Bay 12 Games Forum

I know that the procedurally generated interactions and stuff are stored in the world's raws somewhere. This should include everthing from vampire curses to those mists that turn people into husks.

How would I use the interactions or whatever thusly generated to, say, make an alcohol that can turn people into vampires, or to allow adventurers in a destructive mood to transform into husks?

Shorter worldgens?

On a related note, I've seen that races with masks and helms but not caps or other hats will equip their citizens wih (metal) masks by default. What's the tag that tells the game that masks are, well, fair game for defaut civilians?

The issue isn't time, it's population. If you live alone and don't drive friends places, are you going to buy a minivan? No, a VW Beetle or something is enough, and cheaper, too. Wagonways sound like something resource- and time-consuming, and only really useful withl large loads of goods. Volumes of goods that large require a large population. Large populations take time to build up. Hence, they'd likely only appear later in worldgen.

Wait for the army arc. Any change now would be pointless, as it'll be rewritten then anyways.

Hehe, seeing as release 1(/9) of the caravan arc took... maybe a year?, I think we're looking at a fairly large chunk of time here.

That was an unusually big release. During it, DF went from being ~31% complete to ~33%. If every release of the Caravan Arc had that much stuff, it'd be about as much of the game as was released in the first...release...thingy. Point being, not all the releases will take that long, just the ones tha get sidetracked into other planned thingies.

You can create custom body parts with the [GRASP] tag, wich will wear all [ITEM_GLOVES] items. If they also have [STANCE], they will also wear all [ITEM_SHOES] items. Etc.

No, the craftsdwarf workshop is hardcoded. If you want a special building for making thatch, you can make a custom building and call it something else, though. I really don't use custom buildings all that much, but there's a tool somewere that'll help you get started. I think it's called the custom workshop workshop or something like that.

DF already has clouds in adventure mode, actually. you see them when you fast travel.

There's a few Fortress Mode clouds, too. They're hard to survive in, what with the whole huskifying thing. At first, that's what I thought the OP was talking about.

This makes less sense, but that might be due to my limited understanding of Cloud computing.
