My civ discovered ruck nuts etc. pretty late?
« on: June 10, 2012, 02:25:18 pm »
So here I am at the trading screen, picking what I want for next year when I pass through the "seeds" category and notice there are new options. I come back to the category and see that I now have the option to order rock nuts, cave wheat seeds, sweet pot seeds etc. Basically the seeds you'd expect from a dwarven caravan.

But the strange part is that I distinctively remember having only plump helmets as an option in that category. I am sure of this because those damn hippies were taking too long to bring me some sun berry seeds and I wanted to see if my civ could get me some. (I got them later anyway) But I am absolutely positive those choices were NOT there. I do not remember if they were on the embark screen because I only stack plump helmet seeds at the start and buy the others from the passing caravans in the first year or so (if I needed them)...

I also remembered that last year my liaison was ready to pay me double the value for seeds so I sold the suckers 100 bags or so, don't remember if they contained any of those though.

Back to the point: I thought rock nuts, pig tails and those plants were available all the time and needed no discovery or something? Or am I just delusional or something? My memory has failed me many times before...

either they have it or they don't. Caravans don't always bring it though unless you ask for it

Likely you're conflating the Plants category with Seeds.

The only plants traders bring are ones that are edible raw, and of the dwarven plants only plump helmets are edible raw.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Also, you may have embarked with a different civ. If there are multiple dwarven civilizations, then I think you're automatically added to the closest one - you can check to see if there is more than one by pressing 'Tab' on the site selection screen. (A couple of times - I don't know the exact number of key presses.)
