I don't know, I'll check when I get the chance. But does anyone have any idea how good any of these materials are, I've never heard of any of them:
hoohoo
holy wood
fire glass
manat bonesteel
wyrdlight
(Is forgotten beast bone like normal bone but expensive?)
I'd like to know if it's worth selling my first-born child to the snails in exchange for these weapons or not.

IIIRC forgotten beast bone isn't actually more valuable than regular bone.

Am I the only one thinking that multiple people using the same workshop wouldn't be a bad idea for a mod, if it's possible?

[MottledPetrel]

I mean, two dwarves working at the same workshop is completely and utterly impossible as the game is hardcoded to only allow one, which is why Modded Hell getting away with such a feat is so amazing. Even if it was possible, it wouldn't really gain you much. The dwarves still work at the same pace, you get the same products for the same quality, you'd really only save space. That being said though, I've still pondered the idea of making dwarven cubicles, little workshops that fill the tasks of normal workshops that take up less space.

I'm not familiar with the other materials, but hoohoo is a RotMK metal that's especially good for blunt weapons. I'm not sure how good a spear made from it is though.

[MottledPetrel]

Well, that's one mystery metal accounted for, and if forgotten beast bone isn't more valuable than normal bone I have no idea why that forgotten beast bone item was worth 20000+. Next update is probably going to have to be sometime this weekend, I've got too much to do this week to squeeze one in before then.

[MottledPetrel]

So there seems to be a new version. I'm not sure why I bother to ask because I'm going to implement it anyways, but does any know of any known problems that could arise from this new version?

[scourge728]

Knowing the luck we've been having, the entire embark could catch aflame

[ZM5]

A gigantic flaming apocalypse out of nowhere probably would be a fitting end to Modded Hell.

Decorations?

[MottledPetrel]

Ironically, most, if not all, of the previous I've played with this pack have been ended by rampant forest fires. Something comes onto the map, breaths fire or is just naturally of high enough temperature to ignite everything, and before I know it everyone and everything I love is on fire. If I have to place my forgotten beast bone instrument on what catastrophe is going to end the fort, I'd say it's going to be something at least fire related.

Speaking of which, I have seen adamantine artifacts worth less than that forgotten beast bone instrument, so I can't even begin to fathom what it's encrusted with that made it so valuable. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though, attempting to understand half the stuff that happens with this fortress would cause my head to explode.

[pikachu17]

Next time you could look at the intrument's description?

[MottledPetrel]

Can I do that if it's part of a caravan? I've never tried before, but I don't see why I couldn't. Update sometime this weekend, I'm hoping to at least play until sometime in fall to see if I can coax a siege out of the world, but if not I might as well start on some of the traps I have been sent.

[bloop_bleep]

MottledPetrel, is it okay if I take another day to finish designing my trap? The trap design itself is pretty much completed, I'm just testing it with creatures that are not building destroyers, which surprisingly are harder to deal with in my trap than those that are.

[MottledPetrel]

Take as much time as you need, just get it to me when you've got it (I probably won't even start the update until the day after anyways).
