New Buildings
« on: May 09, 2016, 02:57:39 pm »

Steam Mill Burns Fuel or magma into Power. Expensive to build and even more to maintain, is a little better than a mill, or water wheel, but produces steadier raw power. Can blow or cause a fire if poorly maintained, and also makes heavy pollution.
Void Pits A kind of supernatural structure which turns raw souls into what is called Aether by proponents or Dark Matter by detractors. Itīs operation wonīt cause NO accidents or random supernatural events.

Aether Reactor: Turns Dark Matter Rods into aethricity a special kind of energy used for a variety of things- channel Power almost without losses through aethric wires and also power modern machinery that run just on it.

Battery Workshop: Produces and recharges batteries which can be used, for example, in the production of Aethric Minecarts. Power can be also charged inside batteries for exporting as Raw Power. An Overcharged Battery can explode and may cause an Aethric Creature to spawn, or infect the affected creatures with Aethric Radiation.
Tabulating Workshop A room containing the pinnacle of Dwarven tech: an analogical steampunk calculator. After being built and wasting away a whole bunch of resources, it can be used to speed up research, research even more advanced tech, and even helping to enhance a little the admnistration of the colony. It can be upgraded by building specific advancement and through the reading of sufficientAethergnetic Tapes provided by a Record Shop.

Record Shops: Can record your singer, performer or politician performances in Talkograms in which their performing can be sold as Raw Fun or Raw Inspiration, copy Artwork into Mass Reproductions of dubious value but widespread selling, and by similar ways produce Raw Knowledge, etc... Also produces Aethergnetic Tapes which are renditions of books in machine format. May be a legend, but a dead or heavily aether-radiated creature can be turned by it in a Personality Tape, an item of the most evil, eldritch lore.

Automagolem Assembly Create Special creatures, the Automagolems or simply Autolems made to obey and serve. Can be pre-programmed with Aethergnetic Tapes made by Recorder Shops, and a Personality Tape may be used to create an Mark V Automagolem, the most advanced, yet less controlable type. Its not known what happens if one programs excessive A. Tapes in just one Golem or try to place more than one P. Tape in one Autolem CPU.
Autolems can be made with a Routine Tape instead, which makes them just follow some pre-set orders and routines, like killing any being in sight, any being not Dwarf, any being not humanoid, etc..., being named in this case Routine Golems. The danger in this is that they can be hacked by enemies who simply manage to put another tape on them, or have their tape displaced or erased by some kind of attacks and become berserk or idle.

Other types include the Aethronic Golems, which have an Aethronic Brain which allows a little more complex reasoning, and Remote Guided Golems, which can be guided by a Tabulating Workshop with a Aetherwave Trasmitter installed, and act almost as having a will. Alternatively, any type of Golem can be fitted a cabin and become mountable by a Dwarf, becoming a Mech-golem. Itīs not know what happens when a Dwarf mounts a Mech-Golem with a R. Tape made from a loved one or an eldritch being.

Sounds like mod material.

Do you mind moving this and your other sci-fi ideas to the mods section? It's neat and all, but I'm not sure what you hope Toady is going to get from reading these threads besides less time to work on Dwarf Fortress, a fantasy game which is never going to be a sci-fi game.
