I would like the new system a lot more if the dwarves went to the stockpiles a bunch earlier so they don't become starving/dehydrated by the time they get there.

05/08/2010: The original game seems to be working fine after all the merge changes, but I still need to iron out some bugs that come up after the code is put into place with the SDL stuff. If I'm lucky it'll be up tomorrow, but it'll depend on the fixes.
why that SDL (40d) stuff is so important?
what is it?
Speed boost, .png graphics support, much simplified Mac/Linux porting, several other things.
Its most definitely worth the wait.

« on: May 08, 2010, 12:51:31 pm »
As I said before, it's the same computer as before, only I changed from vista to windows 7, plus df2010 has two threads, one for graphics and one for the game. If I'm not mistaken...
I thought the 40D# had the two threads, not 0.31 .

Dwarf Fortress:  Insanity is a privilege, a bonus you have to EARN!
Fixed
You honestly think that insanity is less common than sanity?  Look me in the eye and tell me that.  While keeping a straight face.  :D
Insanity is less common. :|
How would a sane person get here in the first place..?
By Bridgeapult, of course.

interesting. my metalsmith, who has "is incredibly strong" in her description, went Extremely slow when hauling the slade over to the other smelter that had the smelt ore job, but seemed to go at normal speed when carrying the -sladite pick- (100 weight). she was a bit slow compared to a second novice miner who had a copper pick, though.

Looks like he's holding a rock in his right hand.
He must've been an Adventurer. who else would keep a rock instead of storing it?

"what would a typical dwarven pioneer expedition actually DO, and how would they go about doing it?"
Really, what would they do if we weren't there? (Ignore what actually happens in the game if you start a new fort then just leave it unpaused, we already know that.)

Well, since no one has said it yet:

Losing Is Fun!

I was really hoping for the graphics merge today so I could play with your tile set all weekend :(
Also was I, even though only today heard of it was.

Blarg, i modded slade armor into fortress mode in DF, but my fortress is nothing but pansies too weak to wear the stuff!

26472
no, i didn't change slade the HFS rock,just added the ore, so its most likely still unminable.
i could rename the rock if you want, i just need a name for it.

Why make it mineable when you can make it...growable!

Though, honestly, that's just me being silly, growable metal is my own personal madness.  You could always make it a smelter reaction.  Put 100 random stones it, get one ultra usable stone.
I already use a smelter reaction (i should have put that in the post, shouldn't I?). I used one of Shaoshoul's reactions from the first page, but renamed to fit with the naming style I use with the rest of the custom smelter reactions I have.

Specifically, I used this:
Code: [Select]
[REACTION:FREE_SLADE]
[NAME:Slade!]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:SLADE]
[SKILL:DETAILSTONE]
The skill could be changed i guess, i just like getting experienced engravers without have to deal with the bad engravings ;D , so they make various colored rocks, bauxite, and now slade until they're decent.

combining dozens of rocks though, could be used as a plausible explaination for why the stuff is so dang heavy..

EDIT:not every dwarf can wear Sladite armorclothes (they're pretty much the same if you're using sladite, so no use seperating the two). Make sure that your chosen dwarf is quite strong (or whatever the new stat for "can carry very heavy armor" is), because while it would be a good idea to put the weaklings in sladite armorclothes to protect them, it would be like carrying several very large boulders on top of yourself: not very productive.

Huzzah! Sladite! (didn't want to call the metal Slade just in case it caused a problem)

[MOLAR_MASS] borrowed from lead, [MAX_EDGE] borrowed from adamantine.

Spoiler: Sladite! (click to show/hide)


Spoiler: Sladite Bars (click to show/hide)

Info: a sladite shield weighs only 2Γ, a short sword weighs 60Γ, both sladite crossbows and sladite war hammers weigh 80Γ, a battle axe weighs 160Γ, a stack of 25 sladite bolts weighs 250Γ, a breastplate weighs 442, and a sladite cloak is probably the most ridiculous thing a dwarf can wear, it weighs 662Γ. you can find out the rest if you want.
