That... would seem like the logical place to go to rather than strings > stringdump > manual search which was my MO. :D Oh wow. Anyway, great, thanks.
Of course, that is the best way to find undocumented tokens on release days. :)

My halflings can't make any armour other than bucklers.

Bug or just feature unimplemented?

But they can't make any other armour - not even helms and caps.





Oh, by the way - the rock thrower ability you gave them is brutal. A couple halflings decimated a pack of wild hounds easily using only thrown stones. I like!

No, they can't make helms and caps. Such peaceful people. Instead you are supposed to rely on mostly your bows if sane - small metal arrows are supposed to be less overwhelmingly lethal than vanilla bolts, but are still very much so en masse. Throwing rocks also compensates. A bunch of civilians throwing rocks is pretty dangerous even to large unarmored creatures, which I feel is pretty realistic actually.

Any chance of some screenshots of your halfling home? :)

My work on modding in the new race that will deliver the wizard syndromes in coming along..... sort of. They keep wanting to give the magic powers to each other, even though their race is exempt from being targeted, or to wild animals, despite them not being intelligent. I'll get it one of these days! Also, the new race will be mainly for a friendly trade race.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

That's the only post I've read other than the first 3 pages.

Great :D

Put you in the player pool, take it up and report what needs fixing, or just play it by your lonesome?

Throw me in the player pool too. This sounds fantastic.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Its been a few months since I played DF, and I wanted to see what the modding section has done in the meantime this is apparently in the games and stories, I wonder how I got here...  I find this and am intrigued, may I play?  (I should also brush up on modding as well, though don't add me to the modder list.)

It's not really a case of may you play. You absolutely may. :D Maybe I took that too literally. Try it and share a story if one writes itself, fun for all!

I'm guessing that'll mean I'll also list you in the 'pool? Although the pool is now more symbolic than intended tbh. If we get a (longer) player report or several in response to a new mod I'll put just it/them on the front page as they come, that makes more sense considering how this is going.

Spoiler: IMAGE DUMP ALERT (click to show/hide)

There are a few other levels, of course, and a huge amount of tunnels.

In other news, my miner is all sad because she was friends with the mysterious explosive-puberty peasant. Nothing seems to cheer her up.

EDIT: Also, why are my halflings always sleeping on the floor? There are more than 5 unclaimed bedrooms and several beds designated as dorms, but every time i flick through the fort, theres at least one moron snoozing on the stone. And then they get a bad thought for it.

EDIT EDIT: Oh god, 30 migrants. HALP ME!

You have no idea how many logs this has taken

Obviously what we need is a highly violent race with tree cap diplomacy.

Say, are the Treelords/elves set to be automatically hostile, or do they just behave mostly like vanilla elves?
