Build an improbability drive out of everything but yourself.And the chainsaw launcher. We need that if we ever find demons.
Why would caution be against the rules?How long until this is against the rules again?Don't move, you're still weak. Just stay silent and listen. Listen carefully.
Not wanting to leave you with bad news, I just have TopHat and the new guy. I'll do tho--no, no, no deadlines!
Eh... just changing it to the "Select one corner, select the other corner" changes nothing after you press enter. How could that possibly cause a problem with material selection?It's not a UI problem, it's a coding problem.
Once again, why do you guys feel the need to go around criticizing people's valid complaints and suggestions? How can you say that the current construction interface is not a pain in the ass?I could ask the same question of ukulele. Why must you criticise our complaints about your suggestion?
By the way, a quick search of "construction designations" on the suggestion forum turned up 3 topics in the last year, none of them having anything to do with this. So I guess he can get bitched at for posting a new topic, or for necroing a very old one, right? But you made some excellent quote trees. Not at all condescending. No sir.I have in fact posted some rebuttals to similar threads in the past. I case that doesn't convince you...
Oh, and while we're quoting the forum rules posted at the top:I'm doing my blunt best.
•New posters will not always follow the guidelines above, but if you aren't making an honest effort to be helpful, do not post.
Stop planning ahead with evolution, it doesn't do that! You certainly shouldn't use your plan to justify something you possibly shouldn't be doing in the first place.Actually, aside from the (useless at this size) circulatory system and the overly-complicated symbiotic stomach, this organism is primitive enough to give it a go.
I put those in due to having the organism evolve into something larger next turn. I am also attempting to create a symbiotic relationship between species that is so common in life, but not on the planet we are working on.
Each turn does take a while, but it'd take about as long to evolve the countermeasures as to evolve the creature.Each "turn" is over a multitude of years, so it would form some relationship like that over the years.Oh, for the love of--wait until the threat evolves before evolving new countermeasures.If Zanzetkuken makes his organism, fashion a prokaryote to produce a chemical toxic to it. Poison works by undermining integrity of tissue wall between stomach and heart. Then eat it when it dies.Counter by having the macrophages, those able to consume the poisonous prokayotes, attracted to useless-to-the-organism chemical byproducts in the 'spent' water.
The main issue would be the absolute chaos of a million Dwarves going about their own needs and nothing getting done in the game....Huh?
The end result would likely have a massive god list of init yes/no options, but when do we actually get to play a game that functions?We have a functioning game now. Very functional, for an alpha game.
