We have not had a fortress mode play through that's been posted, that's correct. Also, would you like to be marked down for a second turn then?

Sure.

Also, to anyone making creatures: don't forget to make your creatures geldable, if applicable!

This does not say "Cerapter cancels Mod Game: interrupted by combat". What a scam.

Didn't even think of that at the time. Gonna add that in.

...Defunitely the water trolls. They're essentially underwater dwarves in gameplay, although fortress mode doesn't incorporate water-based pathfinding.

I've run about two forts so far, but don't look forward to any write-ups. They were mostly to suss out bugs in gameplay. One rather interesting one was visitors freezing to death as soon as they entered the map, presumably from the colddam bug (this was before you lowered it). So I had frozen visitors knocking on the door of my fort, while lil' trolls freaked out over everything. Check out whether it still occurs at the new temperature values.

Also, water trolls dont have any upper clothing and shoes. They will get bad thoughts from it. Still haven't decided what I want them to wear...

[Urdothor]

The skins of their fallen enemies?
Woven loinclothes?
This? It even fits the magic theme.

[Dorsidwarf]

Wetsuits?
Bandoliers?
Bikinis?

I'll stop now.

Urd, did you get anywhere with those raws for crystalline magic tissues?

[Urdothor]

Urd, did you get anywhere with those raws for crystalline magic tissues?

Not quite yet. A bit busy trying to fix things, and testing pain receptors and tissue thicknesses. Give me like, an hour and I'll have a new set of files up.

Here you go guys, my first playthrough. "Playthrough". I literally did not get anywhere.

[Urdothor]

That's really odd... :/ Did the game give an error log for the crash, or just crash?

[Bearskie]

You know, I've just realised. Urd, you could've given your phoenix fireproof materials by doing it the dragon way -- just select material followed by setting ignites and heatdams to none. The fireproof templates wouldn't have been needed at all.

Just crash.

path fail: aardip,191,77,159 -> 191,78,158: Id #1941:Path Goal Owner:Station Owner at 191,78,158This is the only error that appeared in-game, and this was during it, not during the saving.
The gamelog is similarly devoid of anything strange.

That's true, I did the poofgeck similarly. Gave its hair [YARN] in the creature definition itself.

Oh right. Completely forgot about that.

I've been getting the same weird error log thing, and occasionally having holes in my arena. Anyone else with a similar issue?

[Bearskie]

Weird error log is just pathing, happens all the time. Holes have something to do with the trees.

Which part of saving did it crash at? Is it reproducible?

[Cerapter]

Which part of saving did it crash at? Is it reproducible?

Right when I chose to save, it crashed. As for reproductivity, I am not sure.

[Baffler]

Crashing has gotten worse. My game invariably crashes at some point before I manage to embark, and the errorlog just tells me that it "Cannot generate random creatures -- missing body gloss RCP_GLOSS_PAW." It usually happens during worldgen, but sometimes it's on the embark screen, or when I actually try to embark. Am I missing something obvious, or has the shutupdf solution stopped working for some reason? I'm using DF 42.05.

[Urdothor]

"Cannot generate random creatures -- missing body gloss RCP_GLOSS_PAW"
This has always been in the errorlog since the first version of this. It's required, otherwise we get about 50 other errors. This completely stops random creatures from attempting to spawn.

I think we're all on slightly different version, (I'm using 42.04) but that couldn't be what's causing the error could it?
