Felius: It doesnt change the inorganics, but changes the amount of slag/bars you get when you smelt it. Yes, you still have "mineral bearing rock", but if you disable the ore processor, it is just as good as the refined pure ore.

From what I checked in the raws, and tested, it still produced a lot of slag and few bars. Smelted a single Gold Bearing Rock for a total result of 2 slag and a single gold bar. Similarly, it counted the percentage it counted as "ore of [metal]" was still quite reduced compared to the processed version. Not to mention the fact that from what I understood you can get multiple "ores" from each "ore bearing rock".

Finally got internet and (some) time back, and have a question: Was the grazing toggle button removed?

Yes, yes, we all know that capitalism is, in fact, flawed, including its defenders. It's also completely irrelevant in itself.

What is relevant is how Capitalism compares to the alternatives. So far, due to circumstances, human nature, logistical issues with centralized forms of organization, etc. capitalism is the best form, if with heavy adjustments to better fit the present social context. It'll continue to be so until technology develop enough for resources to be essentially non-scarce (it'll be always technically scarce, but at some point decreasing marginal utility means that more of the resource means so little it might as well be nothing).

Not to enter the issue that the term "capitalism" is far too broad, enough to be effectively meaningless. Capitalism might go from something Ayn Rand would think it's liberal to an incredibly heavily regulated nearly socialist society, which can lead to people debating from different premises. If someone means Swedish capitalism when the other means Rand's, it won't be much productive.

there was a text based browser game talked about on this forum, years ago. It sounded to me pretty much exactly like what you are talking about, complex wizard duels. I never played though and cant remember ther name to look it up. Maybe some old skooler here will remember it.

I think I remember it. Is this it: http://games.ravenblack.net ?

I've played it some 10 years ago (oh dear, I'm feeling my age...), it's actually pretty much the kind of games I was thinking about, even if I still hope to find more (and maybe newer) games.

Looks interesting.

Still would rather have the tetrahedrite though. Copper is the most basic weapon's grade metal, the one that you can always count to have around if nothing else useful.

The Weapon page needs to be updated. It still lists all kinds of bows as trade only, while the workshop page lists them as being built in the fletcher workshop. There might be other issues, but those are the ones I found so far.
