You can make porcelain?  Sorry, I had no idea.

Feel free to remove it. Having a non lethal stone that can be used to make things with would be nice. My last fort had everything made from native coal. That stuff was everywhere. And not a drop of iron to be found...then again, that is Dwarf Fortress. Swimming in coal but with nothing to melt

i use porcelain. that is i USED porcelain, untill i sold it to some warlords for 4 obrezs and alot of their stuff.. it was A LOT OF porcelain. and beer. and a caged elephant. the bastards were still able to go away with 1 cloth bin.

Just a thought. On your need to use the Dissector skills.

Fish; Mussels, Urchins, Blow fish. These raw fish need to be Disected before eating.

Animals; Venom Inducing Animals. Can be used to create Medicine...

[kerlc]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... roach soup.

Currently only mammals can be pickled, rats, squirrels, birds. However I am probably going to do something similar with insects. Maybe just dried _____ .

here's something all of you FRP fans will remember (soon to be possible in corrosion) iguana-on-a-stick!

Here's some screenshots of the previously mentioned graphics

New Snow tiles and a scene from my fort after the latest Scavenger Attack.

Well I'll have to mod in iguana's now

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure you need to capture these fish in an animal trap. So while it is more accurate, fishermen would still be able to catch and eat raw fish.

The Blowfish would be possible, perhaps the sea nettle jellyfish or something. But I'll have to wait until medicine and poison-able weapons come out before it'll be useful.

I am going to start cleaning up the smelters and metals soon. Smelting with bars will yield more stone then smelting with ores. The following metals are up for elimination, if there are protests I'd be happy to take them off the list. Likewise if you wish to submit your own and there's some agreement and no disagreement from me  I will add it.

Electrum -> The only advantage is saving fuel in the ore reaction. Other then that just another yellow metal.
Bismuth -> Only used in Bismuth Bronze reaction
Bismuth Bronze -> Not significantly better then bronze, seems like a useless step.
Sterling Silver -> Again, only advantage is saving fuel.
Nickel Silver -> You should be making brass and Cupurnickel instead of this.

I would be fine with these metals being removed, and I agree with your point about bismuth bronze. Is it supposed to be marginally better at blunt attacks or something? I am not sure about the specifics, but the slight stat boost isn't really worth the use of precious fuel.

And I like the new look for snow/sand/water, a nice improvement on the ones used at the moment. I am seriously looking forward to the next DF update. We (hopefully) will be able to actually have a "Zombie has bitten the lonely fisherman, will he/won't he turn into a flesh-crazed living corpse?" situation.

On that note, what are your plans for the mechanics of the infection? Will the victim always turn into a Zombie, or will they sometimes just die from the infection? Or maybe even recover? (That option would probably have to be quite rare...)

According to the wiki they are exactly the same. But it doesn't pay off to have either another stone to compete with or another clutter in the smelter.

I plan on zombies being able to transform other people into zombies (or at the least make them berzerk)

The chances and symptoms of a bite depend on the zombie that bit the human.

Scrawns/Lumbering: Fever within the first few days. Guaranteed so you know they were bitten. Fever persists for a number of weeks followed by a host of nasty syndromes. Zombism will have a 25-50% chance of happening and won't happen until a season has passed, giving you enough time to deal (or at least restrain the subject)

Evasive: Probably same as above.

Daunting/Spitters: For 1-3 weeks there will be no symptoms. Then suddenly, massive nausea, coughing blood, dizziness, fever, the works. They will become a zombie a few ingame days later (about 1-2 minutes)

By the way, any Corrosion succession games going on?

[kerlc]

not taht i would know.

can anyone make a custom map? prefferably in the shape of (either) USA and canada, Europe, Asia, southern America, Africa?

[SirAaronIII]

A bit late, but without magma, I think porcelain and pretty much any other clay is too much work for too little gain.

When the next version is released, are you going to mod in zombie mutants? Like gaining special powers of speed and strength ala Wesker?

[kerlc]

the spitting infected spit rocks, scrawn infected are OHMYGODWHERETHEHELLISMYSPLEEN??? fast, lumbering are strong, slow and can knock down buildings.

and there is the sulking infected who kidnap babies, and have this ability:

A: dum de dum, i am going to cut down some trees.
An Ambush! Curse Them!
A: OMGOMGOMG!!!!!! *dies very painfully*


so, enough variety for ya?

[IT 000]

As Kerlc said there is already some variety, and I am open to new ideas for zombie types. But Zombies at the moment are already stronger then humans so the Wesker would just seem overkill.

Scrawns : Fast but weak
Lumbering : Slow but Strong, building destroyer
Skulking : Average in everything except speed, but can ambush
Spitting : Spits globs from a distance
Daunting : Bigger and badder then the Lumbering

So if you (or anyone else for that matter) have any ideas for new types I'd be open to them.

[kerlc]

civilised infected. like the daunting, but in TOP HATS!

[Trapezohedron]

L4D type virus immune humans, or humans that mutate into half-zombies when bitten (they remain civilized with mutant powers, like the wesker. sorry for not elaborating.)

[kerlc]

for the clothing mod: TOP HATS!

otherwise, yes i thought along your ways, New Guy, but i am just soooooo cheerful now. and that vodka helps, thank you!
