Gened Dungstombs was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of it's kind. A gigantic hairy ceratopsid. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it undulates rhythmically. Its cobalt hair is unkempt. Beware it's fire! Gened was associated with water, disease, and caverns.

Anyway, my best guess is that Slade is hardcoded to be indestructible. If you look in the Raw definitions, it's density, strength in all categories, etc. are all so absurdly high, I'm not sure nuclear fire would melt it.

Its also apparently custom reaction proof. I tried making it in a smelter and the reaction made clay instead.

Slade has no metal version or anything like that for a reason. It is unminable. I came across some non-clown HFS in a temple made of slade (see a few pages back), and it can not be designated for mining (much like partially molten rock found at magma seas). However, I would bet removing the [DEEP] tag would change that...

Strange thought, and I'm sure if it does work it's probably a bug, but...
Did you try designating it to be removed as construction?

[Aklyon]

I copied the info for Slade from inorganic_stone_mineral.txt into inorganic_metal.txt, then added 3 lines to fill in what all the rest of the metals had but it didn't. then I made a reaction to make the metal bar, and it worked. But the metalsmith's forge doesn't notice it. can/how do you fix that?

My first imopression? What the --- ---! Wow
The embark screen. The list of skills, to be precise. Dwarves can be trained to bite, kick and hit stuff with random objects? By Ironblood, I see martial arts involving various pieces of furniture. Also, the detailed descriptions of dwarves. I could become attached to those little buggers.
And then in fortress mode, digging down, down... down... hey, why is there an ocean under my fortress? And a sea of magma? Wow... it's freaking dwarf heaven on a 4x4 embark

My second genned world has a carpload of forgotten beasts. Venturing into the underground ought to be Fun.

Exporting the legends to XML produced a 11.6 MB document. That's a lot of stuff. :O The code seems to have issues, though (all the HTML is visible.)

[Lemunde]

Has anyone tried adventure mode yet?  Any neat changes there or anything?

[Ampersand]

I tried it. Recruiting seems a lot easier this time around. I got a fairly decent axe-man as a partner with just my base wrestling skills. We killed a cougar together. We died when we tried to fight a dragon, though.

[Peewee]

Uh. I was just skimming through the raws.
Who else is looking forward to meeting up with a

So I was poking around the Raws based on curiosity over the whole Bronze Colossus thing (they can be killed, BTW; you just need to mod in a weapon big enough to do it, as none exist in vanilla) and did a little math.

Assuming the sizes progress linearly, a Bronze Colossus should be roughly 285.7 times the size of an average human. Assuming 5'9" is average, that makes it about 1642 feet tall. Taller than most skyscrapers.

At 1000 years, Dragons are bigger.
Look out Tokyo.

Edit: Turns out my math is bad and this is completely wrong. C'est la vie.

Except size is actually a measure of volume. Height does not increase linearly.

Sooo, they're just really, really bloated then?

They add width as they add height is what I think he means?

"The Forgotten Beast kicks The War Dog in the head with its left front foot, bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing apart the brain!"

That's right: it kicked it so hard and fast that it forced the dog's skull right through the brain and out of its head, presumably leaving the brain still in there, splattered about in the cavity.

And yet they still fit easily in the one story high front door.

Not necessarily - height is unspecified. Thus we assume they are approximately as tall as one would expect a dragon of that volume to be.
