I have done it, and don't remember food being terribly difficult.  Hunting, ranching jack rats.  Am I wrong in remembering that you can cook meals as long as they contain a meat ingredient?

[chaosfiend]

I'm not sure how you are doing it, cause I'm running through food like mad here.

I cant seem to generate a world with Kobolds. I have them set as the only Fort Civ in the Civilizations tab in the launcher. There are tons of civilizations in the world too, but its just elves and humans as the options that I have :/

I'm just brainstorming, but is it possible they maybe they don't appear in the civ list because of skulking?

I turned off their skulking in the launcher but that didn't change anything when I generated a new world.

People are in fact using Kobolds in this new version though? Seems odd that it isnt working for me when I have not really changed anything.

I also couldn't generate them on the map, and that also reflected on the embark screen, as I couldn't buy no implements or weapons.

The definetly work in the new version. I playtested them and there is a lets-play video of them, and a community fort... all with the 40.x version.

I will figure it out when I actually have time to play then. Always did want to try the Kobolds.

My civilization has no choppers. Am I screwed?

i Believe its because their default site is CAVE,which prevents them from showing up in the local civ screen,i had the same problem,so i switched [DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CAVE] to [DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CITY] and they showed up.

Valid site types are DARK_FORTRESS (π), CAVE (•), CAVE_DETAILED (Ω), TREE_CITY (î), and CITY (#). Also recognizes PLAYER_FORTRESS, and MONUMENT, though these likely will not work. FORTRESS is no longer a valid entry, instead castles are controlled by BUILDS_OUTDOOR_FORTIFICATIONS. Defaults to CITY. Selecting CAVE causes the classic kobold behavior of not showing of on the "neighbors" section of the site selection screen. Selecting DARK_FORTRESS also allows generation of certain other structures.

Thanks, this seems to have worked at first glance.

Does the hunting labor work for Kobolds? Therapist keeps saying that they are missing their weapon and they wont go hunting. They are holding blowguns though, with their quivers full of envenomed darts and everything.

[GreyPowerVan]

How long do venoms stay on blowdarts? Forever?

bring a training axe.

Yeah this is happening to me.  I just made him military and manually hunted.

[Apani]

May I criticize the workshops? Designwise, I think they are too big and too sophisticated. And what is all that leather required for? To simulate hide tents?

[Arcvasti]

Yes, forever.

And what is all that leather required for? To simulate hide tents?

Yep, leather and wood is for canvas and tent poles respectively.

[Apani]

But they don't look like tents at all and they can't provide any shelter whatsoever... And even if they did, I still don't see why playing indians would be necessary.
Personally I think that it's DF in the first place that currently depicts workshops superficially: it'd be nice if you actually used tools and a table instead of just sitting in the centre of a collection of unspecified objects placed in a 3x3 area which we call "workshop". But that's another matter...

[GreyMasker]

I had a question about the shell crafter. My understanding is that you should be able to tan shells there which then makes them usable for armor but I don't see the option to tan the shells anywhere. I see an option to toughen them with tallow, but no tanning. Is that feature not in yet or am I just missing something? My Kobolds are up to their eyeballs in shells so it'd be nice to use some of them.

Wonderful mod by the way; I'm pretty new to DF in general but I'm having a ton of fun figuring out how to keep these little bastards alive.
