For when you get around to it there's a minor typo:

*** Error(s) found in the file "data/installed_mods/intros_kobolds (18)/graphics/graphics_kobold_portrait.txt"
Tile page token not recognized: INTROBOLD_PORTRAIT_BODYe

@intro that's totally understandable. Thanks for the response and I hope you have a good time regardless of what you're doing.

@Dingus: I'm sorry to say that there's no ETA yet. I've had a lot of false starts on making an update over the past few months (or even fixing the weapon sprites), but the energy hasn't been there. I'm sure I'll get to it at some point, probably when I'm next in a Dwarf Fortress mood, but I'm not sure when that'll be.

Hi I was just curious if there's any kind of updated eta for when you can update this? Not wanting to be rude or anything just wondering. I'd contribute/help if I was more modding savvy

@Dom I also struggled with this yesterday, but I found that you can go to the workshop-folder in steamapps (I think that's where it was), find it in the folder with Dwarf Fortress' steam ID as its name, and manually copy it over into the mods-folder.

You then get a new button when creating a new world that lets you add mods to it.

Is this mod currently broken? When I subscribe Steam says it's downloading but when I look in the mods folder nothing appears, and it's not appearing in the mod list?

@Otter: They do indeed age faster, and have more children, although they are more gay. They're also slightly smaller than dwarves, have different stats (high agility and creativity, less strength and focus), and have scales instead of skin. There might be other differences, since I used vanilla kobolds as a base, but I didn't change much else.

Do you have a list of what makes them different than dwarves? I noticed their maturity age is lower and they have more children

@rousyrunt44: You want to open "creature_kobold.txt" in the mod files and Ctrl-F for "CASTE:FEMALE". Under [CASTE:FEMALE] and [CASTE:MALE], there are ORIENTATION tokens. If you erase the lines with ORIENTATION, they should go to the default orientation of preferring opposite sex partners.

Sure, I could use some instructions. Its actually been a looooong time since Ive messed with the game files lol

@Maximus: Having more mechanics with temperature is on my DF feature wishlist. Unfortunately, creatures generally ignore temp unless it's hot enough to melt their flesh, IIRC, so there isn't much I can add in that department.

@Marker: I'm not really sure what's up with that, to be honest! I've seen people mention that it's because tissues aren't set up correctly, but all kobolds would be invincible if that were the case. I gave it a test and kobold babies were very much not invincible! Could've been a one-off bug or something?

@rousyrunt44: I can't add extra options without making it a pain or uploading a separate mod. Creature orientation is pretty simple to tweak on your own, though. I can give you instructions if you like!

Could there be an option to make the kobolds have less gay and bi relationships? (basically make them similar to dwarves in that regard.) Im not offended by that stuff or anything, Im moreso curious if it would lead to a koboldsplosion of population like what can happen with cats.

Are the kobold babies invincible? My fort got overrun by undead, and they ended up endlessly attacking them with their attacks "passing through" them until they eventually died of thirst.

i kind of wish there were extra challenges with playing kobolds instead of dwarves, like right now I don't really see a point in playing dwarf fortress with no dwarves. some mechanics like having to build unique hearth structures to stave off the cold because kobolds can't handle cold on account of them being reptiles would be cool...

@Th232r: I can't say for certain, but my longer kobold forts haven't had a shortage of children. The kobolds may be gayer but they also tend to have more children. Twins and triples are common iirc

@Rhaas: I meant to do the weapon sprite bugfix with the baby and children update, but I've been struggling with making the new art. I'm gonna see about fixing the weapon sprites sooner rather than later. I don't have an ETA though

Can confirm, they are super gay af. Does this prevent normal population growth?

Probably my favourite DF mod, great work

Has anybody figured out any band aid fix to weapon sprites?

Is there any specific guidance you'd give on where to load this mod in the mod order? I'm pretty sure I'm loading it right in this new world - I've definitely had kobolds before - but for some reason they're also just never appearing in the world for me.

nvm I didn't notice that dwarves were mixed in with them, I got my kobolds they're cute

I've tried using this mod many times and it's never worked, I don't understand why. The only other mod I have is no aquifers and this is working fine. I enable it at world gen every time but I always get a party of dwarves, big sad

Love this mod. I literally always use it in every save.
Kobolds > dwarves

Is there an issue with the horns? During charter creation in adventure mode the horns never changed when I would randomize the character and once I accepted a character, it had a different set of horns.

I'm also curious if I can use DFHack to alter the horns? I've found settings for just about all other physical appearance settings but can't seem to identify anything for the horns.

It turns out that I am indeed stupid (Yes, that was the problem. Thank you, I didn't realise that this was a thing you had to do to get mods to work)

@Crozarius make sure you're enabling the mod when you're creating the world. it's finicky but you have to activate it in game after downloading it from the workshop

Do you enable the mod (move it into the active list) when you generate the world?

Hi, I suspect I may be stupid and haven't done some critical step, but for some reason no matter how many worlds I generate I can't get Kobold civilisations to appear when selecting origin in Fortress mode. Any ideas?

@Dingus: It should work! I did all my testing on test branches, and nothing major has changed. I do plan on updating this mod again, but it'll be graphical and portrait stuff. (which includes fixing the missing weapon sprites!)

@LambdaFan: They are, but my mod isn't trying to be DF kobolds. They're more of my own style of D&D kobolds, the dragon-y kind.

Will this work with the recent adventure mode release? Or is there an update in the works? Thanks in advance :)

Aren't kobolds in DF supposed to be weird goblin creatures?

such a cool mod tysm <3333 love the agender kobolds :33

The weapon sprites aren't working :( does anyone know a fix?

i've been having display issues with weapon sprites since that update as well with no other mods aside from dfhack of course. In adventure mode if it makes any difference.
Take your time with the update i appreciate your mod, just confirming it's an issue currently for me as well is all

@Loucas: Are you using a mod that adds extra metals? The kobold sprites currently only support vanilla metals. Whenever I do the next update, I'm going to change the sprites to a new system that'll support modded materials.

I have had some sort of bug where kobolds are not showing their weapons when wielding them. Like the sprite doesnt show.

@Chiken: I don't know the specifics of how migration works, but I don't think temperature preference is a thing in civs. You could be cut off from your main civ, or you could somewhere too treacherous for any migrant waves outside the first couple.

@FluffyCactus: That might be a DF bug. Have you tried building their cage, or assigning them to a pasture?

Hey not sure if this is related to the mod but I bought a cave spider and cant let him out of his cage.

Migrants are only coming during the summer for me. Now that I think about it, it may be caused by being a in a cold area, do kobolds have a temperature preference for migration or is this a base game thing?

@Fæven: Thanks you! and thanks for pointing that out! I'll get that fixed, but I probably won't update for a while.

@ScrambieBambie: These kobolds are distinct from the vanilla kobolds, a whole separate creature. I'm guessing that mod modifies only vanilla kobolds, so there should be no conflict AFAIK. Only vanilla kobolds will get that mod's graphics, of course

Gay Kobolds ...haha
Does this conflict/override Cute Kobold sprites?

Nice mod!
DFHack found a typo in graphics_kobold_portrait.txt just FYI:

LAYER:NOSE_SCAR:INTROBOLD_PORTRAIT_BODYe:12:4]

you did a great job on the portraits, they fit right in!

Please keep supporting this mod, they're so cute!

@Confused Fox: I haven't tested it, but they should. Dwarves send trade caravans to kobolds, so the other way around should work too.

Will kobolds send caravans to me if I'm playing as dwarves?

I'm getting a bug where my new kobold characters are unable to move at any speed other than running- suggestions?

@BungerBalls: Don't worry! Mods don't touch existing saves at all, so they're perfectly safe if you're downloading new ones. You can only add mods to a world while you're creating it.

id love to try this out, but im a bit afraid that it might corrupt my current saves, but hey, you dont cook an omelete by putting a whole egg in a pan

no sir i was and am still using the most up-to-date version, mauls, great axes and two handers are all craftable for me, however. i am using DFHack and an 'all races playable' mod, but otherwise only have graphics mods installed, not sure what is causing it. i have since installed the 'vanilla two handed weapons (lite)' mod, though. which is working for me, and will work for anyone else in my situation if they stumble on this comment in the future i suppose
