I posted the lua file and instructions for its use.

Link?  Or hint?  I can't seem to find it. 

Well, truly dropping a house on her would have been more fitting to the title, but a 3x2 drawbridge is probably just as flattening.   

I'm trying to modify the dwarfexport plugin to DFHack to also write preference and family data. Or maybe I'll do something with lua? Either way, it'll make it much easier to collaborate and collect data.

For now, if people could keep their saves that would be ideal. That way I won't have to manually type up everyone's screenshots.

That would be great!  It would make collecting geneaological data on a fortress so much easier.  Could it also collect the appearance data?

I'll keep the saves from this fortress specifically for this study.  Fortress Tradescorched on The Planet of Dawn, under 34.11.

Edit: In the year 280.

Sure, and I will add hair color also.  It may take me a bit.  It's almost time to eat, here. 

Edit:  I've done jpg files of the descriptions of two of the families.  Let me know if any of the others interest you especially.  It's rather a grind making these files.   

Edit#2: Four more done.  Going to rest before tackling McBooze. 

Edit#3: Ta-da!  I did not do the ones that had no surprises in eye color, nor, obviously, any McAdams.

I felt that way about "Cryptwind", which was built on a site partially subject to rains that dissolved internal organs.  Many slabs were built in that fortress, for migrants who never made it across the map.  Such an appropriate name doesn't often come along.   

Here is the man himself on the topic, in 2006.  It's the oldest mention I could find of melt yields, although one of the posts in this thread implies that there was an older post by him.

Yeah, it works in fractions.  There are no random calls within the procedure.  A goblet should produce 20% of a bar.  Each smelter stores the fractions separately by material.

As goblet size was said to be 2, this would have implied 1/10th bar per item-size to the readers.

By 2008, the 1/10th bar per item-size was apparently already in the DFWiki.

I usually use the RNG until I get names that both appeal to me and that do not contain special characters.  The latter is so that I can type the Dwarven version if I want to do so.  Very occasionally I have entered names that fit a specific theme, but these have usually worked out so poorly that I don't bother with that anymore.  Also, the vocabulary is too limited for most of the names that I have wanted to use.

Wooden training axes cut trees in 34.x also, but if you play a version after the clothing requirement was introduced you are going to have to either farm or raise animals.  There won't be enough leather from hunting to clothe everyone.  Also, I am uncertain what the status is these days on fishing and hunting, but I don't think you can live on just those as food supplies.  Nor might you have enough bone crafts to trade for food, leather, and cloth without animals domesticated.  I guess you could allow the eating of sentients and live on dead goblins.  Cannibal tribe!
