Items missing from Embark!
« on: October 27, 2015, 10:56:57 pm »

EDIT:
LMeire, slay_mithos, Thank you for you help. The kobold race was the problem, thank you for the suggestion LMeire, changing it to dwarf totally fixed it.










Using 40.24 - V.006 - Last Update: 27th March


Sutremaine suggested I post my missing items problem to the MW forums, and I think this is it so I'll post the problem here.

When I start DF through MW, make my map, and finally get to the embark screen, when I try to add new items like pickax or hatchet they are not there. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I need to enable something though MW but I cannot add the items I need before I start the game.

Code: [Select]

So, I downloaded LNP and the items that are not in MW (like pickax and hatchet) are in LNP, I don't understand why. Same thing with vanilla, the items I want to add are there, but masterworks is the only one that has these items hidden or removed. Those aren't the only items missing, there are a bunch from how small the list is.


Thank you for your help!

Well, this is Masterwork, not the LNP, so there will be differences.
One of those being that no "training" weapons can be used as tools to cut trees and dig.

Also, both axes and pickaxes have 2 types the cheaper ones to be used as tools, and the weapon ones, to be used in the military.

The tools are usually available in copper (the cheapest at embark).

It is ok, I'm used to that in RL so why should my game be different :p

What race are you trying to play as? IIRC, kobolds don't have access to pickaxes by design.

I know MW is not LNP, I'm trying to make a simple comparison bast off the fact I cannot start my adventure with any pickaxes or hatchets period.

I was not trying to get training weapons as substitute for my mining tools ect...

I'm still very, very new to the game, I just want my pickax, however, I cannot get it, its not in the embark menu.

Not possible, they do not show up.

I didn't even know I was able to choose a race, shows how much I'm new to DF. I just start DF through MW and play on. Maybe that's the problem, I will investigate.[/size]

You should probably start with vanilla DF.

Kobolds do not have access to rock, metal or pickaxes by design. They only work with wood, animal parts, clay, sand...
