Reclaim a grand fort.
The outdoors library is smoking.
Loads of nice codexes there. This one... this one is special.

A bonfire_accident-bound codex. It is burning. Burning for many months.
TRADE: THE TRUTH. A 166-page manual by Amane Winterheads. It concerns the process of economic data collection.
We dare not touch it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2021-05-30: OldGenesis version 47.05d.

Creatures:
- thunderbird missed too often, skills boosted. Twice.
- Ettin boosted again.
- white tiger skills boosted.
- alligator more common.
- rhinos beat Cyclops. Gotta boost the cyclops.
- giant moles reduced a little, lasted too long in combat.
- note: if a Deep Crow pecks metal-armored dwarf, lower leg is torn apart. Train your dodging at the workshop.
- note: lizardfolk salamander undead, they still breathe fire. You lose. You should have had elite archers.

Citizens:
- dwarf stress vulne up.
- jade clan bit more skill numbers, mechanics.
- aspid dwarf bite has now bleeding and necrosis in addition to short paralysis.
- dwarf strength upped, so much 17-str ones
- dwarf heavy sweating syndrome made more irritating. Posh ones should get stressed from sweating.
- dwarf PIKE (3 to 7 meters long polearm) natural_skills removed because can't manufacture pikes. Use 1.5m long spear instead. Also PIKE is very stupid in corridors.
- note: necromancer dwarves can't die of food/drink lack.

Civs:
- dusk elves breed slower.
- beastmen attack faster and got a little bit more combat skills.

Other:
- new rock class: translucent: rock salt and... dolomite, quartzite, calcite, alabaster(calcite).
- new reaction: Furniture from translucent rock: coffin, coffer, cabinet, throne, table, statue. Get blocks as byproduct.
- new reaction: Toys from translucent rock
- new reaction: Jewelry and kitchen items from translucent rock
- new reactions of aluminum armor: FORGE_ALUMINUM_MAIL(slow) FORGE_ALUMINUM_COIF FORGE_ALUMINUM_GREAVES FORGE_ALUMINUM_LOWBOOT FORGE_ALUMINUM_GAUNTLET and alu value down from 12 to 8.

- spiked mace boosted again, goblin spiked mace crap vs goat leg.
- platinum veins nerfed further, from 50% yield to 25% yield.
- tar and turpentine price reduced a little, too profitable. Tar barrel 1500 (two horses!?!), turpentine barrel 309.
- horn silver more common.
- tetrahedrite gives less copper.

- value adjust: zinc,lead 3 --tin,nick 4 --copp 7 --coba,alu,billon 8 --brass 9 --bb,wb 10 -- bronze 11 -- iron 15 -- steel,gold 22 -- sungold 25 -- red st 30 -- msil,bl st 32 -mith70 -Ada100
  certainly brass is better crafting and prettier than aluminum.

- billon from ore (tetra and tetra), removed.
- regular and fine alcohol, tiny bit more happiness.
- stonecutter's workshop (ginder): now needs lamp(rock toy), bucket, hand axe to build it.
- lead and tin bed crafting: removed as too flimsy.

Notes:
- "Most building destroyers are completely broken and won't target any buildings."
- "melt ice to water"(for hospital) reaction in freezing outdoors: bucket will contain ICE. Melt it in your fort!
- note: a fool can craft a BONFIRE material crude maul. Somehow. How the heck did she get it.
- note: whoa, a 17 dehmon invasion! Not 5.
- note: wooden bolt mostly cuts rabbit torso in half.
- three necromancer citizens and one throat-gushing-blood Doomed Zombie citizen. Well, half of citizens into D-Zombies...
- copper maul traps do defeat Giant Cave Crocs.
- three crashes on a simple 22 population fort! What arriving thing, or world event, causes crash? Uploaded to DFFD.
- done: test translucent reactions three. Embark rocksa,calci,alabaster. Done: test aluminum armor making.

All righty, Phoebus-tiles version is here. I know it's your favorite.
The world gen has crashed many times for me -- even after export texts and map, crash on saving savefile.

Okay 27 folks have downloaded the latest OldGenesis. I think OG has around 130 users.
Suggestions welcome what to tweak/tune/add next. TO-DO list(included with mod) is long anyways.
ASCII/ANSI version in a few days.

----------------
Tips for not-so-experienced ones:

j-m-q gauntlet [leather gauntlets are possible in OldGenesis]
j-m-q coar anvi [always need 2nd anvil, to Hammer Coarse Iron]
j-m-q coar cauld [cauldron for alchemy shop]
j-m-q coar bolt [most abundant metal for ammo, coarse iron]
j-m-q zinc toy
j-m-q fine roc
j-m-q fur
j-m-q finest
j-m-q best
j-m-q kitchen
rock toys for getting the LAMPS and SHAMAN RINGS for cool workshops.

ASCII version users! Here you go, aluminum armors and translucent rock crafts! And, the very important stress rebalancing.

I intended a 4 days delay but here we are, with a 19 days ASCII version delay.

Got an idea and now there's a class of lightweight rocks, for future reactions.

- ore boulders' prices adjusted.
- cheese dropped from 9 value to 7, was too pricy 450e compared to basic metal armor pieces.
- fewer Shield-caste dorfs.
- new stone class: [REACTION_CLASS:LIGHTWEIGHT_CARVABLE], not crap pumice and talc and gypsum. No rock pots from those.
  Granite is 2.7 density. let's say 2.7 to 3.3(some gabbro) is high density and 2.4 low density. shale NOT carvable, breaks. orthoclase 2.57. marble too heavy. Chalk too fragile.
  Light is... sylvite (salt), andesite 2.22, rhyolite, rocksalt, limestone, siltstone, claystone, sandstone, bauxite.

The ancients used... *wikipedia* alabaster, limestone, travertine-limestone, sandstone, marble, granite, greywacke-hardsandstone.

Ah, an oldie but a goodie! The first mod I ever played for this glorious game, brings me back to 2010. Good to see hard working dwari such as yourself are still grinding along, bellowing those mod forging fires. I appreciate it, you bringing this magnificent piece of history back to life.

[TomiTapio]

Now with three goblin species: gobline literate, goblin, groblin extra primitive.
Orcs can be in goblin-language hostile civ or in Japanese-language friendlyish civ.

Aluminum chainmail finally. And put your translucent rocks to good use: rock salt, dolomite, quartzite, calcite, alabaster(also calcite).

About 128 downloads on current version.

Tip: only assign hero-class (3 dodging, 3 fighting, 2 shield) citizens as web collectors.
Remember to cremate nasty bodyparts in the clay crafts kiln.

A couple of quick questions. What am I supposed to do with microcline and the other soft rocks like that? Am I supposed to be able to grind them up at the stonecutter? Because I didn’t get that to work yet (might be my fault).

Also are arachnids supposed to shoot webs? I have fought many of them and have yet to see a web. I was imagining setting up a GCS style silk farm using them, but so far I didn’t see any webs being shot at all. Have I just been very (un)lucky?

A couple of quick questions. What am I supposed to do with microcline and the other soft rocks like that? Am I supposed to be able to grind them up at the stonecutter? Because I didn’t get that to work yet (might be my fault).

We don't have a soft rocks(zeolite, porous) category, got translucent and
[REACTION_CLASS:EDGEDWEAPONROCK] neolithic weapon stone
[REACTION_CLASS:CEMENTCOMPONENT]
[REACTION_CLASS:CARVE_SMOOTH] claystone-y

Is "grind non-economic rocks (10)" not working? That's the destroying and maybe find little bit ore.
Under "which stones allowed/reserved" settings you might have to enable the use of microcline in basic Mason shop.
The good stones are auto-used by "furniture f best rock"  "carve fine rock bucket"  "carve fine rock items" etc.

Hmm, vanilla GCS has [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION] [CDI:ADV_NAME:Spray web]
and I guess our Arachna never got the update when CDI:s got added.  (being rare, and I don't do webber farms). Adding to Arachna now.
Silk has been plentiful to me, from the insect sized cave spiders, Spinners and the other one.

It was the stone setting menu tripping me up! I hardly ever visit that page so I didn't think about it. I enabled all the stone types like microcline that have no special uses and my masons are finally making blocks out of them! You might consider making that the default so that someone else doesn't get caught out by that.

Awesome, thanks! I agree, silk has not been scarce. I just traded for a bunch of silkworms which I assume I can get silk out of somehow. So yeah, while my original plan was to make a silk farm, I probably don't need one. But, I could still use webbing Arachna for a FB trap.

https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=15638

Changelog: just small tuning.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2021-08-13: OldGenesis version 47.05e.

Minerals:
- ore boulders' prices adjusted.
- metal ore boulders value down, don't build out of gold nuggets rubble.
- new stone class: [REACTION_CLASS:LIGHTWEIGHT_CARVABLE], not crap pumice and talc and gypsum. No rock pots from those.
  Granite is 2.7 density. let's say 2.7 to 3.3(some gabbro) is high density and 2.4 low density. shale NOT carvable, breaks. orthoclase 2.57. marble too heavy. Chalk too fragile.
  Light is... sylvite (a salt), alabaster 2.33, andesite 2.22, rhyolite, rocksalt, limestone, siltstone, claystone, sandstone, bauxite.
  The ancients used... alabaster, limestone, travertine-limestone, sandstone, marble, granite, greywacke-hardsandstone.

- maybe try stone_template to value zero. Yeah let's try. Can have zero value ungood stones now. Fixed many to 1, manually.

Animals:
- spaniel dog value up
- giant earthworm way more common, slightly larger
- groundhog speed reduced from 25 kph to 18 kph.
- fire mephits sure hinder the framerate/simulationrate/fps.
- jabberer reduced from 4.5 tons to 3.1 tons, name doesn't really convey elephant-sized.
- Arachna got CDI:spray webs, wait period 110. (vanilla GiantCaveSpider 30)
- monk, monk, monk, goblin adventurer: made more common.
- giant toad more common.
- red frogs are deadlier than you think! They bite your head nontoxically.

Civs:
- fewer Shield-caste dorfs.
- reduce Orc and Keeper breeding.
- orcs start with bow and crossbow skill 2.

Other:
- cheese dropped from 9 value to 6, was too pricy compared to basic metal armor and basic metal weapons.
- note: trying to generate a cold world, will give you zillion "placed entity without orch/nonorch crops" worldgen errors.
- reaction makes fewer Bark Strips leatherlike.
