I think you might trigger the Age of the *Creature name here* if you killed off all the other major powers present in the world.
Then whatever is left will rule the world! Until you find it and kill it of course.

Then it's probably to Golden Age.
Maybe Fairy Tales. Can't remember how the ages work again.

I hope though that at some point we'll get some more variety to 'em.
Every world I gen always finishes at Age of Myth. Legends and Heroes is hard to get when I crank the Titan numbers to the MAX because of the fun they provide.

To the coke&charcoal thing: No, they're not.

Anyway, while too late here's what I have. It MIGHT be that the guy was gathering all that cloth due to the fuckery with being in a wrong burrow. So anyway, if he suddenly stopped to gather anything, maybe it wasn't the rock that was messing him up, but he wanted some different type of cloth. Did you have any yarn cloth or thread?

What's under the slade?
Now that's easy.

The bottom of your computer.

Few know the horrible TRUE origin of "inspiration" that Toady had which resulted in Dwarf Fortress being made and even fewer have survived to see what happens when the feeble barrier between our world and theirs is broken.

"Why is it that despite our mastery of steel, mechanisms and conquering many regions of the underground, we still make gauntlets that leave fingers exposed and boots with toes exposed?"

Philosophers tend to be mostly harmless, until they get struck with enough grief to start thinking too much about how dwarven mechanisms work by connecting two objects with two mechanisms and it works just as well whether they're close to or far from eachother.

Then they go insane.

Oh look, I'm posting in this thread again.
IS IT A NEW VERSION? Hell no, completely the opposite actually.

I deleted my DFFD file for this. Why?

Well today I decided that before I get started on studying for upcoming tests, I should check on something that's been bugging me for a while. Random looks to the Legends file that I tend to do have caused MYSTERY CRASHES. First I figured it was some entity creature causing issues, so I tried sorting those out. Edited this and that around some of 'em, and finally I got a world to gen to 150 years and with Legends that didn't have a crash when I quick-browsed to the end of the list.

Annnd of course soon after I threw all the entities back to do ONE MORE TEST, it crashed again. Damn it, oh well time to sort out again right?

Well with just the Adventurers I noticed that there was still a crash issue. So I have come to the conclusion that it might not be the entity creatures at all, but some of the mod's wildlife, probably some creature that's taking a lair and starting to mess about and then causing a crash because fuck-if-I-know-why.

So for the time being I'm taking the mod down because if there's one thing I don't like, it's making a mod that may have an issue with a wild creature that MIGHT even pop up during Fort Mode and cause the whole god damn thing to crash.

Once school ends and summer vacation starts, I'll be tackling the entire mod and doing some proper mod creature messing about. Probably make the mod creatures more specific txt files than 2 files where every single fucking one of them is thrown. Should help me pinpoint the problem anyway. Hopefully.

I figured that I could go for some extra insanity too and try out vBase, that looks like a decent way of doing stuff with creature variation and shit. Maybe it would even make the mod a tad better, WHO KNOWS, I don't, I haven't looked into it too much yet and how it'll affect the creatures.

But yeah. I suspect it'll take at least two weeks before I start work on this and probably two more for me to finish work on all the creatures again. Sorting them out isn't going to be a problem, but finding what the hell among them is being stupid, now that might be a challenge.

I'm sure it's going to be something painfully obvious, but whatever man.
I'll try to get this up and running in a month or so. Maybe sooner, depends how much work I got ahead due to summer and farmwork and yeah, you know what I mean.

If you REALLY have that much trouble with not finding the "closer-to-ground" flux layers, why not just remove the need for flux stones from pig iron and steel reactions?

Then you could be KING OF THE WORLD, anywhere you ever want!

But yeah, even if all else fails, marble layers can usually be found deep underground.
Not always though. I can't remember enough geology to think of if there's some indicative stone layer that hints towards marble on what you get on the layer info prior to embark.

Even if the big horrible monster about to kill you all is ridiculously huge, you can kill it easily if you drop a solid piece of rock on it. Encased in obsidian or ice works just as well too, because in the world of DF water flash-freezes instead of gradually getting an icecover.
