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.

If I remember correctly, frog moss has had effects ranging from nausea and vomiting to increased skill gain and delusions. Overdosing can cause strange temporary personality changes.

We could try to put a syndrome in the drink that causes those effects, but I don't know if drinking a syndrome liquid transfers the syndrome.

Seeing as you get vampirism by drinking vampire blood it should be possible to make a drink that has a syndrome. [SYN_INGESTED] is the necessary tag I think.

I have to commend you all for this thread. It is true dwarfy madness. It is on par with Boatmurdered for reading enjoyment.

[Cynm]

I've looked it up and it should be possible. I'll see if I can make some raws and test them out. I'll post them if they work.

We already do have frog moss in the SB mod. I'm just worried about what it'll do to my workers.

[Mr Frog]

First mention of the effects of frog moss:

The cave moss experiment was a failure. I’m still tasting sounds and have only recently started to regain feeling in my extremities.
On the plus side, the potent neurotoxic and psychoactive effects give me hope that, once I’ve isolated the active compound, we’ll be able to make millions selling the stuff for military and recreational purposes.

So, numbness/paralysis and sensory hallucinations. Yummy. Guess increased skill gain was a later addition?

Also, holy wow was Mr Frog's characterisation different way back when. He was still an ill-tempered self-absorbed cynic with a badly-defective moral compass, mind, but he also had this sort of dissonant optimism that was rather-creepy IMHO. Wish I/we had kept that.

So I think that in the course of six hours of nonstop playing yesterday, I've got the gist of dwarf fortress again, so when the new thread starts, I'll definitely be there for a turn. I still haven't gotten into half of the farming stuff or any of the newer features, but the thing that really bothers me is this: I have a stone stockpile marked and thirty or so idling dwarves. WHY WON'T THEY PICK UP ANY OF THE STONE LYING AROUND.

So yeah... frog moss...

[Cynm]

It was either skill gain or increased speed, and it was mentioned in (I think) one of the later journals.
Both skill gain and speed increases can be done with syndromes. I like the idea of frog moss having a beneficial effect, in addition to the numbness and hallucinations. I also like how frog moss is now almost canon.

[Aseaheru]

Frogmoss sounds sorta like booze in one mod verson of DF.

DFFS.

[Mr Frog]

WHY WON'T THEY PICK UP ANY OF THE STONE LYING AROUND.

My immediate thought is that you have the stockpile in question marked to use wheelbarrows but don't actually have any wheelbarrows.

[Aseaheru]

They still haul to it then.

[Mr Frog]

Numbness could be seen as a good thing in itself, seeing as how it makes the victim immune to pain.

E: Also, gotta love how two of our formerly-most-active contributors have now returned after the fortress has already ended (three if you count that I'm now posting and contributing to discussion regularly again, and consider me to have been at some point 'active').

EE: Also, Asea is both spelling and punctuating correctly and has just managed to possibly correct me on a gameplay fact. *sniff* I'm so proud.

[Cynm]

It could be that the stockpile is set to only take stone from a specific source. Also, I think that when a stockpile has wheelbarrows, dwarves will only use the wheelbarrows to haul stuff. So it could be that stone is being hauled, just not by everyone. I would try unassigning the wheelbarrows.

Did not know that it was at that point yet. I blame SS13.
And my refusal to bring wheelbarrows with me on embark.

[Terrahex]

This is embarrassing. I was going to save my fortress when I accidentally abandoned it... maybe I was the one on frog moss...

[Aseaheru]

Oh god, ever see something you did once and just scream at how bad it is?

Well, i saw a post I made around six months ago...
