I play it

I didn't play it but I'd play it with the new version

I don't play it and I won't play it

[Keita]

I play it. In fact it's the only DF I play at the moment.

Also voting for enjoy mod then make one for new version.

[Hippoman]

Well lookie here. I found all my pre-reformat files.
Edem here I come.
Too bad I deleted the program files folder of df fallout...

[Deon]

It looks like it's 16 vs 2 . I would be a total slacker if I ignore it. Actually I plan to revamp DF Fallout even now, while we wait, to produce a bit different and "complete" 1.6 .

[Deon]

I'm personally thinking about adding titanium to rutile and ilmenite layers, because now we have "steel" as the most awesome metal ever which is kinda strange. It would allow iron+titanium alloys which should be awesome as armor and weaponry material.

iron+flux+coal -> pig iron
 pig iron -> cast iron x2 (brittle, nice for structures, not good for armor/weapons)
 pig iron + flux -> steel

titanium x3 + iron -> Fe-Ti alloy x4

If it's possible, maybe you can add a dummy race like "past humans"  that are incredibly weak for the purpose of creating ruins.

On that, it would be cool if you can have civs started at triggers.
For example, you could have all the other races created after the past humans die out.
[CIV_BEGIN_TRIGGER]
          [PAST_HUMAN:LESS_THAN:5:POPULATION]

[Deon]

It would be cool . Sadly there's no CIV_BEGIN_TRIGGER.

 I was thinking about some "dead" civilizations by giving their entity creatures a lifespan of 4-5 years and unability to breed... Well, maybe. But they'd normally block normal races so I'd have to make bigger maps. I'll check it.

Where's the option to vote "I didn't play it because I didn't know about it, but now I've clicked the link in Deon's sig and in all certainty will download and try it out"?

 

(edit: voted for middle option)

[Deon]

Hehe. Thanks for your post. I forgot about this poll for a while, and now I clearly see that I will have a desire to make mods when the new version arrives ASAP .

[Grendus]

I'll add this one to the list, next to the new version of Dig Deeper. Looks interesting.

[Dragula]

The fun thing is, I actually found dwarf fortress from No mutants allowed. Haha. Will try it out.

[Deon]

Hello . I am on NMA too. Good to see you. And good luck .

[Safe-Keeper]

DF must be a fairly awesome game to mod, what with the lack of advanced 3D graphics.

Just downloaded the mod, starting my first fort now (that is, looking for river).

[Deon]

Good luck with it. The "wasteland" setting makes much less rivers, if any. However there're brooks still.

[Safe-Keeper]

I found a beautiful (well, for the wasteland) setting with a river and waterfall. So I now have a meeting hall centred on a mist-filled bridge across the river, below the fall . Should help keep people happy.

Almost instantly my fisherman had his arm badly wounded by something in the river, and then I made the big mistake of deciding I was going to hunt radscorpion, so he is now dead. I also had to remove my three beds because I don't have buckets for my wounded fisherman, so he'd thirst to death if he was to lie in bed until recovered.

I have also discovered there's an abundance of microcline all around me.

Fun times. EDIT: Can't wait for the first caravan. I'm gonna buy guns aplenty .

I want to explain my vote of "I don't play it and won't play it".  I think the components of the mod are a wonderful contribution to the DF community.  I refused to play the original Fallout, however, and I won't play one in DF.  I have spoilered the details so as not to bore people.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For those of us who were impressionable young children during the Cuban missile crisis, Fallout is an altogether too frightening game.  Surviving in extreme conditions is not in itself very frightening when it is a voluntary choice, nor are dragons and ogres very terrible because they don't really exist.  The thought of civilization reduced to gangs living in rubble is, however, too very much like what I and the adults in my life feared would happen back then.  Fears instilled in childhood are hard to overcome, and I am not convinced as an adult that we could not still end up there.  Contemplation of that kind of world as entertainment is not my idea of fun.  However, playing a game on the ruins of someone else's civilization is okay with me because we all live in those conditions in one way or another, thus I consider the components of this mod to be highly re-usable.

I was born in '85 and thus wasn't too old when the Cold War ended, but I feel the same way about the Fallout games. There's something about its atmosphere that is just unsettling to me. Not only does Fallout have the lawlessness, lack of resources and anarchy, but it's got disfigured people and monsters on top of that.

The landscape of Fallout (and Fallout in DF) is just chilling.
