DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Soldier toughening: Item Drop Training

Now THAT is interesting. So, lead is heavier, but in Dwarf Fortress it's also much softer and does less damage on impact. Makes sense why we can't normally make lead war hammers, then.
I'm pretty sure this is known but often ignored. When explaining the hierarchy of metals it's easier to say "only density matters" in blunt impact than to explain how it really works.
At one point, that was how it worked. It might still work like that for weapon-weapons...Quietust, Quietust, Quietust...

DF General Discussion / Re: The mandatory Vanilla mod: where is it?

1. They only reanimate every week or so. Unless it's a necromancer, in which case kill the necromancer.
2. There is no "wood," there's just "oak wood," "fungi wood," "ash wood," "glumprong wood," "wagon wood," etc. It's how DF is coded, and if a dwarf requires wagon wood you can knock over a wagon for it.

DF General Discussion / Re: multi tile creatures?
« on: October 04, 2012, 05:47:34 pm »
I think multi-tile creatures should approximate the shape of their symbol, as defined in their code. For instance, a 2x2 giant lion could have [SIZE:2:2:1] and [TILE:'I':'NONE:'L':'-'], making it one tile tall, and would look like
Code: [Select]
I
L-
Or something like that.

Wood can be surprisingly sharp. Also, elves' high speed and agility make them rather deadly...and Armok help you if you have anuncovered limb for them to chip the bone of...

How?
Check the raws.
entity_default. Search for "ethic." Somewhere in that block of text is one saying something like EAT_SENTIENT_KILLED and EAT_SENTIENT_OTHER. Change both to ACCEPTABLE.
Generate a new world.

Why would a planet of plutonium explode? Unless you rolled a 1...
TRY TO MAKE PLUTONIUM PLANET NOT EXPLODE
ROLL A 1
Erm, I already broke the world.

Besides, if you roll a 1 on your roll to roll a 1, you'd roll a 5.

All of the other voices controlling me are pansies.
Realize the "voices" are computer programs, built in to give you guidance when the government needs you to do their dirty work.
Realize that this information is being given by those "voices," and therefore is untrustworthy.
Realize that the voices are just giant, talking potatoes.
How are you?
Meh, i don't feel like a potato. Am i?
Hint: Portal 2.
I know, but I am a voice, but I don't feel like a potato :P
Must..break..chain…using..UPDATE!!
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope.
DAMN!
HELLS YES!
Behold! the quote pyramid! said to be built by the eskimos thousands of years ago and sent to egypt on helicopters!
Totally not aliens!
Bah, it was erected by muscle power, with wooden sledges and ropes to help. Back then, this island was all forested...I'm mixing monumental cultures, but who cares?

Agreed.
Also, chimps would be decent warriors and good hunters and herbalists; foocubi should be great traders and learn social skills well; moogles could be good at animal care and related skills; and what on Notearth are sekh dis'ii?

Alternate idea, the dwarves could export iron bars, a nd use the marble for building =D
Sounds good! I'll do this.

Could you add an ore to soils which occasionally appears in small clusters and is smelted into meteoric iron?
Also...cobalt? Maybe let kobolds use only cobalt?

I'm still a ghost! I posess the Phobos bits and make a new golem body
[3] You do, but collapse under your weight.

Type 'Gordon Freeman' into the laptop. WITH MY FACE!
[5-2] "Gordon Freakman." A mutant Gordon Ramsay appears, with a third arm and puce skin. Chell asks if he can play an instrument.

Animate self. If not possible, telepathically link to someone using the laptop and force them to type "Oribital Cannon Target Device and Launch Key" and press Create.
[2] Not possible. [3v3] No luck. Better luck next time.

GM Turn:
The xenomorphs remember their existence and [5,1] while Batxenomorph knocks out Spinal_Taper, the cybermorph explodes.
The band starts to summon another band member, [6] but Dr. Kong wakes up angrily, leaps to him feet, and breaks the dome. Two turns to death, fix the dome!
Tree-san sits still.

I'll join.
Do you mean "galactic dominance" or "intergalactic dominance," as in multiple galaxies, because if the latter holy carp that's a lot of FTL.

Locate unoccupied vehicle, artillery, or heavy weapon. Commandeer it. If none are available, locate one occupied by an enemy, kill him/her, and THEN commandeer it.

CONTINUE HUNTING AND TRYING TO RECRUIT CRITTERS TO THE PACK.
