Great play turn, Xieg! I just wish someone would embark somewhere with Panserblekks...

I wish there was an "INDIFFERENT" tag for ethics, as it doesn't make sense for a race that cannot eat to have strong feelings about it.

"NOT_APPLICABLE" is a possible value for ethics, so there effectively is :)

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

Anything in particular I should watch out for?

The Halfling and Spider-Centaur civs seem rather small in my small 550 year world. The Treelords have bigger civilizations than anyone else actually.

Is it intentional that you can play as a Spider-Centaur in adventure mode?

Is it just me, or do Spider-Centaurs have a low tolerance for pain?

I am currently playing a Formic bow....Fromic?

I have a balance question

For my incorporeal mental civ, should they be physically indestructible, or should they be gaseous and thus destroyable in physical combat?

Indestructible. It should balance out the wildlife.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
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.

The Lumberyard won't work, it wants "apple tree plant logs", I already have apple wood logs for some reason. Golden Mamaphints are still are called "Goldan Mamaphints", I had the option of bringing coal gems on embark, and all cloth is called "cloth cloth".

Halflings don't have quivers, is that a bug?

And one last note about the grass...why is it moving? It looks terrible.

Regarding the wiki, I must say that the design you have chosen seems to be based less on providing information about the game, as I had intended mine to be, and more on reporting bugs and modding idea, which is the purpose that this thread has been serving. Nevertheless, the selection of website and layout seem to be popular, I'll drop the discussion.

Mm... Please make it more player-oriented if you like.

I added Zanzetkuken as a full administrator of the wiki, so I really hope that's you :D

It is me.  Thank you for the promotion.

The way I see it, I actually semi-accidentally demoted you and Gnorm. I would like for you to admin the wiki as it was your idea. Please also make Gnorm an admin if he decides to register.

Also, if it doesn't get used (because it would have been cooler to start from your templates), then we'll revert to your pages which had more content. However, since I may not have good quality internet the coming week due to a uni. rotation, I'm adding this wiki to the first page now as I might be unable to easily do it later.



Miscellaneous replies:

- Halflings having two right elbows is a bug that I thought I fixed but apparently didn't. The left elbow is incorrectly described as a right elbow in text.

- Xieg's report added. Thanks for sharing it :)

- mocman, how's it looking?

- Lumberyard works automatically.

- Mamaphints, yeah... they will be able to become anything that's not a position limited to a caste. Not much we can do about that so long as they're intelligent, I think.

- "Cloth cloth" is intentional because it makes its other uses less ambiguous, but seems to be confusing people so maybe should be fixed.

- Halflings should have quivers (unless something crazy has happened; they're hard-coded), but the hunters whom you get as immigrants don't bring any equipment. This is because their choice of profession is from the innate halfling skillset rather than history, I assume. Quivers must be made out of leather as in vanilla.

Don't fast travel if you can help it, spider-centaurs are fair enough but daemonic cherubim ambushes are a death sentence, if it is still at full speed and next to you with its friends not far behind it then you are dead already. Also, Panserblekks. That may just be my bad luck though.

What about Panserblekks?

EDIT: Seriously, I didn't get the chance to test them much.
