DAMN YOU, SCAN-TRON!!!!

[Snorunt30]

Can I get a rundown of what exactly happened? My assumption is a shallow HFS...

No. Duplication of the raws occured, then DF went mad and started tossin rock at a paint board. Thats what happens if you dupe raws. Shit occurs. Reality warping shit that would make a acid trip seem logical.

I still don't get some of the photos... Am I just that bad at DF that I don't get it? Or am I just too stupid to get it?

Well, basically I flipped the world inside out , slade being the overworld, and clay somehow being hell, and in the second test candy was common on the overworld yet still made the tubes (and slade was still hell). Though does anyone have any idea why hell was clay in the first one?
Will be interesting if I go to mod animals at some point later and end up making the circus wander overland and cows and such in hell. Though that would make for a very bad place to embark (or very fun, depending on how you look at it )
Honestly surprised I didn't screw it up enough before to cause something as amusing as this.

Do something awesome like everything overworld be in hell and everything in hell be in overworld! Make for a cool sucession fort

Give me a few more days, maybe I'll make one more screwup that makes animals switch spots (since overworld is already underworld in the save, clay is hell, that may change region to region however as I haven't checked nearby areas and not quite sure why it chose clay of all the items) and there is surface veins of slade, and you can buy slade on embark for 3 points )). If you want to take a look I posted the embark (be warned, it does reanimate, and quite frequently at that...) and the world prior to embark . And its year 2, be warned the already embarked one has 100 dwarves since there would be next to no migration (and i wanted to rise quickly to mountain-home and what not), and to think all this was caused by the one duplicate lol

I realize that this is a necro of sorts (better than reviving it in, say a month from now I suppose), but thought it was relatively pertinent to this

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If I understand correctly this is evil fog/rain, but here's the real question, how did they manage to actually barrel it up without dying . And unfortunately the original fort made by this (set of raws) is over run with zombies (and by that I mean ~150 dwarf bodies/undead, and even higher amounts of un-dead animals that I brought for food on each reclaim, death was instant as soon as you reclaimed, well for me at least (I'm very inexperienced with the military side of DF, even with playing for several months )
Same raws  (removed aquifers from all dirt and stones though, flooding is not pleasant when your entire fort... is below the level flooded  ...)and whatnot, new world, and ~336 years in now
On a side note made no progress with demons (you can blame school for that though, giving me multiple essays and all to do  , that and not sure if they will be moved as easily as slade was, will make some attempt on this, this weekend and post any results I have, or anything peculiar that occurs because of it)
And what purposes could nefarious mist have in barreled form? In any case will be interesting since in the new fort there's a very nearby tower that will (likely) visit frequently, perhaps I can test dumping it on the visitors and see what happens

That sounds cool

Duping raws creates random effects.

Very often it creates unplayable worlds. Yours is a mild version of it. Often in worlds which are playable a game halting bug ends up appearing.

As discussed before - there have been many instances of cravans exploding - because they showed up with leather, which was boiling because of its native temp being off.

Dragons explode as well.

It can have lots of novelty value, but it often gets trumped by just modifying the raws the way you want directly.

Just what does it mean to duplicate a raw? Do I have to have two copies of the .txt, or just double an entry?

The latter.

My fucking armok, you broke the game.

i apologise, but I am sigging that.

When I duplicated raws, I played as humans who ate a food just named "cave fish woman" and when I dug into the caverns, there were giant hairy mites.
Like, fucking clusters of them. And they were all technically forgotten beasts.

Well, so far no exploding dragons or boiling caravans (or anything crazily off)

As for being easier, it might be the case that it would be easy to do so, however the whole reason this occurred is because of how bad I am at modding (just look at it... one screw up and all this happened  )

[misko27]

And things just got weirder  

someone's probably already mentioned it. but IIRC, if a violent ghost misses, a dwarf can counter and kill the ghost.

That is just sad. Imagine losing a fight while incorporeal.

Why apologise? Im glad you sig it.
