starting embark points
« on: December 16, 2009, 01:09:35 am »
What effects how many points you have to spend at the embark screen? For some unknown reason I only have 200, with nothing purchased at all. I've made a bunch of mods to things so I'm sure it's something I did. Any idea where to start looking?

Thanks!

Have you pressed tab to check your items, or am I just assuming you haven't done that? I know that you normally start off with 200 if you've got your starting items ready.

Do you have a custom civ, perhaps? This happened when I played Kobold Camp. It seems you have whatever starting gear + 200 extra points. So, if you don't have starting gear the game can recognise, you will only have the 200 extra points.

Right now Rampages seem to be Godzilla quietly walking into Tokyo, biting the leg off of one reporter... then creeping off again without a sound.

I missed a ":1" in a biome token for my modified dwarfs.

What actually happened is they lost the ability to bring any underground related items at all (booze,seeds etc). and it still only left me with 200 points.

Had me freaked out for a minute though.
