I noticed that the gutsys plasma arc is gone on all of my gutsy robots. It basically says:
Its plasma arc is burned
Its plasma arc's is gone

The only thing they have done is fireing on the crocodiles in the river, none of the crocodiles have yet to approach them (despite getting hit curiously).

Does this have to do with the plasma bolts having been changed?

Seconding this problem. My Mr. Gutsy hasn't fired a single shot as I just started a new fortress, yet I get the same message. No combat reports were seen.

Luckily they seem to do fine in combat though. One of the crocodiles decided to try its luck and wandered up. It was quickly blasted to bits.

Apparently lettuces are inedible, because I have three barrels of them and they refuse to eat them and cook them.

Luckily I got dogs to sustain me at the moment. Im glad my vegetarian girlfriend doesnt see whats going on in this game.

Ah, I see, when I "fixed" plasma bolts, I apparently made all plasma to boil away instantly, it's not a problem since the attack still attacks with the same material, but I will fix it, thank you.

That is weird, they are plants with leaves and should act the same way quarry bushes work in DF. I will check it.

[Findulidas]

How can I identify someone infected with "the thing"? Is it like in df where they are pale, "looks like they are x years old" a.s.o.

Im asking because identifying a vampire can be pretty though in df even knowing the traits they usually possess. Here I have no idea what to look for.

[Big_James_B]

Heh - I found in Adventurer Mode that all "outsider" type entities always, always had a flashing background for their graphics.

I think you can process lettuces into 5 leaves each in the farmer workshop. Which means they give a lot of food, but you need bags to store it.

It was the bags. DAMN YOU BAAAAAAAGS!

I'm gonna try Fortress Mode sometime soon - anyone got any tips, suggestions, etc., for me?

Read the game tips at page 1.

Iguanas are cats.
Have many farmers and many seeds, start growing stuff asap.
Start in a heavily forested area (for scraps, they grow as trees).

Despite what it says, dust clouds have been very weak for me.

[Big_James_B]

I was looking more for recommendations in embark and such, but I'll go and read the tips for the...fourth time now.

Well I said forested. I thought that was all you needed.

Its not much diffrent than normal df after that. A river, clay, sand, warm, good zones, flux obviously metals and not savage or evil. I guess a volcano would be optimal as well, but I doubt you could find all of that and a volcano without working with the advanced world settings.

THIS! If you take tame silkworms or cavemoths for a silk industry, please for the love of god, relocate pet iguanas and salamanders to your egg layers pasture.  Iguanas will eat your tame silkworms. Particularly when they are pets of the dwarf that goes to gather the silk.
