##################################
######    PATCH 1.9         ######
##################################

 - Updated to DF 34.08
 
 - Modded grass, evil grass and good grass for more flavor.
 - Doubled/quadrupled amount of gunpowder made in the ammo mint.
 - Archeologist need 5 stones, instead of 10 for excavation.
 - Arc Furnace now makes 4 bars from one bag of ore-powder.
 - Brick Oven now makes 4 bricks from 1 boulder, or 4 ornamental bricks from 2 boulders.
 - Crucible can now "cold hammer" metals with 1 ore for 2 bars. 50% as effecient as the smelter reaction with fuel.
 - 6 new reactions for the Arc Furnace: Cold hammer" metals. 1 ore for 2 bars. 50% as effecient as the normal reaction.
 - Blast furnace now makes batches of 12 bars, instead of 6, using 3 ore for it.
 - All fuel/coke producing reactions are untouched, because of logic. If everything makes 4 times as much bars, then you need 4 times less coal to make the same amount of bars. And since coal drops only 25% of the times now, this is balanced automatically.
 - Removed "research magic tomes" from tech lab and splitted it into two.
 - Added 3 new reactions to tech lab: Recreate dwarven rune/grimoire of death/tome of life. 9% sucess chance.
 - Thatchery now makes 4 blocks instead of 1.
 - Changed "distill tears of armok" to "extract water from a tear of armok" which fills a bucket with water, but preserves the tear of armok.
 - 6 new reactions for the transmutation chamber. Transmute the adv. metals.
   - 2 wolfram for titanium and back, 2 mithril to slade and back, 2 cobalt to chrome and back.
 - Rebalanced Craftsdwarf, Stonecutter and Rockforge. You need either less boulders, or get more products.
 - Boneyard now makes 4 blocks from 1 stack of bones.
 - Added [HEATDAM_POINT:NONE] to magmamancer. They were fireimmune_super, but just to make sure...
 - Edited the Automaton entity... hopefully they bring weapons next time.
 - Fixed all the 255 tiled creatures that were invisible in ASCII mode.
 - Updated the Manual
 - Removed the buildings section from the manual, and instead linked to the building guides, they are better then text.
 - All buildings guides updated.
 - Upped layer permit of plate greaves
 - Fixed Parchement/Parchment naming error
 - Updated Mouse Fortress and Dwarf Therapist to df 34.08
 - Added speared and bladed minecarts
 - Sorted the entity_default into catergories. Much nicer to read.
 - Added [DO_NOT_CLEAN_GLOB] to slade and copper, so that turret ammo is certainly not collected anymore.
 - Added new building: Great Magma Forge
    - Makes Obsidian and Slade
    - Creates Weapons and Armor from volcanic. A new material, composed of steel, obsidian and slade.
    - Volcanic is half as good as adamantine and makes triple damage against Frost Giants.
 - Frost Giants now drop a "bifrost" boulder upon death. This can be made into a bifrost bar in the Creature Research Lab.
 - Bifrost is almost (80%) as good as adamantine.
 - Slade Metal is now (20%) as good as adamantine.
 - Iridium is now (60%) as good as adamantine
 - Splitted gemworkshop into gemcutter and gemforge.
 - Gemcutter needs 3 cut gems to be build and makes furniture and tools.
 - Gemforge needs 3 large gems to be build and makes weapons/armors/decorations.

Special Thanks
Zenerbufen for his fast linux and mac updates. And the idea of the html-based manual.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

PTW, thanks for the quick update Meph. Does this work with .09, the new bugfix? I'm going to merge it and see if it does without any issues.

[Meph]

It will work, there are only 2 raw changes, the coal balancing. I have a 34.09 version ready to be uploaded already, BUT I have to wait for mouse fortress, dwarf therapist and dfhack to updte to 34.09 as well. So yeah, I am set. Update wont take long I guess.

[Seanzo42]

Thanks muchly 

[Meph]

Yep, took only one day. New version 1.9.1 is out, with a working Therapist, Mouse Fortress, AND dfhack, the beta version done by quietust.

[Meph]

Minor Updates, the Mod is now done for 34.11. Link is in my signature. Have fun. 

[Meph]

Again, a little bump, because of the new update. Minor bugfixes and balancing, only, since I am still travelling.

[Meph]

Feeling a bit bad for posting four times in a row here, please excuse this.

Added Slaughterhouse system. Megabeasts now leave corpses instead of skill aether.
Megabeast corpses can be butchered in the slaugherhouse for 3 things:
1 Skill aether, 1 trophy (decoration or tradegood) and 1 special reward specific to the killed beast.
Added bitteroot and shadowleaf poison, directly taken from Genesis. This is a testrun. I will wait for feedback upon the "coat weapon/ammo" mechanic and see where I take it from there.

Special thanks to:
- Deon, because I blatantly stole the bitterroot/shadowleaf poisons for testing purposes.
- Falconne, for his dfhack plugins. Seriously, check them out.
- My brain, for keeping me awake till this was finished.
- You guys, for showing the patience. First update in 3 months, yeah. *dead.

Personal note:
- This entire thing is pretty much untested. I run 2 very short test forts, checked the errorlogs, did debugging on the GUI, but havent run every single reaction one by one. I do hope that I killed more bugs then I created, and wish everyone happy bug-hunting
I do know of one cosmetic bug in the GUI: If you enable orcs, close the gui and reopen it, the logo will still show a dwarf. The button will correctly show that you selected orcs however, so this is a very minor concern.

[Meph]

Just remembered this old thread... thought I might dig it out again. Current mod version is V.2h by now, and thanks to dfhack does many things unheard of so far. Including fixing many hardcoded vanilla bugs.

For example weaponracks can store weapons now, and armorstands can store armors... quivers dont clog up with training ammo, military squads train properly and dont get bad thoughts from being on duty, while being on break.

All in all, just have a look. I know this is not the modding section, but its a massive mod pack, with bugfixes and utilities. More like a mod LNP
