So, 'crucible steel' is harder than steel and comes from ilmenite?  It's titanium.

Actually, it's an alloy of steel that contains Vanadium.

I can't seem to use bauxite or rock salt for their respective alchemical things in the alchemy lab.

[Mephansteras]

Huh. Ok, I'll test those out.

i cant find the Alchemy Workbench or the Jarmaker's Workshop or the Oil Press.

None of those are needed anymore.

You can make jars from stone, clay, or glass using the normal workshops. Same way you'd make pots or jugs.

The oil press capabilities came in Vanilla DF with the Screw Press, so you just that now. You can use Rock Nuts to make oil by milling it to paste and then pressing it. Same thing you'd do to make oil for soap. Tunnel tubes no longer give oil, but if you trade or find oil pods you can use them the same way you use rock nuts.

They work fine for me. I wonder if there is a tag missing in the files you have. I'll make sure all the files are synced up properly with the next release.

On that note, I spend a good chunk of time this weekend testing and tweaking the mod. It's just about ready for full scale release, which I'm hoping to have out in the next day or two.

Any more bugs or issues with the test files?

Nice mod, might give it a spin

Very possible, I had some issues installing it as I forgot a few things, then copied it from the non test version or something, so there might be a few mixed up raw files in there.

I'm bumping this thread since I'm going to be playing a game of Dwarf Fortress again, and despite looking through the mods forum, there are just no other mods that do the same thing that Civilization Forge does.

Is this mod still being worked on? It'd be a shame if it just kinda died out.

Also, on an unrelated note, is there any chance to lower the possibility of sieges and ambushes? Because when you're bordered by 6+ hostile races, thing spiral out of control real fast. It's still fun, but you will never receive another caravan again.

[Mephansteras]

It's sort of been on hiatus as I've been working on other stuff. But it does occur to me that I never officially released the Library version, so I should do that soon.

As for dialing back the sieges...that's a little tougher to do. The game doesn't really give me a decent way to do that. However, as an easy fix you could just restrict yourself to 1 or 2 hostile races in a world gen. Say, Violet Xelics and Bugbears for one world and Chaos Dwarves and Sand Raiders for another. It's pretty easy to do, you just stick all of the entity files you don't want into a folder while you do the world gen and just bring them back out when you want them. Goblins are still in the default entity file with dwarves, humans, and elves, though, so you're kind of stuck with them unless you put in the effort to split them out.

I went into the entity files and changed the active seasons of all hostile races to summer, and non-hostile races to all other months. That way you can have both worlds, at least in theory.

I'm getting a crash every time the vamarian caravan shows up. I'm playing version 2.42. Anyone else have this problem?

Hmm. I haven't seen that, but it could be related to a creature. Might be fixed in the newest version, since I did muck with some of the creatures.

In related news, I'm running some final tests to work out a few bugs I found. I plan on releasing the Library edition this week so people can play with that for a bit. I know Toady will have out a new version of DF in the next few months, but this should tide people over for a bit.

[Mephansteras]

Sorry about the delay on this, folks, I've been getting a crash on my latest test fort and haven't been able to pin down what it is.

If you make a back door for your traders so there's only one place on the edge of the map that's depot accessible, sometimes two caravans will try to spawn on the same square and crash the game.
