This is how I play Dwarf Fortress!

I use pieces of it

I use it for modding examples

I don't, I was just curious

Giant floating Jellyfish.

You'll also see Sun Dancers, which are small floating Jellyfish. And Mist Flayers, who are giant aggressive floating jellyfish.

That's where good-drawn creature sprites are handy .

I was encountering a problem where miners, straight after embark, kept dropping their picks when they weren't actually mining. A brief look at 'mattocks' found they need to be set to use two weapons.

First off, great work.  I'm really enjoying this mod and Frost Giant Citadel (though I've played that less).

I've packaged Civilization Forge (installed on 40d17) and the graphics mod together, for ease of (well, lack of) installation.  You can download it here.  If the mod's creator would like me to take it down, send me a PM and I will.

People are really nice these days, thank you Aeltar .

May I ask you to upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com? It's much easier to download from there  and it's a major DF files portal. I could do it instead of you, but you're the author of the bundke so you'd better be listed as an uploader instead of me.

Nifty. Glad you're enjoying the mod!

File uploaded to DFFD including links to standalone versions of the mod and graphics pack.

Does the complete graphics pack include soil, rock, floor tiles etc or only creatures? I really like the idea of RantingRodents representation of ores and gems based on value.

[Mephansteras]

Would someone be able to help this fellow with getting tilesets to work with the graphics?

I really should figure out the ins and outs of tilesets and graphics someday. I feel bad not being able to help people with it.

Bump: more info on making graphics work is at the link. Or click:

for info on making Mayday's awesome characters and graphics play with Civilization Forge and the additional CF characters!

[SquidgyB]

Yeah, I should've posted here as well tbh, for consolidation here's the link:

There's info on what needs to be done to get it working on the dffd page.

All I did was take the package posted earlier and did what was needed to fix the issues. Please do post any issues with it, I'll try to get them fixed if there are any

Question for people: How often do you use the various Elemental metals? (Glacium, Incendium, Tempestium, Elementium?)

Has anyone other then me ever even used Elementium?

What about Ward Iron?

If you do use them, how do you use them? Do you save the metal for moods? Wait until you have a Legendary smith?

I'm trying to decide what I want to do with these infused metals for the next version, so it's good to know how the existing versions are used.

[Mephansteras]

Hmmm, I was hoping for a bit more response on that.

In any case, I am planning on making the infuser reaction create more bars per gem. You rarely get enough of any one metal beyond Glacium to even make a full suit of armor. Not a big deal with Incendium or Tempestium, since they're  more for weapons, but it sucks with Ward Iron.

[smokingwreckage]

Well I keep losing forts before I get to the stage where I'd let a Legendary ++++ smith at the stuff. That'd be what I did, although locking a moody smith in a room with some might be fun too.

I just started playing with this mod yesterday, so I don't understand enough to even be helpful.
