will pots mean i get less booze for the amount of food used as well?
also, how do i reserve barrels?

also the goblin leader thing explains a lot, i will try and rely on weapon traps more now. i am thinking about using glass serrated disks, in the previous version glass made bad weapons, but i heard its different now?

On the stockpiles screen,



The number of reserved barrels will be kept only for use in any reaction that requires barrels, like brewing. They wont be used to store food. You don't get less booze using pots instead, but they take up more space.

As for green glass disks, they're perfectly good at slashing through unarmoured parts, and goblins have enough of those to make them deadly. Even a fully-armoured goblin has a vulnerable throat that glass disks can cut.

ah, found it, cool. thanks for the tip!

i have several carpenters workshops making barrels, but i never seem to have any empty barrels for booze, i was wondering if its possible they are only partially filling up each barrel with stuff instead of leaving empty barrels?

also, i keep having this problem with goblin seiges and ambushes, were i will have a walled area around my fortress, which is completely underground (dig a downward stairway directly into the lower z plane). the only things up there inside the walls are farm plots. then i have a one square thick passageway leading out to the other side of the wall layered with 15 or so cage traps. well, the problem is that the goblins wont enter the passage way. some of them will, at first, but then the last half or so of them all just sit around, doing mostly nothing just outside the passage.

The problem with the initial attempt to get sprites was that I think adecoy95 forgot to change all the Dwarves in the job entries to what ever he put under [TITLE_PAGE] as [STANDARD:dwarf:0:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT] reverences the graphics file titled dwarf while [STANDARD:PONY:0:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT] references the graphics file titled pony.

your probably right, i had no idea i had to change those.

also, your sprites look really good

Bleh. Dunno what to think about today's episode, really, even after watching it twice and trying to think about it all day. I don't dislike it.... but I don't really like it either. There's nothing really wrong with it but there's nothing really to love either. It just seems... shallow. Flat. Like I'm watching an extremely good episode of the original series.

There wasn't much comedy and the heartwarming fell kinda flat due to feeling like I'm being bludgeoned with it. It would've worked better with some subtlety (facial expressions in season 2 are really over-expressive so far). The conflict just didn't really grab me, so of course the resolution didn't affect me either. Maybe it's because I wasn't really sympathetic to either of them.

It's weird; I don't know how to place it. All the other episodes in MLP I've had at least some strong opinion on (even if it's hate like for lesson zero or feeling pinkie keen). This one just feels incredibly average.

it was a pretty average episode, but i have to say, that rarity face at the end was a little creepy, and thats awesome. tho perhaps its just in my head and nobody else thought that?

how could i have forgotten there is a pony community here xD

the game is sometimes complicated for the sake of being complicated. but i suppose thats a feature hehe

so i am trying to designate what plants i want to grow in my farms (page up/page down) to select, but instead its moving the cursor diagonally around the screen. any ideas on how to fix it?
