Could we just limit it to the ones with canonically known powers?

[Putnam]

That would be less than we have right now...

[Putnam]

Added ectobiology, the rest of the god tiers (which I had done earlier but fuck my life I failed to save it correctly), reworked build grist (they're worth less now, but you can make them out of boulders and wood).

[Sergarr]

So, apparently the next patch will have gelding.

Have you thought of any way to utilize this new feature in this mod?

[Putnam]

Trolls are already sterile as of 1.2; the only way for them to have children once they enter your fort is through ectobiology. This is really nice, since ectobiology is 100% voluntary and works with homosexual couples (including both male!).

[Sergarr]

100% voluntary? What do you mean by that?

EDIT: Also, why do all the troll weapons lack the [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4] tags?

It's done by a reaction in a workshop, and there's a default [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER] for if you don't define it which is just 3:3 which is what all weapons except whips have in vanilla.

1. It's done by a reaction.
2. They are...

Update yer copy

[Sergarr]

Ok, I laughed at sord...s prepare times.

Also you should totally add that "JPEG Compress" attack to it that was in this mod a long time ago. With ridiculous prepare_and_recover time, like 413:612 or something.

How do the alchemised weapons compare to regular weapons? I can't understand the RAW files for shit.

[Putnam]

Tier 1: same as copper
Tier 2: same as brass (not that bad at all)... though it may be about the same as iron, not quite sure
Tier 3: same as steel
"Alchemized": adamantine, sometimes heavier
Unbreakable: stronger than anything else possible in the game

though you can't get unbreakable anything without DFHack

[Graknorke]

Alright, so regular weapons still have worth. Good to know.

EDIT: The inability to brew alcohol is really a killer in colder embarks, huh. Amenity honk-birds a must.

[Putnam]

SHIT CAN'T BREW ALCOHOL

every goddamn mod that tripped me up

Also, I should probably get a better way to get amenity grist.

Is that a standard thing that happens with race changing mods then?
I don't know a great deal about the specifics of modding so that sounds really odd to me. I'm guessing it would make sense if you actually knew why.

[Putnam]

It's because I forgot to include the ability to brew; the reactions to do so were changed with 0.40.01 and the change is minor enough that I keep forgetting about it. 100% human error, nothing intrinsic to mods.
