They still should be engraved to begin with.Oh, I know. My current fortress is going to be made entirely of cast obsidian and green glass, and I'm going to engrave every single surface (except floors submerged either in water or magma). Just because
So undorfy.
Not really. Magma will just destroy the floor engravings, anyway. I'm not sure about water, I'll have to test it.
You guys are terrible. Here it is, Skibiliano:imo, it shouldn't be anywhere near that obvious that it's a suicide vest. Personally I would prefer that there be no visible difference, but at least make the bomb not be half the thing..
Left to right:
Energized axe, normal axe
Low:
Armor vest, suicide vest.
Dimensions are always 32x32, and BG must always be filled with 255 alpha.
I've noticed something in my current fort. I'm going through a HELL of a lot of booze, really really fast. More than my last fort of this size, in fact.
The major difference is that this fort opens out onto a desert, while the other was in a nice damp grassland area.
Has anyone else noticed similar? Does the local climate really make dwarves thirstier, or am I seeing patterns that aren't there?
It could also be connected to mining skill. Smaller features might be missed by inexpert miners, and middle-grade ones wouldn't be able to notice them from as far away...Hmmm, I like this idea. It kind of bothers me that my leg+5 miner is totally clueless as to an underground river a few tiles behind the rock wall..

smelting IceYeah, that's a pretty stupid mod, oh well.
I'm pretty certain you cant use ice to make furniture. Also, it might melt inside your fortress, or not, I'm not 100% sure. Constructions are permenant regardless of wherever they are, hence why ice walls can channel magma.Hmmm, is there any way to change the files so that you can use ice to make furniture? I believe it wouldn't melt inside of my fortress, and if it does then that's fine. I guess engravings in ice will have to do if not.
One of my dwarves just made artifact steel chain mail, and I was wondering whether I should make one of my dwarves wear it over the high quality steel plate which I will be making now that I have a legendary armorsmith. The wiki says that the quality modifier of artifact items is unclear, so I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone feel that they may know?While I don't know the exact comparative value between mastercraft and artifact, I know it's better in someway from personal experience.
Zombie rot sucks for early players. Granted most players who can get the zombie mut are strong enough to go after the hyperimmune mut too, but still, anyone with low medic skill and low chemestry skill either has to get corp help or pay for it. Zombie rot sucks.Or, you know, update their clone, drop all their stuff in their hotel room, then go stand in a crowded area and hope their zombie kills someone.
Quite simple really. trees are actually the first stage in an elf's life cycle. once the young elf inside the tree gets old enough if there are enough elves around it will hatch leaving behind perfectly serviceable logs to use. so remember when you chop down a tree you kill an elf to! happy deforestation dayHmm, this makes a surprising amount of sense. A while back I recall a 10 year old elf that told me both of its parents died about 14 years prior to our meeting. I'll be sure to destroy every tree I can find from this point on.
