Goblins, evil kidnappers...

Necromancers, uber-evil mages...

Skaven, underground-living ratmen with clans...

Insect hive, zerg/tyranid-style...

Naga, water-based magic snakemen...

No, many modern computers only have a single core. My dedicated gaming PC is only single core. I do not own a single multi-core device (my parents own a dual core laptop though) and all of my stuff was bought in the last 10 years.

Single-core is really rare though.

First write something. Then test it. Then release it as a mod. Then, when you have people liking it and enough content, you can ask me if I want to add it to MasterworkDF as an optional mod in the mods tab.

OK thanks.

I sincerely doubt that. I can't even find single-core CPUs for sale. What's your CPU?

Meph how does one make shovels only able to dig dirt?

[Putnam]

By making all stone undiggable.

By making all stone undiggable.

How would I go about that? I have shovels done currently, still figuring out why they aren't appearing in workshops but I can embark with them.

Oh god, raining goblin blood? A dream that came true? No dwarf would ever be grouchy of being caught in the rain anymore.

I kinda want to make a playable fire-based civ, but also a invader-only demon civ that uses actual vanilla DF demons. Obviously impossible to do both. ^^

I don't know if it's impossible because of the time, because of the work (modding things is an alien thing out of reach for me to understand) or because it would be a incompatible lore.

If it's about the lore, and what you really want is doing an inorganic civ, would be a nice idea of a elemental-civ with tons of castes (fire elemental, water elemental, air, fog,rock etc.) and they could have many excuses to be there

(i am repeating some things here, but it's just to make sure i can be understood, so much time without writing in English)

Good: "The nature is getting alive"
"Their original plane is dying, ours is the best option"
"good gods created them so balance could be restored"

Savage: "The elements are alive! And they are fighting back"
"a god of [anything related to nature] sphere brought the elementals so order could be restored"

Slavers: "The nature is alive! And it swear REVENGE"
"wizards are growing elementals, and mindless slaves are constructing weird ~natural~ buildings, may the gods save us"
"god X brought elemental so wars could be waged"

Evil: "The elements are alive! And they are ANGRY"

The play-style could be something like this (or something else you got in mind):

Could sacrifice two kinds of elementals [water and air] or just one in the right workshop [water elemental in a rune furnace or something] to make another one [fog? mist?]

Could lock a pair of them like animals so they can breed ()

[Putnam]

goblin and elf blood and all that are definitely things that happen in vanilla DF

however, with modding, it is possible to make weird rains give good thoughts ever since 0.42.01.

[Meph]

- elemental race -

That would be a cool concept for a race

Earth and Fire elementals would be easy to do, water a bit more tricky because of the AI, air even more so... I wouldnt know how to simulate air/wind powers properly.

Roses has scripts that can make units projectiles for the "push people around" dealio.

Ooh, how about different varieties of fertilizers, for low wood embarks? Saltpetre, for example, can be used to make potash. As can bat guano (would be a good idea for another pet, maybe?). Additionally, blood meal and bone meal are good sources of nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively, so perhaps you could help people utilize what little wood they have by doing a 1 bone meal + 1 blood meal + 1 ash/potash/lye = 3 fertilizer?

Just something to thing about. Not sure if you did anything like that in any of the other versions.

I didnt... its a good idea. First time I hear about blood meal, too. Cant do bat guano though, since there is no refuse of that kind in the game.

Would it be possible to get bats to "lay" guano, similar to how the boulder crabs lay rocks?

too much work. it would be slower than farming plants/trees and burning them.
