The other unmodified castes would still use their own orientation token setting, or the default if there was no token.

Adding to just one caste would effectively make that caste behave bisexually, with every interest in partnering up with anyone.

In effect, apply the heterosexual-only change in reverse.

To make the entire creature or just one caste of the creature behave exclusively homosexually, simply apply the token paired with the desired commitment-possible chances to the matching.

This can be an important addition for a certain Challenge Fortresses where having children from within the fortress is of vital importance, or simply to ensure that some farm animals (or cave monsters) are always able to reproduce. Adding the tokens beneath the token and beneath the token would effectively make each caste (and if only those two castes exist, the whole creature) behave exclusively heterosexually with no interest whatsoever toward the same sex, like they did in previous old versions.Any previously formed relationships in a currently running game world remain intact, however any new relationship interactions are informed by the new orientation settings for that creature caste. Any orientation change to that caste is then immediately effective upon reloading a saved game (if the save file raws were edited) or generating a new world (if the base game raws were edited). Each only needs one token to function correctly (and the game will indeed only use one per ). In order to correctly add a custom orientation to any creature, the token with its 4 arguments must be placed beneath at least one of the tokens of that creature. It is believed that this pair of default settings generates all populations (including animals) as 71.2% strictly heterosexual, 23.8% bisexual, 3.8% aromantic/asexual, and 1.2% strictly homosexual, though this includes preferences that do not lead to marriage.ДЇor more information about how modifying Dwarf Fortress files works, and specifically creature castes, view the Modding page and specifically the Modding#Creature_castes information. and for a caste which has the token under it.The orientation token is omitted from many of the creature definitions, and in its absence the game uses some default settings: If the dwarf rolls 'lover-possible' for each sex, then the dwarf is bisexual, but will never marry, and so on. If a given dwarf rolls 'disinterested' for the same sex, and 'commitment-possible' for the opposite sex, then that dwarf is strictly heterosexual, and is willing to become married. A one-time check is made for each creature to determine orientation, by 'rolling a die' once for each sex, against the total of the three chances for that sex. Orientation is controlled by the creature token, by default favouring heterosexuality as a majority.

Same-sex marriages can in fact happen, both in world-gen and in gameplay, albeit more rarely than opposite-sex marriages. Dwarves do not have to be of opposite sexes to be romantically involved or to get married. Orientation mediates how intelligent creatures are romantically attracted to one another.
