To make orichalcum, you shear the basilisks at the farmer's workshop once their horn is long (you see that in their profile screen). You will get a yellow refuse item (horn orichalcum) that, once stockpiled, will enable the job at the smelters.

Tentacle monsters are great, you can also milk them btw and either cook the slime or make soap without the need of lye. The next version of df will provide even more fun since they'll be able to attack with several tentacles at once.

You're welcome. I'll probably build a clean MW patch once I get familiar with the mod.

There is quite a few technical updates I can do now. Dfhack r4 is approaching release and that will make a few tricks obsolete. I will migrate those when a stable mac version will be posted.

I also want to use spawnunit for summoning, to create one summoned creature at a time, and no longer use soul wisps. The questions however is what will I do with soul wisps? Perhaps give them an use as a summon, or remove them?

I'll probably no longer need to transform the summoner too as effects can be instant. I'd like to keep that because it look great but what do you think of this?

So it's not happening because the lead developer suffers from crippling anxiety?

It's not happening because it's not his plan and he has no obligation to follow one's desires.

Extra limbs are not useful right now outside of being extras in case the first ones are cut. Your creatures only equip weapons in one hand and a shield in another. The shield does not even need to be on an etra arm.

I don't know if the extra arms allowed the extra weapons in one hand but they can only perform one attack at a time anyway. This will change at the next DF version.

Hrm good points I didn't think of. But as with anything in life success involves risks unfortunately, as every game with graphics ever made had to take that step, though after a decade of development on your own I can see not wanting to take that risk and change. Having said that hopefully once the game is feature complete as far as creatures/terrain types/things that use graphics he could find someone(multiple someone's maybe with a kickstart campaign) and setup a contract to finish what's in the game.

Once the game is feature complete I guess Toady will have to ask himself about what comes next and take care of branding and interface. But until then basing your revenue on donations is already a risk.

Getting someone to work on a problem he does not have is difficult. I hope that some room for external help on the front end will open in the future.

Not-edit : If it is our tileset slapped on voxels it should not hurt modding.

Ah too bad, thanks.

For the corrupted you need to use a lever and link it to the cages, then pull it.
