DF Suggestions / Simple suggestion: Saving

« on: May 14, 2011, 11:48:03 am »

Currently, every time you select "Save Game", it closes the game.

Why not splitting the option? "Save game and continue" and "Save game and exit". No longer the need to return to the main menu every single time you want to save!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Cursed

« on: March 26, 2011, 03:54:05 pm »

I suspect Armok cursed me. I can't find a way to have FUN, and if i find it, my dwarves are lucky enough that no one gets a single bruise.

List of attempts

- Shooting ballistas in an high traffic corridor --> TOTAL MISS.
- Left bridge open to an ambush --> Soldiers killed them anyway.
- Left bridge open to an ambush, no soldiers --> a dwarf is stuck on other side of the river, safe from goblin and with plenty of water and food. Had to abandon
- Attacked the first caravan that come --> Elves, AKA no guards, and so nobody fighting back my soldiers. Plain boring.
- Attacked by steel scaled dragon --> 50 dwarves died... after a boring half hour real-time. And dragon got killed by toe hit.
-- A FB attacks as soon as the dragon dies --> Other 30 death and first fortress to crumble to death. But naturally i have to wait another hour...
- Duplicated RAWs --> Embarked as humans, every other thing was perfectely normal.
- Genned world with 30 megabeast caves and 40 semimegas --> nothing interesting.
- Caged a dwarf, wanting to sell it to caravan --> damned infections.
- Metallic FB --> Metallic FB's head + Metallic FB's mutilated corpse

After that list of fails... I'm building a temple to Armok, where i'll sacrifice all goblins, elves, and ~~kittens~~ useless dwarves i'll find!

DF Modding / Anvils from rock

« on: February 25, 2011, 09:53:39 am »

DOWNLOAD LINK

0.31.19: lot of new features but... too few metals. And even if you manage to find some metal on embark, your dwarven civilization usally doesn't have access to iron or steel, so you can't have an anvil to build a metalsmith's forge...

This mod solves this problem by simply adding a new reaction: it takes 20 rock boulder to the smelter and turn them into an iron anvil.

Why so many rocks? First, every fortress will have thousand of rocks, so this is not a problem. Second, hauling them will take a lot of time, so once you made your first anvil is more time-efficient to make them from bars. This will make this reaction an useful but slow way to make your first anvil!

Installation Instruction:

1. Drop the reaction_anvils file in the raw/objects folder.
2. If you don't have a modded entity_default file, drop the entity_default from the download to raw/objects and accept when you are asked to overwrite.
2.1. If you have modded entity_default, open it and paste the following token under [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] (and every other civ you want to give the reaction)

Code: [Select]

[PERMITTED_REACTION:ROCK_ANVIL]

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Oh. My. Armok.

« on: February 18, 2011, 03:15:09 pm »

Genned a few world for finding a cool embark... i guess i did it.

List of features:
-Floating Land and Water.
-Is that not enough for you?

Pic naturally:

And for everybody who wants it: save file. Just don't unpause if you aren't using a supercomputer! The entire map will cave in and FPS will be something like -100.

DFFD Link

Also, there is something that looks like cavern floor. At z-level 163.
Mods Used: only my Monster Hunter mod.

World Gen Parameters: used the "medium region" advanced parameters setting, with about 200 years of history and a minimum of 30 volcanoes (too lazy to pump magma up from the underground

)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / No iron at embark?

« on: February 18, 2011, 12:43:32 pm »

With the new version release, i found that dwarves can't access iron on embark.

For instance, on my last embark, my dwarven civilization have access only to copper. No iron or steel --> no anvils --> no metal production!.
And if dwarves, the kings of mining, don't have acces to steel, i don't think humans can bring me some anvils.

In an other world, dorfs with steel, copper, but still no iron (how the hell did the made the steel? i don't have a mod that add a steel ore

)

Another world... my dwarves have Pig Iron, but both steel and iron are absent. Only them.

Is this a new secret feature? A bug? Or i'm extreme unlucky?? I am the only one or there is somebody other than me in the same situation?

Guys, i like 0.31.19 fewer metals, but I need an anvil, and I don't want to spend 300 embark points for a steel one.
