Kobold Arena-like summonings of hostile creature to defeat for rewards.

Alchemy makes potions that give permanent boosts to the hermit.

A vampirism transformation that forces you to kill regularily, or die.

A werebeast transformation that is triggered in combat, like Kobold Druids.

AoE explosive/poisonous trap-components and catapult ammo.

Spawn/Summon pets like squirrels, niths, mountain gnomes, pixies.

A custom "cooked-meal" system, which has you prepare real meals. No more "eat one seed, not hungry anymore"

Massive AoE spell like fire-rain or evil-clouds as a way to ged rid of too large sieges.

Metal transmutation, alchemy based.

Hardcore mode, without all the boni like nopain, custom bone template, free skills, etc.

As it stands you get free quivers from those damn migrants anyway ^^

I am not even sure which skill it makes them spawn with it... RANGED_COMBAT? BOW? SNEAK?

We can fix that by disabling embark labors though, right?

No. I would have to remove the natural skills.

PTW. How did I miss this.

Hunter. SNEAK, I think. Miners and woodcutters get their equipment when migrating too.

Huh. But I noticed with labors off migrants didn't arrive with things like picks and axes, despite being miners or woodcutters. And i thought they did with labors on. Or maybe I'm crazy.

[Meph]

I removed SNEAK skill. No more free quivers. Free crafts I cant do anything about.

I tested 3 embarks and waited for 2 migrant waves, no surviving migrants. Seems to work correctly now.

I added mortars and pestles to the craftsman.

I added breakable shovels from bone to the craftsman.

I added cloth+tallow and cloth+wax quivers and backpacks to the cloth workbench.

I added a firepit, which allows to either burn things for ash/coke, burn wooden furniture for coke, burn any object for no result (destroying it, just for cleanup. Best to be used with stockpile feeding), and it melts down slag. You have a low chance for some base metals from this.

I added a Workbench (Fossils), has 4 reactions. Excavate stone, takes 5 boulders, might find something. Same as dwarf mode. And restore fossil/relic/treasure. Fossil might be a deep-bronze weapon. Relic might be a deep-bronze armor. Treasure might be golden furniture, golden training weapon, or (2%, very rare) 10 dragonscales. (steel-grade, lightweight, temp-immune leather).

So we have archeology, cloth quivers, no free quivers from migrants, no surviving migrants, bone shovel, getting rid of slag, added the missing "render fat to tallow" and "Mill seeds/nuts to paste" reactions... anything else? I dont think hermits can do anything with megabeast corpses yet.

*I made a shovel but couldn't find out how to dig a hole with it, if it can bury those regrets.. Another part of the guide said to just build coffins so they've got the finest coffins trash-wood can afford Maybe put the command/method for using the shovel for holes in the faq?

EDIT 2: *I've got a cow running around that is "Opposed to life" :> Now that some time has went by the cow is back to normal "Tame" status..

Shovels are picks, for all intents and purposes. Just assign mining labor.  Cow is opposed to life  probably because its an evil biome and it ate evil grass.

anything else?

I'd quite like to be able to use the advanced metals Mithril, Cobalt, Etc. Crucible and Metallurgist?

[Meph]

Not sure about that. A crucible for steel, maybe. But mithril/wolfram/titanium? Doesnt strike me as fitting. A lone guy living in a cave or wooden cabin, with a fully sized industrial metalworking complex in his basement?   

Added Workbench (Butcher), for megabeast corpses and living rock.

[Meph]

Added 3 metalworking furnaces. Finishing forge for early copper and bronze gear. Crucible, needs iron to be made, makes steel and upper-class metals from ore. Metallurgist, needs steel anvil to be made, makes and unmakes any alloy.



I think renaming the Workbench (Alchemy) to (Chemistry) and adding a second one for Alchemy that is a bit more fantasy-like would make sense. Currently all "alchemy" for the hermit is based on RL stuff, pearlash, potash, pitch, oil, blackpowder... not sure what I should give the alchemy one though. Its usually artificial gems, metal transmutation and ironbone/bloodsteel in the other races.

Potions? Magic weapons?

[Meph]

Potions are hard to micromanage. And I would have to write new ones from scratch. I dont have the time right now.

Magic weapons dont fit alchemy, in my opinion.

But...... It's a one man fort. How hard can it be to micromanage? o.O

[Meph]

I was thinking of locked rooms, but it would be easier to forbid all other drinks... so it wouldnt be so bad. You would have to wait for the hermit to get thirsty though.

Or I make them tools instead of drinks. That way you can make as many as you like and pick one with a reaction. "Drink potion X". Way better actually.

I like that plan!
