Found the thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=80022.0

Apparently, bay12forums is the leader in saguaro density calculations, for that thread is the first when you search (in Google) for "saguaro wood density"!

Sigtext acquired, unless you do mind.

I do not mind at all! First sig: quite exciting.

Wait, so someone other than the Tarn brothers has had access to the source-code?

On topic - I would say no.

It established a groundwork for various concepts that will get expanded as time goes on; yes it was really buggy at first, yeah there was a lot of "It was inevitable", yeah there was a lot of "crow looked at you funny" events in the quest log, but overall I would say it was still fun as far as adventure mode goes - new combat features, a more alive world, bigger trees, expanded dialogue. It was all very rough, but it was kinda amusing in that way, atleast to me personally.

Keep in mind all of this is still pretty much an alpha-stage. For a game in that state, made by only one person with occassional contributions from other people, all this combined with the newest version and older ones is still a massive amount of content and depth.

Ah, yes. The joy of adventures in late-night posting.
