« on: February 13, 2011, 03:12:26 pm »Not to be pedantic, but a granite boat can and will float if constructed properly. Remember your basic buoyancy, kids. If the boat is mostly hollow it will displace a greater volume than its granite material occupies. Thusly, it will float.
As for musical instruments made of stone, an ocarina can be carefully carved from stone and will sound just fine. Though different stone types will produce slightly different resonance and 'flavor' for the sound.
The boat was probably solid. Rock instruments do exist, I agree. But most aren't solid rock with nothing else... Besides, do dwarves even know HOW to play instruments?

I thought Toady wasn't planning on selling the game...?
I think the biggest thing that attracts people to donate is that he is constantly changing and updating, and giving out this wonder for free. I think that the day its published by a full publisher and sold on the shelves, it won't be as good as it was/is on the forums for free. We all look forward to the constant change and struggle, we persevere through bugs and glitches to find the funniest and best stories. I swear that sometimes this game is more alive than we even give credit to. We actively seek out the game, its not on a shelf for everyone to see. I feel like if it was mass produced and sold everywhere, it wouldn't have the respect or following that it has now.

Your first pic isn't popping up.
Either way, that's insane. How are zombie/skeletal creatures made, anyways? Just something that the game spawns using the RAWs?

Was making sure. I had business in another city, so I wasn't home for the beginning of the weekend.
Now that I am back, progress will continue!

(Sorry for thread necro)
Yes. I can try that, but it will be hard and it will kill my computer.

So! I am thinking about making a tower and carving out sand below it. I will build a ziggurat out of stone under a thin layer of sand (keeping the dark/underground tags). The dragon will reside in a hall within the underground ziggurat.

It will be hard to do underground because I have a lot of sand and the cavern is right below it... This will make it hard.

Will do. I still want ideas, though!! I am producing blocks and melting metals. (Carved a temporary fort and harvesting minerals).

"This allows you to control the number of babies+children in your fortress. The first number is an absolute cap on the number of babies+children. The second is a percentage of the current number of adults in your fortress (the default is the essentially meaningless 1000% here). The lower number is used as the cap. The cap only prevents further pregancies, so migrant children, multiple births and existing pregnancies from old saves can still push you over the cap. Setting either number to zero will disallow pregnancies in the fortress.
[BABY_CHILD_CAP:100:1000]"
from the init.txt.
Mod that line to change baby number and such.
