If I remember right the body RCP file is for the randomly generated creatures. As for what it stands for, I'm guessing 'random creature parts'.

Can someone remind me what the difference is between body_default.txt and body_rcp.txt in the raws? What does RCP stand for?

Really Cool Parts. It's where the cool parts of the body are kept, like the zamzorch and kerlfushineeger glands.

I've been poking around through google but haven't located a solution to a little, irritating bug I'm having with Dwarf Therapist in the latest Lazy Newb Pack for DF14. Every drat dwarf is showing up with 0 happiness constantly. While that would inevitably be accurate at some point, I don't think it's quite accurate from 0 seconds in all the way through the inevitable tantrum spiral in two fortresses.

Also, I'm pleased to report that the only were creature I've seen arrived during a necromancer siege and was promptly beaten to death by an undead human archer. I don't think I got an announcement of the creature's arrival, either.

Are you using the most recent LNP? (Can't read, you are)


Dwarf Therapist has happiness "disabled" (forced to 0) while they rewrite it to support the new emotion system. DFHacks monitor plugin kind of works (with some assumptions on what good stress levels are), but DT is completely disabled for now.

Thanks! :downs: Looks like I'm the illiterate. I didn't notice that in the documentation. I have experienced the new, uh, ~emotions~. Pretty sure half of my first DF14 fort became mummies.

Another stupid question. Is there any way through the menus to change the zoom in DF? My laptop trackpad is kinda nuts and doesn't mesh too well with DF. So far I've only managed to increase zoom, regardless of what I'm doing on the pad. I'm blind, but not that blind.

I think there's a keybind you can set... yeah, in data/init/interfaces.txt there are ZOOM_IN and ZOOM_OUT. Can't do it through menus, AFAIK. Check out the wiki on how to change bindings

I just embarked on a really neat river formation. The river flows in from the north, falls about 10 z levels into a triangular basin, and splits off into 2 rivers to the east and south. I'm planning to build a warren of bridges and platforms across the gap and have an open air cliffside surface farm, but what other fun things should I do?

I cleaned up some crashes today. One of them involved a night creature that had wandered into a shop and killed the owner... the creature then somehow got assigned as the owner. The crash happened when the night creature tried to come up with things to say to potential shoppers, since it didn't have a civilization as a frame of reference. I fixed that part, but I still have no idea why it thought it should change professions in the first place...

It goes on like this for awhile. And is still happening. I ended up making the Planter a squad and assigned him a ☼silver war hammer☼ to see if I can speed whatever is going on along.

Fake edit: Crazy planter is the dwarf werelizard's cousin and is reacting poorly to the rest of hammersquad trying to off his transformed relative. All of the planter's murders appear to be justice-free.

This game is amazing.

How captive is he? If they can see him, they think it's a threat that can hurt them. Even if there's no way it can get to them from the bottom of that pit or through the fortifications or whatever. Lock him behind a door / floor hatch. Out of sight, out of mind.

Usual method for me is behind a construction. In this case I was experimenting with moon-cycled terror exposure for the military when werelizard's relatives went mental and started their murderspree. Setup was walled in behind a fortification.

This is from a seasonal save before the fortification was carved at the red arrow. After carving, at the next transformation back to dwarf is when the terror begins.



But time to ditch all that for DF 40.17

Mifki's apparently had the TWBT updating on the back burner in favor of something new and neat that he's excited about.

After he farted out Text Will Be Text and Web Fortress pretty much spontaneously, I'm sorta curious myself.

New devblog:

quote:

(Toady One) Today saw the addition of an oft-requested feature -- the ability to geld! We stayed away from new parts, but there's a body part tag for it on appropriate male critters, as well as a job and so on. The job takes place at the farmer's workshop after the animal is designated in a way similar to slaughtering. The process is modeled with a wound within the existing framework.

All breeding also occurs within touch range now, though there isn't a new activity for it or anything. Some more tools for breeding and animal population control are now in place. Due to the raw changes, it won't be available in old saves without tweaking the raws.

To avoid having to create new bodies for the males, there was also a small addition to the raws to allow body part tags to be added/removed after a caste has bodies. It only works with the simple tags like LOWERBODY/STANCE/SIGHT/GUTS/etc. rather than tissue flags at this point, but it's useful for a few things. For example, after declaring the male caste, [SET_BP_GROUP:BY_TYPE:LOWERBODY][BP_ADD_TYPE:GELDABLE].

the lengths he went to in order to avoid actually making animal penises is laudable

Which is a much nicer and saner then killing all female cats, or killing all dwarfs that arrive with inconvenient pets. I just hope you can geld pets without the owners permission.
