A cube of stone is Pretty Big in this game: apparently every creature in the game, including a Blue Whale can fit in it, meaning it should be at least 25 meters cubed. But, even if we chalk that up to approximation, and things not being to scale, it's still probably about the size of a narrow hallway; about 2 meters cubed.

So, that's roughly how much stone you get out of it. Quite a bit, really. which is Far more than is used in walls. Maybe some massive, fortress walls are that thick, but when you're building a house that's definitely not.

Each block of stone you get, should certainly be used to make far more than a single wall or floor. I'd say something like, can be used to make 4 walls, of 16 floors, might be more appropriate. Certainly would make the creation of houses out of stone... or wood for that matter... much easier.

It kinda breaks immersion that right now, a single skirmish between a dwarf and an invader can last for days. Especially when we start making fancier creatures, with slow-acting venoms that only take effect after 24 hours. However, making fortress mode run at the same speed as adventure mode would make it take FOREVER.

Does anyone have any potential solutions?

I'm trying to make creatures essentially made of jelly: A thin, outer layer of rubbery material, followed by a more  jelly-like inner layer. Right now, both materials are modelled after fat, but I kinda want to figure out how to make em more "stretchy." Resistant to impact and such. One should not be able to kill the other reliably by punching them in the head, thus bruising the nucleus. I mean, a warhammer is a different story, but overall they should be more resistant to impact than other races, and should be impossible to bruise.

Right now, the most strength you can give a creature is, like, 5000. I know that by that point you are definitely getting into supernatural levels of physical prowess, probably quite a while ago too, but hey maybe I want to make a human-sized creature so strong she can punch through adamantium plate? Or maybe you want to make a regular sized bunny, albeit a voracious and carnivorous one capable of wiping out an entire legion of dwarves? Either way, I feel like 5000 is definately too restrictive a cap, especially when you also consider syndromes.

Currently it's completely blank. Who erased it all?

I think this is a game where you should go in blind. It's better this way.

It's made in RPG maker, and it's surreal and awesome.

A bit more info:

If you are in adventure mode, you should have the option of playing as a member of a race, even if they were killed in Worldgen several hundred years ago.

In this case, most people will either consider you a living fossil or (more likely) be like "what... are you?"

With a different [CONSUMESMAT:x:y:z:etc...] tag that allows for more flexibility, such as giant mosquitos that don't have preference towards sentient creatures, or bogeymen that eat the skin off of dwarves. Or ancient beasts that consume gems.
