Well Deon,well done to you for starting it off and well done to TomiTapio for updating it. I take of my hat to the both of you. As masterwork is being redone at the moment, i decided to give this mod a go and it is very fun indeed.
Thanks! This mod has roots way back, in Deon's "DF Complete". Trying to keep the spirit of vanilla, but add lots of stuff. Mmmm birch trees... *removes all French words from prepared meals*
The only one glitch i have seen is in my current fortress, the dwarves are not taking food to the food stockpiles, so i have had to get the dwarve to 'dump' them into the food stockpiles. Otherwise everything else seems to be working great.
some wild mushrooms are inedible on purpose, so dorf gatherers gather useless stuff too :-) maybe the thingies make blueshroom dye instead.
Anyone else seen food oddities? I didn't encounter any food problems when I rolled short-lived forts.

Time to add more animal and monster vocalization-texts into adventure mode. Giraffe says what?

I think it was something like "mah-hwoog". Or was it the tapir?

So I run many test adventurers, and whatever animals they encounter, I add vocalizaitions / activity noises to them. And remove "you smell <name of fish / bird> on the wind" illogicalities.

Today tuning the civilized creatures' smells and skills. Dorf and human nose bad, elf and scavenger nose sensitive.

I was thinking about a plant-based race, but playable, not just as invaders. ;) But the 40.x vanilla update came in between.

Ok here's the latest version of OldGenesis, Ironhand only.
Will merge my April changes to Phoebus and ASCII when a new DF version comes.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8967397/DF40_24_OldGen_Ironhand_AprilAdvVer.zip

Much animal sounds and odorlevel tuning for adventurer mode.
Dwarf mode is only slightly affected (civ skills, animal occurrence frequencies)
Update notes:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Pro tip: if an animal doesn't vocalize in the real world, just have them make other sounds like "you hear branches breaking" "you hear grass rustling" "you hear underbrush noises" "you hear a crack."

this mod is awesome, having started up a second fortress in a desert after finding my first fort to easy, i am having a lot of fun with it. I guess the one comical thing is, that in version 4.24, you hardly ever get invaded, which is a shame when you have a highly skilled standing army waiting to repel invaders.lol.

I too haven't gotten much invader trouble. My forts are not very long-lived, (fps/boredom death at 120fps or 40citizens+30animals)
so I guess it's time to adjust the
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION:2]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE:2]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:2]
of entities to make them evildoers come sooner.
Previous fort had "wildlife is mostly lone owl and lone eagle", crap hunting, crap combat training. So.. great horned owl frequency down, they exist in 7+ biomes.

ps. One fort season (100800 frame ticks) is: 67 minutes at 25 fps, 34 minutes at 50 fps, 17 minutes at 100 fps, 8.5 min at 200 fps.

Ironhand version is now on DFFD also, not just in my Dropbox.
Phoebus and ASCII versions should I do any day now. I guess next vanilla DF is 4-5 weeks away.

I have to say, i still think this is one of the top mods for dwarf fortress that exists. have you considered making a GUI for this mod, so you can specify max number of dwarves, turn of AQUIFIER, that kind of thing. just a thought? if it is to complicated, fair play.

Thanks! I / we try to keep the spirit of vanilla DF, just add more civs and more workshops 'n stuff.

At one point, Deon had a launcher to configure Genesis. It didn't last for many months, I think.
I'm not planning to have a launcher or configuration helper.

What kinds of stuffs should civilized centaurs vocalize? Humans and orcs burp and sneeze and mutter and grunt.
So that adventurer can *hear* that this is a centaur village / centaur bandit group. I wonder if I have put any vocalization messages to the demon civ.
Edit: 9+3+10 downloads of latest OldGenesis, on DFFD.

Edit Friday May 8th: working on...
- more kobolds, fewer scavengers and centaurs (population, age tuning).
- Dunedweller population down, and adjust their professions. Keepers pop down.
- orc, beastmen population up.
- _two more goblin civs_ (each with own creature entry): goblines and groblins. To get more SIEGES hopefully.
Edit: yay got a Gobline war squad. They killed 2 outdoor dorfs then left.
(11+4+11 DLs on DFFD so far; never could get statistics on Dropbox downloads)
(19+8+19 DLs on DFFD May 10th)


If anyone wants to test with the in-progress Ironhand raws (with 3 goblin civs), here they are: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8967397/OldGen%20Ironhand%20latest%20raws.zip
just delete your current ironhand raws and put this folder there instead. And roll a new world.

The shaman rings bounce on the drum as the shaman bangs on the drum. Make lots of TOYS to get the shaman rings and lamps. (some workshops require oil lamps)
