Woohoo I'm back!
It asks about Universal_Max rough gems...what are those? The wiki is a little bare.
<EDIT> Nvm I see now I see now that it is an DIAMOND_U4 I guess that those are somewhere close to the magma layer?
As far as I remember from half a decade ago, DIAMOND_U4s are just normal diamonds, which you can find in kimberlite or something along those lines. Also they're a real pain to find and I can never get enough.
Is there a way to have this mod without, yknow, the brony part?
There isn't a quick and easy way of doing it, no. You would have to spend a couple of hours manually going through the RAWs and modifying/replacing/removing anything pony related with a non-pony equivalent.
There's also the whole caste-based magic thing.
Oh, hey. Welcome back. Like what you see so far?
Yeah, nice work!
Please ignore the whole two-years late thingIn any case, now that I feel like getting back into modding DF, I'd like to bring the mod up to speed with 0.47. There are several ideas I'd like to try:
1) Salvage is split into two categories: the "trees" and the "plants". One thing I missed about the old 0.34 version was the veritable fields of salvage, which was super thematic. I was thinking the "trees" represent relatively intact buildings uncovered over time, with high-value salvage inside, while the "plants" represent the more scattered salvage a la 0.34. The rate of growth and frequency of "tree" salvage will probably be dialed waaaay back.
2) 0.47 added in a whole bunch of stuff regarding interactions. It'd be fun to play around with them. Still no item or reaction-conferred interactions though.
3) I can't remember which version it is but mundane researchable secrets have been introduced. I'd like to do something fun with those. Pre-war tech anyone?
4) There are now proper interaction tokens to support restoration spells.
5) I think the expedition system can be reworked to mesh properly with the one implemented in DF. There is a great deal of overlap from what I can see.
In any case, I have some reading to do since my memories are a bit patchy. I would also like to mention that this mod has completely ruined normal DF for me. Now, when I play all I can think about is how survival used to be such a struggle.
