So what are the plans for casting magic?

*edit*

Also, for whatever reason, the bat ponies keep self-combusting while digging.

Self combusting? There's a odd problem....

Indeed. They dig 3-5 blocks in and then, boom, smoke everywhere and my ponies suffocate. The thing is, it only happens to the diomenden(sp?) ponies.

Also been getting a weird bug...http://pastebin.com/DNCgVrHd

[Hexatona]

Any chance on gettin' an ASCII version of 3.0 as well?

[Shadow_Hornet]

I can't wait for this mod to be updated to the new verson.

[Valikdu]

I'm actually starting to work on it now. Lost a lot of time due to being hospitalized (nothing permanent) for most of December until just now, so I'll set my CKII mod aside for a while to make an update. Maybe I'll get some new ideas to implement, too.

Spoiler: Crusader Kings II (click to show/hide)

And, since I mentioned it, I'm also making a pony-themed Crusader Kings II mod. It'll introduce new religions into the VIII century start, which will worship the Princesses (Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Twilight) and the dark entities (Nightmare Moon, Sombra, Tirek and Chrysalis), with various decisions and events, including holidays.
...For example, the followers of Nightmare will be able to torture and sacrifice captives to please Nightmare, and so will the followers of the "reformed" religion that worships the dark pantheon.
There's also a system for artifacts, with a new ambition for finding forgotten (or lost) magical weapons and regalia. I've been kind of on valve-time with it, but I've finished the initial version of event/decision code and was working on the text ("localization") when I was interrupted.

I wonder how making winged creatures naturally really good at climbing would effect things? I wonder if it could act like a substitute for not having flying work quite right all the time.

Congrats on getting better!

The adaptation for 0.42.3 itself didn't take very long, I'll test it for now.

I've made them all natural climbers. I'm not sure if this can actually help the "stuck in tree" problem, so flight is disabled for now.

[Shadow_Hornet]

I hope that the climbing will have them pathing over things even though they can't fly anymore. I just don't know how it works.

[Valikdu]

Well, the test for the 0.42.3-adapted version has existed for 6 years; nothing seems to be getting in the way of the location functions.

I'll think of some new implementations now.

[Valikdu]

...Alright, I've just had an inspiration. Endless night!
So, I'll have to make a lot of new mushroom plants to replace all the trees, which will no longer exist (except for the special ones, like the feather tree). And mushroom-trees are simpler, so it'll be less load for the CPU.

Also, I've changed things around with some of the alloys. The ones that required mithril now need star silver (and have less value); there's an alloy of dark iron and star silver called Twilight Steel (dark iron + star silver + taint crystals + coal). Creation of alloys that contain taint crystals or saronite (as well as the smelting of taintferrite, and saronite steel) now requires a Spirit Smelter building.

[Valikdu]

...Oh. So, it seems that the mushroom-capped trees are bugged as of now, and their trunk stops growing at level 1. And the cap does not generate wood.

Well. Until it's fixed, I'll have to comment out the caps. The surface will have about 20 shroom-trees for various biomes.

[Valikdu]

The inspiration doesn't let go of me.

-As there are only fungal trees in the world now, "normal" trees are gone (except for the feather trees and glumprongs, which are not processed but have an inherent value 10). Tainted wood is obtained only from creatures like timberwolves, of which there will be more.
-For convenience, butchered taintwood will be stored as 'globs' (fat stockpile), same as chitin. It is processed at the normal sawmill (the Taintwood Sawmill is gone)
-A new building, Ironbark Carpenter's Workshop, will be capable of turning taintwood logs into Ironbark using obsidian caps, and then into Steelbark using onyx spectra. Ironbark is halfway between iron and steel, Steelbark slightly superior to steel. You can make all kinds of things with them at this workshop, including weapons and armor.

-A special "tree", growing overground and underground, is the Living Adra Pillar (see Pillars of Eternity). There are also veins of adra in the ground, some of which are contaminated.
-The ex-Tainted Refinery (now Toxin Refinery) is responsible for processing contaminated adra veins. Malygite, neltharite and all the associated gems have been deprecated. Mithril creation is also deprecated, has anyone ever used it?
-The grinding of taint crystals and mixing of clay with the ground crystals has been moved to the Toxin Refinery from the Felglass furnace.
-The ex-Advanced Crystal Forge (now Adra Engineer) is responsible for processing pillar adra, and constructing arcane components using adra circuits (where previously various gems were used). Batteries are now also made there, using adra.
-Harmonic diamond reactions have been moved into a new building, the Adra Reaction Chamber. Creation of a harmonic diamond now uses adra.

-The amounts of catalysts used for most reactions has been re-examined.
