Hello everyone. I'm rather new to the Genesis mod, but I decided to give it a try recently.

I'm not sure whether or not this is intentional, as it seems out of balance with what I've played of Vanilla DF, but in my very first night creature quest I found two sets of black steel lamellar armor.

Looking at the metal list, Black steel is the third best metal in the game.

Is it normal to get such good loot, or did I just get insanely lucky?

[myrkul]

Yeah, the orcs have a tendency to pump out black steel like there's no tomorrow... Not sure if that's intended, or an unavoidable consequence of the way DF does "off-camera" reactions.

[KarolineDianne]

I just found an orc city... And yeah... Almost everything was black steel. The only problem: No shopkeepers.

It seems half the towns are empty, and there's no one in the castles except maybe a lord or lady. Is that an issue with .19?

I've been running .18 in vanilla because it's more stable. Is there a .18 release for this, or perhaps a way to keep everyone from dying off?

[myrkul]

In .19, things have a tendency to starve. I'd hate to think what's happening to those poor nords up on the icecaps.

I've found several forts with nothing but animals in 'em.

There is an .18 release, a few pages back, I think.

Here you go:
Slightly modified from base genesis: I added a slightly more valuable leather made from scales.
Snakeskin boots!

Just download df 31.18 (if you don't already have it) and delete the data and raw folders. replace them with the ones in there, and you're all set.

I've actually taken to having my dwarves move into those abandoned fortresses waste not what not!

[KarolineDianne]

Thanks Myrkul... However I seem to be having problems with the graphics.

I turned off the tileset, but now everything is slightly off color-wise, and when I walked into town, the people were all empty tiles.

Did I do something wrong?

You mean, besides turning off the graphics?

Deon's done quite a bit of modification to the graphics raws, changing colors, shifting tiles around... I wouldn't even begin to know where to start to change a Tileset version back to curses.

[KarolineDianne]

I see... Well I suppose I'll have to deal with .19 until populations are fixed then.

If it's not ASCII, I can't play it, unfortunately. Tilesets ruin DF for me.

In the meantime, is there perhaps something in the creature or entity raws I can change so people dont starve?

[myrkul]

adding [NO_EAT] to the creature raws for each civ. should do the trick.

Deon might be able to help you get the graphics right, he should be on later.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

hey, anyone of you guys know how to change the speed for the speed on the dwarfs for i cant find them in the creature_standard.txt, i found the dwarfs and their castes in the creature_genesis.txt but i cant find anything but swim speed.

[Zargen]

You change it by adding [SPEED: whatevernumber] to the creature_genesis.txt file. SPEED:1 makes them light speed dwarves.

[KarolineDianne]

Oh dear lawd, making everything [NO_EAT] seems to have worked... A little too well. Now every single shop is absolutely full of people. Like... Packed!

Ha, this is interesting. At least it worked. Thanks Myrkul.
