On another note I embarked on a Hot area, and I think my citizens are sweating out blood.

it is possible...I had a hot zone embark and everything was fine until i saved and reloaded...then all my pet giant ants melted (only wild animal that ever showed up...so I tamed them)...and people started oozing fat trails everywhere...think it's a vanilla DF bug tho.  at least I remember something similar in vanilla bug reports.

Some areas may be too hot, it's really rare but can happen.

You can keep that thing as your militia commander, just you wait until it gets injured and manifests itself...

[DwarfOfTheLand]

Absolutely gorgeous.  First mod I'll ever use for DF. How do I use the mod?

[Deon]

Download it and play. Also read the first post, there's a lot of info you may want to know. Or keep it open as a manual.

[Pokon]

Oh god, my first migrant wave had a Thing in it, and it murderkilled everything.

It was a nice starting spot, too.

I don't know if it a bug.
In military screen, I create a archery group then choose a memeber.
When the highlight is on the right side that name list, press e then game crash.
I try to highlight at middle the group member list and press e, no crash and go to choose equipments list.

All over the Masterwork thread. Download the newest version of falconne's utility plugins.

[Deon]

Ah, thanks for mentioning it, I will release a new version with fixed dfhack plugins.

[Meph]

yes, you need to update the mousequery plugin for the right-click crash, and the search plugin for the crash when pressing 'e' in the military menu.

Supermutants are only friendly to other supermutants from the same town. They will attack anyone else.

(This was said a while ago but I'm not going to read over 30 pages to see if there's been any discussion on this.)
Can I ask why this is? Even during the Master's era super mutants didn't just attack civilisations on sight and tended to just occupy areas and take prisoners without violence until the final stages of the FEV scheme. After the downfall of the Master they largely just carried on as any other sapient creature would, with at least two well documented instances of peaceful super mutant civilisations with alliances and trade routes etc., and were purely at the mercy of humans outside of that. They aren't a substitute for ogres, Bethesda just went full retard with their depiction of them in 3.

[Deon]

It's how DF handles high banditry (in adventure mode only!). I wanted supermutants to attack adventurers and raid cities, and LOCAL_BANDITRY does that (it also greatly increases sizes and frequency of ambush parties).

[Dwarven War Boar]

I see. Don't get me wrong, the mod looks brilliant, I'm just a long term Fallout fan and a huge canon whore so the evil super mutants just put me off a little bit.

[Mrhappyface]

Hey Deon, how are you going to do the manual for the Fallout Mod? Just curious.

[Rumrusher]

He could just make another race of super mutants that are docile.

Oh yeah, Deon. I did some research on glass for one of my reports. Since we have access to arc furnaces in this version of the game, we should be able to smelt quartzite into clear glass.

Another thing that I found out that was interesting is how ceramic armor plates are made. A bit dumbed down, but it could be done.
Borax is crushed into fine powder.
The crushed powder is mixed with sulfuric acid in an arc or high oxygen furnace.
The resulting compound (boron trioxide) is mixed with a source of carbon again in a high temperature furnace.
The resulting powder (boron carbide) is then put inside a kiln and superheated to 2200ºC.
Said powder is then pressed and cooled into a mold.
Now we have ceramic plates! Just don't drop them because they shatter easily.
