A little curiostiy: There are IRL horse jumpsuits: http://www.tophorse.com.au/hidez-horse-compression-suits__vicfeature_hidez__F

EDIT:
I found something in the dfhack thread: "Curiously enough, fishing works as it is. An animal person with intelligent and natural skill in fishing will go and fish. If they lack hands they will spam \"too injured to fish\", but otherwise it works fine. Hunting doesnt seem to work though, sadly. That would have been awesome."
I'm sure Replica could do something with either robots or slaves and fishing

Sorry for the lack of reports on the progress of the mod. A series of events in real life distracted me from modding for the past week. After such an extended time away from the mod it's taken me longer to put together a list of developmental goals.

I may be receptive towards outside assistance on future updates, though at the moment I'm confident I can release something by this weekend.

Thank you all for your patience.

Its all cool Lycaeon. No worries take you're time if need be

Bumping, because bump

I found another thing in the "Note to Urist" thread.

> "[NATURAL_SKILL] is your best friend. Kids of races with this tag are born with skills assigned by that, and they automatically work at any jobs using them. Say hello to child labor."
Ah, so now I get why ponies just get skill learn rates from their CMs and no NATURAL_SKILL of any kind; to prevent foals working in their chosen field until they grow up and can be assigned jobs.

I've avoided admitting it to myself for quite a while now, but at this point there's no way I can continue to do so. A combination of work (I'm currently undergoing an accelerated EMT training course for the next month) and preparations for a major exam in the coming months has not only reduced the time available for modding, but has also reduced my interest during my free time, as the thought and effort that goes into the process makes it less appetizing when compared to other activities and spending time with my family. So in short, I will be taking a break from the modding scene for the next few months.

But this doesn't mean the end of the mod. Over the months of developing it I have come to realize that a large part of its content has come from you who have played it and provided ceaseless suggestions for its improvement. I have not done much to acknowledge those contributions, and my recent silence is all the more egregious, so there's but one option left. I'm releasing my personal hold in the mod, and those of you who are interested can adopt it yourself and make any changes you wish. Fixes, expansions, etc., are all welcome. I will continue keeping tabs on the thread, and will link your DFFD versions to the top of the first post along with authors, as well as answer any questions you may have. While this is no substitute for a dedicated modder, I can no longer hold that title, and so I leave the mod to the community.

Thank you all for enjoying Fallout Equestria. It's been a blast, one that I'll never forget!

Lycaeon: Wow.

Guess it's time for me to stop putting off that Sweetie Bot project.

I was holding onto my Stable-tec-tech expansion mod and giving some ideas to Lyc, but now I'll have to brush it off and publish it. All of you who want your ponies wearing low-grade mass-produced gear, all alike, you're in luck.

It was foretold, the second worst day comes to Equestria when Lycaeon has fallen. All the realities will crumble as the mad gods of the twelfth bay rip apart existence itself and rule the scattered remains as their own. They will pour their essence into creation, all sense and direction will be lost. The foals will know nothing but the chaos, and their souls will be corrupted until nothing of Faust's remains. Then the mad gods will tear at the flesh of each other with great violence. A great hammer will fall from the greatest toads of all. In the end even discord will die. All of creation will be forgotten.

Would it be possible for you to provide us with your notes so far?

What I mean is, if someone is to take over updating the mod, they will need to know exactly what it is you do and don't want done. What have you made? What do you want made next? What are some absolute rules you want modders to follow?

I know you've told us about the various ministries and using them as modding arcs, but I would like something more specific if possible.

Unstable RAWs that were supposed to be the next release would also be of use to whoever picks up your mantle.

Wow, you weren't kidding with the mod being around 30% done.
Speaking of Deon, he made an improved tileset for walls recently.

I have an idea: People complain about having too many spark batteries, so let them convert 30-50 of them into a Power Talisman.

With the working steam engine mod, there is now a possibility for spark generator: a Power Talisman, 2-5 robotic motors, 2-5 coiled wiring and generate 300 Power. Build all connectors after the workshop and it should work.
