Feedback is much appreciated ^_^

In this post I'm going to put in some possible concepts for future changes to see what others think about it..

To add in some fun I may make the Dwarves and Dracans fight. Both are earth based and it only makes since that they compete.

Dracans have the "[ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_CHAINMAIL_1:FORCED]" tag yet they aren't seen with it on in any of my games, I do see them wearing platemail and a mask but not chainmail... Platemail also has the common tag not forced.

How can one make this runite?

[mission0]

It's complex, mostly a uniting of the strongest metals of the game. If you go under the stone subtag in the status menu it should tell you how you can create each reaction. However for the sake of simplicity.

[REACTION:RUNITE_MAKING]
[NAME:make rune bars]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:MITHRIL]
[REAGENT:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:RUNITE]
[REAGENT:1:REACTION_CLASS:FLUX]
[REAGENT:4:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:RUNITE]
[FUEL]

Basically 1 part Mithril, 2 Parts Adamantine, and 1 part Runite. The runite is the hardest part of the reaction to get though. It will only appear within Mithril, and in clusters of one. However it should be importable along with Mithril.

Perhaps I should ramp up the value of Runite since it is so rare, 500 doesn't seem like much when you consider how hard this stuff is to get...

[Angellus]

How strong is it in comparisation with the price?
Counting addy as 500%

(1 mith, 2 addy, 1 rune, 1 flux and 4 coal)

[mission0]

addy costs 300 and as you said is 500% stronger than iron

Runite costs 500 and is 750% stronger than iron.

There is still something stronger going up to 800% however i'll leave that for you to find out, if it can be found.

Ehm, we could ctrl+f that in the raws...

Congratulations! You found the (+«-secret-»+) he wanted to tease us with!

[mission0]

Yes you could, but that would ruin the surprise.

edit:Also open to any ideas to put into the mod.

Version 1.1 out

Not a huge update but adds a few interesting things in ;p

[Daywalkah]

Great mod, I've changed the Dracans to a megabeast and changed the spelling to Drakon.

For those who don't know what a Drakon is or why I've changed it to a megabeast...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A Drakon is basically an older snake like dragon that sometimes is poisonous, can breath fire, or can fly, my version of the Drakon killed the world's population by year 7 mwahahahahaha.

Woot an opinion!

Thank ya. So are you currently playing them as a megabeast or just added them in as a megabeast race to play against?

[Daywalkah]

I'm using the whole mod with the Drakons changed so they're a megabeast that destroys many of my fortresses. Very cool mod. With your permission, I could advertise this mod by putting this into my signature. If you need help testing things for an update, just ask and I'll help.

[mission0]

I wouldn't mind if you put it in your signature. Don't really need help testing just need some new ideas.

Also what did you think of the new reactions?

[Daywalkah]

The new reactions are pretty good/ helpful. I was sieged and mithril armor saved the fortress  . The reactions also are pretty balanced based on how strong and useful the metal is. Good job!
