The thing about building fortresses normally is that you end up with massive amounts of useless objects strewn around that make your grand crystal palace look like a pigsty.  With the lack of bottomless pits in the next version this could be even worse.

But yes, the intent seems to be to limit modding to stuff that is completely optional and can be reversed when the fort goes to the next person. If you want to speed hack your dwarves to clean up the mess around your fort before you abandon, that should still be legal.


Thought on item strewing: If valuable items move deeper underground than cheap ones, and light objects move farther than heavy ones, is it possible that adamantine items are finding their way right off the bottom of the map?

I strongly encourage the creation of batch files for easily adding and removing things such as super fast, indestructible dwarves that don't eat or sleep, and reactions that easily create things such as adamantine, steel, copper, rose gold, mermaid bones, and camel bones...

A strange thing happened while I was attacking Hauntevil.  I killed the Demon Queen and climbed my way to the top of the tower she was in.  There were a lot of goblin merchants and their pack animals, so I was bashing away with my adamantine mace.  At some point, I was getting mass announcements of goblin merchants falling over in pain.  I looked at the renaming goblin merchants, and they all had yellow injury hands.

This was odd, but I ignored it and kept whacking away at merchants to stop the announcement flood.  Suddenly, my screen fills up with announcements of likely EVERY GOBLIN MERCHANT bleeding to death.  I'm not sure how this happened, but I've also been getting announcements of guards and dwarven children falling over in pain.  I inspected the first dwarf child I came across and they had yellow hand injuries too!

I ended up leaving the site to in an attempt to find out what was the name of the settlement, but I've reentered it to see if more inhabitants are suffering from bleeding hand disease.

Excerpt of sudden goblin merchant death syndrome

EDIT: Looking around the place, but it seems a lot of members left (probably from all the chasm creature attacks and massive merchant death)

Found a child with slightly discolored hands, evidence of their previous hand trauma?

And a pump operator (taken after I bashed them once)

EDIT EDIT:

Yep, more mass merchant death.  Is it something they're holding?

This Swordsdwarf seems to be immune.  It has leather and iron on, and was holding bone crafts.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:

An immune child (after I hit her left wrist/hand...)  Has silk on.

I also put on a dwarf bone bracelet and ring, but I'm not sustaining any injuries.

Maybe you should check your error log to see if somehow a file got corrupted (such as a leather item losing its temperature and freezing)?

Hehehe, the goblins mostly arnt wearing gloves. Their hands are freezing off, and they bleed to death.

I had that once, only it was so cold that it happened to not just their hands. My adventurer allmost froze to death as well.

Still I wonder why those goblins had so many merchants...

Make them as corpse drops from kittens, messing with the reaction file makes it so the save won't work with vanilla DF.

Plus if you've got adamantine junk pouring out of every fort around it kind of takes away the challenge.

That's wrong. You can edit reactions like it was no thing and you won't need a regen. You can't, however, add or remove reactions. That's why we have a bunch of blank reactions in there that can be changed however the recent player needs them.

The point is to have a file that you just need to run and the settings will be cheateriffic, and and then easily restore them to default values when you are finished with it.

Yeah, I know, but I can't do that, my .bat-fu is severely lacking.

I put together something in my ill-fated effort to build a fort.

That explains it.  Though it seems weird for goblins to have merchants at all.

I'm enjoying this project more and more.  Keep up the good work!
