5.13
Buildings:
- New coating vat building, use it to coat your weapons/ammo in poisons (wax worker skill). Alchemical still is useless until the next update (should be save compatible).
Materials:
- Iron-bearing ores now do not yield iron 100% of the time, only siderite is 100% iron and limonite is 90%, other ores yield less.
- New metal: titanite. Steel-grade, but lighter and sharper than steel and occurs naturally.
- New mineral: anatase. A 80% ore of titanite.
- Ilmenite yields 50% iron and 30% titanite.
- Meteoric iron is gone. Meteorite ore yields 100% titanite.
- Rutile is more frequent and can be used for glazing.
- Rutile yields 25% titanite.
Entities:
- A proper fix has been applied, other races can use leather properly too.
Plants:
- Underground plants are reworked, there are more edible plants now and there're dyes for every color.
- New poisons: fly-agaric and bloodboil poisons.
Adventure mode:
- Added custom adventure mode classes: barbarian, magician, necromancer and vagabond with starting abilities.
- Added ability to sew waterskins from leather.
- Added ability to create bitterroot, bloodboil, fly-agaric and shadowleaf poisons. Requires an empty waterskin.
- You can coat your weapons in poison. You can use multiple poisons for better effect.
Creatures:
- New cavern creature: crystal lizard. It's domestic and it can be butchered for crystal glass gems.
- Added missing graphics for chaos witch and iron titan.
- Fixed subterranean creature graphics.
- Added crawling stumps to wetland, they are weaker versions of treants.
- Added saprolings to forests and thallids to swamps, they are half-sentient plant-shroom hybrids.


I haven't added new alchemy and arena reactions, but I've added placeholders for them, so the fortress started in 5.13 should be save compatible with the upcoming 5.14.

Here's the info on new plants values for the 1st and 2nd caverns:

Bitterroot: cooked brown dye bitterroot poison
Cave wheat: - cave beer cave flour
Dimple cup: raw+cooked - mblue dye
Fly-agaric: - - red dye fly-agaric poison

Yep! Expect to see more swamp annoying monsters next update .

Thanks, easy to fix. I obviously used monitors as a base and forgot to rename that :p. I will fix that ASAP.

Dark Souls... I do have it here, but its the worst console-to-pc port that I have ever seen. I would love that game, but its unplayable with mouse/keyboard. Espcially since you cant really change anything on it, and all the ingame tutorials are for a controler, "Press A", and then its acually "x" on the keyboard... argh.

So, done with derailing, back to Genesis. ... well, now that I think of it: Saprolings and Thallids ? Sounds like good old MtG to me Fallen Empires...

[Deon]

It is fully playable, get DSfix and MouseFix, and voila! Runs better than most platformers.
And there are mods which change the button pictures too.

Okay, next version adv. mode won't be so easy, you will have to butcher spiders, scorpions and the like to get animal poison.

It means more ways to get poison for fortress mode too, though, which is good.

I also plan to add more poisonous enemies, which is both good and bad, it depends.

[Putnam]

Only four classes? Pfah

[Deon]

Good enough. I will make you to learn everything soon.

For some reason I cant move when I'm in smoke in adventure mode and neither can the NPCs. Any idea why that is?

It means you are on fire, you have to skip turns while your character freaks out, it's a common df behavior.

Where's the 5.13 Phoebus download?

[lwCoyote]

Mr Deon Sir!

Having never tried updating any version of DF from one version to another, what would be the way to tackle updating from genesis 5.12 to 5.13?

Also, can I post the link to my Genesis Reborn LP here? I'm not as good as Revocane, but still not bad =) ish!

[Deon]

Please do, I love watching let's plays. Also don't update your save, there's new stuff which is not save-compatible. If you really want to, replace /raw/ folder in your /data/save/region*/ folder with the /raw/ from the folder root of the game. But make a backup of the save first.

I haven't made Phoebus version yet.

Alright, I'll continue with 5.12 and do a later-version sometime in the future.

Thanks for the encouragement and linking-permission!
