I am so SICK OF GOLD.
« on: April 03, 2010, 08:58:11 pm »

Believe it or not, after hitting about 25-30 veins of the stuff (and compulsively mining them all out), you start to get sick of the stuff. I have literally had to mod gold for use in every kind of metal object available, including clothes, just to get rid of the damn stuff. Anyone else have this problem?

Well, you could sell it all to the hippies for everything they have.

There's way more useful underground stuff than in 40d, not only gold but everything, including gems. 25-30 Veins should be what, a few thousand? Just make blocks/bars and build a tower or something.
Or make a carpton of statues, melting down everything below masterwork quality and keeping only the very best to line every road and hallway.

I think of dwarves as the ones described by Terry Pratchett. The ones who have at least 1000 songs about gold, every single one with the lyrics "gold gold gold gold"... there is no such thing as too much gold ;)

Okay, modding did nothing. How can I mod gold to be used in any kind of metal object? I really want my dwarves to be garbed entirely in gold clothes! The traders will be blinded by my yellow!

Pave your tunnels. All of them. Then when you finish, pave any and all caves you come across.

Make all your roads of gold too. And structures. You can't have enough for all of that.

If you do, try to encase every GCS in gold.

There are the regular raws in /raw/objects but they're also saved with each region. If you want to change anything withouth generating a new region, you'll have to edit the ones in /data/save/region<x>/raw/objects.

Stud EVERYTHING.

I have a bucket with a finely-crafted copper handle. It is so pimp.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.
