Amazing suggestions, terrible names (IMHO). Thank you .

[Deon]

Okay, so I had some free time this morning before work.

Genesis 4.9

- Renamed pastry shop to culinary shop.
- Moved fat rendering from kitchen to culinary shop.
- Moved baking and candy making reactions to culinary shop.
- Added mead cakes and mead candies to culinary shop.
- Added sausage making to the culinary shop (uses meat and intestines).
- Evil areas: added gray cairns and void stalks, pillar-looking trees.
- Evil areas: added drear husks, unedible but brewable plant.
- Evil areas: added lost souls, flying biting heads.
- Evil areas: added tar hog, chitinous boar-like creature.
- Evil areas: added mimics, skinless apes which can blend into surroundings.
- Evil areas: added soul sparks, mostly harmless flying balls of light.

It may look weird that I work with some fancy cooking reactions without expanding alchemy/metal industry first, but I have a few interesting systems which I need to flesh out, test and think through before adding in. It will come soon enough, I promise.

why are the elephants jumping oh god

Seriously though, you're working quite fast. Keep it up!
I actually managed to run a test fort yesterday (4.8.), but for some reason DF hangs when the merchants unloads on the depot. Is it just me or did anyone got the same problem?

[Deon]

Can you share the save before that? It could be some error DF does not output in errorlog.txt, and a save would be good to have.

[Ebullient]

Sadly, I deleted it. Ran another test fort though, still on the same version, so if I encounter that again I'll notify you on that.

[Deon]

Okay, my merchants were fine. If it doesn't crash when they arrive, it's unlikely a material problem. It could be some DF bug after all.

I am working on a new system right now. If I go to bed late today, I may release it. It will allow you to have demons guarding your fort, as well as chosen of Armok and berserkers. And some other fun stuff too, like flesh golems and rock constructs.

do white dragons give ice magic secrets?
If not they should...

Or healing secrets. Y'know, White Magic. That might be even more dangerous/useful than an offensive syndrome.

[Deon]

Now the promised religion tech tree is showing its ugly face. The dark worship path has been opened. Next will be war and rock shrines, and eventually nature shrine.


4.10
- Added tweaked scorpions to deserts.
- Added "sand kings" semimegabeast scorpions.
- Added three new demons: hell hound (three headed firebreathing dog), bebilith (magmaimmune firebreathing spider) and pit fiend (winged horned humanoid with a scorpion tail who can hurl multiple fireballs and is just badass).
- Added dark summoning tech tree:
-- Dark shrine, requires 12 obsidian blocks and 4 obsidian statues.
--- "Pray to depths", low chance to get obsidian tablet, minimal chance to get black diamond or become a demon, a husk or a maniac.

--- "Sell Soul", 90% chance to become a husk, 100% chance to get a black diamond.

--- Summon pit fiend, costs 15 black diamonds.

They currently give out eldritch secrets, which make people wizards.

Frost magic won't actually work. The user will freeze himself before he does anything to the enemy. White dragons are immune to cold in their materials, that's why they can use it.

[Sprin]

cant make ice wizards have the same thing?

How a bout a cat-sized Ice Slug, in the caverns, leaves a trail of frostbite-causing slime. But... hurts the FPS.
I guess the dark shrines could use Dwarf Skulls as ingredients? Can we has a reaction of "extract skull and blood from dwarf corpse". Since they're on an evil path now. Summon some IMPS too what with the dark altars.

ps. OldGenesis crashes too, it is annoying. Something the migrants bring in I think.

I don't think you can use dwarf corpses in reactions.

Dwarves don't like to use parts of intelligent creatures.

And dark path does not care for skulls, bones or bodies. Demons feast on souls, so they steal souls ignoring the flesh and leave you with mindless people/maniacs/husks, and they share their tiny presents for that.

The skulls and bones will be handy in the creation and reactions for the Skull Throne. It will  be the war religion path.

P.S. I just had my little 20-dwarf fort obliterated by a single maniac from worshipping the depths. Protip: strip cultists of weapons before performing dark praying.
