I wish he'd do the more specific stuff (like the hydra test) before he went into the random bugs that remained, seeing as how it's so difficult to see progress now...

I think its because the test is invalid if performed while there are crash causing bugs and layer bugs running around. All or most of those have to be fixed first so the hydra test can have trustworthy results.

[smjjames]

He could just toss a Hydra and something capable of killing it into arena mode once in a while to check on it, but hey, not like we determine his schedule or anything.

Absurdly valuable dragon pus (and absurdly low value dragon teeth)?

Best. Bug. Ever.

[Greiger]

Yea I might very well mod high value dragon pus back in after the release. Just as a tribute.

I mean hell, not like you'd be able to actually harvest the stuff...  At least not until Dwarven Science catches up anyway.

For now, I'll just settle with adding this to the dragon raw.

[Shoku]

dragon pus was like creamy gold. Infect and collect!

Eew, lol.

Heh. It's like a Pat Mills comic or something. Although, if dragons had an incredibly strong immune system, their pus might be incredibly valuable by dint of it containing the deadliest pathogens imaginable.

Well no, the pus is the dead white blood cells and dead pathogens. It's the corpuscle that would be useful for that.

If it's any consolation, it seems like they're managing to get a bit further through a fortress. There's less "The dwarves' eyeballs turned to magma on embark and then the game crashed" type bugs and more wierd non-gamebreaking quirks that only become apparant after a while. The kind that the version will inevitably ship with, and people will actually be sad when they're fixed.

It's also quite promising that he's got the game out to other testers - that's one of the signs that things are getting more stable.

Agreed.  Yoink!

By the sound of the dev log, the absurdly valuable pus was proper behavior.  The problem was that the teeth weren't valuable.  Unless I'm wrong.  I can be wrong.  Somebody back me up on this.

While I may be wrong...I think the teeth were supposed to be valuable, while the pus was not.
But don't quote me on that.

[G-Flex]

It would make sense for dragons' bodily fluids to be valuable in general; in the days of folk medicine and alchemy, imagine how much that stuff would go for.

That's the impression I got. It seemed like he intended for all parts of the dragon to have a specific value mod, and the bugged and made it so only the last item on the list was modded, instead of the entire list. Pus and teeth were both on the list, but pus was at the bottom, so pus got the modifier it was supposed to have and teeth didn't get any modifier.

[Misterstone]

Personally, I am reassured by the fact that people have had forts that are at least a few years old.  That means a couple hours of gameplay without catastrophic failure or crashes.  That means... stability!

[smjjames]

Dragons teeth should be up there with Adamantine in value. Its the kind of thing you really want to have be a masterpiece creation or part of an artifact.

Although if you're running a dragon farm, I guess you can do whatever you want.

[PeterTheEvilBastard]

If there is even a remote posiibility of creating a DRAGON FARM.... Please someone tell me it will be possible? It would be even more epic than mermen and unicorns.
