> I've noticed that this is retardedly hard. Im okay with this. However, whats up with the delay after a gun firing?
Are you referring to fortress mode or adventure mode? While adventure mode is difficult, fortress mode shouldn't be if you're playing cautiously. In any case, the normal guns aren't automatic due to the nature of ranged weapons in DF, but you can increase firing speed with the gunnery skill.

> Plywood shields... what category of stock is it?  There is no plywood/stone under armor.
It may be considered wood, though I'm not sure. I didn't account for plywood as an armor material.

Development is progressing, albeit slowly, as modding time is scarce these days. I'm open to bug reports and suggestions in the meantime.

Yeah, I meant adventure mode, as I enjoy that just a bit more.

HOLY BUGREPORT, BATMAN!

After installing my Scorpion PA on my "very weak" unicorn, I realized that he dropped down to that level in all attributes. The reason?
The training drink for PA changes attributes, not adds them. Luckily, I had saved beforehand, so nothing lost. You might want to change that to
adding the attribute.

[Lycaeon]

After rechecking the raws I've determined the problem; the first number zero in STRENGTH:0:500 is the percentage change...essentially setting the attribute to zero instead of not changing it (It should have been 100). The second number is the boost, but now that the attribute is zero only 500 is added, setting the final value to be 500.

I missed this as I normally set attributes by the percentage setting and not the boost setting. The correct value should be STRENGTH:100:500, which keeps the attribute the same and adds an additional 500 points. Fortunately this only really affects scorpion power armor, as the steel ranger power armor values are STRENGTH:0:2000, which sets the value to 0 but adds 2000 points, which is still pretty high (though not as high as I'd intended).

You can hotfix this by editing the power armor interactions in interaction_mwt.txt file in your save raws. Here are the edited raws to replace the first three interactions in the file.

It's not a significant bug, as it only is detrimental for scorpion PA (which you can wear without the training potion), so I may not release a patch until later.

Thanks for pointing this out tahujdt!

I've had a really, REALLY Fun time while playing this.
I had one fort almost fall to brainbots, but I managed to save it by keeping my miners inside the stable; 5 out of the original 7 died. That fort lasted about two years..... then everyone went stark raving mad, berserk, or suicidal. It was survived by a baby unicorn who eventually got kidnapped while in the.. "care" (meaning the baby was watching him run around babbling inside the food stockpile) of the last living adult. Good god, this mod seems makes the game 2x more sadistic and murdery than vanilla dorf fortress. 

[tahujdt]

I made a temp fix myself by changing it to 1500, and leaving it at that. So, can I have my leader drink the potion a second time, or am I screwed?

[Maklak]

You only get one upgrade per pony, so you're screwed. Runesmith doesn't even work for this version and I don't know if JDwarf can change attributes. Still, military training raises attributes, so they will get better eventually, just not as good as they should have been.

> What about modding an alternative drink for that pony to use?  Then changing it back?
Oh, in that case, remove the check if the pony already has an upgrade and see what happens.

[Zangi]

[Lycaeon]

> So, can I have my leader drink the potion a second time, or am I screwed?
If fixing the interaction didn't fix the leader's stats (Perhaps it can't be changed once it's applied), then go to [INTERACTION:INSTALL_SCORPION_POWER_ARMOR] in the interaction_mwt.txt file, remove [IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS:UPGRADE] from it, and have your unicorn drink the scorpion PA upgrade potion again. While I'm not 100% sure this will work, if it does it lets you avoid having to mess with other upgrade interactions or drinks to fix the problem.

For this, your values should be STRENGTH:100:1500, etc., so you get an additional 1500 points on top of the 500.

> I've had a really, REALLY Fun time while playing this.
Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Have dust storms been removed? Unlike the suicidal people, I don't play in savage or evil areas so I've never had to deal with radiation storms. So my last two embarks have all been in calm surroundings, and there've been rad storms. If dust storms have been completely replaced, fantastic. Now I don't have to go to the scarier areas and I don't have to be pissed about worthless dust storm alerts taking my attention away.

There is a way to deactivate the annoying alerts for bad weather, masterwork has a feature like that, but it also removes the alerts for digging hot/damp tiles and whatnot.
No idea how that works though, you could try checking it out and reverse engineering it somehow.

Got to warn you though Timmy, no alerts for radiation storms WILL kill you.

[Zangi]

Actually... the yellow/green clouds are like gambling... chance that it is only small/negligible injuries, ghoulification or eventual death by rotting everywhere.  That last one is a pretty decent way to train surgery...

Unless the radiation storms are something else.  Then I've never seen one.

[the1337doofus]

^That. I turned off all alerts because I was getting tons of "Blah dust storm blah" alerts, and a very large cloud of radiation made it's way onto the map......it hit my wagon, which everyone was still hanging around.... everybody got rotted, knocked out for half the year, and eventually died of thirst. 

[Indigo_Surprise]

Missed the point entirely. I was asking if dust storms have been replaced entirely with rad storms. I hated alerts for dust storms since they don't do jack shit.

No.

[gzoker]

Argh, what happened with me? I read through the whole thread, and now i can't get a decent embarking team. I'm trying to roll one for the last three hours, but no, not even a few good enough ponies. My rule of thumb isn't that strict, give me four useful from the seven and I'm good to go. Reading the skill learning rates was a mistake. With all those cutiemarks, stats, and personalities the team just can't get good enough.
I guess I have to take the worst trash of the wasteland with me, and make it work.
Oh boy.

Did the last update change the frequencies of the castes, or am i just unlucky with the embark lottery?

Also in my last stable i had an earth pony mare who couldn't drop her synth-cola barrels. She got stuck with hauling them every time she got a drink.
