Bay 12 Games Forum

Na, mines unmodded.
Not sure how exactly we are supposed to submit these... But here's a link to mine, complete with the game files I used to do it.

Now for some pictures!

Toady, for future competitions like this I would suggest announcing them 2 months in advance to give 1.5 months to complete it rather than half a month like this one. Unmodded, I'm going to cut it somewhat close despite having almost nothing else to do for a week of the competition.

Baboonanza, Codesmith, cancles Hunt Thanksgiving Turkey: interrupted by carp.

According to his forum stats, he came to the site on Dec 4... Which suggests to me he may be in a DF burnout after constant play and coding the visualizer. We should see him again sometime before January if this is the case.

I think he may actually like this game as it is. The humor seems to fit his style perfectly.

Mouse wheel; but I think you will need 40d16 (link is on top of page) for it to work.

I can't really help ya with tilesets though... I personally use the 16x16 one which comes with the game. I find it easy enough to see, even with my 1680x1050 19'' monitor (pixels are about 15% smaller than the average 19'' resolution of 1440).

Skyrender... I think you may have misunderestimated my resolve.
Done with completely unmodded DF. And yes, that big hole it is in was completely dug out by me. Over 800 bars of soap so far. And I have probably well over 40 hours of straight DF time before the contest ends.

The two bottlenecks are animals and to a lesser extent trees. I made over 1000 lye before starting my major buchery, and there was a very visible radius around my fort entrace which was completely deforested, and this in on a map with the highest level of trees. I was down to only a handful of trees left in the corners. Since then, I more or less stopped lye production to let trees regrow. As for animals, it is best to keep a nice amount of cows, donkeys, mules, and horses, since they all have at least 4 fat/animal.

Out of my fort of 70, 35 will be idle when I have not construction/major hauling to do, with at least 2 of each workshop in the soapmaking chain; if not for the bottlenecks, I could easily be pumping out a few thousand bars of soap a year.

Here's an image of my excavation under and around a river for the soap tower competition.

We must wash away the filth of this release version and cleanse ourselves for the coming scourge (of save files)! The world shall be reborn annew with a new era of dwarves, reflecting the light with the power of a hundred mirrors (mirror sites that is)! Can a dwarf who is unclean enter into this new, glorious era? Nay! It is thus why we must cleanse the world with thousands of blocks of soap!
