Yes. Text gets cut off too often.

No. I dont care/like the names as they are.

Dont you have anything better to do then making such tiny adjustements?

And what is the appropriate doctor skill? I use each one of the medical skills for one type of upgrade. Studying live creature is impossible, because I cant use live creatures in reactions.

[Putnam]

The appropriate doctor skill would be diagnosing, I'd say.

[Billy Jack]

I appreciate all the work you put into this, but I'll just let you know that I won't use any of these dyes or paints.

Regarding workshop sizes, I think that everything works fine as it is.  Maybe I don't have the most efficient templates, but everything works great in my template set.

[silentdeth]

What if you just have a hand? Or a partial skeleton? Do those still count as corpses?

[Repseki]

I would definitely think Diagnosing.

Quick unrelated question. Where do you make journals? My new Baron is asking for one, and while he is patient, it would be nice not to lose him right away.

[Meph]

Journales are crafts, just make a few batches of rock crafts...

I dont want to use diagnosing for everything, I splitted it evenly to all medical skills. Otherwise it would be very easy to get legendary diagnosers.

silentdeth: I dont use any corpses or bodyparts, but ITEMCORPSE.

BillyJack: Painter is copy pasted from kobolds, and the dyes was very easy to do. The megabeasts and biology was a lot more work.

[Repseki]

Thanks, I must have been lucky and not pumped one out.

Ore Processor is done. I added it to dwarves, kobolds and orcs. Mineral veins you find are now called "gold bearing rock" or "garnierite bearing rock" or "hematite bearing rock". They drop boulders, which can be processed in the Ore Processor. This then gives the boulder for the smelter. The slag bug is fixed, because I managed to change all slag bars into tools now, thanks to this. No more slag for walls and floors, or for moods.

Ore Processor costs 2 blocks, 2 mechanisms and 2 buckets. Reaction takes 1 boulder in, gives 1 processed boulder out.

I dont quite now yet what to add in addition. I thought for example that galena bearing rock, which appears in limestone and granite, has a chance to give galena ore + granite / limestone. Which makes perfect sense. I could also add gravel as a product, for which I dont have a function yet. Or I add rare finds of items, like crafts or relics/fossils, or an old weapon/armor.

Idea: an immigration office where you can set migrant caps, request migrants of all sorts, including from other species (if anything they'd arrive as pets and you could assign them to guard zones). A way to open the way toward multiracial forts.

hmm...

[Meph]

The embassy can already call migrants, setting migrant caps is possible in the Setting and since its an init setting (init = initialization, which means start up) it only work on restart of the game. So you can do this on a running fort, but you have to close the game, change it, restart the game. Nothing I can do about it.

Multicultural fort I SOOOO want to do. I had 5 different ideas how to make it possible, all 5 turned out to be impossible. I cant get the graphics to work right, thats the only thing missing. Your goblin or kobold migrants would still look like dwarves.

Otherwise, good ideas, keep them coming.

If friendship still worked, that could be arranged, too,  but it doesn't.

[Meph]

If display_tile worked or flash_tile... that would be enough.

[Putnam]

Well, those are both tiles, not graphics, so I'm not sure what you were expecting there.

Anyway, here's some code that can change the pop cap while running, give the user an in-game prompt to do so, and send word to the mountainhome immediately:

Code: [Select]

local dialog = require('gui.dialogs')


-- Use max to keep at least some of the original caravan communication idea
civ_stats.population = math.max(civ_stats.population, ui_stats.population)

print('Home civ notified about current population.')


local function setPopCap(arg)
if type(arg)=="number" then
df.global.d_init.population_cap = arg
else
setMigrantNumbers("Only numbers go in there, silly!")
end
local civ_stats = df.historical_entity.find(ui.civ_id).activity_stats
if civ_stats then
dfhack.run_script("fix/population_cap")
else
dfhack.run_script("fix/population_cap","force")
end
end
function setMigrantNumbers(text)
local promptArg = "200" --if not string, will give error at bottom
text = text or "What do you want your population cap to be?"
dialog.showInputPrompt("Pop cap selection","What do you want your population cap to be?",COLOR_WHITE,promptArg,setPopCap)
end

setMigrantNumbers()

--[[error report if promptArg is not set to string at first:

I would recommend hiding it in a subfolder so that people don't just use it, hehehe. Be warned that it'll reset if you save and reload, though.

[Meph]

All other scripts are available like that too I will add it to the embassy asap. Thank you.

The Flash-Tile does work... the creature graphics show the tile instead, but it flickers... You dont have any idea how to do this with scripts? ^^
