Changing the look of your fortress with Dwarf Paint
« on: December 05, 2011, 10:43:48 pm »
I play fortress mode almost exclusively, and I am often despairing at the non-uniformity of my fortress in general, since it is built into several different mineral veins.  But then it struck me, I would presume it would be fairly easy to add wall paints, and this is a technology easily thousands of years old, so could there be a way to make paints with which to decorate your fortress walls, increase the worth of a room, and, by happy coincidence, keep your whole fortress a uniform colour? 

I'd really appreciate it, and so would my OCD

Dwarf Fortress: The only game where people will hold a logical discussion about why dwarves are putting on clothes.

OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Ironically, the secret rite to summon Footkerchief is to post a suggestion that's been previously suggested.

Edit: Probably not actually irony. Oh well.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.
