by your dwarves. So if you wanted a plant vermin would leave alone, you'd remove the [EDIBLE_VERMIN] token.

{{code|
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]
[EDIBLE_RAW]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
}}

Next, [PICKED_TILE:161] is the character (161 in this case) shown when the crop is harvested. See [[Main:Character table|character table]] for a table of usable tiles. [PICKED_COLOR:6:13:0] is the color used for the crop's tile when harvested. It's in a foreground:background:brightness format. See [[color]] for the colors usable.

{{code|
[PICKED_TILE:161][PICKED_COLOR:6:13:0]
}}

[GROWDUR:300] is how long it takes for your crop to grow. There are 1008 growdur units in a season. 
[VALUE:2] Is the value of the harvested plant (default 1).

{{code|
[GROWDUR:300][VALUE:2]
}}

This defines the plant's alcohol states. [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:] is the frozen name, followed is the actual drink name, and then its boiling name. These are achieved by either Scorching or Freezing climates. [DISPLAY_COLOR] is, of course, color, and [EDIBLE_RAW] and [EDIBLE_COOKED] are saying you can drink the alcohol raw or cooked.

{{code|
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:DRINK:PLANT_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen dwarven wine]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:dwarven wine]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling dwarven wine]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:2]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:5:0:0]
[EDIBLE_RAW]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[DRINK:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:DRINK]
}}

After that we get our seed template:

{{code|
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SEED:SEED_TEMPLATE]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:1]
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
[SEED:plump helmet spawn:plump helmet spawn:4:0:1:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:SEED]
}}

And all this says is that the seeds may be eaten by vermin or cooked. Then it gives the name of our plant's seed, its plural name, its foreground, background, and brightness colors, followed by its seed material; said material should have [SEED_MAT] to permit proper stockpiling.

And finally for the last chunk we have this:

{{code|
[SPRING][SUMMER][AUTUMN][WINTER]
[FREQUENCY:100]
[CLUSTERSIZE:5]
[PREFSTRING:rounded tops]
[WET][DRY]
[BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_WATER]
[UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1:3]
[SHRUB_TILE:142]
[DEAD_SHRUB_TILE:28]
[SHRUB_COLOR:5:13:0]
[DEAD_SHRUB_COLOR:5:6:0]
}}

First we define what season(s) the plant may grow in, then we define how frequently this plant is generated in a particular area, followed by how many harvested crop items may come from 1 plant. [PREFSTRING:] is what your dwarves like about the plant, which in this case is the rounded tops. [WET][DRY] are the conditions under which the plant can grow. Wet means it can grow close to water, dry means it can grow away from water. This does not mean you can grow the plant on dry stone however. It is just for natural spawning of the plant. 
[BIOME] Is what biome the plant grows in. [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:Minimum:Maximum] Is the highest and lowest cavern levels that the plant can appear in if its biome is subterranean. Dwarven civilizations will only export (via the embark screen or caravans) things that are available at depth 1. Defaults to 0:0 (surface only). 
Lastly, [SHRUB_TILE] is the character used for the naturally spawning shrub of this plant, [DEAD_SHRUB] is the dead shrub character. [SHRUB_COLOR] Is the shrub's color, and [DEAD_SHRUB_COLOR] is, of course, the dead shrub's color.

While this may or may not look like a lot of tokens, it's very easy. Just copy an existing plant and edit it to your new plant. 
For the rest of the tokens, see [[plant token]].

==== Trees ====

Trees are another kind of plant that can be modded. Being plants, they use many of the same tokens as edible crops, but differ in having a few tree-specific tokens.

The first lines are the same as the ones we saw being used in the plump helmets, defining the plant object, giving it a name, and deciding that it should use the standard STRUCTURAL_PLANT material for its structure.

{{code|
[PLANT:APPLE] malus sieversii
[NAME:apple tree][NAME_PLURAL:apple trees][ADJ:apple tree]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURAL:STRUCTURAL_PLANT_TEMPLATE]
[BASIC_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:STRUCTURAL]
}}

Adding the token [[DF2014:Material_definition_token#DISPLAY_COLOR|DISPLAY_COLOR]] directly after [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE] would allow us to change the color of the tree.

{{code|
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURAL:STRUCTURAL_PLANT_TEMPLATE]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:1:0:0]
[BASIC_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:STRUCTURAL]
}}

would give us a dark blue apple tree. This method is used by the game in [[birch|birches]] and [[spore tree|various]] [[nether-cap|underground]] [[blood thorn|trees]].

Next come the definitions of various other materials used by the tree:

{{code|

}}

From them, we get to know what the parts of the tree can be used for, as well as how they will appear when separated from the tree. Any alterations that can be done to materials normally can be done here, such as changing the value or adding a [[syndrome]].

[TREE:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:WOOD][TREE_TILE:5]

[TREE] is what turns your plant object into an actual tree. The following argument describes what material the harvested logs should be made of. If NONE, the felled tree will give no logs. [TREE_TILE] is the tile the tree shows up as on the world map.

Note that all vanilla trees (that give logs) use the WOOD material defined above as the argument for [TREE], as opposed to the STRUCTURAL material. Thus, any changes to the properties of the wood harvested should be done to the WOOD material.

The following tokens decide the dimensions of the tree, and how it grows.

{{code|
[TRUNK_PERIOD:10]
[HEAVY_BRANCH_DENSITY:25]
[BRANCH_DENSITY:50]
[MAX_TRUNK_HEIGHT:3]
[HEAVY_BRANCH_RADIUS:1]
[BRANCH_RADIUS:2]
[TRUNK_BRANCHING:2]
[MAX_TRUNK_DIAMETER:1]
[TRUNK_WIDTH_PERIOD:200]
[ROOT_DENSITY:5]
[ROOT_RADIUS:3]
}}

[TRUNK_PERIOD] and [TRUNK_WIDTH_PERIOD] determine how long it takes for the trunk to grow one tile taller respectively wider, in years. [MAX_TRUNK_HEIGHT:3] and [MAX_TRUNK_DIAMETER:1] determine the maximum value the above can reach. [TRUNK_BRANCHING] decides how "curvy" the tree is, with [TRUNK_BRANCHING:0] meaning the tree is entirely straight.

[HEAVY_BRANCH_DENSITY:25], [HEAVY_BRANCH_RADIUS:1], [BRANCH_DENSITY:50], [BRANCH_RADIUS:2], [ROOT_DENSITY:5], and [ROOT_RADIUS:3] determine the density (how many are there, integer ranging 0-100) and radius (in tiles) away from the trunk, of heavy branches, normal branches and roots respectively.

[STANDARD_TILE_NAMES] makes the tree use standard names for the trunk, branches etc. Otherwise custom ones can be used. (see [[Plant_token|full plant token list]])

[SAPLING] ensures saplings of this tree are called "[tree name] sapling", instead of the standard "young [tree name]".

Lastly, we are introduced to the [GROWTH] token. [GROWTH] defines growths growing on a plant, in this case our apple tree. Apple trees have three growths: leaves, flowers and fruits.

{{code|
[GROWTH:FRUIT]
[GROWTH_NAME:apple:STP]
[GROWTH_ITEM:PLANT_GROWTH:NONE:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:FRUIT]
[GROWTH_DENSITY:1000]
[GROWTH_HOST_TILE:BRANCHES_AND_TWIGS]
[GROWTH_TIMING:120000:200000]
[GROWTH_DROPS_OFF_NO_CLOUD]
[GROWTH_PRINT:'%':'%':4:0:0:120000:200000:3]
[GROWTH_HAS_SEED]
}}

First comes the name of the growth. Then, with [GROWTH_ITEM], what kind of growth it is, in this case a PLANT_GROWTH made out of the local FRUIT material. [GROWTH_DENSITY] says how densely the growth grows, and [GROWTH_HOST_TILE] where on the tree it grows. [GROWTH_TIMING] decides when the growth appears, in annual ticks. The growth then drops off, leaving no clouds (items to be picked up by your dwarves). [GROWTH_PRINT] sets it to look like a red '%', and [GROWTH_HAS_SEED] implies that eating this growth will leave you with a seed.

=== Workshops ===

Workshops are raw-designed pretty differently from everything else in the game, being buildable structures rather than items or methods to gain items. However, they are fairly simple. For example, here's the raw for the [[soap maker's workshop]]:

{{code|code=
[BUILDING_WORKSHOP:SOAP_MAKER]

[TOOLTIP:Use tallow (rendered fat) or oil here with lye to make soap.]
}}

A line-by-line breakdown:

{{code|
[NAME:Soap Maker's Workshop]
[NAME_COLOR:7:0:1]
}}

These are the name of the workshop ("Soap Maker's Workshop") and [[color]] of the workshop's name when examined with 'q' (White with a black background).

{{code|
[DIM:3:3]
[WORK_LOCATION:2:2]
}}

DIM refers to how large the workshop will be, in this case 3 wide, 3 tall. WORK_LOCATION tells where the creature using it (usually a dwarf) will work, numbered from the top right--in this case, 2:2, or the middle. Multiple work locations can be defined, even outside the dim.

{{code|
[BUILD_LABOR:SOAP_MAKER]
[BUILD_KEY:CUSTOM_SHIFT_S]
}}

These refer to the worker required to build it (soap maker) and the key used to build it in the workshop menu (capital S).

{{code|
[BLOCK:1:0:0:0]
...
}}
This is a bit more complex, and is where we get to the meaty part of workshop making--the tiles' properties. BLOCK refers to which tiles will be untraversable--1 means blocked, 0 means unblocked. The first number refers to row, and the next 3 refer to column, so 1:0:0:0 means that, on the first row, all tiles will be unblocked. This is the case for all vanilla workshops, as of now.

{{code|
[TILE:0:1:' ':' ':150]
...
}}
The TILE token tells which tile will go where. note, however, that there are 5 entries here instead of 4. The first number, in this case, refers to build stage, numbered from 0 to 3; 3 or 1 is fully built (depending on whether there are stages), 0 is just placed, and 2 is always an intermediate stage, while 1 is usually an intermediate stage. Whether 1 is an intermediate stage or not depends on if there are a 2 and 3 stage; if 2 and 3 exist, 1 will be intermediate. The second number and beyond are similar to BLOCK; however, instead of 1s and 0s, you must input tiles. The tiles themselves can be given in quotes (as in ' ') or given as a number, which can be looked up [[Tilesets|here]]. Here, we have 150, which is û.

{{code|
[COLOR:1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:6:0:0]
...
}}
Color is as TILE, but with colors instead of tiles; however, colors are made up of 3 numbers each or MAT. MAT refers to the color of the material used to make it; the 3 numbers refer to foreground:background:foreground brightness, and can be looked up [[Color|here]]. For example, 4:2:1 will give you bright red with a dark green background.

{{code|
[BUILD_ITEM:1:BUCKET:NONE:NONE:NONE][EMPTY][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]
[BUILD_ITEM:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][BUILDMAT][WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]
}}
These refer to items required to build the building. These are in the same format as [[Reaction|reaction reagents and products]]--quantity:[[Item token|item]]:[[Material token|material]]. You'll learn more about those on the article about [[Reaction|reactions]], though. The second BUILD_ITEM is special-- it uses modifiers exclusively to determine its requirements. BUILDMAT refers to wood logs, wood blocks, stone boulders, and stone blocks; WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY means it can't use economic stone; CAN_USE_ARTIFACT means that it... can use artifacts. EMPTY, in the bucket's case, means that the bucket must be empty.

{{code|
[TOOLTIP:Use tallow (rendered fat) or oil here with lye to make soap.]
}}

This is the text in the tooltip shown when the building is highlighted by the mouse in the workshops list.

More can be seen at the [[Building token|building tokens]] article.

=== Reactions ===

Reactions are the crafting recipes used in [[workshop]]s, and by the [[adventurer mode|adventurer]]. By adding new reactions you can make new items available, or enable you to get items or materials in new ways. The reactions can also be given to entities, in which case they will make use of them during both world gen and play; making a reaction that creates [[steel]] directly from [[plant fiber]]s, would allow the elves to craft steel and arrive clad in it in a [[siege]].

Not all crafting reactions are defined in the raws, but some are, such as those for [[ceramic industry|pottery]] and [[Metal#Alloys_2|alloy]] making.

An in-depth guide for reactions is available [[Reactions|here]].

=== Materials ===

As we've seen when talking about creatures, materials are vital. Materials show up in two forms: material templates, which generally show up in creatures, and specific materials (designated as "inorganic"), which are (by default, at least) consigned purely to metal and stone types.

Let's take a look at METAL_TEMPLATE in material_template_default.txt. It's evident that most of the basic properties of metals are already defined in the template - it goes red and melts at a high enough temperature, it's heavy, and (as noted by the very bottom token) is a metal. We already know just how useful templates can be to creatures, and the same applies to other materials.

Now let's take a look at inorganic_metal.txt. You can see that the metals here refer to the templates, and, just like we did with creatures, then modify the properties of that template and expand upon it.

Finally, let's look at inorganic_stone_mineral.txt. Here we can see that in addition to the changes made to the template, there are also ENVIRONMENT tokens - these tell the game where to place these minerals during worldgen.

[[material definition token|Here's a list of material tokens]]. It should also help you out with any modifications you want to make regarding those creature modifications we were making a while back. See, it all ties together in the end. The beauty of the current materials system is that there's actually very little difference between, say, leather and iron - they're fundamentally the same thing, just with different properties, which is how things really should be.

== Selecting and Cutting ==

[[Modding#Modifying_the_vanilla_objects|As explained above]], existing raws can be altered with the use of SELECT, and can also be culled with CUT for more granular control, compared to simply unloading vanilla content in the mod loader. Token behavior when multiple tokens are added is dependent on the individual token. Removing tags from an object without cutting and recreating the object in question is typically impossible, except for creature object tags removed and/or replaced with the use of [[Creature_variation_token|creature variation tokens]].

The syntax for selecting and cutting objects is as follows:

{{code|code=
Substitute X for the desired object.

[SELECT_CREATURE:X]
[CUT_CREATURE:X]

[SELECT_ENTITY:X]
[CUT_ENTITY:X]

[SELECT_INTERACTION:X]
[CUT_INTERACTION:X]

[SELECT_ITEM:X]
[CUT_ITEM:X]

[SELECT_WORD:X]
[CUT_WORD:X]

[SELECT_TRANSLATION:X]
[CUT_TRANSLATION:X]

[SELECT_SYMBOL:X]
[CUT_SYMBOL:X]

[SELECT_INORGANIC:X]
[CUT_INORGANIC:X]

[SELECT_PLANT:X]
[CUT_PLANT:X]

[SELECT_MUSIC:X]
[CUT_MUSIC:X]

[SELECT_REACTION:X]
[CUT_REACTION:X]

[SELECT_SOUND:X]
[CUT_SOUND:X]

}}

== Examples ==

{{av}}{{Category|Creatures}}
[[File:animals_preview.png|370px|right|Many, many animals.]]
[[File:many_creatures_v50_preview.png|thumb|172px|right|Many creatures packed into one area.]]
In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it. The creatures in the game range from being entirely realistic to completely mythical. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways.

Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are (e.g. [[monkey]]s having legendary climbing skill). Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to [[adventure mode]] or [[fortress mode]]. Some creatures are randomly and procedurally generated, meaning they could have many different sprites in-game. Creatures of that type may have just one to a few sprites showcased out of many in the list below. A question mark placeholder may also be shown instead.

Also note that creatures with the {{token|ARENA_RESTRICTED}} or {{token|DOES_NOT_EXIST}} tokens cannot be spawned in the [[object testing arena]], similarly to [[vermin]] (e.g. [[fly|flies]], [[worm]]s).

Many standard-sized creatures in the game take the space of a single tile, while many giant versions of creatures, including many types of beasts, may take up the space of more than one tile. There are roughly 680 creatures in the game.

==Spawning==
[[File:creatures_many.png|thumb|right|124px|Same concept, but in ASCII mode.]]The creatures that will spawn on any given fortress map depend on the biome(s) that the fortress is in. Additionally, there are several [[creature token|creature token]]s in the [[raws]] that deal with creature spawning:
*<tt>[FREQUENCY:X]</tt>: This tag dictates ''how often'' a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0-100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
*<tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines ''how many'' creatures will appear at one time on a map.
*<tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines the ''total number'' of this type of creature that can ever visit your fortress. The exact number varies, depending on the map.

For example, [[deer]] have a <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30]</tt>, meaning that if you kill between 15-30 deer, no more deer will ever visit your fortress.

==Reading the Table==
{{v50_creaturecurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:
* '''Graphic:''' The sprite assigned to the creature. Seen only in the [[Premium version|Steam version]].
* '''Tile:''' The tile assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.
* '''Name:''' The name of the creature as it displays in-game.
* '''Playable:''' If "No", the creature is not playable in any modes. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in fortress mode ({{token|SITE_CONTROLLABLE|e}}). "Adv" indicates that the creature is playable in adventure mode. All creatures except humans must have a population in an {{token|ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|e}} civilization in order to be playable in adventure mode; goblins (and other creatures) cannot be played from a goblin civ. Humans can be played whether or not a population exists due to {{token|OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE|c}}, but an {{tt|[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]}} civ still needs to have existed at some point. Creatures with {{token|LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|c}} are also playable in adventure mode.
* '''Hostile:''' If "Yes", then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral, or friendly. [[Undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.
* '''Food Source:''' If "Yes", then the creature can be butchered into an [[meat|edible substance]] that your dwarves will feed on.
* '''Adult Body Size:''' The average [[size]] of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]] to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. This value represents the creature's volume in cm3, which, for creatures made of flesh, more-or-less equals the creature's weight in grams.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163] These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredibly skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).
* '''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].
* '''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.
* '''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, including things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Note: If you wish to view alternate ways of sorting creatures, such as sorting by biomes and location, or sorting domestic creatures by features, there is a new page found here: [[Alternate creature sorting]]

==Creatures==
===Civilized===
====Main races====
These are intelligent creatures that form the dominant [[civilisation|civilized]] races of the world. While most are part of society, many have turned to [[Bandits|Banditry]].

:1. Whether or not you are hostile with select civilized races depends on the history of your game world, and its length. Shorter histories mean less ongoing wars and less general hostility, good for a newer player to learn the basics.
:2. Snatchers try to snatch children of other civilizations. Snatched individuals become part of the Snatcher's civilization.

==== Underground Tribes ====
Intelligent [[animal people]] that form crude civilizations underground, but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers.

:1. Whether an animal person civilization treats you as hostile or not seems random. {{verify}}
:2. Ant-men body sizes depend on their caste.

=== Livestock and Domestic Animals ===


Creatures that have long been [[Domestic animal|domesticated]], and either play a part in the [[meat industry]], or are simply [[pet]]s to keep dwarves company. Note: Except for [[wagon]]s, domestic animals can be bought at embark, or requested from dwarven caravans. Animals of these types below that are caught in the wild with [[cage trap]]s can be tamed after only one session with an [[animal trainer]].

=== Wild Animals ===
This section includes wild [[animals]] as well as their giant and humanoid counterparts. Wild animals are mostly found roaming the wilderness. Many of them are predators, while others are benign, and will not attack unless being attacked first. Some will be drawn to your stockpiles to [[steals drink|steal drink]] [[Steals food|food]] or [[Steals items|something shiny]]. Some can be easily overcome, and yet others can be significant threats, like the dread [[elephant]].

====Agitation====
Disruption of the environment, such as deforestation or overfishing, may cause the appearance of "agitated" animals. Agitated animals, regardless of their normal behavior, will directly seek out and attack dwarves. Agitation can be removed by [[Taming|taming]].

== Night Creatures / Other ==


===Night creatures===
These creatures are either vicious creatures that attack in the night, or are created through certain [[Interaction token|interaction]]s - be it a condition of the game, or intentionally by another creature.

:1. In some worlds, intelligent experiments escape their creators and join normal civilizations. They will then be playable in adventurer mode. 
:2. The player cannot normally start out as an intelligent undead, but can [[unretire]] a former adventurer that has been resurrected. This can also be done (without unretiring) by using [[adventurer party|adventurer parties]]. 
:3. The player cannot start out as a necromancer, but can gain necromancer powers by reading a slab or book containing the secrets of life and death. 
:4. The player cannot start out as a vampire, but can become one if feeding on spilled vampire blood. [[Animal people]] with the ability to suck blood can also gain vampirism by blood-sucking a vampire during combat.

==[https://steamcommunity.com/app/975370/workshop/ Steam Workshop]==

The [[Release_information/50.01|v50.01]] Steam release added support for the [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/about/?appid=975370 Steam Workshop]. You can install mods from the Steam interface if you own Dwarf Fortress on Steam.

==[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=28829.0 Community Mod List]==
{{Under construction}}

A more complete list of mods (compared to this one) is on the Bay 12 forum. The list includes updated links to a multitude of mods, utilities and modding utilities. All featured mods are catered for version 40.01 and up, though some of them might be outdated, and not work with the current version. There also exists links to threads of similar function for the older versions.

The list does not, however, encompass all up-to-date mods published on the forum, for that one has to search through the [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=27.0 Mod Releases board], or even the [http://dffd.bay12games.com/index.php Dwarf Fortress File Depot], the site where nigh all uploaded mods are stored.

== Notable Mods ==
{{Under construction}}

This section is currently empty, as few mods have been updated to v50.0x. Feel free to copy over mod info from other namespaces, if/when those mods get updated.

'''Future of the Fortress''' is the name of a series of threads on the [[Bay 12 Forums]]. [[Toady]] will periodically get around to a "Future of the Fortress reply", where he will answer any unanswered questions. Other forum members answer questions if the answers can be found elsewhere or the question is a repeat.

==History==
Future of the Fortress threads started out as discussions of the [[Dwarf Fortress Development|development logs]], called "Future of the Fortress" at the time. They eventually changed into a question and answer format.

Voliol: English as "Human language" is bad

{{av}}

{{distinguish|wikipedia: Language|l1= any real-life language}}
The '''human language''' is one of the [[language]]s the player will come across. This language is used in-game for the names of the universe, continents, rivers, human governments and settlements, [[human]]s, [[artifact]]s and [[engraving]]s, However, as of yet, it lacks everything necessary for proper conversation, like grammar or personal pronouns.

==Alphabet==
The letters of the human alphabet are:

[[File:tree_z_levels_v50.gif|thumb|225px|right|Ascending z-levels of a [[pear|pear tree]].]]'''Trees''' are a multi-[[tile]] feature that can be found aboveground on all but the most arid, or mountainous of maps, and below ground in the [[cavern]]s. The types of trees that grow in a given location depend on that location's [[biome]], as different species prefer different conditions. For example, tropical areas often have palm trees, while colder areas feature pines. Underground trees such as [[nether-cap]]s are an exception, as they will grow anywhere underground. The species of a tree in turn determines its properties, including its structure, the color and density of its wood and what kind of growths it produces. Note also that "trees" in ''Dwarf Fortress'' also covers things that are not actually trees, such as palms, cacti, large herbaceous plants (e.g. [[banana]]s), and large mushrooms (underground trees).
{{Translation
| dwarven = dák
| elvish = thelire
| goblin = tonspe
| human = akan
}}
Trees are used as a source of [[wood]], an essential resource in the game, irreplaceable (or hard to replace) for some applications. Thus, the amount of local trees greatly affects fortress development, as without a ready source of wood, the player will be forced to rely on [[trade]] to get it. Tree growth density on the [[embark]] site is determined by its [[biome]], so it is displayed with the rest of the biome properties (temperature, etc.) on the "Choose Fortress Location" screen at embark.

== Structure ==
[[File:Tree animated.gif|thumb|Animation of all z-levels of an [[apricot]] tree. ASCII mode.]]
Trees consist of several types of tiles - '''roots''', '''trunk''' sections, '''thick branches''', '''branches''', and '''twigs''', that may be covered in a number of "growths" (leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, cones, etc.), depending on species and season. A single tree is a structure that can span multiple tiles of each type in both horizontal and vertical directions. For example, a typical deciduous tree will have a single tile-wide trunk at ground level supporting a multiple-level crown of intertwined trunk sections, branches and twigs covered with leaves. Not all species follow the same scheme, though - palms have a high, naked trunk that doesn't branch and just a tuft of leaves on top of it, and some species can have trunks that are thicker than a single tile at ground level. Trees also have an underground system of roots, but there is only one kind of root tile and the extent of the root system doesn't seem to vary with species.

Graphically, vertical 1×1 trunk sections resemble wooden columns {{tile|O|6:0}}. The thicker trunks (2×2 and 3×3) are represented by rounded double-line structures. Above the first ground level the trunk may branch out, producing horizontal trunk sections that resemble wooden [[wall]]s {{tile|║|6:0}}. These can peter out into thick branches {{tile|│|6:0}} or end directly with branches {{tile|¼|2:0}}. The branches can extend further out, ending with twigs {{tile|;|2:0}}. A vertical trunk end, if not covered with a branch, is represented by a pointed cap {{tile|⌂|6:0}}.

Root tiles ({{tile|¼|6:0}}) overlap a number of underground tiles below each tree. They can be designated for digging, but because they usually use the same brown color as the mining designation rectangle, the designation is not evident (the only exceptions are trees with white roots). Some trees can have multiple tiles of roots, others just the one{{verify}}.

Dug-away roots of a tree can spawn twigs and fruits of the tree around them if there is space and grass/cave moss there. You can in principle access fruit trees from below the tree, without putting a dwarf in danger or walling off the tree.

There are exceptions to the description above. [[Saguaro]]s don't have any leafy branches or twigs, just a trunk and thick branches. Mushroom cap trees that grow in the caverns underground don't have branches - instead they have a '''cap''' consisting of ramps that can be walked upon.

Trees can be [[climb]]ed in both fortress and [[adventurer mode]]. In densely wooded areas, the overlapping tree crowns can form a continuous canopy that can be traversed by walking, climbing and/or jumping. Both thick and regular branches provide a floor-like support for walking. Twigs are too frail to support the weight of a dwarf, but they can be climbed through and jumped over. All kinds of trunk tiles are treated as solid barriers, except trunk tips - they can be climbed through and jumped over like twigs.

On ground level, tree trunks are obstacles that prevent [[channel]]ing or the creation of [[wall]]s and other [[construction]]s on their tiles. This is problematic for caravan [[wagon]]s, which require a path at least three tiles wide in order to access your fortress; on heavily forested maps it may be necessary to check [[trade depot|depot]] access ({{k|D}}) every once in a while as trees continue to grow to make sure wagons can get through, and chop down ({{k|d}}-{{k|t}}) the impeding forest if they can't. Later on this can actually become a blessing, as if there is only one or a few pathways to the fortress it makes it easier to route incoming caravans down certain well-defended pathways, instead of allowing them to choose their own way across the map, where they may fall foul of ambushers or worse. It also makes building above-ground constructions more challenging, as any trees in the way must be chopped down first.

A tree's branches and leaves will result in the tiles below them being considered "inside", leading to the formation of [[miasma]] if corpse and body parts decay while under them. It is therefore advisable to ensure no trees grow in the immediate vicinity of your corpse stockpiles.

=== Growths ===
Growths are the things that grow ''on'' a tree, i.e: they are not an essential part of the tree's structure and can be shed or picked without destroying the tree. This includes leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, seed pods, catkins, cones, etc. Each tree species has at least one type of growth, the most common one, unsurprisingly, being leaves.

The leaves of deciduous trees change color in the autumn, fall before the winter and grow back in the spring. Fallen leaves will color the tiles beneath their trees, turning the forest floor into a colorful patchwork.

Trees of fruit-producing species usually grow flowers in spring and fruit later in the year. Flowers will fall in a cloud during the transition from flowers to fruit; the cloud is shown falling, and examining the ground after that will show "<tree> flowers" in addition to other tile contents. Both flowers and fruit appear and fall at set times through the year, so it is possible that a young tree that has never flowered will give fruit.

Fruit can be picked from trees in Adventure mode. Fortress mode harvesting is done with a [[stepladder]] (as long as the fruit-bearing tree is within a plant gathering zone) or by collecting fallen fruits. Fruit can be brewed at a [[still]]. Cutting down a tree with fruit causes the fruit to vanish{{verify}}.

If a tree is set on fire in fortress mode and is described as 'dead' when examined, it will eventually rejuvenate itself and come back to life after a few years, starting from the trunk and leading out into the branches if left alone.

== Chopping down trees ==
{{main|Woodcutting}}

Trees can be cut down by dwarves to produce [[wood]]. It is enough to [[designations menu|designate]] only one trunk tile for cutting to chop down the whole tree it belongs to - any trunk tile will do, even those that are above ground, or even a single tile of a multi-tile trunk. As a result, it's impossible to "prune" trees by chopping down only parts of them.

Once a woodcutter is done with the first tile, the tree instantly converts to a number of free-floating logs that fall to the ground in a direction away from the cutter. Cutting a tree from a trunk section above ground level may result in the woodcutter losing their footing and crashing to the ground (similar to having a tile deconstructed under their feet).

If you dug the tile below the trunk before cutting the tree, it will leave a hole to the surface, potentially allowing dangerous creatures to path into your underground fort. Avoid digging directly below one z-level in wooded areas before clearing out the trees, and make sure to check for open floor spaces {{Tile|·|0:1}} on the surface afterwards. If holes are present, construct [[floor]] tiles over the holes, which will prevent creatures from moving below. Constructing a wall below the open floor will work as well. Unexplained underground logs can alert you to the presence of these "guest entrances". Moving a building preview all around the surface (kennels are good for their size) and inspecting any non-ramp or tree invalid tiles can sweep large areas.

If you had [[smoothing|smoothed]] the wall below the trunk and then cut down the tree, it will leave an open floor above the smoothed wall, unlike constructed walls (see this [[tile#Walls|diagram]] for a visual illustration). If there is an open space adjacent to the smoothed wall, creatures can diagonally move below the adjacent space (by swimming, flying, or climbing) from the open floor above. Such occurrences should be uncommon, as it requires the tile below the tree to be made of stone (so it can be smoothed), and occur mainly in [[mountain]] biomes and areas affected by erosion.

=== Objects and tiles in trees ===

Some trees have been found to have objects or tiles contained within the branches. Cutting down these trees can be hazardous to your dwarves. You can check all the z-levels of every tree you wish to cut, or you can just take the risk and experience occasional fun!

== Products ==
=== Wood ===
{{main|Wood}}

One of the variations between the different tree species is in the weight and color of their wood. Weight is often a minor concern but when using wood to create objects that will be moved, such as bins or buckets, choosing lighter wood is an advantage as it will be hauled faster. Heavier wood will make wooden weapons and siege engine projectiles more effective, while lighter wooden shields reduce penalties to speed while blocking just as well as heavier shields.

Nonetheless, all types of wood have the same (low) value (beyond the [[preference]]s of individual dwarves), although the [[color]] of the wood may matter for aesthetic purposes.

=== Fruit ===
Various kinds of tree produce fruit. In [[dwarf fortress mode]], they can be gathered with a [[stepladder]] in a designated [[zone#Gather/pick Fruit|plant gathering zone]], and [[Elf|elves]] will also bring fruit to [[trading|trade]]. Fruit can be eaten, producing [[seed]]s. The following trees produce usable fruit in vanilla: apple, apricot, avocado, banana, bayberry, bitter orange, carambola, cashew, cherry, citron, coconut palm, coffee, custard-apple, date palm, desert lime, durian, finger lime, guava, kumquat, lime, lychee, mango, olive, orange, papaya, paradise nut, peach, pear, persimmon, plum, pomegranate, pomelo, rambutan, round lime, saguaro, and sand pear. Not all of these can be brewed; see [[alcohol]] for a list of brewable fruit.

Instead of fruit some trees will produce nuts, which are actually seeds. Since tree seeds currently can't be planted, feel free to allow cooking of these. The nut-producing trees in vanilla are: almond, candlenut, chestnut, hazel, macadamia, oak, pecan, and walnut.

== Growing trees ==
Trees grow from '''saplings''', which start growing randomly on non-occupied tiles of a suitable biome; thus chopping down a forest may create a clearing, but within a couple of years a new forest will have grown. Saplings will not grow to maturity if their tile contains an item or building (including stockpile designations), though removing the item may cause the tree to spontaneously grow up. Saplings will block the construction of farm plots unless there is also a dusting or pile of mud beneath them.

Saplings can be killed by heavy [[traffic|foot traffic]] and removed by building a road on them, but not by flooding — they can survive submergence for extended periods of time and will still grow to maturity once the water level drops to 4/7{{verify}} or lower. Dead saplings will remain for some seasons, and then disappear, more quickly if heavy traffic tramples them away. Many underground trees are called "young <tree>" instead of sapling, but the concept is the same. Paved [[road]]s and (even unbuilt) [[farm plot]]s periodically purge all terrain features below them, preventing trees (or shrubs) from growing in unwanted areas. Trees cannot grow on stairs or ramps, making it possible to keep trees out of your plumbing by using {{K|u}}p stairs instead of {{K|d}}igging (this does not reveal the tile above). Above-ground trees will only grow in areas where there is sufficient soil one z-level beneath them (currently observed to be at least one unmined tile within a two-tile radius); underground trees not only ignore this restriction for dry subterranean soil but will also grow on muddy subterranean stone.

Trees ''cannot'' be specifically "planted" ([http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html as of yet]); even if a map is stripped of all trees, new saplings will regrow, randomly and in their own time. (Sadly, the [[elf|elves]] do not seem to comprehend this.) It is possible to [[tree farming|farm]] trees by walling off or engineering a patch of soil and locking it away so your dwarves don't trample all over it, but it will take a long time for the farm to yield results. After you expose the caverns, subterranean flora (including trees) will begin to grow on any exposed, previously-bare soil within your fortress; this can be annoying when a copse of [[blood thorn]]s suddenly appears in your [[sand#Glass|sand collection]] area, but allows you to easily mine out large subterranean [[Tree farming|tree farms]] full of colorful subterranean trees.

If a sapling grows into a tree, it can block off narrow areas, such as one-tile-long hallways in a muddy cavern layer. This can cause dwarves to take longer alternate routes to perform their jobs, or entrap them entirely.
{{clear}}

One can grow additional tree branches by digging away parts of tree roots and replacing them with grass or cave moss. Afterwards, when tree grows, it may spread (fruit-bearing) branches there.

== Growth rate & wood yield ==
From the time a sapling appears, it takes about three years for a tree to grow. Trees make a growth check once every year, and then grow randomly - it's possible for a tree to reach eight z-levels of height in a decade, not have gone past five in three or avoid growing branches at all initially.

Most tree raws currently specify exactly the same canopies. They'll yield more wood overall with sparser cutting, though the breakeven point is unknown presently. Each "tree trunk" tile will yield exactly one log, while light branches, twigs and (brown) heavy branches will give nothing. The size of aboveground trees at embark depends heavily on unknown factors beyond age and species; possibly temperature, latitude or biome?{{Verify}}

For wood, branching trees with nonbranching trunks (Papayas, Ginkgos, Saguaros, Pines, Cedars, Fungiwoods, Alders, and Birches) should be cut down preferentially, as their branches will obscure saplings and their trunks grow slower. They will not yield any more wood past reaching their maximum trunk height (4-9 depending on species). Vice-versa, Glumprong trees are near-ideal for forestry, as they're all trunk, though their max height is limited to 8.

Palm trees don't obscure other ones with canopies, so should be cut when wood is needed or when they reach their maximum height of 9.

== Aboveground trees ==
Most of them bear fruits and nuts, which can be [[Activity zone#Gather/Pick Fruit|harvested]] for food and drinks. At this time, only the ASCII graphics of the trees are shown in the following table, and not the [[premium version]]'s graphics.

==Bugs==
* Trees grow through bridges. {{bug|7872}}
* Cutting down trees will leave a hole in the floor if the layer below has been mined (which has the potential for lots of fun, especially considering invaders). {{bug|8469}}
* Trees not yielding wood will not be generated. {{bug|10581}}
* Some underground trees will only give one log. {{bug|7313}}

==Trivia==
*It is possible for animals to be stuck up in trees at the moment of embarking. This will cause them to starve to death after a while as they have no means of getting down. So the player should check higher z-levels above the wagon once the playing area is generated, and immediately cutting down any trees animals are stuck in.

'''Angels''' {{Raw Tile|Ä|7:0}} are procedurally-generated [[creature]]s created by [[Deity|deities]] to guard the [[vault]]s erected by [[demon]]s who were twisted into humanoid form in a time before time. Facing them is one form of endgame in [[adventurer mode]].

==Overview==
[[File:Bim-sarasti.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Mudung's Monster, a towering eyeless grasshopper. It has two long, spiral horns and it never appears to be perturbed or surprised by any happening. Its indigo exoskeleton is wrinkled. It was created by the human goddess Mudung Deepperplexes and is of a part with fate." ([http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169691.msg7701761#msg7701761 post])]]

Angels are randomly generated at worldgen, with appearance, arms, armor, and even material determined by the [[sphere]]s of their creator. The term "angel" is used loosely – after all, they are sent by deities that knowingly released [[demon]]s into the world. As such, they are disproportionately associated with "dark" or "violent" spheres like deformity and war, and with fittingly vile appearances, but even those associated with neutral or supposedly-positive spheres tend to be utterly bizarre in appearance. The WAR, VALOR and FORTRESSES spheres boost the natural combat skills of the "'''Soldier'''" angel type to 10 from 6. The sphere effects on body materials work the same way they do for demons etc., so a muck god will more likely have mud angels, a rainbow god; crystal angels, etc. (there are about 30 spheres with material links). DEATH, MISERY, DARKNESS and NIGHT sphere angels can have dark color alterations. All angels share certain traits, however; they are [[fanciful]] [[creatures]] who are all able to swim in and [[Amphibious|breathe]] water and [[Building destroyer|destroy buildings]]. Furthermore, they are immune to [[Trapavoid|traps]], [[No Pain|pain]], fear, nausea, [[No Stun|stunning]], [[No Exert|exertion]], dizziness, fevers and any sort of poison. Unlike demons, angels do not seem to be universally immune to [[fire]]. Assistants and Soldiers are able to equip items and freely open unlocked [[door]]s. Some angels have access to a [[syndrome]] called "divine sickness", whose effects are randomized, but typically include effects such as vomiting blood, blisters, numbness and nausea. Others may have [[Creature_token#EXTRAVISION|extravision]], and they can be genderless, or have male and female castes.

Dwarves will never have a [[preferences|preference]] for angels, as they possess no {{token|PREFSTRING}}. They possess an unused [[Pet#Pet value|pet value]] of 2,000. Like other procedurally-generated creatures, they are not available to be spawned in the [[object testing arena]].

Even if you kill all the angels inside a vault, they will eventually respawn (no confirmation yet about how long it takes – a cleared vault has been witnessed having its population back in under a month) which makes vaults pretty good high-level item grinding grounds. Try to kill at least one Soldier and pick up their gear – your adventure will instantly become much easier. Do note that angels are quite capable of wandering out of their vaults, slaughtering any stragglers, so lingering near one is not a good idea.

Dwarven [[squad]]s can attempt to [[Mission|explore]] a vault in order to recover the slab in it, as it's considered a [[legendary artifact]]. The guardians will defend their lair (and probably slaughter your dwarves) accordingly. However, if you successfully conquer a vault through a fortress mode mission, the soldiers become a playable race in adventure mode with dwarven starting setup and ethics. If you do embark on a vault, the assistants and archangel appear to become tame livestock. They can be made available as pets or slaughtered and butchered. Soldiers remain hostile, but do not appear to leave the vault on their own.

Digging into an "[[unusual volcanic wall]] studded with gems" has a chance to reveal an angel, alongside [[magma|other]] [[demon|fun]] [[hell|things]].

Overall, they are easier to defeat than demons for their smaller sizes (save for the Archangel) and lower chance of having a special ability.

==Angel types==
[[File:Angel_Size.png|thumb|200px|Estimated size comparison between a group of angels (All made by the same god, Solon) and a dwarf.]]
Angels come in three categories:

===Assistant===
'''Assistants''' ({{Raw Tile|Ä|6:0:0}} or {{Raw Tile|ä|6:0:0}}) are highly randomized bestial angels; though more than a match for most adventurers, they're the least dangerous angels, with level 4 combat skills and no weapons or armor, though they are able to equip them given the chance. A vault always contains exactly 50 of them.

===Soldier===
'''Soldiers''' ({{Raw Tile|Ä|3:0:1}} or {{Raw Tile|ä|3:0:1}}) are sentient humanoid foes, with armor and weapons of [[divine metal]] and clothes of [[divine fabric]]. They are guaranteed to have "Talented"-level combat skills. Their size is highly randomized - they can be larger or smaller than an average [[human]] - in some cases, their size difference from the player will be so marginal that they become able to use their [[divine fabric|divine clothing]]. A vault always contains exactly 25 of them. In some vaults, but not all of them, these soldiers have names similar to those of civilized creatures, albeit in divine language. Soldiers tend to be made of flesh, even though the others may be made of an inorganic material.

===Archangel===
The '''Archangel''' ({{Raw Tile|Ä|4:0:1}}) is the huge, bestial guardian of the final chamber. Only a single one of these powerful foes can be found in a vault. They occupy 10,000,000 cm³, the same size as a [[forgotten beast]], and possess Grand Master [[skill]] in [[wrestling]], [[Combat skill|biting]], striking, kicking, fighter, [[Archery|archer]], dodging and [[observer]], making them almost equivalent in power to a unique demon if only they could have special attacks.

Defeating the archangel grants the player access to the [[slab]] related to the vault's demon, allowing them to either bind them to their service or banish them back to the [[Underworld]].

==Divine language==
{{Main|Divine language}}
Angel names are generated using a divine language. The divine language works just like any of the four major languages in the respect that it has its own translation of a set of English words. Unlike the other languages, however, it is generated individually for each world. Each world has only one divine language, meaning that all angels in all vaults in a given world will use the same language.

In the world raws, the divine language is referred to as GEN_DIVINE. By changing an entity's TRANSLATION token to GEN_DIVINE, it's possible to make them use the same names as the angels.

Voliol: /* Verification notes */

== Verification notes ==

Re: [[Werebeast#Infecting_your_entire_fort]] - verification of some were-beasts too small to trap in cage traps.
*I've no reason to doubt this is true, but the editor sounded like there was an element of doubt, so just wondering if we can get confirmation. Also, a screenshot mentioned in the edit sounds interesting, and would be quite cool to include in the page, which is quite text dense in this section. [[User:Alpacalypse|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse|talk]]) 02:49, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

*Editor here re above post: I tried uploading the screenshot of the wereraccoon, but it won't let me upload files. I doubt external links are allowed in page, so I will post the imgur link here and someone with permission can add it: https://imgur.com/a/F0Y72ZA [[User:Scavello|Scavello]] ([[User talk:Scavello|talk]]) 4:33 18 March 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks, I'll upload the image. You might not have been able to upload if you hadn't made three edits yet on your registered account. Upon reading some relevant wiki sections, I think the sentence might need some rewording, or further investigation: Supposedly werebeasts are immune to traps due to [[Trapavoid]], rather than size. Do you have any more information on catching the wereracoon? Did you have any webs in the room, or mods installed that might have influenced this, for instance? It might even be a bug. Either way, thanks for commenting and sharing the image. It's an interesting discovery that should lead to even more comprehensive wiki info. [[User:Alpacalypse|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse|talk]]) 15:38, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

:I slightly reworded the sentence in question, to reflect the current state of this discussion. [[User:Alpacalypse|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse|talk]]) 17:34, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

*There were no webs in the room, and I have no extra mods installed that would affect this (better transparency for smooth stone designation is about it really), and that room specifically works with the wereapes I have in my fortress as well, I have already spread the wereape infection to 2 other "volun-dorfs". Also side note, the wereapes, and wereraccoons do not get along at all. Perhaps I will try the wereraccoon again to see if it continues to happen, maybe also setup a trap gauntlet for it to run to see if it triggers any other traps, that the wereapes don't. [[User:Scavello|Scavello]] 23:41, March 20 2023 (UTC)

*Second test - results: Same sterile test room, no webs, no mods that would interfere, has worked previously with wereapes, wereraccoon was trapped again and did not get a chance to attack the test subject. [[User:Scavello|Scavello]] 04:22, March 22, 2023 (UTC)

*It would be strange if wereraccoons could not be caught in cage traps due to their (small) size. I do not believe we have the numbers for the werebeast sizes (though they would not be difficult to extract), but all manners of creatures such as crundles and stoats can be caught in cage traps - and those are surely smaller. In other words, the only reason for wereraccoons to be trappable would be for there to either be a mechanic which prevents small creatures to be caught in cage traps, which must in that case be new to v50, or for the wereraccoons to have some other token influencing their interaction with traps. Or it could be a bug of course, or human error. --[[User:Voliol|Voliol]] ([[User talk:Voliol|talk]]) 10:44, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

== Page structure ==

I found myself having trouble finding or accurately referencing sections of this article that were within quite long sections and paragraphs. I took the liberty of restructuring a couple of section headings, and adding a few subsections. It's a bit subjective, so I'm just leaving a note here, in case anyone has any thoughts on this. [[User:Alpacalypse|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse|talk]]) 17:31, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

== Werebeasts in fortresses update ==

The [[Werebeast#Werebeasts_in_fortresses|Werebeasts in fortresses]] section could do with some specific information about visitors being able to transform whilst visiting one of your fortress locations.

<onlyinclude>
[[File:egg_sprite_preview.png|right]]'''Eggs''' are laid by creatures with the {{token|LAYS_EGGS|c}} token, or grown by [[feather tree]]s. This includes ordinary fowl and reptiles, and also some more exotic creatures such as [[giant eagle]]s, [[dragon]]s, [[kobold]]s, and many others. Eggs can be used by dwarves as [[food]], or they can be hatched. Eggs can only be eaten raw if at least one of their component materials (yolk, white, or shell) is edible raw; otherwise, they have to be cooked into prepared meals first.

Egg-laying animals will claim an empty [[nest box]] if one is available.

Males can also be [[mod]]ded to lay eggs, although these may not hatch.Needs clarification
</onlyinclude>
[[File:eggs.png|thumb|290px|center|What's an egg's least favorite drug? Crack.]]
== Hatching Conditions ==

{{catbox|DF2014:Egglaying}}Hatching eggs requires that the dwarves are prevented from removing the eggs (and mother) from the nest box until they have a chance to hatch. This can be done by placing the nest box behind a locked [[door]] or by [[forbid]]ding the eggs in the nest box. Forbidding eggs on the [[menu#Kitchen Screen|kitchen menu]] will ''not'' prevent dwarves from removing them from the nest box — it will only prevent them from being cooked. Similarly, modifying all [[stockpile]]s to disallow eggs will prevent hauling jobs, however the eggs remain available for [[cook]]ing and eating. It is sometimes possible to remove the mother briefly or near the end of gestation, and have the eggs still hatch (shown with both sentients and livestock). However, for elk bird feeding it is recommended to use chains and animal caretakers instead.

Eggs may be fertilized when laid, or they may not be. In order for eggs to be fertilized, a male of the species must be present (though this does not always ''guarantee'' fertilization). Unlike in previous versions of ''Dwarf Fortress'', the male must have spent time with the female to fertilize their seed pouch (the male need not be ''alive'' at the time of egglaying, however). One fertilization provides seed for two egglayings, but in practice the first tends to bring the population over the pet cap. Depending on the animal, fertilization chances seem to differ. {{verify}} If the creature is sapient (has any of the {{token|INTELLIGENT|c}}, {{token|CAN_LEARN|c}} or {{token|CAN_SPEAK|c}} tokens), then the egg-laying female must also be married in order for her eggs to be fertilized, and she must also have spent time with her husband. (In short, egg fertilization has the same conditions as normal impregnation in the game.)

All fertilized eggs left undisturbed in a nest box hatch after exactly 3 months, unlike in real life.

== Egg Production ==
{{main|Egg production}}
Fortresses can set up [[egg production]] as a source of [[food]]. This requires at least one adult, tame, female egg-laying [[animal]], a built and unclaimed [[nest box]], [[food hauling]], and [[cooking]].

== Egg Composition ==
It appears from tests that the [[material]] an egg is made out of is actually the shell; this includes meals made from the eggs.

'''Giant eagles''' are the over-sized version of [[eagle]]s, found in the same wide array of [[savage]] [[biome]]s. They can be extremely annoying to an early fortress due to their ability to fly over your fortress defenses and kill your unarmed civilians. Unlike [[giant kea|other aerial pests]], giant eagles will generally not path into your fortress, and usually only attack if provoked. They may also appear as [[mount]]s during a [[siege]], resulting in a highly-maneuverable and dangerous squad of attackers. All giant eagles are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].

Captured giant eagles may be kept as exotic [[pet]]s, requiring substantial time and effort to tame. Unfortunately, they cannot be trained to increase their combat effectiveness. [[elf|Elven]] [[caravan]]s may offer to trade tame giant eagles if the elven [[civilization]] is situated in a mountainous area.

Giant eagles are relatively useless for [[egg production]] thanks to their small clutch sizes, but they are a viable choice for your [[meat industry]], yielding a respectable amount of food without [[grazer|grazing]]. Once hatched, giant eagle hatchlings take roughly one year to reach adulthood.

There is a current bug where tamed animals that have the [FLYING] tag won't actually fly. Once tamed, your giant eagles will remain earthbound and never take to the sky, which makes them somewhat less deadly than they would otherwise be.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant eagles for their ''high soaring''.

{{D for Dwarf}}
Through the use of the latest magma-powered and minecart-driven science, we have solved the riddle of whether a dwarf carrying a ◄gold ring► can be flown to a volcano to dispose of said ring. It cannot.

Voliol: Rule T. I've had fortress guards maul criminals in v50, so that isn't entirely gone.

'''Training weapons''' are [[Edge|edgeless]] [[Wood|wooden]] [[Weapon|weapons]] created at a [[carpenter's workshop]]. There are three kinds available; axes, spears, and swords.

[[Dwarves]] won't harm each other (or themselves) during [[combat drills]], or [[Training#Sparring_and_demonstration|sparring]] while using [[Metal|metal weapons]], so training weapons are only useful when you have no metal weapon of the kind you'd like your soldiers to train with, and in a few specific circumstances.

Training weapons are virtually useless in [[combat]], so make sure that your soldiers have exchanged them for real weapons before sending them into battle, even if it means using a weapon they are totally unfamiliar with. Their utter uselessness can prove useful for [[live training]], however.

Note that soldiers equipped with training weapons for extended periods of time can grow [[Attachment|attached]] to their worthless wooden weapons. Congratulations - you now have a legendary stick.

Training weapons may also be used as non-lethal equipment for your [[fortress guard]], to prevent them to [[Fun|seriously wound or kill]] [[Justice#Crimes|criminals]], including [[Mandate|mandate violators]]. Though it is unclear how often this happens in ''Dwarf Fortress'' v50.

Training axes cannot be used for [[Wood cutter|cutting down trees]].
