Toady seems to be about three days away, and we're forty-five pages from 1000! Come on, guys! Last push!
Cut that out. It's meaningless if you're posting for posts.
( Carry on the story. A single sentence / statement is what works best. )
There's a Forum Games forum for that.
Please could you release a list of new creature names so that those making tilesets can prepare them in advance?
He a'ready said no. Sorry.
I am positive I remember Toady mention that a single burrow can span multiple z levels.
However when I tried to steal Foot's thunder by finding the quote I failed. I think he has the search function bribed to do his bidding, and anybody but him searching for an answer comes up with nothing.
is 'cause it's in the devlog, not this thread.
Hey Toady, i've heard you gonna make little fixes and additions after A release, so heres questions/requests, i'm particulary interested in minor code improvements that may be simple for you, but add drastic modding possibilities, and thus change gameplay.
He's said the gates closed for that a while back.
On the topic of Footkerchief:
I'm pretty sure, he just compiles in a text or word file every post made by Toady. Then, any time someone has a question about something already posted, he just searchs that file, which is a lot better than the in-forum search engine.
Or maybe he's set up a wiki, and interlinked everything? That'd be pretty crazy.

The In-forum search engine is better than you might think, if you know how to grok it. If you've got a good memory it becomes fairly trivial to find something you remember Toady saying.
Damn. I'll never be any good at it then, my memory is terrible.
P.S. you can't know how to grok something, you either do or you don't. Knowing how to grok is a meaningless and impossible statement.
This forum's search function is tricky because you can't phrase-search,
and it doesn't e'en stop substrings. First, remember the author. Barring that, the trick is to remember 3-5 Important Words (as few as 1 if uniquely there). Example: "Oregon/Dwarven Trail mode" for describing the expedition to get to the fort site.
Also grok is a stupid word.
Not least because of its original context.
Is not. (non-Scots?)English lacked a word for this, some other lingua did not. Compare
wissen to
kennen in German, for instance.
Also, Heinlein's certainly worth reading, though some of his later works Got Weird.
Ahaha. Tell this to graphite and diamonds.
Ouch, chemical burn!
Bwahahaha! Well played.
