It doesnt matter if you accept any of the things I suggest it still going to be a good mod but how does a laser gun do damage

[Brandstone]

I'm not the author, but something like this thread might be used. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69205.0

Edit: Although, that type of weapon sounds more like a railgun with incendiary ammo. Maybe playing with the names could get something feasible sounding.

Hm... It seems I had misconceptions about mass driver technology. Heh, woops.

I'm going to boot out energy weapons for now. Although that link is impressive and useful, I find the 20-foot plume of smoke a little OTT. For now, I just want to get basics in. I'll add Energy Weapon Experimentation to the list of to-dos

Did you think about making an exoskeleton into a full body suit rather than separate it into upper/lowebody parts? That's how I made Power Armor in Wasteland mod. Easier to micromanage, and no top/bottom mismatch this way.

That's what I attempted, but alas failed. How do you make it full-body? And, is there a tag that stops other clothes from being worn, under/over it? I thought [SHAPED] did so, but apparently not.

==============

Progress:

I've been wrestling with materials for about five hours now, going to and fro. I'm attempting to make stone/metals into soft-craftable clothing (ie, plastic waste > plastic > nylon > nylon pants). I've pretty much completed it, exception of two issues...
1. World gen doesnt use it (Probably because of a custom workshop, oh well).
2. The game doesn't allow the clothier to make them, apparently not recognising the nylon cloth as plant fibre cloth - although, the material *is* set as a plant fibre cloth.

The above two points would point me in the direction that I've done it wrong. However, in the arena mode, soft clothes have appeared *in* nylon/spandex/latex/etc.



Spandex being crafted.



Another annoying bug. One bar of Plastic > 200+ cloth. Bah.



Arena mode, where apparently synthetic clothing is available.



I am perplexed. =[

I think deon is working on the same thing and I cant think of anything to fix that

[adwarf]

This is what I was thinking of he implemented nylon pretty early on so I am sure it works

Nay, the way you mod a game in DF2010 is completely different from then... Thanks, anyway.

[adwarf]

Oh, well I tryed.

I just make it a chest item with LBSTEP to cover legs. You can still wear leggings under it, I am okay with that, I have leather leggings.

The game doesn't allow the clothier to make them, apparently not recognising the nylon cloth as plant fibre cloth - although, the material *is* set as a plant fibre cloth.

A workaround: make a "plant" which grows nowhere, has no seeds and call it nylon. Produce it in reactions.

But, how do players reproduce this if they want to grow their own? :/

[adwarf]

Grow plastic ?

[Deon]

Wait, you wanted it to be NOT a plant, right? Just make a reaction which turns plastic into plant.

Grow plastic ?

I think the main point is that the plastic is NOT a plant, otherwise it would be too easy to do (like rope reed).

That's what I did...

1. Mine plastic waste.
2. "Smelt" it into plastic.
3. Synthetic Workshop it into Nylon Cloth.
The problem then, is to make it usable at the clothier's workshop.

[Deon]

As I said! Make "nylon" a plant! Inorganic cloth does not work.
