Genesis has a manual? This I did not know.

It's in the first post in huge letters and I've spent quite a lot of time making it .

[Big_James_B]

Ah, I see it now. Never really played much of Genesis, and as I've probably said before I enjoy Adventurer Mode a lot more than Fortress mode - except for this one time I made a Dark Elven Gulag...oh that was fun. 
*ahem*
Now, back on topic...

[Deon]

If you enjoy adventure mode more than anything, Genesis is the most adventure mode based mod out there. I plan to make Fallout adv. mode centered too.

[Big_James_B]

Heh, I've probably caught you in transit Deon. I'm pulling an all nighter myself.
Fallout is pretty Adventure Mode ready as it is, although it does very much capture the "rogue-like" style of gaming rather than the other mods I've played. I might go and give Genesis a try.

So, I'm playing Fortress Mode and every few migrant groups a Trader walks onto the map. A lone trader, and he just stands one square away from the edge of the map. Thing is, I think he has goods or something as I've seen some goods flagged as "don't touch" without me dumping them.

[Deon]

It's a vanilla bug, there's a DFHack to fix that, I might dig it up. Basically it's a migrant who thinks he's a merchant.

Fallout is not so much adventure centered yet. Yeah, Roguelike element is here, but you cannot mine/dig or build workshops yet. Wait until the next release of my mod.

[Kamin]

This looks sick. Deon, you never cease to amaze me. I can't wait until I'll have the time to play this bad boy.

I have a question about long growing season for the plants: what is the right setup of season/growth?
Take wheat for example - it can be grown at Spring/Summer/Autumn.
So, if I want to grow it, I should set it to grow wheat on spring+summer+autumn and fallow on winter?
Or I must set it to grow on spring, and fallow rest of the year so now new sowing will occur in summer/autumn?

Thanks.

[Deon]

There's no "sowing" until it grows, so you can fully dedicate farm plots. However if the plot is outside and it's cold/snowing in the winter, the plants will die during winter, so you should either make a greenhouse or plant them in the spring.

A new awesome version is coming up, let me upload it.

If a crop has a planting season of spring, it should ONLY be enabled during spring. In general, you should plant crops only on the season they become available, not after that.

Here's a breakdown:

Note that bonuses from power armor, tactical helmet and flamethrowers work a bit weird. When you equip them it takes some turns for them to kick in.

To shoot the flamethrower, Travel after you equip it, or wait a bit. After a few steps (generally when you notice speed boost due to power armor str. bonus) you will get an interaction to shoot your flamethrower, it's in your x-> acquired power.




Be careful with napalm grenades, their explosion radius is quite big.


(The radius is encircled with yellow circle).

A new general tip to everyone who plays adventure mode: if you think you've genned an interesting world, dedicate some of your time with one adventurer and build a base in easily accessible location.

Note that only lairs save all info about constructions and items, so find a creature lair next to a big city you know how to get to, and get crafting.

Build carpentry workbench, tinkering machine-tool and finally assembly line and you won't have to worry about tools and armor for your future adventurers: they will be able to come to your base with scrap and craft their own things.

How different are the init files? Can I just copy those over? (Saves, too- but my guess is that those won't cooperate with the new version very well...)

[Aseaheru]

Woo! I can play this without bugging people to unzip it for me!
Thank you!

[Deon]

interface.txt has a changed 'adventure mode - wait' button to Numpad0.
Saves are totally different. It should not bother you though, since it's mostly adventure mode update so you can keep playing the old version fort. The only good thing for fortress mode (well besides power armor and tactical helmets) is ability to make various robots.

Sorry for not including your North America map. I don't know what's wrong with me, I try to remember so many things I want to do for the next version that I tend to forget important ones

I will use your map in this succession game: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123357.0
And I will add it for future versions.
