I'd have to agree.  And a-modding I shall go!

[Zeofar]

Err - Was the changing of cram to crab intentional?

When I was living in Edinburgh I tried telling the cute guide in The Stone (the fortress) this. She didn't understand anything.  :roll: I was very surprised, aren't good looks and high intelligence generally correlated? </sarcasm>

Yeah, she must have been a total moron not to think that was hilarious.

You know, we were actually standing next to the Stone of Scone at the time. It wouldn't have take a genetically altered superhuman to understand. Enjoying the joke is naturally another thing altogether.

Yeah.  I have no idea why, but I felt utterly compelled to change it to that and then agree.

I am going to be adding crabs to the game, though.  There is a disturbing lack of crustaceans in this game, which I intend to alleviate.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Wasn't there something about Toady having a traumatic childhood experience involving crustaceans?  Or am I just delusional?

Oh man!  You need to give a "Weak spot" that you can hit for "Massive Damage"!

Oh yeah!  First in the thread to make that joke!

It was badgers methinks.

When he was in college.

[Kagus]

I thought that was a raccoon.

[Flok Speargrabber]

It was a raccoon.

Terry Pratchett is not a model on which to base Dwarf Fortress.

Ever.

Any enterprising modders feel like taking up this challenge?

[Ergates]

What - the challenge to NOT base DF on Pratchett.

Donut: I been testing and playing with my personal Pratchett mod for a couple of weeks now. Elves are the evil race, and feel NOPAIN, while troll clans (made of minerals and metals, so you see things like Wondercoal, native copper troll peasant, in @mode) wander about in the mountains, and Feegles have replaced kobolds as fightin' and drinkin' and stealin' bastards. They move ridiculously fast and are hard to stop in fortress mode, but I adventured with one the other day and headbutted a cyclops into unconsciousness, so it evens out.

Dwarven bread is what's been killing me. I CANNOT get a working reaction. The smelter doesn't handle any kind of extracts, for the most part, and I can't even get it to use cave wheat leaves (the plain harvested sort). I could just make a plain stone-only reaction, but.. there's hardly any point in that, I'd know it was a sham. -.-

On the upside, my last fort mined out a couple of treacle veins. But again, due to smelter limitations, I can't turn it into syrup, and I can't make it auto-cookable as a mineral. -.- I managed to get a working fat reaction, though, so you can mine out fat and turn it into elephant tallow.
