DF Modding / Re: Glass Fort
« on: November 23, 2008, 11:48:43 am »
Most people who make glass use magma, I assume, so it was mostly a way to create a time investment to balance out the fact that you no longer need wood and that sand is, effectively, infinite.  I suppose 3 might be a bit much, but otherwise you can pump out glass bins somewhat ludicrously when there's magma nearby.  I suppose I could move it down to 2.

DF Modding / Glass Fort
« on: November 23, 2008, 11:29:04 am »
Using various glass-based reactions from the forums, plus a few creations of my own, you can do just about everything with glass now:  Make it into beds, bins, barrels, mechanisms!  Use it in place of hard-to-find flux!  And even fuse it with various metals to create powerful new tempered glass materials and the rare and valuable glass-adamant material, which can be used to make weapons, armor, and other metal crafts!  The matgloss and reaction additions, just for you:

Matgloss Metals:

NOTE:  For those of you too lazy to read the reactions before you plug them in, most of the reactions use blocks, except for the -adamant metals, which use raw [whatever] glass.  The reason for this is that most of the others are melting and shaping blocks of glass, whereas the making of the adamants involves threading raw glass crystal through the adamantine thread to create a single wafer.  Do remember this if you're planning to make crystal adamant so you don't accidentally make blocks, which will be useless for crystal-adamant wafers.

Yeah, this one definitely says Boatmurdered to me.  Or, well, how MOST of us play DF.

Oh I built a little empire
Out of, some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness,
now they're calling me your highness
And a world screams "Kiss me, son of God"

So?  What are they?

For me, it's sand and magma.  I neeeeeeeeeed my green glass.  Absolutely addicted to it in all its beautiful, beautiful forms, to the point of bringing a glassmaker and extra bags.

I'd prefer a savescum, honestly - we could let this go a while longer, it's been fun so far!

Right, I'm saying getting them to eat rocks, like they do in the fluff.  They should maybe also itemcorpse a type of rock, as I remember something about dead Gorons becoming rock formations.

Finally, anyone have any mod recommendations for me?

If you're looking for difficulty, Rysith's Orcs or Legendary Lands (or both!).  If you're looking for variety, the entire Modbase Cumulative Pack is good, as is modbase itself for packing all your mods neatly.  I also have a version of Age of Shadows I packed into Modbase format, for even more variety that way - Age of Shadows is fun.  There's also a variety of other, smaller mods that're good - it all depends on what you want.

Game needs to be harder, period.

Erm, mods?  ::)
I think that the difficulty of the vanilla game is good. It is newbie friendly. Once people are more experienced, they can modify the RAWs anytime, or just download some mods, like Captain's LL for example.

Mods aren't the answer to everything.

...Blasphemy.

Well, no...

I guess sometimes, the answer is "green glass serrated discs".

That's a really good idea...  I'll have to adopt it for my maps, since I refuse to settle anywhere without sand and a magma pipe.

*is addicted to green glass soooo much*

...They'll be joining my armies of Orcs.  If I can figure out the pet tags, I might make one great "Evil Empire" led by Orcs with all these other guys under their command, creating huge diverse armies of doom.

Zoras would be cool, though Gorons would be tough to pull off to fluff...  Wait, I've got it!  No cooks, yes furnace operator, generic "put stone in" reaction that comes out with...  Rock Sirloin, a high-quality meal.

I've played Kobolds with UTTERANCES still on.
So have I, but not with other races enabled and UTTERANCES on at the same time.  One or the other.

No, I've tried this too with a huge number of modded races.  Kobolds would generate and survive worldgen just fine - but they wouldn't be playable.  I think it has to do with [UTTERANCES], actually, because I played with that tag and it helped once, but yes - having tested, I used the exact same set of worldgen seeds and parameters two times, one with both Dwarves and Kobolds CIV_CONTROLLABLE, and once with just kobolds.

With the kob + dorf world, only dorfs were playable, but kobolds did gen.

With the kob only world, kobolds were playable again, and the exact same set of kobold/dwarf civs genned.  (the dwarfs, of course, were not playable).

I then tested on a larger scale, with four or five playable civs, and again, Kobs failed to show up.
