THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION

YEAR 0

The sickness spread from person to person more quickly than one could imagine. What started as seemingly another benign outbreak spread by saliva, quickly metastasized into Humanity's final gasp. One by one, vaccines were developed, and just when it appeared to work the disease adapted. Humanity was shattered and cast to the winds. Generations passed, and humanity finally began to reorganize. Stepping into the ring, they reset the clock back to YEAR 0 and desperately fight for a self-sustaining life against the Infected.

Some people roamed the cities, they became the Scavengers, surviving off the land and what little reusable material they could find.

Some people fled underground, they became the Picks, battling against the beasts of the deep with improved metals.

Others succumbed to the bite, and seek to bring more to the fold.

You must lead one of the remaining groups of humans as best you can in this total conversion of Dwarf Fortress. The Infected are fierce, their numbers infinite, and unwavering in their hunger for human flesh.

Corrosion is one of the oldest running mods for Dwarf Fortress. Besides adding a fearsome foe to face, Corrosion also adds and expands industries to keep your humans busy. Will you become a wicker cartel? Or manufacture more guns than the Germans during WWII? Or perhaps build a pyramid out of plastic. All this is possible.

Brand New Reaction Count : 400 :
Here are some highlights!

# Create advanced melee weapons in the Weapon Workshop using parts forged in the Blacksmith's shop.
# Create advanced guns using a variety of parts from various crafts and shops.
# Encrust metal jewelry with multiple cut gems to increase value at the Advanced Jeweler.
# Create Plastic, a useful and durable material for crafts, synthetic gems, and furniture.
# Create Wicker, for a variety of renewable furniture and crafts.
# Wood is your lifeline. Get the most out of it by milling them into planks at the Millstone,
or splitting them at the Scavenger Yard (scavenger civ only)
# Combine nails and planks to make decorated furniture at the Advanced Carpenter's Shop.
# New Steel industry, very intensive and very rewarding.

Known Issues

Code: [Select]

* Vomit is blue, Blood is maroon. The game appears to mix a couple colors together to get these two colors.
Nothing I can do on my end but tinker with the colors later.
* I have (nails/metal jewelry) but the reaction isn't working. Hard coded issue with bins. Create a new stockpile remove all
bins with 'shift+e' key and delete the old stockpile.
* The 32bit does not have the custom tileset. Still looking into it, it appears that the tileset has to be 8x12, I made
the tileset to be 16x16. The tileset is in the art folder if you want to take a crack at it, otherwise I'm likely going to
be making an 8x12 to accommodate this.

Post to watch.

May give this a spin tonight, though I'm not a fan of contrivances to prevent building (as well as deny access to building materials.) - Aquifers being everywhere but mountains is a bit nonsensical, but understandable, if wood can be relied upon in its place.

Spoiler: Ideas, feel free to disregard (click to show/hide)
Personally, I'd favor trying to find some way to have rock dust appear alongside minable stone, that if exposed too frequently to it would potentially lead to Rocklung, which can potentially be fatal. Couple it with reduced ming rates for all but one or two castes, and that'd force you to cycle your diggers, lest you lose people to mining - but you'd lose them to your own negligence (or because you wanted to get rid of someone by labor,) rather than rock just being inherently lethal for no reason.

Faction proposals: Raiders. Garden variety jackoffs who are generally belligerent jerks, with thier own means of producing various things they need (for example, the picks dig up ore to smelt, the scavvers look for scrap metal laying around to melt, while the Raiders look for junk weapons to restore with other junk weapons, mashing them together to make frankensteined firearms, rather than mill or forge new ones like the other two factions,) or seizing them if they decide they don't feel like playing nice. For those playing as the Scavvers or Picks, they'd provide a ready human foe, while those playing as the Raiders would have to contend with not just the undead hordes, but mercenaries and bounty hunters from the other human factions as well.

Slavers: They sell mainly one precious cargo, and generally to Raiders - Slaves. Slaves would be pet creatures able to do menial jobs naturally, allowing you to use them to freely do things like mine or farm while your raiders practice thier skills at making drugs or killing people and zombies without a shred of guilt. Of course, if you decide to not play nice with them and simply start taking thier precious cargo, you'll have another enemy out there in the post-apocalyptic world before long, and slaves might revolt ala the Plump Helmet Men from PHM Overgrowth/Masterwork. This might require some DFHack witchery though.

Thanks for the interest

and I'm always happy to respond to criticism and suggestions so please get back to me after you have a chance to play around with it. And you seem interested to know about the actual mechanics enough so I will go in depth.

To start the previous versions of corrosion only had deadly stone and safe ore. The latest version also has a layer of deadly stone as well that spawns intermittently. The problem with deadly stone is that it works by dropping a rock that boils at room temperature and releases poisonous gas. This denies building materials by nature. I didn't like this either

Hence in the update I tried experimenting with aquifers. They are still avoidable, to a certain extent and it makes areas like mountains and frozen biomes more appealing. The big "advantage" of aquifers is that it takes about a year to get through, meaning you have to build an above ground fortification of some kind.

As far as your suggested civs you pretty much outlined the "Desert Devils" and "Reinhart" that I had planned. They were in the previous mod but not in this version because I wanted to make them a unique playable race. You have given me some good ideas, I'll have to look into the plump helmet men that you mentioned.

Thanks for the suggestions and drop a post once you get a chance to play!

Actually firing it up now.

I just described them as raiders and slavers rather than the old Desert Devils and Reinheit because I didn't really like how they were described - One sounded more like a slightly braver version of kobolds, while the other sounded too much akin to a "lol-evil-Enclave-expies" faction compared to the intent here being that Raiders are massive belligerent dicks more apt to fight than run and not bother much with all the sneaking about (unless it benefits their battle plan to do so,) while slavers have a vested interest in not genociding everyone - kidnapping and slavery is how they make their living.

As to biomes, frozen biomes don't usually support much in the way of crops or wildlife and makes setting up an above-ground well almost impossible, as even with a building over it the opening for the well would freeze at minimum, which kind of works against them being selected, where their advantage isn't supposed to be being an obstacle, it's providing an easily accessed and infinite source of potable/drowning chamber water.

The question should be: Do I want to be able to get easy drinking water away from a river (which means aquifers everywhere actually greatly expand where you can settle) or do I want easier access to fish/stone and ore (in which case, you're forced into looking to mountainous regions with rivers, effectively barring you from anywhere else because an inimical climate prevents agriculture and aquifers in warm flatlands are nearly impossible to get around,) or do I want to try for both? (Which means looking for a cave that you can use to access minerals and the underground while still having an aquifer to hydrate everyone.)

We'll see if my concern about the aquifers I justified soon enough though once I see how the trees are looking in this reboot, cause that's kinda the crux of the matter. It was a bitch without some way of bulk producing wood blocks to house people in the old mod.

Spoiler: Upon looking over the weapon guide, among other things... (click to show/hide)

As to other suggestions, I'd personally like to see 1 or 2 tile tall piles of junk "growing" every so often (essentially a tree that serves as a source of scrap materials - an old car, bit of ruined building, or what have you, unearth by rain and wind,) and small pockets of junk or survival caches in the upper layer or two of soil that can be dug up for possible goodies like canned foods or ammunition and firearms, or get unlucky and end up with just a bunch of old iron storage boxes (that is, coffers/bins.) - they'd be finite sources in the latter case, and not always guaranteed to yield anything very useful beyond some food and a box or some thread and cloth.

Also, looking at the weapons, you could probably simplify the names some, or make the names a little more clear as to what they are in-game.

T1 - Makeshift/Handmade
Makeshift Bolt Gun - A low caliber and crudely fashioned bolt-action rifle, made with whatever was at hand and lacking a scope or bayonet mounts of any kind.
Zipgun - The weak handgun, these would probably be the dominant handgun in most communities. Makes up for low power with shield capableness.
Pipe Shotgun - More of a rename, reflecting its crude nature. 20-gauge and as such, the weakest shotgun with the most easily made ammo.
Scattergun - Simple double barrel shotguns utilizing 12 gauge rounds. Likely the first "upgrade" you'll be able to hand out to your minutemen once ammo production is more advanced.

T2 - Factory/professionally made, with some potentially being found in survival caches, specifically the Bolt Gun, Revolver, and Auto Pistol.
Revolvers - A considerable upgrade from zipguns, but not as good as the auto pistols.
Lever Gun - Lever-actions, duh.
Auto Pistols - Magazine fed semi-auto handguns.
Bolt Gun - Run of the mill bolt-action guns. Bayonet capable.
Hunting Shotgun - a normal 12 gauge shotgun.
Elephant Shotgun - 8 gauge big-game shotgun meant for fighting the like of bears, elephants, and so on. Ammo stacks would be very small and capable of insta-pulping unprotected targets. Possibly a faction-specific to the Picks, who might have to deal with large animals more often than Scavvers.

T3 - Specialist: Requires special parts compared to most other weapons and likely investment from multiple industries.
Liberator Shotgun - 10 gauge combat shotgun. Ammo stacks would be a middle of the road between the Elephant Gun and Hunter, and able to mount a bayonet. Would likely need plastic furniture components to make its weight bearable.
Tankhunter Rifle - A large single shot rifle. Would need specially produced scope, milled receivers and barrels, and a heavy rubber pad to make. A favorite of Scavvers who have to face large and deadly wildlife, and this their faction specific weapon. Ammo stacks would be small, and preferably quite heavy.
Tunnelrat Autogun - A machine pistol utilized by the picks, its small size and high rate of fire making it ideal to use in confined conditions. Faction exclusive weapon for the picks, needing heavy barrels and springs to keep the recoil under control and keep the rate of fire high.

It should also be noted, smaller gauges mean larger and more powerful shells, rather than the other way around for shotguns - an 8 gauge shell will be sufficient to knock the shooter down if not prepared, while many automatic shotguns can be rechambered to utilize the far lower recoil 20 gauge shell.

EDIT: I'm checking legends, but it seems the undead horde faction isn't spawning...

EDIT II: Yep, no undead factions of either the small or large varieties. And the Picks and Scavvers get along too well. There wasn't a single armed conflict between any of the 40 civs that spawned.

Is there still an optional raw file that doesn't make the stone deadly? Always had trouble with aboveground roofs.

Also, we need a 32-bit version.

Ahhhh I see what you are getting at now. I do really like the whole Frankenstein weapons, so perhaps they do warrant a civ on their own. I'll tinker with the idea.

At some point a sawmill was added to the old corrosion to turn 1 log into 4 planks. A burner workshop turned boards into ash and charcoal. Now I felt the latest version of DF and the large trees have plenty of wood, but if you think differantly let me know and both workshops will return in some capacity.

The guns have gone through a lot of name changes and likely still will. I'm still not happy with the M97 shotgun so I may adopt something from your list

. The names I picked were picked so that a players wouldn't wonder what ammunition goes into a .22 long range. And unfortunately due to the limitations of modding -unless I missed something in the last 5 years- Firing speed of weapons is based solely on the skill of the user.

More guns are planned however! So I'll tuck this list in my perverbial shirt pocket.

Lol there goes my armchair gun cred. That will be fixed! I got the Bore ammo right though!

That is odd, I started a world after I uploaded and got both. Try a small/medium world and high civs. I'll see if I can confirm when I get a chance.

I think it's located in the stone_layer_new (something like that). Removing that file should get rid of it. It's the only entry at the moment so it shouldn't affect anything else. Generate a new world.

32 bit aye? I'll see what I can do. Any difference in RAWs between 32 and 64 that you know about?

Splint · « **Reply #7 on:** May 21, 2017, 10:47:36 pm »

I'm going to give it a few more tries, but on a medium world (I favor these over most because it gives enough room to breath during world gen, but everything's somewhat close enough for prolific conflicts.) I have the same problem with goblins on masterwork as of late, so I'm wondering what the issue might actually be.

Firing speed I'm unsure of. I know it used to be tied to agility and to a lesser degree skill - I had high agility shooters pump out way more shots than low agility ones, but that was 34.11 and older.

The descriptions of the guns are more meant to help give the player an idea of what they give thier people. Auto pistols won't look like revolvers or zip guns in the mind's eye, and a crudely made scrap-metal and duct-tape bolt gun isn't gonna elicit the same mental image as an old hunting rifle.

As to weapon concepts for the raiders, a possible find in junk piles would be broken guns, which can be mashed together and sometimes combined with melee weapons - A broken hunting rifle, broken auto pistol, and a kitchen knife? You now have a Raider bolt gun which uses auto pistol ammo and has a kitchen knife bayonet. Find a broken autopistol and some sharp scrap metal (which could also be used to make a seperate makeshift shiv knife user weapon with some leather,) well take a bit of scrap metal to fix it and add some mountings, and now your Raider Autopistol has a shitty bayonet spot-welded to it. Broken shotgun and revolver? Congrats, you now have a Junk Blaster - a shield-capable pistol that uses shotgun shells. Got an old chain and found a working small motor? improvised chainsaw known as a Grinder doling out rapid small-contact-area blunt attacks. Add some sharp scrap metal, and you have a Shredder doing the same but destroying muscle and nervous tissue instead of shattering bones. Got a zipgun and a busted autopistol? Now that zipgun's been rechambered, giving you a stronger Raider Zipgun.

Could also add various farm tools as melee weapons for the non Pick factions - billhooks, butcher's knives, brush hooks, pitchforks... Bound to have these things around with the loss of industrial farming equipment.

In effect, where most try to make weapons of similar quality to the old world, the raiders don't care - They'll slap any old thing together to make it work and make it kill people, without a care for the probability that it might explode in their hands.

As to the comment about wood, I recall having to add it in myself since old trees were old trees and rock was undiggable/deadly.

Awesome! Corrosion was my favorite total conversion for the old versions of DF. I'll have to try this one out.

The Reinheit also always seemed a little too evil-for-the-sake-of-evil to me. As for the Desert Devils, my impression was that they were somewhat like the Fremen from Dune, which could be a cool concept, especially if you want to make them a playable faction this time around.

IT 000 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 26, 2017, 11:14:17 am »

The Desert Devils are getting along "wonderfully"

So far the desert devils have some basic guns and some very nice melee weapons. All Desert Devil's melee weapons use throwing knives as "ammo" allowing your soldiers to double as ranged and melee units.

As you can see in the picture they have a variety of new nobles to further differentiate them from Scavengers and Picks. The 'Expedition Leader' is replaced with a Tribe Leader that runs a squad, makes mandates, and handles punishment. Basically, expedition leader/military commander/sheriff all in one. I failed to fulfill his mandate so he took a respected member of society (whom are 'elected' and act as managers) and smashed his head into a screw press.

So far they do not have any special workshops, nor do they have any level 2 guns. I plan on getting these complete before release, however I want them to be constructed differently than the regular way. I'll have to play around with some stuff. I also have plans to give them some different metallurgy techniques relying on gems and glass instead, possibly remove their ability to make advanced steel. As far as workshops are concerned I'm thinking about giving them some way to make coke without logs, or at least make those reactions more efficient to allow them to thrive better in wood-less environments. They will also get a "permafire glass furnace" that will allow them to create basic glass objects (bricks, windows, doors, pots, jugs) without fuel.

Otherwise I have been editing the second post in the thread to give you guys an idea of what minor stuff I am working on. Big thing in this update is an improvement to farming and butchery to make farming less effective and increase the yield of butchery and tanning.

The Millstone can turn logs into planks, but the Scavengers get a new workshop that can do that, and some other stuff without power.

Weapons have been mildly improved all around as well.

trekbook · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2017, 05:00:32 pm »

I gave this a spin, but I'm not sure I get how the steel is supposed to work.
Given that ore only gives actual iron half the time, it looks like you need 6 ore for every crucible steel. The steel guide says that the reaction to make shear steel should be at the crucible, but I don't see it there. I looked at the raws, and the reaction to make it was called FINISH_SHEAR_STEEL to be done at the finishing forge, while entity_default only has MAKE_SHEAR_STEEL listed as an allowed reaction.

I also embarked on the northern tundra, and could only farm three kinds of berries above ground, and nothing below. I think this is a biome thing, but just thought I should let you know.

Thanks for making this!

Oh, a heads up, if you want to try and remove demons since they might be made of things too nonsensical to be mutations, the infected will need their sites changed to cities. Evidently there was some hard code change that makes demons a requirement for dark fortress civs now.

Have you tried having everyone that is not allowed underground, have the tag [CAVE_ADAPTS] and also apply a self interaction to themselves that uses the COUNTER_TRIGGER on CAVE_ADAPT that gives them worse and worse effects the longer they are underground (2 months may be fatal)

CAVE_ADAPT trigger notes

Quote

How cave-adapted the creature is. Increases by 1 for every time unit spent underground, to a maximum of 800000.
403200 (1 year) = going outside causes irritation
604800 (1.5 years) = going outside causes nausea

I use that method quite a bit when I create a playable human civ to encourage above ground or more "open" living arrangements

I'm glad to see Corrosion being updated again - it was always one of my favorite mods. There seems to be a bug with the current version - it (and not other mods) causes the game to segfault on loading up a save, either with compressed or uncompressed savefiles. The only think in the errorlog is

Code: [Select]

Duplicate Object: item ITEM_WEAPON_PIKE
Duplicate Object: item ITEM_WEAPON_PICK
Duplicate Object: item ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW

, and it seems to usually happen during the "Loading Artifacts" stage on the loading screen. Is that affecting anyone else?

Spoiler: I didn't sign up for this (click to show/hide)

Surprisingly this did not end my first fort and the last wereelk lived in the mines while some new migrants arrived the next year. Of course the embark equipment was stuck down there with it, so getting a new fort built on the surface was interesting. Things were going fine up until some evasive infected showed up, and I forgot that they can now climb >.<

Anyway fort #2 is underway, while severely lacking in the hemp department the new farm area is sitting on a nice ledge, and I plan on making some overhangs to see if that'll stop them climbing up.
