Well, I suppose my lack of enthusiasm for continuing my in-character journal makes this death a serendipitous affair. There's always a silver lining when gobbos die, even if you're playing as them.

A re-gob as Ul-Naksh would be grand. Hopefully the name doesn't carry the curse of being vampire fodder.

I made a request for a turn a while ago, but I guess no-one noticed it

[Tehsapper]

Guess it would be nice if the next version is released soon, as it seems it fixes some problems with sentient beings ethics - like not being able to pit sentients.

[IEEE8oh2dot11]

This is looking awesome. I'd also like a turn! Although I'm not sure if I can speak proper gobbo, but I'll figure out something.

That thing did happen.

My guess is since your post was the last one on its page, and most people jump to the most recent page when checking threads, it got missed in the interim.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

I am back and can likely play a bit today, though Monday will probably have the bulk of my update. Hopefully, I should be done by Wednesday.

We have a confirmed vampire!

And as if all that evidence wasn't enough to make us suspicious about this guy...

This is Ngzebo, a humble soap maker

Goblin's can't make soap.

Ngzebo, your cover story sucks.

Hahaha, that's one of the times when a (technically) coincidental oddity (that is, skills show up even if they're unusable) can be part of a RP.

"Wait a second... you say you're a soap maker? We don't have any soap makers! A liar, a traitor! To the dungeons with you!"

I will regobbo you as soon as I get to my computer with the save on it.

If it's not, I'd be more than happy to collaborate on modifying this for a future playthrough what includes dwarf-chewing.

It's likely the lack of edible sapients is a bug in 42.0X rather than a modding error: I know I set the ethics tags correctly. Bad news is that this means I can't fix it now: good news is that it may yet be fixed in Thunderdoom itself by a DF patch.
         
As for the mod itself though, it does need improvements. I didn't stop messing with it when I started Thunderdoom: I have a list of changes for the next version.
         
* I acccidently left the Voracious Cave Crawler pet value at the value I was using for testing. Needs to be 10x what it currently is.
* Goblins should be able to make nestboxes, hives, jugs, stepladders, etc.
* I used wood because it's easier to get, but Impaled Corpses should really use menacing spikes instead. Maybe call the current building made with wood a "Mounted Corpse".
* Additional fun things to do with corpses: hang 'em, cage 'em, seat 'em, eat 'em, box 'em, burn 'em, wrap 'em, stack 'em.
* skull goblets should be named "creature skull goblet" rather than "creature bone goblet", and should be made directly from skulls rather than via totems. It should be possible to achieve this with a new organic material specifically for skulls, but I'm still playing around with this one.
* skull thrones. For obvious reasons.
* Increased stress vulnerability. I've been playing the game for a while now and they seem far too satisfied and happy for a camp of violent murderous psychopaths.
         
And possible additions include:
* Something to discourage too much mining. They're not dwarves, after all. The easiest way to do this would be to make some types of rock boil on release, and give the gas an inhaled syndrome. This is a pretty major gameplay change, though, so I'm not sure I want to add it.
* Something to do with gems. Currently goblins can't work gems, which means all you can do is trade them rough.

Couldn't you just not give goblins picks?

[DDDragoni]

Couldn't you just not give goblins picks?

What Quasar is going for is limited mining, enough to supply stone and ores, maybe a few rooms, and reach the caverns, not remove mining entirely.

[Shofet]

To be fair the goblins really don't do much mining in world generation. The underground roads are really the only evidence.

[QuQuasar]

I've uploaded a new version of the Goblins mod. Still doesn't include butcherable sapients (we'll need to look to the next version of the game to hopefully fix that), but I've gotten a few new things in there, including nest boxes, goblin noble positions, skull thrones and various ways to abuse corpses.

[Shofet]

Its tood bad you couldnt make a pick that only digs through certain materials. Like soil, gems and ores.

[Bearskie]

^ Kobold Camp does it by selectively labeling certain stones as [UNDIGGABLE].

[Shofet]

There's your fix.

[Sanctume]

Goblins should be able to mark stones as "latrines" and every full moon, the pissed on stone crumble like as if a miner dug it.
