DDU?

[ZM5]

Darkest Dungeon. Someone compared my cave revamp mod to it - since I don't want to get rusty at modding while we're waiting for the next bugfix updates (and so I have time to think up of ideas for a good/evil biome revamp to compliment the cave revamp one) I figured, why not actually make a DDU mod?

[bloop_bleep]

Am thinking of making that DFHack-less steampunk mod idea I suggested in an earlier thread. Basically you would have pipes, valves, steam containers, etc. defined as creatures which you pasture in the place you want. Certain components (boilers, user-operated valves) that require dwarf input would be defined as buildings. There would be workbots and fightbots, which are filled up with steam at charging ports, and then can go on and do useful things (workbots are intelligent pets that can perform jobs, fightbots are war-trainable and have varying combat abilities) until they run out of steam and have to be charged again. You would also be able to pasture various turrets and other things which are immobile but can run off steam directly, without having to be charged.

I haven't actually started on this yet, as I'm not sure right now if it'll be feasible or worth the while. (There's still a lot of technical problems to be solved.) And, do any of you even want this?

It sounds like fun to me. I've been wanting to do more stuff with mechanical/steam energy for a while, although personally I'm waiting until Toady gives us some tools to make custom buildings and work with power.

Hmm, got the pelagics done - so only three invaders left to do (bloodsuckers, witches and cultists), the megas and then the final dungeon creeps.

Wondering how the pelagic civ is gonna work, considering the three male castes are spouse converters and the siren is a converted spouse.

Will they even function correctly? I'd have thought that they'd either act as normal citizens, sans night troll behavior, or immediately flee to the wilderness. See also: A HF getting transformed into a megabeast with the POWER token, who will be stuck in an endless loop of deity impersonation and fleeing to the wilds.

Yeah it seems like they just dont have night creature behavior. Oh well, everything else works properly.

Also admittedly, I haven't noticed the endless loop behavior with creatures being turned into megas with the power token, back when I'd have deity curses turning people into one of the seven deadly sins megas. They actually just stayed in whatever towns that were their homes.

Huh. My syndrome was transmitted via secret, so I assume that's where the crucial difference lies. Still, this merits more !!SCIENCE!!

It occurs to me that the new pet system allows for a long-desired mod feature: multi-race civs! Making an intelligent race be a 'pet' of another race's civ seems to just elevate it to citizen status (you can assign labors to intelligent pets in fort mode, at least), so if you want (e.g.) a civ consisting of both dwarves and humans, make one of those the 'main' race and the other a pet.

I posted about it before, but there's a key issue with that - when you get migrant waves, the migrants that aren't of your civs main race (i.e playing as a dwarf civ, but has elves as "pets") will be treated similarly to mercs or bards that petitioned for residency - as in, you cannot assign them jobs. They'll do hauling and whatever jobs that they have skill in, but you won't be able to do anything else with them.

Ah, that sucks. That definitely sounds like a bug and not WAI, though, so hopefully Toady'll fix it in one of the next few releases.

Possibly, although he did say the animal tags really aren't supposed to be used with sapients. Might not get fixed until slavery is looked at a little more.

Post your raws or no-one will be able to tell you what's wrong (and there is a general thread for questions - that'll get a quicker response).

Make sure to also post any errorlogs you're getting.
