I present to you, the community, a mod which is still under constant development. It's goal is to improve vanilla Dwarf Fortress without changing the underlying game mechanics too much. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have had fun creating it. Please leave comments, feedback, criticisms, ideas and whatever else. I will take all feedback seriously, I plan to release more versions in the future. Happy gaming. PS - Promise to clean up the thread later. The READ-ME is written in a more user-friendly format.

Yeeey!

Curious though: why'd you only take little tiny pieces from all the mods you mentioned?

I took a lot of inspiration but I didn't want to blatantly rip off one or more modifications. I wanted most of the work to be original and fresh. Hopefully I've achieved that. I am interested in hearing what people think once they try this modification which I must stress again is no-where near finished. This is just sort of a teaser.

[i2amroy]

It would be really cool if you could set up the mod in a mac usable file, like .zip. Because I would really like to try your mod, but it is in .rar format so my computer cannot access it.

[Tonjevic]

Just a little note:

Ebony is actually a wood, not a metal.

Otherwise, good job!

[Sean Mirrsen]

And I believe the original concept of the all-economic-stone mod was, though inadvertedly created but still, mine.

Other than that, the mod looks nice. I'm sure you won't mind if I "Modbaseify" it? Because you seem to know exactly what you changed, and Modbase requires no more than that.

[mizipzor]

Nice! more stuff to grow is something ive been looking for.

[Duke 2.0]

 I wonder...

 What this Ebony inspired from the volcanic glass from Morrowind?

I'm going to change the RAR file to a ZIP file. I was unaware that RAR files could not be used by Macs. Please check the download link again after you see this message.

Of course you may mod-base-a-fy-ling it .

You are correct, that is the metal that 'ebony' is modeled after. Ebony the tree/wood has not yet been implemented in-game.

[Keilden]

Snotlings? As in those weak creatures that even goblin bully?

[Deon]

I'm sure you won't mind if I "Modbaseify" it?

There's a problem, Sean.

There already are a lot of components for modbase which will conflict with this mod because it uses parts of them. So you'll have duplicate creatures from angler mod, duplicate plants from botany mod, duplicate toys from toymod, duplicate instruments from instrument mod etc.

It's hardly compatible as a component because it is not a component, it's a nice stand-alone light compilation of other components. Basically I make such things for myself to enjoy the game more.

Also the selection is a bit strange. Why the spear only? o_O
Also my favourite part of the toymod are figurines of creatures =). My mayor had a full set of different creatures to play table games. It's sad that he didn't use it while being "on break" though.

[The13thRonin]

Correct. Small and un-intelligent goblins in short. Sort of a kobold-goblin crossbreed.

I just did the spear because I haven't got around to adding all the rest of the stuff yet. This is only V0.2. A pre-release teaser modification. It is nowhere near finished yet.

[Deon]

why don't include whole toymod then? Why do you want to make something that is already made? o_O
It's not that I don't like it, I just want to understand why...

P.S. In Modbase version I divided toys by type so you can easily enable only desired ones.

I see no other mod which aims to improve on vanilla Dwarf Fortress with a focus on variety. And in answer to your question please read the thread closer.

You can download rar for Mac. Even if you couldn't, you could still download the source and compile it.
