Goddamn genies
« on: May 25, 2014, 07:15:34 pm »

Anyone know how long these things live?

Also what is in their 'wish' pool? I want to know what kinds of items I'll get and if it's worth it to buy a few.

Genies live for one year.

Their list of gifts include:
A bar of coke.
A random flux stone, either limestone, marble, or dolomite.
A rough piece of glass, either green glass, clear glass, or crystal glass.
A block of amber or coral.
Ore of valuable metals, either silver, gold, aluminum, or platinum.
Uncut emeralds, rubies, sapphires, or their more valuable 'star' variants, or possibly any of the many types of diamond.

They need a nestbox to leave the gift in.

They're really not worth it. They're just one wish genies and you don't get to name your wish.

With putnams script for creating items, I could actually make a real genie. A "archeologist finds epic golden lamp" and it creates one items of your choice, from wooden stick to adamantine great sword. Could be a very rare easter egg.

See, I've kind of been wondering why you haven't yet, mostly because I can't think of a way to get the damn things to show up in a reasonable manner.

Because I wrote Genies before I even included dfhack in the mod. Now I have the option to improve them, but its a small matter, and other things always jump up the todo list.
