What's the big changes from 42.00, mod wise?
« on: February 29, 2016, 04:11:21 am »

I quit playing the game back in the DF2014 era and want to start modding again.

It's a buyers market. The author writes what sells, catering to the lowly demands of uneducated masses. In this case, apparently, charioteers.
Can we get migrant sponge cooks, a squid for bookkeeper, a starfish peasants, squirrel mechanics, vermin invaders, and cook roast crab meats?

There are a lot of new cool changes.

- Reaction categories (you can now categorize reactions in workshops, i.e. make them appear under topics)
- Reaction can have DESCRIPTION, which helps to explain them a lot.
- custom-built instruments from parts
- actual papermaking which can be transformed into all kinds of advanced material reactions

- syndromes can have SYN_NO_HOSPITAL, which means that fever rain won't send your dwarves into hospital etc.
- syndromes can now change personality of a person.
- syndromes can build-up (syndrome concentration), so you can have stackable effects. You can also have multiple syndromes stack with SYN_IDENTIFIER. Also ABRUPT_START to make syndrome instant.
- you can now mod in a difference between adventure mode and dwarf mode syndrome duration, which is huge for short syndromes. DWF_STRETCH.
- new buildings supported: GLASS, WOOD (for wood furnace), MASON, ASHERY, LEATHER, BOWYER, SIEGE, CLOTHES, METALSMITH, CARPENTER.
- reagents can get [IS_SAND_MATERIAL] (which checks for soil_sand) and [METAL_ITEM_MATERIAL] (which checks for ITEMS_METAL)

There must be more. Checking "file changes.txt" should help.

Don't forget to add [STRANGE_MOODS] to your dwarves :).
