im pretty sure that something like planepacked can be recreated with DF companion. once a material has been used in the ingredients list replace it with something else. or i think thats how it goes.

You can get your dwarves to use more ingredients than they planned on using, but you can't control what they use them for. In the case of Planepacked, the dwarf decided to have a decoration for every item of history in the world, which required getting a different kind of stone for each bit of history. In the case of cheating by forbidding items, you're just adding generic decorations.

how?

Forbid the items as they're taken into the workshop. The dorf will continue grabbing stuff until you decide you have enough, then unforbid them. Whereupon he'll use them all in the artifact.

Only works on artifacts as they aren't cancelled like other jobs.

i made a fortress on top of some goblin towers one time, just so i could check out goblin architecture, and when i rendered the map in 3dwarf i noticed 2 things:

1) Stuff
2) there was a giant fucking pit about 2 z levels down

Oh, also, Unicorns would turn up in all biomes. And be perpetually furious.

Been there, done that, got the tshirt.

Gave Elephants the LARGE_PREDATOR and VERMINHUNTER tags while removing the BENIGN tag too, just for kicks.



If i recall, when a dorf eats something he gets happy based on how awesome it is; any dwarf eating this should, in theory, explode with ecstacy.

What's even more intersting is that she (yes I named a she Thor) has no lover/husband and "Is gaurded in relationships with others". Whether it's all by accident, or fate, I cannot say.

Considering she probably got that name by smashing goblin/orc skulls, the "Tender" part is in doubt. 

It's only her virginity that is tender.

If you embark somewhere with an underground pool and use reveal you can watch it drain.

Also if you pour water on it from several z levels above, it won't flood.

Wierd.

If you want to do any sort of advanced DF modding. You need to use Smelters. It's pretty much unresolvable.

I believe the next release will turn the Kitchen and certain other workshops into using a Smelter-like system, so you'll be able to do more without the Smelter then.


And you can indeed have different combinations of items result in different things; i believe it's possible to tell the Smelter to use different kinds of items together, so you can create one reaction that uses item A, B and C and outputs weapon X, while a different reaction uses item A, B and D, and outputs weapon Y.

What makes them enter the room?
What are they in there for?  Is that a well I see in the middle?
It's not an artifact well, is it? o-o;;

It's a Zoo, they head in there to check out the animals while they're on break.
