Update on the State of the Mod

Hey, everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? Just posting an update to say that I've finally gotten the Steam version of DF. Might be a while till I release a new version outright, but my plan is to do so eventually, maybe not with sprite art sadly but at least get it into a working state.

Thank you to anyone who's remembered my mod, and might still have interest in it moving forwards!

VERSION 0.3.3 RELEASED!

Another minor update.

- Fixes the missing stepladders token. Dunno what happened there honestly.
- Adds craft and merchant guild symbols to each normal team entity (IE RED or BLU).
- Adds a few more slang words to the Australian vocabulary.

If there are any other issues that need to be touched up feel free to report them!

I'll see about it, I'm not particularly familiar with IX's setting admittedly - next update for the pack will be a minor one, though I do already have a bigger one planned.

Thank for you considering them, and I'll keep my eye out for the upcoming updates! 

!!STATUS UPDATE!!

Hello all, sorry for being quite inactive in the past months. I've been relatively busy with school and a lot of my plans for the past year or so got dashed thanks to COVID so I have been scrambling to get everything that I can done. For now, I'm going to hold on any further updates in regards to Team Dwarftress 2 till the next full DF update (whenever that may be), and potentially start working on a mod based off of the Divinity series (emphasis on potentially). I wish you all the best of luck, and stay safe out there!

VERSION 0.3.1 RELEASED!

Long time no see my dudes! I'm happy to say that I'll be able to slowly but surely be able to work on the mod again thanks to quarantine, and what better way to kick it off then by updating it to the latest version?

New Features:
- All teams have gotten altars and dies as well as the new Spymaster position (just the Dungeon Master but without the animal managing part and can only be assigned to that team's Spies, the only team that doesn't have it is ZOM).
- Pootis birds: The first of a many neutral animal freaks you'll be able to encounter. They can be tamed and are counted as exotic with a pet value of 500. They don't have their miniguns or a Pootbird caste for now.
- 1 new hat based off of Gyro's hat from Part 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
- A few small fixes for some of the other freaks. The only ones that are really notable are the following:

• Magic Mann freaks now have the [POWER] token, allowing them to control civilizations. They also have the [SPREAD_EVIL_SPHERES_IF_RULER] token.
• Painis Cupcake freaks have been made a bit stronger thanks to the [NO_CONNECTIONS_FOR_MOVEMENT] token.

Hope you guys will enjoy this little update as the major stuff is getting worked on, I don't have an ETA for when it'll be released however so be please be patient! In the meantime, if you spot any errors or bugs feel free to message me about them and I'll have them fixed as soon as possible.

This might sound like a weird idea, but a Don't Starve themed civ.

You got all the tools, weapons, and armors from the game alongside castes based off of the characters from the game (a scientist caste based off of Wilson, a woodcutter caste based off of Woody, etc.)

VERSION 0.3.0 RELEASED!

Sorry for the wait, but here's the latest version of the mod!

I really wasn't entirely sure on how to make the Australians the most balanced thing on the planet, but I tried my best. Any recommendations on how to balance them a bit better would be appreciated!

New Features:
- Australians. With them comes their mining drill and Australium refinery buildings (Will explain them in further detail below).

The Australians are initially quite a bit more restricted in their weapon choices, having only fist based weaponry, hatchets, bows, and sniper rifles. As they grow they will be able to build the Australium Miner to drill for Australium and later the Australium Refinery so they can finally smelt Australium down into bars, as well as forge unique versions of some weapons and the Saxxy.

Physically, Australians are also much stronger and tougher then the normal Dwarf, Elf, Human, Goblin, whatever. Their punches and kicks being devastating, even to the armored soldier or the most trained footman. They also sport a caste called the 'descendant of Saxton Hale' who has even greater stats and will usually be the monarch of the Australian empire.

- Boxing kangaroos as war pets for the Australians.
- A version of English called Australian, kind of bare-bones right but I'll expand it over time. Currently it just replaces a few words with Aussie slang.

Sorry for not including the megabeast like I had planned, but I wanted to release the Aussies a bit early since I am going to be crammed with school work for a while. I'll be sure to do what modding work I can, cheers! 

Edit: Whoops! Almost waltzed off without explaining the two buildings! Couldn't let that slide so you go:

 Australium Miner
Is the main source of Australium for the Aussies. To create one you will need 10 of any building material and 1 drill head (a unique mining tool for the Aussies).
The Australium Miner has two different modes of drilling, both of which have their own up and downsides:

- Regular Drilling:
Costs 35 water, but only has a 60 percent chance of granting you 4 boulders of raw Australium.

- Deep Drilling:
Costs 80 water and 15 boulders of Coal, but has a 80 percent chance of granting you 6 boulders of raw Australium.

 Australium Refinery
A unique forge for the Australians that allows them to create Australium bars and unique weaponry for the Australians.

There are 3 different amounts of Australium bars that they can create at the workshop (1, 5, and 10), here's the cost rate:

One bar: Four raw Australium, three coal.
Five bars: Twenty raw Australium, fifteen coal.
Ten bars: Forty raw Australium, thirty coal.

The unique weapons they can forge include the Saxxy and Australium versions of the frying pan, eyelander, skullcutter, sniper rifle, and the huntsman (I know it doesn't exist but I wanted to make an upgraded version of the Huntsman just for them, you know?).

We got an update!

0.2: Miis got some vaguely Miitopia inspired weapons, and Piglin Beasts have been renamed to Hoglins!

Sweet!
