I am planning on making a custom material (at least two different variants invisible to the player) to be the best metal in game. I want it to be incredibly powerful and basically unbreakable. It should be incredibly light weight for armor (to lower encumbrance) and incredibly heavy for crushing weapons (for damage output). What are the most important material tags for armor, slashing weapons, piercing weapons, crushing weapons and ranged weapons? What tags should I set to incredibly high/low numbers?
Current game have adamantine and slade as two grotesque powerful materials. Why you try make better?
I understand this imbalance alone doesn't create a problem, but it does show a preference for negative emotions in the system and a lack of positive emotions to make up for the bad experiences.
Hello as a newb here is what frustrated me, still frustrate me in no particular order:
- sound / music as well, you cannot expect noob to use soundsense.
A tutorial is badly needed. You're dropped into the game with a cluttered menu, no direction, and no idea how to even dig.
Multiple lovers fundamentally mean nothing whilst the ability of dwarfs to even make friends is basically broken. (Maybe a curiosity or two from arriving immigrants.) Sorry but new features are pointless when the base that they need to work is itself pragmatically non-functional (barring exploits). To me it just shows a lack of awareness regarding the state of the game on Toady's part.
Closing the drawbridge stops everyone in their tracks *even if they can't see the drawbridge*. What this tells me is that every entity on the map is path finding *on every tick*.
