!!☼Slaves to Celestia, Goddess of the Sun: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma☼!!
ϟ Update 4.4: Shingeki no Pony ϟ


The mod had started as an attempt at expanding and enhancing the original MLP mod by Nidokoenig, and has since grown into what you see here.
A lot of the new features are inspired by works of MLP derivative fiction (such as Fallout: Equestria).

My Desolation Wiki (http://df-desolation.wikia.com/wiki/DF_Desolation_Wikia) has most of the relevant information. The differences are on this page. (http://df-desolation.wikia.com/wiki/FiM_Version)

It'll be some time before I start working on another new version. Here's some thoughts of it:

-A new playable entity. Crystal ponies come to mind (I read a fic where they used magic with their forehooves, and got inspired), and also this OC

It's a weapon sort of like a police baton, but having also a guarded hilt suitable for parrying or disarming swordsman.  Carried by samurai in situations where it would be inappropriate to have a sword, like on police duty or when guarding senior officials.

I was just asking if it was classed as a mace or a hammer honestly. I figured when i looked it up it was basically a fancy beating stick.

but I guess if you search-in-files the raws for jitte you'd find it very quickly.  Despite being blunt I would have made it dagger skill if I were designing it.

Silksteel is one of the best cutting metals, third after elementium/starmetal. You need tier 4 (megabeast/alicorn) chitin to make it.

Are the ponies with the tentacles on their heads(not sure what the name was) part of some fan fic, or are they your creation?
Title: Re: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.1: Dark Origins II
Post by: Splint on March 05, 2013, 02:24:31 pm
I'm assuming whole cloth for the mod. I had misinterpreted them when I first fought them in an older version of this mod as having a bunch of long tentacles coming out of their midsection to manipulate objects (because I only saw tentacle pony, and din't bother to look at its description.)

Honestly I'm half tempted to try and make my own version of the diomedians now that i think about it...

Post by: Splint on March 05, 2013, 03:15:13 pm
Well, not quite. My imagination basically made them subspecies of basic pony that had adapted to be more predatory and having either similarities or differences to thier surface cousins.

Spoiler:  How I had envisioned Diomedia's population/army at first because I never looked at thier descriptions the first time (click to show/hide)

Honestly this mod had a hoof... hand... whichever... In sparking this big narrative me and another guy are working on, spurred partly by these above assumptions. Kinda snowballed into involving a damn near global war, humans who've been hiding in ruins, and a mess of other things that would take a long time to explain...

Post by: Valikdu on March 29, 2013, 04:40:04 am
Well, I've gotten started.
The new entity will be comprised of several castes of Crystal Ponies (body size smaller than normal, dual-grasping with TK attached to front hooves) and lesser alicorns. Crystal Ponies will have a unique material/tissue set (skeletal structure comprised of a hard crystalline material). The same set will be used for several new large roamers, and there'll be reactions to process the crystal parts.

I'll make an effort to look into the existing set of farmed pants and probably get rid of some redundancies, in order to add someting crystal-y.

Ahem... Gentlemen.
*too lazy to find a picture*

The Crystal Empire creature is in progress. Currently:
-Several castes of gem ponies (Ruby, Sapphire, Amber, Emerald, Amethyst, Topaz) and the Demicorns.
-Gem ponies are relatively small, dwarf size (60), Demicorns are smaller than normal alicorns (130).
-Castes have specifically allocated attribute ranges and skill growths, due to the distribution of roles.
-Rubies and Sapphies are both physically formidable "combat" castes, and also both specialize in smithing. Rubies can also be stoneworkers, and Sapphires can be woorworkers
-Ambers are farmers
-Emeralds are rangers / marksponies and engineers
-Amethysts are more suited for noble positions (including doctors and managers)
-Topaz are craftsponies
-Demicorns can do anything

-Going to use this excellent idea about the assistant medic position, as well as the scribe position.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=124287.15

-There's a plant called the Changeling Fern. It grows for a long time (almost a year), but then it can be used to replicate gems. A reaction of pulped ferns with a gem produces a malleable gem mass which can be used to fashion gem furniture (or it can be just broken into more gems).

Going to go over the list of plants (vanilla and modded), see what's redundant and what more can be changed.
Title: Re: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.1: Dark Origins II
Post by: Valikdu on April 11, 2013, 04:44:21 am
-In progress with the reviewing of plants. Removed some redundancies, both cave and aboveground.

-The three gemvines are replaced by the Chromatic Vine. Slow-growing (more than half a season), valueable (with all the plant product types present). Chromatic cloth is treated into Gemcloth using obsidian and catalyst mushrooms.

-New idea: Advanced Distillery, a building that creates multi-component drinks.

I think it would imply a somewhat higher level of technology than the one in my version. I kinda don't see mass-produced bottled soft drinks here.

-I've edited the list of plants. Several, both surface and underground, were redundant. I've also tried to balance out the material values of different products; especially with Nido's custom plants.

-Several plants were made unfarmable (only available with herbalism), with high-value extract/drink.

-Crystal Berries. A surface plants that grows for a long time (more than 1 season), and can be processed into an ornamental gem. The gem can be further enhanced into a semi-precious and then precious one.

Use the advanced worldgen. I think many mods don't react well to the default one.

Also, nice avatar.

Also, I've just made up about 20 names and ingridients for alcohol (Adv. Distillery). I need some now, IRL.

Also, mead reactions have been moved to it. And the wax crafting reaction only makes figurines (1-3 per wax glob).

-Finished the Advanced Distillery. Reactions normally use 8 plant units (plus spices) to brew a pot (30) of the drink, or 4 for a barrel (15). Wide variety of drinks.
-Added hiveable silkworms. Processing the silk cocoons yields special silk cloth and boiled pupae (food).
-Added the Magic Loom [credit: Sorcerer]. It improves cloth with silver and gold, making it more valueable (and, in case of yarn, tougher). Special reactions for the silkworm silk. The gemcloth reaction was moved there. The building needs rainbow bars for construction.

Was distracted by things. Back to work.

Making new large roamers, starting with the feral crystal ponies. There's currently four distinct creatures; the first three being the more physically formidable crystal aspects (ruby, sapphire, emerald) with four castes apiece (normal m/f, mutant, abomination). The fourth creature has the mutant castes from the remaining aspects.

The plan is to make some more aspected crystal creatures (current vision: rock golems with crystalline base), and several aspect-less ones. The non-aspect crystal materials will yield less when processed (the yield is not yet decided).

And also, because of personal reasons, there's going to be a new source of cheap leather, meat, yarn and laughs.

The "stronger" aspects' mutants have exopart_endo or exo_endo layer templates with a crystal carapace, the "weaker" ones don't have a carapace.
Abomination castes are the same as before (skinless with nopain and prone_to_rage).

Will Crystal Ponies be a hostile race, or are we going to play as them? I hope its the latter as I want to have a megaproject spanning several reclaims of creating a self sufficient Crystal Empire to where I can lock it off on the final reclaim and 'Dissapear' for a decade then open up to trade for a year, then disappear, rinse repeat.

Pretty sure we can play as them.

On that note, is there any chance for the ability to "Sombrify" the fort? Easy conversion of regular crystal into a tough black one probably made with infusing IMP or Spectra into it?

I thought that the presence of creepy-looking Demicorns already does that. Although I may add an IMP reaction.

The roaming golems consist of an outer shell (made of a rock material) and a crystalline core (made of the same material as the crystal pony skeleton). The core is sensitive (less so than regular bone, but enough damage will disable the golem) and is also circulatory (slime). They also have heart-crystals inside the upper body and head.

Fluffy ponies will serve as a cheap and quickly-multiplying source of non-contaminated meat and other materials [although you need to butcher 2 fluffies to get enough leather to make an item]. Can't shear them (as they'd soon die from hypothermia), have to butcher to get yarn. The rare alicorn caste is a high-value pet (also, can actually be shorn).

[upd] And I've found a simple way around the crystal bone stack issue. As in, the one that was staring me in the face the entire time.
As in, to use [BUTCHER_SPECIAL:].
Of course, in this case, there won't be bone crafting done with these bones, but it's intended. These aren't bones, they're crystalsssss.
Now I can do many more things with the crystals.

Okay. If I don't wrap this version up soon, I don't know when it will happen. So, I will *try* to do it during the second May holidays.

I'll add some more crystal monsters, as well as the reactions to refine crystal tissues, and then start testing. The guns and custom demons will have to wait until the next version.

Post by: Valikdu on May 09, 2013, 11:59:05 am
There's two new crystal-themed large predator creatures (vertebrate and invertebrate), also a custom night-troll and a megabeast with spouse conversion.

The crystal processing reactions turn a number (25) of butchered crystal components (globs) into shards (special tools). They also turn golem flesh (5) into boulders and their heart-stones into rough gems.

Crystal shards can be shattered into 1-3 rough gems or used in a reaction to make Force Crystals. The reaction consumes 3 aspect gem shards (found in golems and crystal ponies) or 5 crystal shards (found in other creatures), as well as some catalyst caps and crystal berries.

Force crystals will come out in the form of bars (3). For now; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to make gauntlets for Anthroponies (and reaction-made gauntlets are unusable) out of them.

I think that's it for Version 2.1. I'll finish stuff up, check things and do some testing. The version will be out sometime next week, unless the squirrels come and take me away.

It will crash often if you use the default worldgen. I think it's a given for a lot of mods, not sure why.

With the advanced worldgen, it almost never crashes for me. Maybe 1 time out of 10.

Star Beasts have trapavoid. So, it's only possible if you can get a web-covered trap and lure a star beast onto it.

On worldgen: I haven't worked with it much, but my Small Islands profile (included with the mod) is customized for more minerals and volcanoes. I think it's got increased savagery, but decreasing it is just changing one variable.

...Replicated gem mass tools will not work with linked stockpiles. Simply because there's no option in the stockpiles to store tools that are made of gems.

So I'll have to retool the replicated gem reactions to skip the gem mass.

[upd] Implemented and tested. Now the basic crystal forge uses changeling fern pulp (1, 2 or 3 for different gem types) and a gem to make things.

Living crystals *should* skip this problem (as the material is defined as stone, not gem), will have to test that too.

[upd] Nope, they don't. Somehow. Had to create a whole lot of new inorganics (for the shards and gems separately) to accommodate living crystal and golem reactions. And now I need to start a new test fort.

[upd] Also, fixed the same problem for star beast and hakkari gems. Now they all can be stockpiled.

I've decided to do something with the chitin materials. Specifically, now all types of chitin now have [BUTCHER_SPECIAL:GLOB:NONE], and the organic refinery's reactions need a specific number of globs for a compound bar.
This was done because, in my test fort, I had killed only a few chitinous beasts and had stockpiles absolutely overflowing with chitinite because of all the lopped-off limbs (which had their chitin processed separately).

With this, and the previous fixes, I'll continue testing.

Sometimes just making shorter world gen history will alleviate that (Like instead of 248 go with 200 or 190 or something.) I have the same problem when I make the world gen for too long with mods.

You can't shear the fluffy ponies. In-universe, they'd die if you did that because of poor heat management. Have to butcher them to get the fur.
The alicorn version is actually shearable.

2.2 Development report #1:
-Got rid of the "any_land" biome in some of the mod creatures. For example, the timber wolves will appeear in forests only, and the various feral gem ponies are distributed somewhat evenly around the world.
-Tanning reaction will produce some (0-3) "leather scraps" tools, which are used to make recycled leather. Also, plant cloth can be boiled in oil to make fake leather.
-Flesh Trees.
-Fungal wood processing is now 2 steps. The first step produces fungal heartwood (and some food items) from raw wood, then there's the existing one to polish it with oil.

I will now fix the issue with stockpiling gem furniture.

The gem replication system has been modified!

First, I've made duplicate inorganic materials for all gems, which are actually stone. Items made from replicated gems will be stockpiled as stone items.
This also allowed to put the first step (repication of a large gem chunk that will be cut into an item / shattered and cut into gems) back in. The chunks will be stockpiled as stone tools.

Second, creating a gem item produces gem fragments (also technically stone tools for stockpiles). These can be combined to make special gems (which ones are made, depends on the quality of the fragments).

All gems can be replicated, with some exceptions (fel crystal, mana crystal, charged harmonic diamond).

-Four inorganic bonemold materials (one for each creature material strength tier) which are technically bone. Items made of them will be stored as 'bone', hopefully (we'll see how this tests out).
-Chunks (tools) of bonemold are formed from a pile of bone projectiles of the appropriate tier (still the only way to overcome the bone stack bug without screwing up thigns) using catalysts. Items (furniture, weapons, armor, projectile stacks) are made from these chunks.
-Bone flux can be made from tier-1 (1 flux) and tier-2 (2 flux) bonemold chunks.
-Bonemold can be enchanted to make a stronger variant. It's done by combining it with rainbow bars at an enchantment altar; for example, normal bonemold (tier 1) combines with dull rainbow (5:1) to become its enchanted version (material strength qualities are equal to iron).

The graveforge has been removed.

The bees have been modified!

-All existing hiveable insects are removed
-Replacing them are five species of Flutterwing, covering all land biomes
-Honey and Jelly are produced as globs instead of misc_liquid [Globs are stored in a fat stockpile!]
-Flutterwing hives will produce combs; some will produce jelly
-All combs will produce silk when processed
-All except Ice will produce wax; Ice produces crushed magical ice (a dye)
-All except Desert will produce honey
-Forest will produce special jelly, which will be used instead of oil in alternative wood polishing reactions to make more valuable wood
-Swamp and Desert will produce unique gems; Desert will produce more


I think that's everything for the new version. I'll make an effort to test it sometime soon, and then release.

Hey.

The next version is going to feature an update to the Rainbow Factory system, among other things.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-The Factory uses most of the body components now. The Extractors (there's four now, one for each spectra type) can consume meat, fat, spinal tissue, organs and horns/hooves. Bones are not useable, for now; probably won't be until the bug is gone.
-The extraction now produces a tool item and does not need jugs anymore. The items are processed at the rainbow smelter.
-Other parts that are usually just left in the refuse (cartilage, claws, teeth) can be put through a Grinder to make Rainbow Sludge, which has more some more uses.

-Cloth made from refined tree bark.
-Drinks made from milk.

Hey, that's pretty awesome. Less micromanagement for the damn jugs ;P
Just out of curiosity, though, will each pony body be able to produce much more spectra now? It sounds like that might be the case; unless you increase the amount of spectra needed to make rainbow bars it sounds like I can turn a stack of meat, organs and bones from a single dead pony into a ton of spectra (considering the sheer amount of organs any individual pony drops, it might be in the realm of one rainbow bar per pony, even).

For those of you who use raw ASCII graphics instead of tilests, you might be interested in a mod I made that changes the tiles of every sentient race to make them a bit more readable. It'll make every caste recognizable without the need to dig through descriptions and such; you can find it at DFFD (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8005).

EDIT:
Ah, hell. Do you know about the bug that stops creatures from growing after birth (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126924.msg4300391#msg4300391), Valikdu? I just now noticed that you haven't done anything to prevent it.

I'm still figuring out the amount of materials that will be needed. Maybe the output will get doubled or tripled.

Probably as a stand in for the type of bolts they're firing if they're using chu-ko-nu style repeaters. They're pretty underpowered but against poorly/unarmored enemies and in large numbers they can be deadly.

Title: 2.3 (Pegasus Device) development
Post by: Valikdu on October 20, 2013, 02:14:33 pm
Well, I think the next version is almost done. Will get to testing it when it is.

-Tree bark is processed into barkweave thread in the organic refinery. It can be altered further into soft or hard weave at the magic loom; the result is stockpiled as leather.
-The rainbow sludge will be stockpiled in the Misc. Liquid tab (same place where lye is).
-The sludge will be used in some of the existing reactions, like some of the Alchemy Lab ones.
-It will also be used to create various flavors of Rogue Stone [the tier 3 floral gem is now called "floral corundum"], when combined with spectral dust (which is a byproduct of processing spectral orbs; also, it's used to make the essence drinks now).
-Starmetal will now use four enchanted harmony diamonds instead of star gems (star beast aren't always there).
-Included the AutoButcher plugin for DFHack.

P.S.: I've been thinking about how actually adding the fluffy ponies was probably the dumbest thing I've ever done with the mod. They're out.

When I was playing vanilla,  I never try to train Giraffes...  cause I was using then for food.

So All those trained, war etc livestock are for testing the mod.

I still not tested for much time, but, all the workshops included and reactions are working right now? I get some "tainted" food, but most of some reactions use a lot of materials.

Sorry for any funky grammar, English is not my first language.

I've looked through the body detail plan that is used for the dogs. Nothing seems out of place.

Well, I think I'll just redo it (and the tissues and materials that are used in it) when I'll be writing the next version.

That ice spike is pretty much a compromise I think. A basic defensive spell for one purpose. Now a battlemage caste that can use a fire bolt to kill enemies on the other hand would probably be better, since you'd only rarely have battlemages roaming around and your unicorns working topside won't accidentally incinerate themselves and everything around them because an eagle passed by.

Going to finally download this and give it a whirl. Probably going to fail miserably at... Everything really because of all the changes. I probably won't even touch most of the new stuff for simplicity's sake; "who the hell needs that rainbow shit anyway when steel works just fine!" is probably going to be my MO until something made of steel retardant material shows up.

Oddly I wish I had somewhere to post another attempt at a community fort with this mod besides Bay12 (and has more than a handful of active people,) considering the massive flop the last one was on the audience front...

-Guns (yeah, I know...)

-The new faction is an unplayable sieger;
-Some reaction sets that seem to be ubiquitous in other major mods: a block factory, brewing from a specific plant, milling a specific plant;
-A new building: the biofuel refinery, as seen in the sadly defunct FoE mod;
-The taint crystal batteries that are used in the advanced workshop reactions are now rechargeable. All the reactions that use them now produce a depleted battery, which is charged using biofuel. Some of those reactions now require more than one battery.
-Looked over the process of building a star blaster. I'll look into normal guns next. Really.

If its not too much of a bother could some clarification be made in regards to the different races/castes and their abilities. At this point I cannot tell the difference a morphling/chimera/rainbow pony.

As a helpful suggestion could some of the more complex manufacturing processes be simplified/explained more clearly in the manual simply to prevent confusion between various intermediate materials/ingredients? Crystal this, crystal that, energized, not energized, it gets a little hard to follow.
Title: 2.4: A Murder of Crows - Report #3
Post by: Valikdu on March 10, 2014, 10:01:20 am
...I think you're correct.
I'll have to plan out an extended version of the manual, probably using presentations. I'll do it after I've finished with the content of the update.


Meanwile, the guns are here.
-Ranged weapons use one of the two sets of mechanics: the "Broken Arrow" rebalance for all the arrow-firing ones, and the Fallout Equestria mod mechanics;
-All bows and crossbows use Broken Arrow;
-Pistols are easily-obtained (need only a steel+ metal bar) and use FoE;
-Flechette launchers (BA) and slugthrowers (FoE) are magitek constructions, and require neltharite-gem-based components;
-Bayonets can be attached to crossbows, pistols, flechette launchers and slugthrowers;
-Star Blasters require a ton of rare materials.

Looking at the list of reactions to make all those... yeah, I'll need to make a presentation.

Post by: Valikdu on March 13, 2014, 07:02:40 am
I think the content for 2.4 is done. I'll have to test it out.

There's a new material called Synneplast, which is the end product of the Cloud Factory's [credit: Sorcerer] cycle. It's required for producing ammunition (for casings), and also can be used to produce furniture and goods. It's cheap and light.

The whole process of manufacturing guns and ammunition is kind of complex. Again, I'll have to make a more thorough readme for that.

The crystal batteries are now rechargeable. It's done at the tainted refinery; biofuel cans are consumed.

Minor detail: pony civilizations will now use a 'basic' bow or crossbow and an 'exotic' one. The new faction can freely use flechette launchers.

Is there any chance of making a plain ASCII version of this mod, so we can just change out the raws? It would really help those of us who either don’t use DFHack or play Dwarf Fortress on Mac or Linux.

Good to see this is still being updated! I've been playing the new version a lot-- or trying to. Still getting a lot of crashes when butchering.
Anyone else getting this? Any idea why it could be?

Post by: Valikdu on April 20, 2014, 10:49:36 am
The crashes with butchering *should* be gone.

In the last version, I've changed all the entity member creatures' body templates to "vanilla" style (as in, the materials and tissues belong to the particular creature, and not a generic creature). Entity members with "generic" materials were causing the crashes, I think.

In the last test, I've butchered all kinds of things without crashing. What are you trying to butcher?
Title: Re: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.4: A Murder of Crows
Post by: Sytel on April 20, 2014, 03:01:01 pm
Invaders, mostly. But sometimes it also happens with lesser ponies.
I have a save where it's seconds away from happening, if you'd like to see... not sure what would be the best way of getting it to you, but I could email it or maybe upload it to DFFD?
Title: Re: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.4: A Murder of Crows
Post by: Valikdu on April 20, 2014, 04:20:04 pm
DFFD, maybe?

*sigh* I'm not sure why it happens, now.
From what I've observed, the problematic tissues are the ones that are producing globs or meat on butchering.
If the creature is a member of an entity, and if the material is defined outiside in a generic creature, they'd sometimes (?) produce unstockpilable "*** muscle tissue", for example; even though the arena  butchering worked fine. As this isn't normal, I think it's what crashes the game.
The "vanilla DF way" is to have materials defined inside each creature, so I've switched back to that for the problematic tissues. I've butchered dozens of invaders and lesser ponies in the final 2.4 test, and got normal meat and no crashing.

The normal animal, pony, tainted pony, "dark voice", superior and alicorn body detail plans are all with local materials.

Thanks! Is there anything in here that actually requires DFhack? Thanks to crashing on WINE, this is pretty much a God-send.

I much prefer ASCII, and I’ll transfer the raws over to the Mac version of Dwarf Fortress. I’m probably going to start a community or succession fortress - the only extra mods will probably be that civilisations will build cities (wait, are there aquifers in this mod?) and roads, unless they happen to inhabit caves, which ensures they all appear in the game. Not that, like, that will be an issue once DF2014 is out but I don’t know when that is.

Also you have or had compressed saves turned off on the DFhack version. That caused a few jaw-drops before I realised why the saves were so huge.

The deal with aquifers is usually cities need to be built over them, so they can have wells.

Edit: I tried a new fortress with the ASCII version - the tiles came out quite messed up. This happens when transforming from Phoebus or the other sets back to ASCII.

Question: can you remember what "Dayentrance" was? As in, the source of all the "frozen creature substance" lying in the butcher shops. I've found only "Day" the named tyrapony.

Post by: Valikdu on April 25, 2014, 01:18:13 am
Okay, so it seems like your game hangs up when you butcher the horned zebra castes.

It's exactly those two castes, karkadann and abada. I've tried forbidding that one corpse which you're about to butcher; then other things, including zebras, were processed just fine - until it came to another horned zebra.

It's weird. I'll try looking into it, but what could possibly be wrong with their horns?...
Title: Re: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.4: A Murder of Crows

Title: Re: My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.4: A Murder of Crows
Post by: Valikdu on April 25, 2014, 01:36:21 am
Well, yeah. That's why I need to find out who "Dayentrance" was; there's no such name in the deceased list.

Freezing upon butchering *those two exact castes* doesn't make sense. I mean, if there is no problem with zebra hooves (there isn't), there shouldn't be any with horns, either. I think. They're the same in terms of special material tags and the use of tissues.

[up] oh, you meant wrong with the *horns*.
I've checked them just now. There should not be anything wrong there; also, in the arena, horned zebra corpses are butchered just fine.

Here's all the raws that are relevant to pony/zebra horns (including the ones that cause the crash in that save). I can't find anything wrong.

I'm afraid Dayentrance doesn't ring a bell. It didn't crash the game, whatever it was. For what it's worth, "frozen creature substance" turns up in a number of DF versions and variants.
Speaking of butchering, one other frustrating problem (by no means limited to this mod!) is that often something gets butchered down to a "partial skeleton", and then the dwarves/ponies/whatever keep trying to butcher that some more-- without success. It doesn't hang the game, but it does tie up butcher shops as worker after worker has a go at the partial skeleton, gives up, and returns it to the refuse pile only for the next worker to try. Frequent spam about "needs butcherable unrotten nearby item" is a common signal that this is happening. The only solution I've found is to go into the butcher shops while this is happening and manually forbid the partial skeleton.
Sorry for whining about this, since I know it's not your fault, but as long as we're on the topic...

Oh, and thanks for taking a look at the save : )

Post by: Valikdu on April 25, 2014, 04:15:55 pm
I've just checked my test fort, and found several unicorn - as in, 'normal' pony enetity member - horns in the refuse.
That caste has the exact same tissue template as the horned zebras do, so... well, the zebras *should* be working, too.

I'll try asking around to find why this could be happening. But for now, well... um, save before butchering any entity members? And if some creature/caste crashes the game, try to forbid the corpses of that caste in the future? Sorry I can't be of immediate help :/

The adventure mode problem was a crashing world, not the adventurer itself. Oh well.

I'm getting so many crashes it's getting difficult to play. Mostly it's from butchering random ponies, which makes no sense- but sometimes like right now it just crashes for the heck of it. I can't identify the reason why.

I could probably try and put something together. I know it's kind of hard to tell what goes what and where since the armor is named properly and all. Not too hard to figure out though.

May need to add castes that promote standing ground and fighting for everyone (or at least set up the personality things so that active soldiers are less likely to run outright,) especially hostile races. Enemy response so far is a tad lackluster in the vanilla game and the chimera and Diomedians don't strike me as the types to feel fear or tolerate cowardice respectively.

Title: [0.40.?] My Little Fortress 3.0: Death Magmatic
Post by: Valikdu on October 05, 2014, 10:40:15 am
While the fixed plants aren't there yet, I've been doing some... I dunno, let's call it "rebalance".

Fungal steel and dark iron aren't super-metals anymore; they're both slightly better than steel. The rating goes like this: steel - mithril - felsteel - fungal steel - dark iron. All of them are insufficient for the task of killing exoskeletal alicorns; fungal steel or dark iron blades should take care of the non-alicorn mythic beasts, however.

Mithril now has an ore called Star Silver. However, the chance of actually getting it our of the ore is low; you're more likely to get just plain silver, or slightly magical silver. If there's an excess of mithril for some reason, you can put it into your electrum or bronze.

I've also added the glazes, new options for making porcelain, and the lead crystal reaction from the Orichalcum mod.

I've also decided to rework the rainbow factory again. This time, the rainbows are actually like the rainbows in canon: they're normally liquids, instead of being metal bars.

What it does now:
-Body parts go into Extractors, as before;
-Extractors produce spectral orbs, as before, but the orbs are now color-coded; there's a probability to produce an orb of each type;
-Spectral orbs are liquefied at the Spectral Mixer (ex-Smelter), and liquid spectra is stored in jugs. There's a chance of producing a 'dead' rogue stone that can be 'energized' with rainbow sludge (the grinder works as before);
-Liquid spectra is mixed into rainbows, which are also liquid;
-Rainbows can be solidified using a synneplast chunk, in order to make furniture and other stuff at the Spectral Kiln (no fuel needed);
-Reactions that require rainbow (like producing enchanted bonemold, etc) will use liquid rainbow;
-Stockpiling: spectral orb material is under 'stone'; liquid spectra and rainbows are under 'misc liquid' (food); solidified rainbows are also 'stone'. Also, I've made Ether Orb material 'stone';
-Extractor and Grinder reactions use the Pressing labor, Mixer and Altar reactions use Alchemy; Kiln reactions use Alchemy (for treating synneplast with liquid rainbow) or Pottery (for forming things out of solid rainbow chunks).

I've also added Dark Iron nuggets as a mineral, found in small clusters inside iron (hematite, etc) veins. Saronite steel is now smelted from dark iron.

This is the version of the raws I've been testing, with a 40.14 game (and Phoebus, DFHack, Therapist). The plants are still the same plants from 0.34. Fruit from trees should be harvestable, I guess (I've added the ladder tool).

It's usually capable of generating a world on the 3rd of 4th attempt. Not sure why all the rejections happen; I've given outdoor and indoor farming to everyone, so they all should have food.

Loving the mods update- you've really outdone yourself! Please do not allow my attempts to bughunt to make me sound critical.

-Zone Plant Gathering is not resulting in any XP gain for the ponies doing it; unsure if this is a problem in Vanilla DF or not.

EDIT: Plant gathering doesn't seem to be gaining XP, period.

Attempting to build weapon traps or upright spear/spike traps cause: "Need Item" error message during placement?
 --Interesting enough, only occurs when no "trap components" are available; as long as a giant axe blade is available I can use spears/spikes as normal. Suspect DF bugginess.
Male Giraffe Bulwark is impossibly fast- he's basically teleporting around the map. And will soon find himself pastured over the volcano.

I think I must be doing something wrong  because I can't seem to start making rainbow bricks.

Right now I want to start using the renamed adamantine to make things but I'm not quite sure how to do it in this mod.

...so, about those plants. I think I'll be in the mood to make them and finish this release, soon-ish. I'll also update the readme when I do.


-For solid rainbow things (including bricks), you need to solidify a rainbow chunk (using a synneplast chunk from the cloud workshop, and a jar of liquid rainbow that you've mixed from spectra) and use it in the spectral kiln. I'm sure I've tested solid rainbow production, so this should work.

-The reaction for starmetal (adamantine) wafers has been moved to the Taint Refinery.

I'm glad you clipped ponies' wings. Thank you. It meant I didn't have to. The only suggestion I can make is, while they're clipped, increased the speed of the flying caste's movement speed, to their flight speed. That way with the wings being clipped, the ponies still have a massive speed boost, but without the cool pathing that causes weird errors.(Seriously I burrowed all the fliers inside in Sorcerer's mod, chopped down all the trees, and my alicorn still got caught in mid air once I removed the burrow so I could haul stuff inside, and even putting a floor under her didn't get her to land. She just dehydrated there, unable to path back out of the air to get a drink)

Looking at that I think it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to just go into the which ever creature RAW and edit the GAITS so that the flying speed matches the walking speed. They would basically be making the same changes as far as I understand it.

I think that if someone can figure out how to do what you showed then they should be able to make the same changes to other races if they find the RAW for the given race they want to change. Just go in and make the numbers match and leave everything else the way they found it.

Just keep the numbers in the line below and change the numbers in the line above to match, and you're done. Now they will walk at the speed they would normally fly.

It's not hard at all, no, but some people are very intimidated by the raws(Rightly so, considering messing up one line can break the game). If you don't have any modding experience it just looks like a whole bunch of gibberish and it's hard to pick one line out from the next, let alone know exactly what a line means.

Hell, I don't understand the new GAIT tag at all. I simply don't understand what all those numbers mean and why, I just know I want X set of numbers(flight numbers) in Y place(quadreped numbers).

In the grim darkness of the... yes, that's what it needs! TYRANIDS! And since it's My Little Pony, they'll be PONY TYRANIDS!!! And I did just that.

Found this in a 'what is the weirdest thing you've ever modded into the game' thread. Predates the original mod release by about a month. Thought it was pretty cool to see the kind of 'beginnings' of the mod.

What items are they exactly? What are you already wearing? Some items block other items from being worn, and if you wear too many items then you can also block items from being worn. A vanilla example:caps have the [SHAPED] token, Helens also have this, which means if you're wearing a cap you can't wear a heels or other caps. Or, mittens have a layer size of 15 or something i think, and gloves have a layer permit of 10 maybe, I'm not exactly sure, so if you wear mittens you can't wear gloves because the mittens are too big to put the gloves over.

Basically try taking all your clothes off first to make sure none of your clothes conflict.

...Alright, I've just had an inspiration. Endless night!
So, I'll have to make a lot of new mushroom plants to replace all the trees, which will no longer exist (except for the special ones, like the feather tree). And mushroom-trees are simpler, so it'll be less load for the CPU.

Also, I've changed things around with some of the alloys. The ones that required mithril now need star silver (and have less value); there's an alloy of dark iron and star silver called Twilight Steel (dark iron + star silver + taint crystals + coal). Creation of alloys that contain taint crystals or saronite (as well as the smelting of taintferrite, and saronite steel) now requires a Spirit Smelter building.

...Oh. So, it seems that the mushroom-capped trees are bugged as of now, and their trunk stops growing at level 1. And the cap does not generate wood.

Well. Until it's fixed, I'll have to comment out the caps. The surface will have about 20 shroom-trees for various biomes.

The inspiration doesn't let go of me.

-As there are only fungal trees in the world now, "normal" trees are gone (except for the feather trees and glumprongs, which are not processed but have an inherent value 10). Tainted wood is obtained only from creatures like timberwolves, of which there will be more.
-For convenience, butchered taintwood will be stored as 'globs' (fat stockpile), same as chitin. It is processed at the normal sawmill (the Taintwood Sawmill is gone)
-A new building, Ironbark Carpenter's Workshop, will be capable of turning taintwood logs into Ironbark using obsidian caps, and then into Steelbark using onyx spectra. Ironbark is halfway between iron and steel, Steelbark slightly superior to steel. You can make all kinds of things with them at this workshop, including weapons and armor.

-A special "tree", growing overground and underground, is the Living Adra Pillar (see Pillars of Eternity). There are also veins of adra in the ground, some of which are contaminated.
-The ex-Tainted Refinery (now Toxin Refinery) is responsible for processing contaminated adra veins. Malygite, neltharite and all the associated gems have been deprecated. Mithril creation is also deprecated, has anyone ever used it?
-The grinding of taint crystals and mixing of clay with the ground crystals has been moved to the Toxin Refinery from the Felglass furnace.
-The ex-Advanced Crystal Forge (now Adra Engineer) is responsible for processing pillar adra, and constructing arcane components using adra circuits (where previously various gems were used). Batteries are now also made there, using adra.
-Harmonic diamond reactions have been moved into a new building, the Adra Reaction Chamber. Creation of a harmonic diamond now uses adra.

-The amounts of catalysts used for most reactions has been re-examined.

In addition to the already-existing flesh trees, there are two more variations of these (covered in different kinds of skin); also, there are bone spikes (three kinds, taint/morphling/superior bone quality) and gem-caps (may produce gems when processing). All of these are rare, and have to be processed in the sawmill.

All the weird tree wood has the value of 0; it's better to be stockpiled separately from normal wood (which includes feather trees and prongs, which are not processed, but have a high value), so that it's not wasted by carpenters.

The new version is out! Get it here. (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11736) I've also updated the readme. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2s02snKCo9sTktETVRXV2pMTTA/view?usp=sharing)

To recap, I've made the following changes this time:
-All the normal trees have been replaced with giant fungal structures, as well as some stranger plants.
-Added more taintwood beasts, which are now opposed to life. Taintwood processing is done in the sawmill, and then the logs can be processed into magical ironbark at the Ironbark Carpenter shop.
-Deprecated Malygite and Neltharite. Instead, adra is used in the high-tech industries; it's encountered in the form of living pillars (on the surface and in caves) and befouled veins, which have to be processed in the high-tech workshops. Slight retooling of the high-tech workshops (the Advanced Crystal Forge is now Adra Engineer, the Taint Refinery is now Toxin Refinery).
-An additional high-tech workshop (Adra Reaction Chamber) for the harmonic diamond reactions.

Apparently, the .05 version of DF makes the gem gutting in the jeweler's workshop automated.

The mod uses rough gems a lot, so it's storngly recommended to use a linked stockpile for the jeweler's workshop, which would allow only the gems that you want cut, and another gem stockpile for all the other gems.


UPD: apparently, it's just me. Probably because I've moved my save from 04 to 05.

UPD2: no, it's DFHack. For some reason, the option to turn that plugin off doesn't show up for me in the work orders menu, even though it should; I'll update the download with the plugin turned off. If you're already playing, remove the "autogems" line from the dfhack.init-example.

So I've got a dark prince bard visiting that the tavern. So that's pretty cool. The caravans haven't spontaneously combusted yet either. It might be because I've been in the badlands, but I've been having trouble keeping up with drink production. I also don't quite understand how the crystal forge works, as I've got a few dead sapphire golems in my corpse bins, but cannot do anything to them.

*Edit*

I've also got a mix of six emperor and empress bards in my tavern now...

I've been told that the ethics code in the game is a bit broken right now, so that's why it happens. You can't butcher learners (like the golems) even if your entity's ethics allow it.

I've commented out all the learner tags from creatures that aren't entity members, megabeasts and animal ponies. The butchering can be done now: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11736 (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11736)

This will require a new world, though. If you like your current fort, there are other sources of crystal shards: Radiant Caps can be processed into them, and feral crystal ponies aren't learners (if your embark has any of these).

Sorry for my slow reaction time.

An update! Version 4.1 here. (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11736)

-I've made changes and fixes to creatures materials. Although I'd still recommend saving before you butcher a named creature or a part of one (this seems to behave erratically in DF 0.42).
-I've added a new semimegabeast. The Witch is a deadly opponent that uses magic and may only be killed with silver (including star silver and mithril) weapons.

I've also made flowcharts that should encompass most of the mod building activities: HERE (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2s02snKCo9sdEVieEFjdFY0alE&usp=sharing)

Post by: Valikdu on August 13, 2016, 10:54:37 am
Version 4.4 is live! It includes all the updates from the Desolation releases 1.4 and 1.5.

Improvements:
-Timber creatures (wolves, dryads, etc), as well as metal and rock ponies now leave tool items when they die. These are processed at the sawmill or the smelter.

-Added Cyan / Dusk glue reactions to the organic factory.
--Added Cyan / Dusk wood reactions to the sawmill, and Cyanleather reaction to the tanner.
--Added Cyanwood (mutant bone strength) / Duskwood (noble bronze strength) weapon/armor/furniture reactions to the craftspony workshop.

-Added two new large creatures (the Toothed Horrors) and one megabeast (the Queen of Many Teeth).
--Added reactions to the Organic Factory to process their bodies, and reactions to the Craftspony to make weapons and armor out of their teeth (equal-tier enchanted bonemold strength).

-Bonemold and ironwood production has been reworked.
--Individual reactions for each bonemold/plank type, allowing reactions to use multiple tool items correctly
--Appropriately, some reactions now use multiple molds/planks (similiar to the number of metal bars used for forging)
--Production of bonemold now requires 5 bones/chitin globs, as more molds are required overall

-Strange tree processing (flesh, bone, crystal) is rebalanced, as well; an ornamental gem has been added to crystal tree products

-Added Duskwood, produced by combining fungiwood logs with liquid dusk glue (requiring mutant bonemold, obsidian caps and crystal berries) at the sawmill. It is used similiarly to cyanwood (not except for the tooth-weapon reactions) and is similiar in strength to Noble Bronze.

-"Accelerated" clothing for playable entities


The link in the OP has been updated. The Desolation Wiki has also been updated.

Saw this, thought I'd give it a spin for kicks, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to remove the 'trees' since the Woodcutting labor is entirely missing. Poking about on your posts/the wiki I did see that I need a sawmill to process the 'wood' or something, but the place I ended up in (a swamp) has them absolutely everywhere and I was going to start off trying to clear some land, and can't figure out how.

Um.
When I've read about your problem, I've though that maybe I've accidentally removed wood cutting and/or carpentry jobs from some entities, but they're all present. I've generated a new world with the current version of the mod, and I can cut down the trees. Is it, like... missing from the actual unit's list of labors?

The sawmill is for increasing the value of wood and working with 'strange' wood types, btw. The carpenter shop still works as it always had.

Yeah the labor is missing entirely from them for some reason. This is using the straight download link on the first post for the 43.05 version. Just downloaded it and launched, didnt do anything else. Playing as regular ponies. Hard to tell what caste's I've got, but I've got at least two Alicorns I think, and at least one unicorn and pegasus.

Too bad there's no Phobos sprites for em, haha. Be easier to tell em apart, but oh well. Only ones Im sure of are the Alicorns since theyre an 'A'

Toady said that it should help, but I haven't tested it.  I'd be happy to know the answer though.

Based on his description of the problem, I imagine that flyers will still get stuck on top of buildings and in trees, but will figure out how to get down after time passes instead of just dying of dehydration.  Still a huge improvement, but it will be funny to see if pegasi try to climb down trees and fall instead of fly down like they should.

well, in order to get anything done, I have to adapt the mod to 44.10 first.
so I've done that.
I'll test the intermediary release (no 5.0, it just works for 44.10 and has the appropriate utilities) for a bit, release, then hopefully will work on 5.0 again.

[upd] I've put in a new version of the tileset, as well. The old one has stopped working properly due to new tiles appearing, I think (with the display cases and such). The "old" display cases have been deprecated from the mod.

I don't know how the thing that happened with the 44.10 version, happened. Maybe I've accidentally copied those files over when changing the tile set, and that's why my test world was fine?

I'd ask that... well... if something like that happens in the future, would somebody please write about it? Because I've literally just noticed it now. Um... Sorry, everyone.

Regardless, it's all fixed now. I've ported the mod over to 44.12.

The fix-sentient-butcher script is there, too. I'd like to see feedback on that, as well, while I figure out the Terror and Madness update.

I also have an idea for some things after that, but that's... well, the future. I'll try to get some work done while there's breathing room.

I've been productive.

-The fix-sentient-butcher script seems to be working alright, which gives us a lot of options. *insert insane anime grin here*

-Tweaked the new creatures (the ones that are done) some. They're quite lovely. Also, the new entity code (explicit addition of animals) is fun. I've went back to the Crows entity with it, as well.

-Currently undertaking a (yet another) large overhaul to the tissue material system.

Also, I remembered that the bone stack bug is fixed. Well, DUH. I've already been taking advantage of that, with bonemold, but I've remembered now that there's another thing: the bug had been what had forced me to make various butcherable materials (chitin, living crystals, etc) into globs, which you have to set up a separate FOOD stockpile for. That's not needed anymore. They can go with the bones now.

I think I'm done with applying the new material system to all the creatures. I can do something interesting from now on.

For now, new things that aren't the tissue system are:

It's time to apologize again, I guess.

After I'd posted last time, I'd then proceeded to be really stupid and do things that got me confined to bed for a couple weeks. Then I was distraught over having to do a Thanos on my Youtube channel (I needed to remove everything that could constitute as "duplication" in any shape or form, so half of everything is gone now).

I think I will finally, FINALLY, return to working. I've assembled some number of Interactions that I now need to spread across the creatures.

Here's an update for Dwarf Fortress v0.47.04: https://www.mediafire.com/file/40qnvhz77fsazl1/MLP-FIM_0.47.04_1.1.zip/file

It's in reduced-raw format used by Lazy Newb Pack graphics packs, so instead of replacing your /raw/objects/ folder with the version from the mod, you copy the modded files into the vanilla files.

Also, you can use a Lazy Newb Pack to install this. Just place it into the /LNP/mods/ or /LNP/graphics/ folder. You don't get the MLP graphics if you place it into the mods folder, but you don't get the LNP mod protections if you place it into the graphics folder. Imo, I would make a duplicate copy of the LNP and put this in the graphics folder. That way your vanilla saves don't get corrupted with FIM mod files, and you get the graphics, and you can have all your FIM saves together and separate from your vanilla saves.

It's supposed to do this automatically, but it must be kind of glitchy right now in alpha. So you might enter this into the DFHack window after loading your game:
Code: [Select]
twbt unit_transparency 1
Also there's graphics for the six that you can use for adventure mode. To chose your character on a per-save basis, after creating the world, open your /Dwarf Fortress/data/saves/regionx/raw/ folder. Then drag the "graphics_QS_ST_MJR_pony_adventurer" from the "choose your adventurer" subfolder of your choice into that save folder's "/raw/graphics/" folder, overwriting the original.

How do I make fuel? There's no Wood Furnace.

And the Metalsmith Forge says it needs fire-safe, non-economic item. I embarked with some Orthoclase, but that doesn't seem to be good enough.

I'm guessing I need a Spirit Smelter to get the metal out of the ore. What's Rainbow Blocks and Totems?

I embarked with no tools, planning to have my weaponsmith make some picks. But that didn't work out, so now it's outdoors fortress. My carpenter is working hard to make cages for defense while the rest of the team does combat training. Hopefully the caravans bring some good stuff like tools and maybe some weapons.

Furnaces are on their own key it seems. Dunno if vanilla's like that.

Metalsmith's Forge can be made outta something like just, rocks you find via digging a few z levels down. Few forts ago I had them made out of gabbro.

It'll be some time before I start working on another new version. Here's some thoughts of it:

-A new playable entity. Crystal ponies come to mind (I read a fic where they used magic with their forehooves, and got inspired), and also this OC
(https://i.imgur.com/LTCR4vH.jpg)
(the horn is actually not magical)
-Consequently, more crystal-related stuff. Plants, creatures.
-Custom demons
-Guns!

So are Crystal Ponies from the mod unrelated to the Crystal Empire ponies from the animated series?

Hi,
No matter what I do, no matter which version I use, the game crashes without warning whenever I try to butcher a crystal pony. This was a problem in previous versions, too.
I've tried the 47.05 update, the Mediafire version of 4.42, and several others. It's really too bad, because this is one of my favorite mods otherwise. Is there anything that can be done? I can upload saves where it's about to happen if anyone wants to see.

So, I've recently tried to get a hand back into this particular mod, and I've really wanted to adventure mode with it, to play as a shadowbolt, (I liked the idea of the blood sucking and the flying.) But unfortunately, and pretty reliably where ever I spawn and try to travel away from, food is always too cold, even warmed up at the campfire, despite myself plenty able to melt Ice at the same place, and drinking blood only helps out thirst, doesn't help that hunger. I don't think.. Anyone else have a fix for this? (I'm also new to manually fixing things in DF in general) Plus really weird and random blistering on my character at times. (New note, I've travelled some ways, and I bursted into flames)
