i'd say an update with the wiki but for something in game i don't know

[Flaede]

Oops, I think I removed it in the latest versions because it was not up do date :/.

I will update it and put it in soon.

Any ideas or requests for a Halloween release?

- What is a goblin's favorite dessert?
- I-Scream!!

Pumpkins
Jackolantern toy trade items. (made of "Carved Pumpkin" ?)
Headless Centaurs with "Flaming Pumpkin Breath" (burning globs of pumpkin?)

[Deon]

Pumpkins are in like... from the first release?

[Eagle_eye]

A small chance for a dwarf to be born a psychopath, who at a certain age, simply goes beserk. Is that possible?

Also: maybe some sort of witch monster that exudes toxins causing minor syndromes?

Hey I'm wondering what is the purpose behind some of the new workshops for instance:
-Altars of Nature and War
-Philosophers garden
-Potted plant
-Display case

I'm sorry if these questions have been answered already the thread is way too long for me to find it.

[Lord Shonus]

Altars allow you to "sacrifice" something in exchange for something else.
Display cases simply allow you to put any item on display for room value or asthetics.

[Deon]

Yeah, Lord Shonus is right.

I.e. Altar of war takes weapons and has a really low chance to give you an uberweapon. I just thought that some community game may want an altar of sorts, and I didn't want to add a building without a purpose.

Philosopher's garden allows you to train concentration and something else, I should check. Again, it's for flavor mostly, because I don't think that the concentration skill makes a big difference for now.

Potted plant is just to make your plazas, squares and corridors to look prettier.

? they are? Wow. I have never run across them in all the forts I've made.
I more included that one as the prereq. for the following ones.

Display cases also make the "display" item unstealable. Which is hella-useful.

I had the Demon Cats earlier, biting adventurers' ankles and being a general nuisance. (emails them to Deon)

Not possible. Could make gloomers super-grumpy, and may be they would never make a friend then. High anger and low patience too.

[Eagle_eye]

maybe a rare caste of dwarf that exudes mildly toxic gas, but has a heatdam point of 0?

Deon, you should get ready for 31.17 ;P
Also, will you update Wasteland after the new DF release?
I'm wondering, because it adds aimed attacks=xenomorph face bites!

[DwarfOfDefeat]

Awesome idea (i hope) a non playable undead race that roams the maps and kill thing which in then turns them undead. it would be a cool idea but it would need to be limited to what it can do. for example how would you like over 200 undead things appearing out of the blue? (OH GOD! THE LAGG!) maybe they start with like... say 10 of them when they decide to attack your base. and whatever they kill on the map turns undead? Just thinking of this makes me see alot of players putting up quarrentine areas (incase it happens they make it into your base)

Or xenomorphs that grapple - then inject?

I had around 250 attackers at a time and it was not laggy as long as nobody was a building destroyer. Otherwise your FPS would die . I am careful now with that token.

Sure. That's the main thing which holds me back. I just don't want to update both versions (and actually it would make 6 versions, considering all the tileset/ASCII fuss) of .12/.16. I will just move on .17 with both mods. I also wanted to include new critters into the Wasteland mod after I've played Fallout: New Vegas.

[DwarfOfDefeat]

scince this would be my first mod ive ever downloaded i need some help... where do i extract / put the file at?
