Uhm, no. You probably pick such regions, and remember that embark time is early spring. The maps are the same as in vanilla, just with 0 generated secrets/weather/regional curses to allow custom ones (when you generate advanced world).

I settled on the name "vulcanite".

Meteoric iron is like steel for now, but it will have bonuses against a certain type of enemy which appear in the mod soon.

I have generated 5 worlds, and picked warm with wood land. They all turn out to be the same map. No trees and frozen water

How do you make it?

Send me a save please.

Meanwhile, I am trying to add steam engines from DFHack thread.

[Deon]

Amazing, DFHack minds helped me to add steam engines. Now if only I could find a way to make workshops to require power, then sawmill and a few foundries would require it. We'll see what dfhack guys will say.

Awesome. She is that great because she was born in -119. A human born at the same time would die of old age BEFORE the world was created. How badass is that?

Nah, the pantheon did not create the world at year zero, that year is when the primitive tribes figure out they can Spread and Wage War.

[Wiro]

Maybe I'm missing something, but any chance we might see this mod with Phoebus Tileset?

5.6
- DFhack and Dwarf Therapist come with the game.
- Removal of most of double-named gems. The gem types are just a few now, it's easier to understand and a preparation for the alchemy update.
- New alloy - vulcanite. Requires adamantine, obsidian and Deep furnace. A dense/heavy version of adamantine with better cutting edge.

- Big overhaul of cave populations. Lots of new animals and insects with custom bodies.
- Cavern layer 1. Theme - caves. Insects, slimes and slimy animals.
- Cavern layer 2. Theme - underground jungle. Amphibians, giant insects and weird creatures.
- Cavern layer 3. Theme - hollow caves (wasteland). Giant sandworms, wasteland type animals (dwarven robots will be here soon).
- Magma layer and magma pools: new creatures and rework of existing ones. Ifreet, imp, hellbat, magma rock, fire spirit and magma guardian.

- Any dwarf can now throw a rock at his enemy from time to time (interaction).

- New workshop: Tinker's workbench.
- Tinker: make axebows here (a hacking crossbow, uses hammer skill to keep your hammer-crossbow dwarves useful in melee and avoid treecutting).
- Tinker: make soulgems from copper bars and small gems.
- Tinker: make bronze centurion frame from many bronze bars.

- New workshop: Soul forge.
- Soul forge: animate centurion. Requires bronze centurion frame, soulgem and a dwarf. Dwarf transforms into bronze centurion.
- More constructs are scheduled, I am reworking them.

- New workshops: steam engine and magma steam engine.
- Build them over a downstairs tile which leads to water.
- Stock boiler (uses coal) to power up the workshop. Then you can connect axles and gears to the tiles with gears on the workshop to get power.
- If the reaction is not there, you have not built the steam engine over downstairs leading to water.

- Lots of small additions I cannot remember right now.



I forgot to add some stuff I want, like cavern bees into the underground jungle and some gem shapes. I need to run now, my wife waits for me in a shopping center.

Next update will include those minor things, as well as new alchemy update. The fact that I am using DFHack now allows me to do fancy stuff. Like alchemical brewing of poisons which you will be able to apply to weapons to make them poisonous.

DFFD is down for now, so I re-uploaded the mod files to Mediafire.

Maybe I'm missing something, but any chance we might see this mod with Phoebus Tileset?

The problem here is that I can manage working with two versions (ASCII/Ironhand) using Winmerge (although it leads to some errors). Working with 3 versions is 3 times harder and will bring more problems and possible bugs. In the future, quite possible, but right now I am focused on core mod mechanics. You can ask someone else or port the mod to Phoebus yourself using utilities like Raw Tile Selector with ease.

Hey, guys. Sorry if I'm completely missing something, but I'm new to using mods on DF. Whenever I try to use genesis, it says "The program can't start because fmodelx.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I looked, and fmodelx.dll is there. Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to ask how you made anything that requires water, and/or produces power ?

[Putnam]

DFhack has the functionality by default.

[Deon]

Yes, it's a dfhack library, and I plan to study DFhack a bit more to expand the modding possibilities. Modding pure RAWs becomes a bit too tight for me, I want more.

It's probably DFHack issue, did you try to put that DLL in your system32 folder?

Could that mess up my computer? I am computer illiterate, and I had to look up what system32 was, and it said most of the files are vital for my computer to function. Is it safe to put the file in there?

If you paste the DLL to there and doesn't get a note about replacing files, then it's usually safe. Though that assumes that it's not a malware, which DFHack shouldn't be.

I don't uses DFHack so I don't know if it'll fix it!

[Deon]

Ask in DFHack thread why did your problem happen in the first place. I can run it without any additional copy-pasting.

[CaptainArchmage]

Just a little request:

Would you be able to provide the plain raws (just the raws) as with the previous version please? Its just that I can download and install DFhack myself and its a smaller download just to get the raws.
