Transhuman colony mod, WIP, help appreciated
« on: June 04, 2012, 12:13:34 pm »
So um...this mod has the goal of being a Sci-fi mod set on a terraformed (or if its possible, a only lightly terraformed) mars, in fortress mode you may either play as the Ultratechnological Transhumans, the hardy colonists, or the greedy corperations. with a computer building you download schematics using currency for use in a fabricator, making item creation easy. other buildings include genetic clinics where people can get a new body and cyborging clinics where you may get cybernetic implants and stuff.  The mod has new weapons such as vibroblades and monowire whips, new armor materials such as nanoarmor and such.

Civilizations to be added
Evil, subversive transhumans
Utopian Transhumans
Hardy Colonists
Dangerous Anarchists
Greedy Corperations
Free AI
And Traders, who can give you otherwise unavailable equiptment they brought in on spaceships.

We probably won't know how to help you until you give us a list of what you need help with.

I had a dream last night about Stasis chambers in DF, so if you have too many idlers and not enough food. you can place them in stasis for different amounts of time. Like 1 month 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12, 1 year 2 3 etc..

This means that super awsome fighter you had is missing his limbs but you don't have the technology to fix him yet. place him in stasis. but better yet, children. Keep them safe, until they grow up.

In general, what I need are some...like..templates for the basic interactions reactions and materials that are easy to work with, I can do most of the weapons and creatures myself along with the entities and with alot of work the languages.

the Fabricator system uses two buildings, the fabricator and the computer, the computer uses reactions to "download" schematics and coupons used in other reactions, schematics can be used again and again but are very expensive while coupons are cheap but one use, in order to download you need money. another option you have with the computer is pirating, costs no money but has a chance of causing syndromes due to computer virus, finally computers can be used for stock exchange, which may make money or may not.

the fabricator can do an interaction with a schematic or coupon to create the item it is for, fairly simple.

Money will be made... how? Is there a "converter" building in which you can turn raw materials like stone/metal into credits? also how will farming work? plants that take a year to grow? and can only be eaten cooked (reducing chances for seeds for replanting)

Or is it a forge must be built to mint coins? after you gather the gold/silver/copper ot make the money?

hmmm... maybe go with the "Doom" transporter (the movie version not the games) that transports say gems/artifacts found in mars's layers. Earth pays good money for alien items. In which you can then use money to buy what you mentioned?

What about using reactions to make a rock which will immediately explode and use a syndrome to turn the humans into cyborgs? They'll act the same way as pets, but you could probably make them war trainable.

Cybernetic Augmentations:Put these reactions into a workshop, and add reaction requirements if you want.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

There was a colony mod for an older version of DF.

Also worth looking into would be dwarven plastics.

Give that a search, could provide some inspiration  :)

Feel free to message me if you need a hand. Although i'm only a dabbling rawscrafter DF really lacks a colony mod bad

I don't care that the vacuum people are promising a blowjob machine in the future. I'll buy it then if they ever deliver.

This would involve creating a custom workshop (Stasis Chamber) and a variety of substances that boil instantly, and turn the person inhaling it into a creature ("In Stasis"?) which has [IMMOBILE][NO_EAT][NO_DRINK] and maybe some other things. Note, the person going into stasis will be fully healed when s/he comes out.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Acually I was thinking a inhaled syndrome that does this:
[CE_DISPLAY_NAME:(stasis):(stasis):in stasis]
[CE_ADD_TAG:NOBREATHE:NO_EAT:NO_DRINK:NO_SLEEP] ---- no breathe prevents soffocation form the Paralysis, also could allow the stasis chambers to be flooded.
[CE_REMOVE_TAG:PARALYZEIMMUNE]
[CE_PARALYSIS]

and maybe a cryo stasis too in which age is frozen too NO_AGING

The custom workshop acaully was the plan too, cause why would a kitchen do this? :P
