More tilesets. (Cla, JollyBastion, Vherid)

More optional modifications. (a slippery slope)

More utilities. (I wouldnt even know which ones)

More standardization (even less rocks/gems/stuff)

More bugfixes (whatever is left)

More balancing (for example include Modest Bodies with better joints)

Something else, I let you know in the comments.

Yeah, some bedrock evaporates... but your iron bars? They should still exist. Its in the first post btw, the "- Several stone types leave only dust, no solid stone"... they do leave stone if you play with temp:off though, so players can toggle that if they want to have more.

[nekoexmachina]

Of iron bars its just me panicking, they've just ported to desintegrated workshops point it seems.
No sign of temperature-destruction of stuff in initial post
Can I somehow get BOILING_POINT up to something without regenning? Editing save/regionn/raw files didn't help.

[Putnam]

That should be working.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, provided you're editing the raws in your correct save folder instead of the main DF raws, altering the boiling point will prevent stone from evaporating. The same method can be used to cause dwarves to spontaneously combust by altering their skin boiling point, for instance.

Minor geological nitpicking here.

I noted that due to the removal of Kimberlite from the inorganic minerals, diamonds and all diamond-related gems were moved to occur in Bauxite instead.  While I understand the need to move the gems, this is probably not the most (scientifically) accurate surrogate.

Bauxite deposits are typically formed due to weathering of silicate / aluminosilicate rocks.  These types of stone will not support diamond formation.  Diamonds occur naturally due to deeper-mantle volcanic eruptions, and as such will not be located in the lighter differentiated sedimentary and felsic silicate minerals that Bauxite is derived from.

The next closest appropriate mineral (to replace kimberlite) to place diamonds in would be olivine or possibly gabbro.  Unfortunately there isn't truely any appropriate ultramafic mineral left in Accelerated DF.

Is this still still being worked on?

Is this still still being worked on?

Its not outdated, if you mean that. I am the author, I am still active, but there is not much to do on this. I will update it to the next DF version, once its out.

Great work Meph, this is now my default  DF.
I have had problems with the embark options being cranky due to the material changes.
Can that be addressed or is it hard coded?

I figured out a solution for the cattle-can't-live problem, over here:

I've been using these raws along with PE's starter pack, and I must say that the speed increase is very significant. I now can play into 10 years+ without getting eaten by the FPS monster. On a side note, is there any way to replace stone that evaporate to the usual stones that don't? I sometimes run into a lot of rubble, to the point that I am digging deeper and wider for construction materials, since I like to build a medium sized surface fort.

[Meph]

If you just remove rubble and gen a new world, you should be fine. Or disable temperature, which of course has other sideeffects.

Hello Meph!

First, I would like to say how amazing these mods are! They are a life-saver when I am playing on my laptop, and just make the game smoother and easier to play!

However, I have come across an unfortunate bug. While using the Accelerated DF mod, it is impossible to become a vampire as an adventurer. Since all the blood becomes a generic "blood" instead of "UristMcSeverdLimb's blood" it is impossible to properly drink a vampire's blood.


For more info, see the post I made on r/dwarffortress: http://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/250h56/vampirism_failure_to_contract/

I've been trying to figure out some issues I've been having with moods and one exchange that occurred on page 8 that has left me confused.

Jimmy made a few posts of modified raws: creature_accelerated, material_template_accelerated, and material_template_default. These changes prevent creature preference in moods (at least thats what I understand.)

Are those changes incorporated into the latest version of Accelerated DF and Modest Mod or do I need to make them manually? Or are those raws outdated now?

[Meph]

The changes have not been added yet. I havent made an update for this in ages. But nice to see that people do use it.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I was excited by the mod and added a little of my own flavor in my raw files. Then I started fixing more stuff, then more, and eventually my own raw files became something completely different to Meph's version. I should also admit that I haven't kept a changelog of my work and it's been months since I did them, so god only knows what my version ended up becoming. I'd suggest you consider it a wonderful opportunity to dabble in the art of modding.
