UPDATE.
Garphics for 32x32 and 16x16:

I've been toying around the raws and dfhack lately and been pondering different mods to make.

In the current version, stress has become like a new feature, and stress management has become imperative in every fortress. While your regular Urist McModder might just choose to reduce the STRESS_VULNERABILITY personality trait, us Obok McVisionaries have better ideas.

As syndromes can work as a fairly good thought injector for certain interactions, new options for stress relief should be endless, especially if one were to use modtools in dfhack among functions such as triggers from reactions and whatnot. So... I have been balling a few ideas for stress relief workshops, reactions, materials and animals, for a while. Some of them have already been done in mods, but no recent modular mod seem to exist that combines most of them.

Gambling, War-gaming, smoking, incense, pet-interactions, and much more.

Gambling
Reaction uses coin, returns coin, adds thrill thought to worker. (Modtools/reaction-trigger)

War-gaming
Trains tactician perhaps? Otherwise same as gambling. Uses figurines?

Smoking
Uses plants to give a positive thought to the Worker, reaction however creates smoke, giving surrounding dwarves negative thoughts. (Modtools/reaction-trigger)

Incense
Spread hippie incense in your tavern by burning plant resin in reaction. Creates smoke that injects dwarves with good thoughts. No dfhack needed?

Any other ideas? And are there any other mods that have any fun solutions worth mentioning?

Quickly mashed together a graphics set for gemset:

More are probably on their way...

Constructed tracks made from rough stone always shows up as being 0:0 black regardless of material, any idea why this is?

tracks constructed from anything else has the correct color of the material...

Make sure you use the [CAN_LEARN] or [INTELLIGENT] tag as well as the ones you stated.

Also while im not entirely sure, I think the tags [BENIGN], [GOOD] and [EVIL] has something to do with which civilization your creature can join.

Make a burrow for the dwarf with the strange mood, confining him or her to the workshop and the adamantine ore or wafer stockpile always works for me. That is, if you have designated a stockpile that is only for adamantine, otherwise the !!FORBID EVERYTHING!! method works fine, but is more tedious.

The only time I have actively tried to prevent an adamantine artifact being made, was when my weaponsmith, who had a preference for warhammers, demanded metal bars. though with strange moods, sometimes normal bars are not okay, rather they must have adamantine wafers. Needless to say, forbidding everything and designating a burrow (over my platinum stockpile) did not work, and now I sit here with a useless adamantine warhammer.

Atleast my hammerer will be happy *Winkerty wink*

Well, historically, contemporal saxons and norse were very similar, almost identical if you will, in both belief, equipment and tradition, they were also almost mutually intelligable to each other, or atleast to the south jutes.

Ofcourse, as this is !!VIKINGS!! one can not be too historical or chronistic in the first place. hehe

Anyway, ive uploaded the alpha of the old norse language file to the dwarven filedump in the minor mods selection, so you can get it there.

You might have to tweak it a little to get it working properly, like replacing "þ" with "th" or things alike.
