What's your major anyways?

[TomiTapio]

Deon's on the Moscow time zone so he's on the forums at odd hours
I'm on Finland/East European time zone.

Also remember he had the "Dwarf Fortress Complete" mod back in DF 40d, May 2009.

Damn, another fort with only two metals (but three biomes). Gold above cave1 and silver in cave1, NOTHING orelike below that. This with [MINERAL_SCARCITY:1500].

My tunings progress: make less deadly "rough spike" from wood and regular "menacing spike" from metals. Because 30 wooden spikes defeating a siege didn't seem right.

I was about to suggest silver hammers as that's the most common weapon metal I keep finding in my vanilla embarks but then remembered that's not possible in Genesis.  What was the reason behind not being able to make them in Genesis?

I'm quite enjoying the scarcer metals actually, makes it feel more like you are embarking into the wilderness.

I saw your trapcomps suggestion, I'm using it . Thanks for the letter.

Hehe, you tracked that one down? I thought I removed it. Well, it makes the 14th of May to be an (un)official 2-year birthday of Genesis .

Radiophysics and medical engineering. I am making special glass with a surface plasmon effect for biosensors now, almost every day (and almost manually ).

I wanted to make "precious" metals like gold and silver which were not used for weapons to stay the same way for DF. It was fine when we had a TON of metals, but now sometimes you have no choice. So I am including alchemical reactions to turn gold into Sun Gold (which Ezrakim elves use) and silver to Moon Silver. Maybe it sounds a bit cliche, but it works for me .

Diploma?  Deon, things like a future, success, and money are highly overrated.  You should focus all your time on things of substance such as upgrading, updating and enhancing Genesis!  Jeez man, get your priority's straight! 

You should've told me it before I adopted a wife and a child. Oh wait, I forgot that it works backwards. Women are like cats: they adopt you and leave you no choice. I wish I could have more than one like dwarves do with cats though .

How many levers and spike traps were you planning on installing in your home?

Is this compatible with 0.31.25? If so, then holy crap I think I might die from the awesome.

Whats the latest version its compatible with? This looks amazing.

[Vorthon]

Just out of curiousity, have you considered adding punching daggers to Genesis?

I've got some raws I put together for them somewhere in the maze of folders that is my laptop...

If I whipped up some new dwarven castes, would you be willing to add them to Genesis? Just askin'...

It is amazing, you'll never want to go back to vanilla after playing this

It is a shame we can't command "this weapon is blunt and can be made from non-warfare metals" or "this metal can be used for non-edged weapons". Perhaps 2-4 gems are used up turning gold into HammerGold? Or extra much fuel is needed?
And maybe sun gold and moon silver should be slightly better than copper and cobalt, so as not to compete with bronzes and steels? Always happy to buy a red steel pick from caravans.
What about the gold & steel you get from sacrificing weapons at Altar of War? Feels like cheating to sac loads of wood/bone crossbows and out comes steel.

While we wait for Genesis 25, check out Genesis .19a4 plus my .23 - .25 tunings, here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8967397/Gen25_Ironhand_March30_interim_TT_raws.zip
No new civs or new-vanilla-creature graphics, but it's .25 compatible. And ore frequencies & learning rates slightly boosted.

Maybe sun gold could start off as moon silver, but after an expensive procedure it could be turned into sun gold?

Screw it, im bored, have a lot of time right now, and this looks badass. Hello older version, and hello Genesis.
