So, I found a bug with the Deep Furnace. The reaction to create Bloodsteel creates Voidsteel. It still requires everything needed for bloodsteel, but it looks like the product was misplaced and is instead voidsteel. The reaction that is supposed to make voidsteel still makes voidsteel though.

thanks, it's my typo.

Whoops, don't mind this post. Solved my problem.

Another slightly odd thing. I've heard you say Utility spiders are not supposed to fight. However, I just had a siege that partially consisted of 2 squads of Trolls. Two Utility spiders were able to kill 3 trolls and drive the rest off, barely sustaining a scratch.

It was a luck, a dwarf can punch one's soul gem to crush it. It's just your luck .

Utility spiders are hardcore. That was one utility spider against 5 trolls.

[Deon]

Yep, trolls lack natural skills and you cannot really strangle a spider who also feels no pain... Which reminds me, I gotta add natural skills to critters which are supposed to be deadly.

Also I am working on another release which will come soon, it will be save-compatible and will consist only of tweaks and full graphical support.

YOU'RE BLOWING MY MIND DEON!

Your speed of updates and the whole mod overall are amazing. I like the meerfolk especially.

Some small oddities: (last I checked is Genesis 5.10)
- Sausages are not made from the proper material (add the sausage material in b_detail_plan_default.txt to the [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:*_MATERIALS] entries and it works).
- Leather can not be bought on embark and traders don't bring leather. Although this might be intended, it makes it really hard to get substantial amounts of leather.
- Scarabs don't breed. To me this was odd, since you can bring male and female versions at embark.

Also how are you meant to deal with Shadowlords? They are always invisible, and flee from the squads (like necromancers) so hunting them with the military just doesn't work. (At least in the open you have no chance of ever catching them). Traps do work - sort of, but since Shadowlords have a paralyzing attack, they might (and eventually will) paralyze your dwarfs while on a trap, resulting in them getting caged - or worse, killed. Pretty annoying creature overall. If somebody found a strategy I'd like to hear it.

Making the Dark Shrine usable by Bronze Centurions is a great addition to the mod Deon..

[Fanofgaming]

Is there a manual that describes stuff like the new metals, creatures, and plants somewhere, like there was with the original Genesis mod?

[Deon]

Not yet. You will have to experiment . Well, the first post has some information in it.

I will release a fully graphical version very soon with fixes.

[Deon]

Oh shit. My utility spiders had size of 350k (like centurions) while I wanted to make them dog-sized. It explains the ownage. BRB, fixing.

Downloaded mod.
Created world.
At year Five a fortress is born.
It crumbles to dust at summer, one miner going stark raving mad, haunting the not even built halls of the fortress.
Hog-men (I think) or -men to be more general spanding attacked the caravan at the moment of creation.
The war hounds fought valiantly, but people began to die.
Then the batwings did the same.
Then it all came down to two proud and stoic dwarf.
Who did a bit of everything until one went melancholic when he went to grab a sock and saw the death and devastation of the others.
The other one lasted until summer, when he went out after a mining moment, saw the deceased friend, and went stark raving mad.
New Reclaim.
The dwarves fought off valiantly against a single mad dwarf and are now constructing.
All hail, everything is going just as predicted!
(Dwarf fortress to its finest moments)

Good luck to your fort, don't let the elves to steal your magma.
