Details

Regeneration aims to add new creatures, civs, items, buildings, reactions, and castes. With a interaction based magic system, bringing more advanced creatures and combat. From special castes that are based on Melee, Range, and Magic. Combined with new combat moves that can change the tide of a battle, for the good or bad. Profession specific workshops that work together to keep all your people busy to feed a growing industry. Expect tools to break and have to be remade too keep things running, Else expect to be left with the basic vanilla production.

You will encounter things such as:
Harder Elves (respect the hippys)
Trogs and Gremlins (caverns)
Outcast Elves (elven exiles)
Zombies (Invaders and Evil roamers)
Skeletons (End Game Baddies)
Kobolds
Goblins

Two new positions the 'Overseer' and 'Emotional Advisor'. Overseers can be replaced at anytime by you (for succession fortresses), same with Emotional Advisors. Overseers act as a placeholder for the imagination and show up as a bright cyan same color as elite swordsmen. There are two emotional advisors, they can talk with workers and calm them down reducing tantrum spirals. They also require a bedroom, office, dining room, 1 cabinet, and 1 box/coffer. Not only that but they can make 1 demand a year.

Milita Commanders and Captains are no longer have the "milita" in their name and the old Lt. and Captain nobles have been removed. Commanders and Captains now control squads of 20 and require their own comforts. The General can now command 50 soldiers. Dwarves their broker doubles as the bookkeeper aswell now. And the Humans manager handles all Book work and trading.

This mod is still in the making, there are so many things to come that I can't even dare to fit them in the future plans list. But some of the main planned features are in there, and some of them you may never even know. Think of those as... Easter Eggs, gotta find-em to see if its good or bad.

Also bugs will be a given, from anything to a miss spelled reaction, building, item, creature to annoying reaction bugs or buildings.

Features (Global)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New creatures from a advanced undead system where breaking the skull
or brain finish off the horde, or stabbing the heart in some cases.

Expanding Civs above and below ground, from gremlins and trogs to civs that have been forgotten.

Skills no longer rust and decay (may change back to vanilla once buildings are done)

Magic, Religion, and Science (Tech) are just a few more ways you can defeat or be defeated by your foes.

Special buildings and reactions that help you get what you need, even when its not on your map.

Random Encounters, so don't think goblins or undead are what you have to worry about.

Zombies and Skeletons are now civs that are relentless, also evil embarks just got harder.
Beware the Horde!

Special castes that go from normal, melee, range, siege, and spell casters.
******************************************************************************
Normal - These are your standard run of the mill dwarf, nothing special

War - These dwarves heal faster, are naturally good at fighting, have no emotion or need of sleep.
But get enraged at any hostile, can only eat meat , and see only half as far.

Hunt - These dwarves are naturally good at ambushing, archery, observing and tracking.
They are good at dodging and have minor combat skills. Also they have built in combat styles

Priest - These dwarves can use magic, magic is good at defeating undead.
They are more apt to use Temples, as they learn magic and concentration faster, also they are naturals at it.

Siege - These are not dwarves but they were built by them, Obsidian Golems they are stuck with
preset combat skills. They can do other jobs, but they cannot learn.
******************************************************************************

Features (Fortress Mode)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Resource Buildings:
******************************************************************************
Temple of Regeneration
The temple let's you make focus crystals from certain gems, and better focus crystals from special gems.
With focus crystals you can take any ore (metal containing rock) and make a Orb of Regeneration of that ore.
From there you can use the orb on its own to slowly regen ore, or use focus crystals to speed the process.
At max 8 focus crystals help the orb regen ore instantly, 16 focus crystals for two orbs.
The better focus crystals farther increase the chances a orb will regen ore, and if 8 are used a
chance to produce a extra ore is possible.

Mine Shaft
The mine shaft allows for digging operations, it requires a lantern, candles, and a miner (min) to perform
a digging operation. Digging for Flux, Coal, and gems are possible. But adding in more handy mining tools
will help with the chance of acquiring hard to get materials.

Quarry
The quarry allows your miners to dig for any worthless stone, with stones that you can make plaster powder with
those you can dig for as well. The Quarry also allows you to destroy excess rocks as well. It also features a
destroy all rock items feature, too de-clutter furniture stockpiles or useless rock crafts.

Misc:

All underground plants grow all season, but take twice as long to grow.
Digging for Coal in the Mineshaft has a chance to cause coal dust, which causes black lung.
Fences in lengths of 3,5,7,9,11, and 15 in both NS and WE (blocks all but lvl 2 building destroyers, and allows ranged attacks to pass).

If you have a concept of what a new creature/race might look like feel free to PM me or "The Master" for us to look over. No image is incorrect. But the best will be posted here with "Your Name" loven'ly crediting your hard work.

[Stronghammer]

Wow sounds really nice, downloading now.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

There will be a small fix popping up today, I'm currently working on reverting all the changes that my current graphics pack has done for creature tiles (this mod started as a personal mod.). Also I'm Lining up a list of Altered Files so that experienced users can merge or know what is being changed.

[Stronghammer]

Thx for the update im enjoying the mod thus far.

[NightS]

I think i have never seen a mod like this before...
10 for originality (from me, i don't know all mods in the forum, heh)
And for gameplay... downloading now to try it

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Thanks for the positive feedback, Expect in the next release to be able to write and read, make ink, paper, and vellum/parchment. Also fun stuff like sulfuric acid, you can either weaponise it, you use it for ink making. Books and the like will make IMPROVED vanilla reactions, say make a scroll of smelting and now every smelt job has the ablitly to yield more products. And the making of books (so I can remove the standard book for the Doctor's Desk which can be made from anything ) Hopefully I can get more into the caste system again, or get corpse/body searching. More planned critters getting in would be nice.

A future plan for adding black powder (gun powder) will come in whenever I get a new weapon made up with its special ammo, also oil and the like. Mainly Gnomes will have these weapons as they are into the 'Steampunk' era. Due to their size and lack of magic they had to think fast and hard to make up for it. So Tech is there specialty.

EDIT: Made a fatal mistake with the ASCII version, I had forgotten to chage the tiles for the stone layers/minerals/whatnot. In the next release they will be fixed (hopefully all) but I might have missed some.

[NightS]

If you want to put more metals, you can use the script i made, it will make it easier (check my sig)

[Aramco]

I don't know what it is about this mod, but something about just makes me feel like it will be amazing. I shall now play it and see if I am wrong or not. (Hopefully not)

Edit: Though I must say the temple of regeneration looks rather OP if you get just one adamantine in there, and you can make as much as you want, with no fear of *that.*

Also an Edit: I just embarked, and WHY IS EVERYTHING SPINNING

Also an Edit: I just embarked, and WHY IS EVERYTHING SPINNING

Also Cotton Candy cannot be made into a Orb of Regen, because it is not classed as a 'Ore' so no, cotton candy cannot be reproduced... and SPINNING? can you PM some screen shots? are you using ASCII or the PHOEBUS version?

And yes the ToR might be a little overpowered, but you need a good gem industry to run it, and not every gem can be used to make focus crystals (only white and black gems), I only managed to nerf and make the quarry and mineshaft fairly balanced. Once I farther the development and get most of the new features In. I'll rework the ToR

If you want to put more metals, you can use the script i made, it will make it easier (check my sig)

I will keep this in mind I might rework metal materials to custom preferences so its copper<iron<bronze<silver<steel<cotton candy. But other metals would be good to slip in there. thas only a example, but there is ALOT that needs to be added. There are stil 3 major races that need to be added as of yet.

[Nighthawk]

When I saw the title of the mod, the first thought that came to mind was,

"REGENERATION?! MY ADVENTURERS ARE SAVED!"

But then I realized that it had nothing to do with growing back limbs.
I was disappoint.

Other than that fact, this mod looks pretty cool. It's got some awesome stuff in it.

(But I still wish I could regenerate limbs...)

I wish too man... I wish too... It would be great in fortress mode aswell... But being Tenzu the Blind human adventerer isn't soo bad... if you survive the arrows in your eyes.
And what is here for this version is only tip of the ice burg, theres still the stuff under the ice waters

[Deon]

Urk dasha, blood beast, zombie, skeleton.

[narhiril]

The mine shaft is a pretty neat concept. 

Does it actually produce copies of the items used for input when "retaining" them or does it produce weird things like "copper lamp lamp"?  I recall having some trouble with the GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT token in the past where it would do things like that.  I tried to make a reaction once to re-stack ammunition (by grabbing a whole bunch of it and using GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT for the product), but I remember getting things like "cow bone bolt bolts". 

I suppose this could be completely circumvented by not assigning a material to the tool items (or using a specific material and then specifying that material in the product), but I'm curious if you got it to work where it would retain the original item's material.

Also, I think it's high time we pestered Toady for some multi-level buildings.
