Bring back the mega artifacts
« on: August 15, 2019, 08:11:12 am »
I'm talking Planepacked level shit. I know it originally was a bug, but maybe it should be made into a feature? Like, on rare occasions the dwarf in one of strange moods would ask for tons of material (without any exploits like stay indoors/burrows restrictions) and it would create something really grand.

If I say something funny, don't ask if you can sig it. Just do it (though credit me).

In general I think there have been quite a few one-time bugs over the years that would be really cool as features, if just occasional ones.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Agreed. Keep this discussion about planepacked though. If you know of any other cool bugs that would be nice as proper features, I think it'd be great to discuss them in a separate thread.

Disagree. Mega artifacts using tons of materials, sure.
But Planepacked went beyond that and was just, "oh look a bug, ha ha".

Please re-read Planepacked's description and say it isn't dope. I agree that the actual way to pull it off was a bug, but if there was a legit mechanic to get such artifacts, it would be great.

Ok.
Re-read that.

Oh look, a bug. Ha ha.
