From what I understand the main issue is the DFHack script, itemsyndrome I think, that lets respirators and I think one other thing function properly; might be hazmat suits or something. And there's the need to update (and in the process probably  balance) some stuff. If I had a vague idea of what size each thing was a quick and dirty update for the raws would be something I could do, but all the same it'd be best for Suds to take care of it.

Also: Autogun rounds should be able to blast right through steel armor. Those things are just kinetic lasguns for all intents and purposes (thier drawbacks mainly being thier ammo's considerable bulk and resources to produce it and recoil, though autoguns have a decent variety of ammo.) On that note, when it is brought up to date I have some propositions.

Spoiler: Said ideas. (click to show/hide)

Armor Piercing Munitions: Would need a new material, but the inclusion of steel in producing auto weapon ammo can be used to make hardened steel as opposed to lead rounds to best steel armor.

Incinerator munitions: Provided itemsyndrome works, impact causes the hit creature to make a small fire blast around itself, lighting the victim and potentially his allies on fire. Would require promethium to manufacture.

Possibly the inclusion of a heavy-barrel or marksman autogun for those rounds, and possibly special (and expensive to make, needing steel, additional propellant, and some kind of explosive payload) explosive rounds designed to mangle anything with the misfortune of being in the specialist autogunner's sights hitting hard and the rounds going faster if possible, to help ensure the resource investment isn't wasted.

Just a thought, and I kinda would like to shoot the shit over possible (not energy weapon) additions. Like feral orks for example.

feral orks, sounds like a very interesting idea. If you can update and enhance this mod splint, then you are a LEGEND.

I like the idea of specialised autoguns and/or incinerator rounds. In the event that itemsyndrome allows you to pull the latter off, is there something similar that could be done to make boltgun/autocannon rounds actually explosive? I suppose it wouldn't make that much difference, since they already take off limbs, but it'd be a nice touch. It would also, now I think about it, give the autocannon more reason to exist.

I have a version of Item Syndrome for DF 40.x just about ready for release, I just need to test it and do any bug fixing needed.

Supposedly you can use modtools/item-trigger together with modtools/add-syndrome, but item trigger seems to be broken. Anyway, my version will be up in a week or two once I test it and get it working. Keep an eye on the modding forum

Not sure if this has been asked before, but is this good for adventure mode?

[Jdorf]

Any word on whether this is still alive?

You just posted in a thread that has had no activity for four months.

Please draw your own conclusions.

[Jdorf]

The thread that has previously had a nine-month fallow spell and then picked up again, you mean? Many thanks.

Got very exited when I saw posts in this thread

Tis sad, I know. Kinda wondering what happened to Suds.

Didn't mean to get your hopes up, like. Would be a shame if this died the death, but there's no way I could even begin to start converting this to DF2014, dunno about youse lot (I'd be happy to help out with entity raws and the like if anybody else is up to the challenge though).

[TastyMints]

We miss you Suds. Come back to us.

[Gotham123]

hey does anyone know how to mine in this?.

[Splint]

Soil is undiggable, if that's what you're getting at. There's also bits and pieces of old Hive support structure that are too sturdy for mining drills to even scratch, nevermind dig through.

There's compressed and I think some sort of loose rubble, ores (such as scrap, carboniferous waste - basically coal - and ferrus slag - iron ore,) halite which will probably poison miners if they have the poor fortune of a boulder dropping and subsequently evaporating, since you can't give them protective gear, and of course, the hive ash, which forms the undiggable and presumably highly-toxic-to-breath-if-disrupted soil.

[Gotham123]

Okay thank you!, I figured out how to mine now.

But I have a question, I made a water still machine and all, and I made a water filling area right next to a small river, but however I cannot purify the water and that I need food storage item's (barrel's), so I went and made some barrel's but I still cannot purify water, can you please help?
