Randomly generated weapons/armor for non-dwarf races?
« on: July 09, 2014, 03:45:02 pm »
I've looked up and down my RAWs, but they're not in there - yes, I'm using my own mod, but it doesn't include things like thin spears or curved swords.  Has anyone else seen things like this?   (playing on a 5000 year old pocket world)

I noticed 'curved shields', which weren't there before, but I'd have to go check for the other stuff.
EDIT: confirmed, I have 'jagged blowguns', 'thin mauls', and 'wavy spears' to name a few. Not sure if it's procedurally generated, but it definitely seems that way.

Those are randomly-generated items for the spoiler vaults, I think.

The internet encourages thoughtful, intelligent discussion and if you disagree I hate you.

Exactly.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

Yeah, they are supposed to stay off in those places for testing purposes, but they've managed to migrate out in various ways...

They are also visible in stockpile options but without full names. For example my armor stockpile has "Breastplates" option repeating several times, I assume the extra options are for generated item types.

It's a reverse hostage situation, if you kill the snatchers they'll fill your fort with babies.

Actually, that would be pretty awesome. A random, unusual adjective to describe any artifact weapon, like a curved platinum hammer, or a wavy steel sword, or a thin adamantine spear, or the like.

Or maybe you have a random chance of actually making a exact copy of a vault weapon.

It would give reason to the existence of vault weapons.
