The sound effect for this kind of magic is *WITTON*.

It's really the sort of thing that always happens in forts: the perfect storm of various abominations occurs, the overseer is incompetent but stubborn enough to try and keep the dwarves alive, and the fort's death is delayed for a few more overseer turns.

A paleontologist with some magic skills might work as a reasonable alternative. Just ask them to make a reconstruction of the fossil and voila!
Shameless self promotion: This is, in fact, what I'm trying to implement for Dwarf Fortress from Scratch.

Great. More psychic dreams about DF.

I would have minecart-shot her. Seriously, it's a frigging zink door. Why would you want that? Also, couldn't you have just expanded her office to reach beyond the door itself?

Creepy. The hair is especially well-done.

You'd need geomancers, not necromancers. Fossils aren't bones, they're basically plaster casts, only with rock instead of plaster.

Hmmm. Perhaps you could dump a large number of corpses all at once and use a triple airlock to release them one at a time?

Even funnier is if you throw Urist McUnlucky off a cliff onto *Urist McUnlucky Bone Spears*.

DF Suggestions / Re: 100% Sure That This Has Been Mentioned
« on: April 03, 2015, 10:00:18 am »
I don't want DF to featue guns by default, but considering that firearms are basically more powerful crossbows that use up gunpowder with bullets in place of bolts, they aren't that hard to mod in anyway. On the subject of that quote, I do kind of hope that Toady ends up adding a bit of nuclear physics to DF, to allow for stuff like the natural reactor in Gabon.

DF Modding / DFHack and buildings
« on: April 03, 2015, 09:22:59 am »
I want to make a mod for Rock Raiders, which is in a lot of ways a sort of Ur-DF: it's gameplay is simulation-esque, it features mining and incredibly stupid minions that like to walk over lava, etcetera etcetera. Now, there are two important features of Rock Raiders that I can't figure out how to duplicate using raw modification alone: RR's geology system and the power system.
Rock Raiders has a geologist profession and a geology station. Can a dfhack script be used to make the area around certain buildings and/or civ members become visible, even if unmined?
There's a power station in Rock Raiders. Can a dfhack script be used to "activate" a building only if it's connected to the power station via other buildings or directly?
Also, if one gives the "wagon" creature and the wagon pulling creatures the [FLIER] token, will those on board fall off of the "wagon" if it tries to fly?

For the sheer insanity and craziness, both that resulting from the game itself and that resulting from the community.

Probably the CDI:usage_hint. Cats are currently set to only use the interaction when they are under attack. I'm not sure what you

Not really from my fort, but to whoever had the were-tapir outbreak: I looked up tapir attacks and oh god they are terrifying.
