Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

You died in an alternate run that was caused by The Master accidently'ing an outpost liaison.

[Terrahex]

Oh master, you get into the craziest shenanigans. Sorry for the trouble. I feel guilty for abandoning this story after i promised so many times to write.

[Splint]

Don t feel bad, I'm ina slump with my own projects and I never finished my parts of the timewar.

[Cynm]

Well, we'll have a whole sequel to fill in the plot holes left by this story. Should be plenty of opportunity to write.

[Terrahex]

I just started rereading the doc. It's getting me jazzed up abou DF again. When i get home, i think i'll give it another go, but i've got a lot of stuff to catch up on, not to mention all the rust i've accumulated in the year or two since i last played

Ok, so bump and I just read this while re-reading the dfhack readme.

Siege Engine

The siege-engine plugin enables siege engines to be linked to stockpiles, and aimed at an arbitrary rectangular area across Z levels, instead of the original four directions. Also, catapults can be ordered to load arbitrary objects, not just stones.

I instantly thought:

Dear god, mugapults....Mugapults could be a reality... THIS IS FUCKING GENIUS!!!

Is that odd?

I'm not familiar with dfhack, but does this mean there will be Mugapults?
If so, I preemptively claim a dorfing of a siege engineer/mechanic. Unless Splint wants, as this was HIS brainchild.

[Cynm]

Speaking of siege weapons, will there be a mounted railguns? I remember a conversation about them, but I don't recall what the decision was.

[Aseaheru]

I think we cant make siege weapons so it would have to be a "animal".

[Splint]

It would indeed be possible to have something akin to an emplaced rail cannon "workshop" and have a dwarf be transformed into a weapon operator for a short time (with the temporary transformation's wearing off meaning they ran out of slugs to fire)

[TalonisWolf]

I think he's implying they communicate through pheromones?

EDIT:@Baffler

Don't take any of this personally, Mr.Frog just wants the best for his brainRAWs(brainchild as well?).

HellSpearbreakers, that applies to everyone in this thread, if you really think about it. The !!FUN!! has captured ourhearts dwarfiness.

This is really sweet. And I'm not even being sarcastic --

WAIT.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Did I just make Mr Frog mad?

Please, make my death at least slightly less painful...or at least entertaining.

[Splint]

He didn't decide to tear out your entrails and shove frog moss down your throat to make you final moments one of the worst trips ever, so I think you're good.

[Cynm]

Is "frog moss" going to be included in the mod? It could be a gather able plant (not farmable) that brews into an alcohol which causes nausea, disorientation and increased skill gain. (If everything that's been said about it is canon)

Hey, that's a pretty cool idea, if only we could implement that. I remember something about someone suggesting coffeehouses for dwarves, but it was kind of hard to make. I dunno, an interaction that creates boiling coffee fumes that temporarily increase some attributes, I dunno

[Mr Frog]

*blinks*

Wait, is frog moss a thing now? Has absolutely every single silly joke I made both in- and out-of-character now officially managed to become entrenched within the canon?

E: I'm assuming this derives from the small gag I did with Mr Frog trying to brew cave moss.

[Splint]

I believe so. I don't remember the exact effects but I know know it wasn't always positive.
