Hey hey people, Splint here.
Have you ever wondered "What would happen, if Splint jumped off the slippery modding slope for real?" If so, well boy do I have news for you.
To celebrate the new stress fix release we just got, I made a little something something. A whole lotta something something, actually. Here's the change log.
New in v6
BUG FIXES
creature_mythic_ex
- Monokeros can now be trained for war properly. Sorry about that.
- Spriggan petvalue adjusted. Set to 125, from 500.
- Lauma and Impwood petvalues adjusted. Set to 250, from 800.
creature_invertebrates_ex
- Blue Devourer (now Fen Crab,) display color fixed.
- Moss crab display color fixed.
- Moss crabs brought up to a more proper speed.
creatures_surface_ex
- Fixed giant zebra caste name.
ENTITIES
Each of the new entities also comes with hostil variants, with the Ocean, Tundra, and Sky civs being theives and the Jungle and Desert ones being snatchers. They both send ambushes and sieges.
- Sea Peoples, by Lurksquatch! Using his work as a base, I've bug-fixed the creatures and tinkered with thier entities to make a unique winter trading partner that can come in any of 37 flavors of fish things (I nixed halibut and sunfish men.) Build cities in wetland and riverine areas (was originally oceanic, but I figured I should make thier sites actually accessible for adventurers.)
They arrive in the winter to trade.
- Desert People
Possible creatures: Gila monster, desert tortoise, beetle, and lizard men.
Build cities in desert areas.
Values: Commerce, Leisure Time (it's fuckin' hot outside yo,) Eloquence, Competition
Positive view: Artwork, Tradition, Decorum, Cunning, Fairness, Merriment
Negative View: Nature (due to the lack of it in sandy places,) Cooperation
Disdains: Stoicism (they've got naturally hard to read faces meaning they have to actually be open and blunt,) Hard Work (it's still fuckin' hot outside yo)
Remaining values variable +/- 30
They have reduced armor options and rely on more on edged weapons, as they're all significantly smaller than a dwarf (between 40k and 30k bodysize.)
They come in spring to trade.
- Tundra Peoples
Settles in temperate forests, tundra, and taiga.
Values: Loyalty, family, cunning, cooperation, fairness and friendship
Positive view: Power, merriment, martial prowess, skill
Negative view: peace, harmony, tranquility (they're predators after all) independence (if you don't have a pack, you die alone in the cold)
Disdains: Nothing in particular.
Remaining values variable +/-30
Being 40k body-size or larger, they can use my tweaked great weapons. As they often rely on stealth to hunt, they also don't make use of the new hand-cannons.
They'll come to trade in winter.
- Sky Peoples:
Possible creatures: Raven, Kestrel, Eagle, Snowy Owl or Great Horned Owl men
Settles temperate forests, shrubland, and taiga in forest retreats.
Like the desert entity they have a very light gear loadout for armor, and use crossbows over bows, blowguns or firearms to prevent interference with their wings. They make no use of blunt weapons, instead favoring weapons that compliment sweeping attacks or diving charges into their enemies.
Values: Decorum, Eloquence, and Knowledge (they're bird people after all, and birds tend to be smarter than other animals of comparable size and often associated with wisdom.)
Positive View: Martial prowess, Cunning (predatory birds.)
Negative View: Cooperation, Hard Work (most of them are solitary predators which means not enjoying sharing much and working hard means something went wrong)
Disdains: Competition (again, most of them are solitary predators)
Other values are variable, +/-30
As they are rather small, they have a reduced loadout of armor and weaponry, and thier sky-going nature means they don't build roads or bridges. They also consider theft to be a capital offense.
They'll come to trade in autumn.
- Jungle People
Possible Creatures: On the larger end, Lion or Tiger men. Medium Warthog, Jaguar, and Leopard men, on the smaller end Ocelot and Honey badger men.
Settles Tropical forests, shrublands, savannas, grasslands, and along tropical rivers.
Values: Martial prowess, Skill, Cunning (rough homeland full of predators and dangerous herbivores)
Positive View: Knowledge (to avoid consuming toxic creatures/plants,) Perseverance (kind of a stand-in for patience and ferocity, as the impatient and timid hunter or scavenger ends up dead,) Independence (mostly solitary or living in small groups)
Negative View: Cooperation, Competition, Hard Work (mostly-solitary base creatures and it's fuckin' hot, humid, and generally miserable outside.)
Disdains: Nothing in particular.
Other values are variable, +/-30
Due to the heat of thier homelands, they generally don't wear too much heavy armor. They're also the only surface civ that uses blowguns.
They'll come to trade in summer.
The Desert, Sky, Jungle, and Tundra entities will always have a few consistent values, but will vary in many others from world to world.
ITEMS
- Hand-cannons and hand-cannon shot (blunt) and grapeshot (Edged) Used by humans, goblins, dwarves, and thier clone/derivative entities; there *will* be some strangeness with worldgen troops using poison-coated handcannon ammo.

- Board Mace: One-handed for most civilized creatures, though the smaller ones will need two hands. A blunted macahuitl or Thames Beater essentially. Used by the Jungle and Tundra entities.
- Longbow: A more powerful but more expensive-to-make two-handed bow used by humans and forest entities. Uses standard arrows for ammo.

plant_surface_ex
-Useable as crops-
- Dust Thistle: Grows in savage deserts. Not useful for much besides brewing into Thistle Tea or cooking it into meals directly.

- Yellow-throated Marten and variants: Around 15k size. Found in both temperate and tropical forests and taigas. Hunts vermin. Hunts in pairs and groups of up to 7. They are fairly easy to tame and so aren't considered exotic pets, and reportedly fear very little, so they're marked as trainable for hunting.

- Gorgon: An intelligent legless four-armed humanoid reptile found stalking savage deserts and tropical locales. Size 95k, and prefer to attack with quick raking slashes. They sport venom that induces dizziness.
- Rocling: A large bird of prey that superficially resembles a roc. They can be found in savage mountains and temperate biomes. Size 120k, and trainable.
- Drake: A flying monster similar to wyverns. Unlike wyverns, they are longer-lived, and lack venom, as well as more numerous. They are, however, also substantially smaller than wyverns at half their size and unsuitable for use as mounts as a result. They can be found in savage mountains, deserts, and shrubland. Size 150k and trainable. Curiously, they are highly resistant to fire.
- Land Drake: A ground-dwelling reptile that superficially resembles a small dragon, found in savage mountains, deserts, and open ground. Size 120k and trainable. Curiously, they are highly resistant to fire and seem to be incredibly long-lived, and are very deadly for the untrained to face.

- Moss Golem: A humanoid that resembles a heap of rocks piled together, with moss covering the head and upper arms. They patrol goodly lands, often smashing the foolish who approach them. Building Destroyer 2.
- Cairn Golem: A bare humanoid stoneheap driven by ill intent. Opposed to life, found rarely in evil lands. Building Destroyer 2.

OTHER INORGANICS
- Pitch Glaze, a dark green glaze made from pitchblende. The highest value glaze.
REACTIONS
- Burn Vermin: Exactly what it says on the tin.
- Burn body parts: Incinerates the bits and bobs from creatures (though not whole corpses.) This means teeth, severed limbs or digits, and useful parts such as wool, bones, and so forth, so you'll need to do some microing to make sure this doesn't burn up stuff you might want to use.
- Burn planks for charcoal: Takes 4 wooden bars and turns them into charcoal. Essentially more labor intensive but more efficent than turning logs directly into fuel, giving you a net gain of +3. Good for areas with limited trees and for those looking to minimize their tree fells for fuel.
EDITED VANILLA FILES
creature_standard
- Civilized creatures that can make use of hand-cannons in their entities have a new profession name added, specifically for the Blowgunner, which is termed to "Handgunner" and "Master Handgunner." Handgunners will be the ones using the new Hand-cannon. Hopefully I got'em all.
creature_large_tropical
- One- and Two-humped camels given innate discipline so they are less likely to flee as mounts.
creture_reptiles, creature_desert_new, creature_insects
- Lizard, gila monster, beetle, and desert tortoise men have handgunner profession added for thier use with the _ex file. Won't be an issue if not used however.
inorganic_stone_mineral
- Pitchblende has green glaze reaction class stuff added.
MODULE - FINE WOODS
plant_finetrees_spl
- Fixed some tree colors. While unrealistic, it should help spot some of the new trees more easily. May or may not take, seems to work for some but not others.
plant_standard
- Edited the value of glumprong, featherwood, and highwood to value 8 (to reflect specific utilities and relative rarity.)
- Edited Spore, Black-cap, Tunnel Tube, and Goblin-cap trees to value 5
- Edited Nether-cap and Bloodthorn trees to value 8
NEW MODULE! Fantasy Metals
Adds a stock array of fantasy metals and attendant ores, to make the world a bit more dangerous and exciting. To ensure dwarves maintain thier technological edge, only they know the secrets to properly alloying the elemental metals (something that likely came with a large number of metalworkers accidentally lighting themselves on fire.)
MINERALS
=By Mephansteras=
-Levitite: Ore of Levisium and Copper. Found in marble as veins. 30% chance to appear.
=By Meph=
- Raw/Native Mithril: Ore of Mithril. Found in small clusters within granite, gneiss, native silver, and galena. Chance to appear granite or gneiss 25%, in galena or native silver 100%
- Wolframite: Ore of Tungsten. Found in small clusters in metamorphic, igneus in- and extrusive layers, and granite. Always found in metamorphic layers, 75% chance in igneus layers.
=By Splint=
- Blazestone: Ore of Incendium and Copper. Dark red. Found in igneous in- and extrusive and metamorphic layers in small clusters and veins.
- Aetherite: Ore of Tempestium and Aluminum. Dark blue. Found in sedementary and metamorphic layers in small clusters and veins.
- Geomantite: Ore of Geomantium and Lead. Dark green. Found in sedemntary and metamorphic layers in small clusters. Of the elemental metals, it's the most likely to be found; very rarely will there not be some small hunks of this stuff around.
- Rimestone: Ore of Glacium and Silver. Bright Blue. Found in sedemntary and metamorphic layers in veins and small clusters.
- Native Titanite: An unrealistic take on titanium ore, It can very rarely be found in any stone anywhere, but is more common in igneous intrusive layers. That being said though it's still quite rare.
- Meteorite: It can very rarely be found in soil layers as single tiles, and in clusters in sedimentary ones. 5% chance of the former, 10% the latter. Due to it having a higher chance/yield of orichalcum, it's considered as valuable as gold as an ore.
METALS
=By Splint=
- Titanium: Between iron and steel in performance, and more valuable than aluminum or platinum thanks to a combination of rarity and utility. Can't be used to make ammo, as it'd be considered incredibly wasteful.
- Star Iron: Similar to the above, but more commonly found and colored the same as iron. More valuable than iron, not as valuable as gold or steel. Like titanium, making ammo from it would be a waste, so I've disallowed such (not that I can stop you from adding the tag back in.)
=By Mephansteras=
- Levisium: Light green metal, not particularly good for weapons and ammo but better than nothing in a pinch. Makes for decent lightweight armor.
- Incendium: High grade general purpose metal that is warm to touch. Dark red.
- Tempestium: Specialty metal crackling with energy, makes for very good ammo, but otherwise not great for other applications. Bright blue.
- Glacium: High grade general purpose metal that is cold to touch. Dark blue.
- Ward Iron: Renamed to Geomantium. Dark green metal, makes for very good armor.
- Blazing Incendium: Potential fire hazard, alloy of Tempestium and Incendium. Superior edge to Incendium. Bright Red.
- Elementium: Renamed to Primordium. Magenta metal, expensive to produce (requires 4 of each of the other 4 elemental metals to make a single bar. Blazing Incidium may not be used.)
=By Meph=
- Mithril: Superior to most applications to Steel, but somewhat uncommon to find, and never in particularly large volumes. Boosted max edge to 15k over original 12k (still inferior to the elemental weapon metals and orichalcum, but much better than Steel)
- Tungsten: Light-colored metal. Good for making weapons, but a bit too heavy to *really* be practical for armor and fairly rare.
- Orichalcum: Superior in all respects to steel, and only extracted in very limited quantities from all smelted ores. While it's no longer the most expensive manufactured metal like in its parent mod, it's still pretty high up there due to its superior performance to steel and uncommon coloration.
EDITED VANILLA FILES (FANTASY METALS) - REQUIRED!
Includes MW's version of inorganic_stone_mineral, which also includes my tweak for using cobalt and pitchblende to glaze stuff. All metal ores also produce orichalcum at a tiny chance/rate.
If that glazing bit's not used, the worst that should happen is an error log report.
NEW MODULE - Generic Fantasy creatures
Due to it being somewhat outside the scope of the main mod, I've included a new creature file that can be used seperate from SVE if you so choose (with one exception, the body_ex_spl file that the medusa needs to work,) that adds various mostly-animal creatures that can be hunted as a means for new adventurers (or rookie militias) to cut their teeth on.
These are typical fantasy fare of giant pests for the most part, with no special lore or fancy descriptions, so they're still in-keeping with DF, just for some they might be considered a bit much.
=Giant Spiders=
A common thing in fantasy. Not for the fearful of the scuttling arachnid. They have a difficulty of 3.
Giant Spider: Found in all non-freezing biomes, usually in groups of 1 to 5. Size 80k.
Giant Frost Spider: Slightly smaller than thier woodland kin at 75k size. Found in tundra, taiga, and mountains.
Giant Sand Spider: Same as the Frost spider, but for deserts and scrublands.
Giant Fen Spider: Significantly larger than the others, and hunts in smaller groups. Found in wetlands and tropical forests. Size 85k.
=Giant Rats=
What fantasy world is complete without these things for nublets to beat on? Or sometimes eat them. Adventuring is no place for the slow-minded, and they serve as a litmus test. Difficulty 2.
Giant Wood Rat: Found in all non-freezing biomes in groups of up to 8. Size 45k and unfriendly.
Giant Arctic Rat: Covered in white, gray, or silver fur, they are found in tundras, mountains and taiga. Size 40k.
Giant Dust Rat: Covered in light brown-colored furs, found in deserts, and scrubland. Size 40k.
Giant Moor Rat: Similar to wood rats, but these beasts are only found in wetlands. They're significantly larger, being almost as big as a dwarf at size 55k. They come in smaller packs as a result.
=Drakelings=
Non-savage SVE Drakes. Medium to large serpentine flying dragon-like creatures. Unlike the spiders, rats, or bats, they prefer to hunt alone or in pairs rather than large groups. Difficulty 4.
Drakeling: A winged, serpentine monster found near mountains and most temperate biomes. Size 100k.
Brush Drakeling: A winged, serpentine monster found in torpical biomes. Size 140k.
Badlands Drakeling: A winged, serpentine monster found in deserts. Size 95k.
=Giant Bats=
Self explainitory, they hunt in packs unlike thier significantly larger underground relatives. They're not that large, being comparable to Giant Wood Rats. Difficulty 2.
Giant Forest bat: A large and unfriendly bat found in woodlands and shrublands. Size 45k.
Giant Snow Bat: A large and unfriendly bat found in Mountinous terrain and Taigas. Size 40k.
Giant Sand Bat: A large and unfriendly bat found in desert terrain. Size 40k.
Giant Swamp Bat: A large and unfriendly bat found in wetlands and tropical forests. Size 55k. Groups are smaller than the others.
=Other stuff=
Miscellaneous things that aren't part of a set, being non-savage versions of SVE creatures.
Golem: Non-savage version of the SVE rock man. More something to be avoided than fought, but you're welcome to try. Difficulty 10.
Tree Spirit: Hostile forest sprit in the shape of a huge humanoid tree, found in any forest or shrubland. Basically an unrestricted version of the SVE treant. Not recommended that rookies fight one of these. Difficulty 5.
Timber Spirit: A hostile forest spirit in the shape of a small, humanoid tree, found in any forest, wetland, or shrubland. Basically unrestricted versions of standard SVE Spriggans. Difficulty 3.
Medusa: A legless humanoid reptile, found in any non-freezing biome alone or in pairs. Size 85k. Non-savage version of the SVE Gorgon. Difficulty 4 since they can potentially disarm you and kill you with your own weapons.
Sand Worm: Non-savage version of SVE Badlands Deathworm. Slightly smaller as well. Difficulty 3.
Snow Worm: Non-savage version of SVE Tundra Deathworm. Slightly smaller as well. Difficulty 4.
Raptorbird: Generic giant bird of prey type enemy. Size 80k and found alone or in pairs in any non-freezing biome. Non-savage version of SVE Rocling. Difficulty 2.
VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO ZM5 AND HUGO THE DWARF, THEY HELPED FIX SO MUCH SHIT THAT BROKE IN THIS UPDATE.
I swear, I was not overjoyed for this new release, which will address many of my largest, worst, problems with the game. It's also starting to edge into more than what was intended, but I managed, mercifully, to stop myself before I went well and truly too far. I do much more, and it's gonna start heading into biome overhaul type shit.
Enjoy everyone, I mean it sincerely, and report any problems because I spent three god-forsaken weeks on this and it needs to function properly god damn it.
