Boing posted:Looking at the embark site again. There's not much flat ground to build a Gemclod-style keep on, so I'll be interested to see what Leperfish decides to make the fort look like. Normally I try to carve my entrance into a rock face but all the slopes here seem to be mainly soil, so we'll certainly be going down a few levels. A symmetrical eight-story tower plated with porcelain tiles.

 day 36 Bronzestabbed, in here somewhere Chief pioneer said they bruised their heads against the green jinx down below. Copper is almost always a poor sign. Taking the room from all the proper earth wealth and making forts poor and haggardly and elastic against blows. It makes for not very good weapons. Not very good armor, first stands a hit and then bends like reed. Not very good puzzleboxes. Maybe good carving knives, if they didn't bend so fast. Best for archers, maybe. Heavier than wood. Persuades bronze sometimes to bend too. Dad did not worry much over the malachite. He gave it to masons for decorative floor blocks. An elf guildsman was soothed with a bin full of offered figurines. A pretty green color. He said it was the noblest of all coppers, it did not taint the earth with its presence alone. The iron and the flux tolerated its company. I only hope we strike more than the green. At least my pots and pans won't be nethercap this time. Maybe I'll try the stew again.

Personally, I'm more bothered by the patchwork effect made by the subtle color differences between identical grass tiles. If we're tinkering with the tileset, I'd vouch for the "Ground Flat" option as well. The dry and dead patches would still have their own colors, but the variation in the normal grass tiles would be reduced to two from like eight or something. scamtank fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jun 25, 2012 |

I like this a lot. One other thing that bothers me about tilesets is how I can't reflexively see where the tile grid is anymore. I have to count borders from some fixed terrain piece like a shrub or a tree or a corridor corner. This answers my current and also previous gripes - look at those nice, uniform colors.

 day 87 Bronzestabbed, under my mincing station I have tried to remember my brother's famous steel sausage recipe. It is solid and chunky, with all the disgusting eye and stomach shapes minced away from the eater's sight. I have tried for over a month now. The others have started looking at my results funny from which I know I am not at all close to the true solution. I will keep experimenting after I appease them with my stew. It turned out fine. Cannot wait to experiment with turkey egg. I felt relief at the news of tin, but we are still precarious. Only solid granite makes it trustworthy and abundant even in times of distress. I do not know how sparse it is, but we must look deeper still. At least the militia commander can now glance human blades away. The administrator came for the bones I took the meats off of. I do not know what he plans, but I know better than to obstruct one who is maybe touched by the gods. I have seen the great and fell Rithsogesthân's breath on the wind. I pray for him nightly to spare us. scamtank fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jun 25, 2012 |

 You can adjust zone designation so that it fills out along the floor, like a room built from a piece of furniture, instead of a painted rectangle.day 216 Bronzestabbed, left side to the pet cage Our bulwark thrives despite rude new arrivals. I have instructed Crackmaster in understanding our crude stone still as best I may. If we strike more tin, I will request for tubes and pots of bronze. Her first attempt in wine was as good as mine yet two of the fresh slab went without admit and drank from a dirty pond near the swirling doom instead. I would have chastised, but I am sure the fortress chief had arrangements. I consoled Crackmaster by downing double ration of her batch and reassuring it was well and decadent. She paid no mind and compared batch to her prickle berry experiment instead. Not two days ago we struck blind stone. It is milky like seer's eyes yet as common and prevalent as near sight. Crackmaster will have good practice on it and the fool's steel made from the dining hall walls some time ago. I hope she is inspired by lord Dakas and a ring or a statuette of solid gleaming ensues. I also hear the fresh bronze is being put to the heads and hands and shoulders of our hulking militiamen. This is very early and thus good also. I am glad to feed this many even if my sausages disappoint. Lookouts have sighted lights in the far distance past night, yet days are rainy. Tomorrow may be fogless enough for us to see visitors or invaders in proper. I hope they are visitors. scamtank fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jun 28, 2012 |

Leperflesh posted:I may patch it again to adjust exactly who can and can't scratch/bite. Whether the primitive humanoids should bite at all is really down to preference - the extra opportunity attack isn't that harmful to the combat AI, werecreatures aren't affected and vampires can still suck blood without it, but I'd rather see giants pummeling dwarves instead of chewing them. Latching is the only Real Problem since creatures tend to stick to biting and shaking for the rest of the battle once they get one good grip on the target.

Leperflesh posted:scamtank or markus or someone extracted it and posted it in the DF thread. However I've made updates to it today. Since everyone wants it, I'm going to post a zip shortly even though it's still beta. It's me, I'm the ASCII version. I'll get to work as soon as that's up. I also documented every single changed number detail (not even Vox could recall the precise changes about his weapons) into a sperglog, it might be useful for modders. I think I'll send it your way as soon as I can update it with your new additions. (ps I love my new job title in the dorfsheet) scamtank fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jul 15, 2012 |

 Discovered on the overseer's chair, somewhere past 9th of Moonstone Standing overseer: OhCrap Mountainmist Petitioner: Scamtank Sabrestraps THE PETITION IS AS SEEN: Overseer our Advisor and Heedsman. My quartering is in the earthen housing hall.  I look upon the floor. There is sand here. I look within my alcove. This is any alcove. The floor is packed tight, but still there is sand here. I look within my boots. There is sand here. I look upon my bed. This is any bed also. There is sand here. It is of miserable sleep quality. To repair I propose blocks and bricks of malachite. A paved footroad of superior architecture and pleasant green across the main corridors of the earthen dormitory hall. My grandfather and father and I have known malachite in many occurrences and it is Good Flagstone to admire. It would eventually clean bed and boot and sleep contaminants with exceptional efficiency. Enclosed is a floorplan of the earthen housing hall with courtesy to mining records. GLORIOUSLY UNDERSIGNED, scamtank
