Oh damn, is it still with the default embark size?

Mind sending the world file? I wanna see if it can embark on my end. Though it seems like a regen might be neccessary, since something's clearly fucky.

[MottledPetrel]

I tried founding at another location with only like 2 animals and it worked fine, I'm going to try a different side of the evil mountain and see if it will let me found there. If that doesn't work I'll post the save and see if anyone else has any luck with it.

So, I've concluded that it's either the area or the animals that are causing the problem.

[MottledPetrel]

So, it seems to me that we now have three options:

1. Go through extensive testing to try to get the desired location to work
2. Just found the fort somewhere else
3. Gen a new world and go from there

I'm going to put a poll up, but just know that if option 3. is picked that also means that I will be updating mods and possibly adding a few more in while doing so. Mod submissions will be open again for a little while, but then there will be a little bit of a wait while I do testing and bug fixes. I will also dump the previous save here so you guys can fuck around with it and have some parallel universe Modded Hell stuff.

There's been already a lot of waiting for the fort to be founded. Even though this is modded HELL, I still think we should go somewhere eventually.

[EPM]

Voting 2, potentially along with providing the save for bystanders to debug. The more eyes combing over this, the higher the odds of diagnosing and fixing the inevitable hiccups. Actual eyes with some kind of comb-like appendage may be involved.

[MottledPetrel]

The voting is pretty even so far, if option 2 is picked I'll found the fort and then dump the save here for anyone who thinks they can iron out things. Sorry for the hiccup guys, I know you've been waiting patiently for the fort to start and I appreciate your continued help, hopefully I'll have it up and running soon.

Oh, and apparently 'modded' doesn't exist as a word in the koopa dictionary, so the official name of the fort will be modesthell, because that's as close as I can get. But it will be known as moddedhell, and story wise I'll just be like 'they didn't even spell our name right in the papers'.

[Imic]

We should try somewhere else, and if that doesn't work, try to regen.

[MoonyTheHuman]

I agree with imic, and i think my subject is funnier when taken into someone else's context.

[EPM]

The idea of "modest hell" is pretty funny though. No, we don't have a Semi-Molten Ceiling, and the walls are just made out of soil layers for the most part, but we're doing our best you know. The well is plastered in blood, vomit, and transformative slime. Miasma chokes the halls, nobody has all six arms working, the piranha plants keep jamming doors open, and the local weeb won't shut up about the beta male, who's too busy trying to avoid eye contact.

[MottledPetrel]

All right, in the interest of saving time I'm going to take the results of the most recent poll and just found the fort in the other location that was thought about. For those who don't want to go back and search through the thread for the details of that location, here it is again:

I'll post the initial embark screenshots once I have it up and ready.

SUCCESS!

Welcome to ModestModded Hell!

Our humble wagon has arrived in a mostly flat grassland with a river running through the middle, we must delve to secure lodgings for there is death circling above us at all times

I don't remember who submitted this one, but it's your lucky day, for they are the first wild animals of Modded Hell. I'm shaking in my boots a little because they're circling right over the wagon.

It also appears that one of the ninjis is the expedition leader, this isn't exactly a rare occurrence with this pack but it really hurts to know that the mountain home thinks we're so incompetent that an animal can lead better than we can.

[Enemy post]

I wonder which pack changed the intro. Also looking forward to the dilophosaurus attacks. I've been wanting to test their behavior in natural conditions.

[MottledPetrel]

I was wondering if that was from the new update or not, I have no idea what actually did it. I didn't even know you could change the intro at all.

[ZM5]

Really hurts to know that the mountain home thinks we're so incompetent that an animal can lead better than we can.

Noko, in a squeaky voice, protested the notion of being called a mere "animal".
"Hey! I've got degrees in fluid engineering, geography, necronomics, geology, magmaology, and Pelagic dance therapy! I'm not just some uneducated peasant from the lowlands! Or, even worse, Vanilla Hell!"

[MottledPetrel]

You forgot to mention that he has his own heavy metal poetry band. He's the lead singer/speaker, and he's coming up with the dances to go along with his new hit singles 'The Blade of Persuaders' and 'The Fortuitous Intricacies'. Ironically, both of his dances 'The Quiescence of Tweeting' and 'The Festive Veneration' are therapeutic pelagic dances. Wow, Noko is already becoming a full blown character.
