Speaking of Yaks, is there a reason mine are always jerks? They randomly kick/gore at anything nearby, even eachother, but it's usually just bruising. I keep checking the combat report, thinking that dire wolves might be mauling my fishermen again!

Animals get annoyed by being crowded.  It seems to be worse with the larger animals like yaks and water buffalo, I try and give them their own pasture to stop this.  Or just slaughter them, I find livestock farming a bit tedious now.

C should now be the only letter left.

Well I might as well make my procrastination complete and useful at the same time - I'll get cracking on C, shouldn't take too long...

[spriksprak]

Done  will post to Deon.

Has anyone gotten alchemy to work? I can't seem to get it working, all reactions are red in workshop. I have marble(flux) and metals. I have read the reactions.

Nice work, Patchouli and Sprikspråk! Perhaps Deon will put out a version on Thursday, assuming the icon drawing is done.

Yeah that's a sad bug with pathfinding i guess. Not only alchemy, but my dorfs cant butcher\make charcoal, cremate parts\etc if the material they need is
- quite far away a 5-10 z levels away - 100%failue
- on same level but still quite away - 75% failure
- only one\two rooms away - 25%.

And yeah, my alchemy was reed too, having all the requested resourses. But then i build it on supplies and, it worked.
Most stupid bug i've witnesed like i've got 3 Charcoal furnaces, and two rooms fool of wood near them. So when the last piese of wood are burned from the closest room - bam, no wood, cant make cahrcoal (not ot mention i've got  wood outside, and deep below)
So ill had to set again to make charcoal, and, probably, that took em to calculate a new way to wood stocpile, and it worked.

So i guess i've learned to live with that kind of things - i cant make soap underground if tallow is outside still in butchery (reaction is read), alchemy stuff, and so on.

(Speaking for 3.24) I run into those "having reactions redded out when I have all the materials" problem a lot, you can try using the job manager (j --> m) to queue the job you want. The jobs will then appear in their workshops and the dorfs will perform them as normal (you can just set the jobs on repeat if you want), no idea what that bug is about.

[Deon]

Yep, I don't know what causes that bug (I had it with butchering/soapmaking in vanilla), but job manager works just fine.

Thank you for the language! I may patch up a release tonight .

God bless text editors with "Search and Replace in All Files", eh?

What text editor would this be?

Tangentially, I love you guys! I have discovered more dead useful and indeed invaluable programs in, what, two or three weeks of haunting this thread again, than I did before in... years. WinMerge (♥), Dropbox, now hopefully a text editor that is nicer than Notepad...

Notepad? That's like the most lame editor ever, it can't even edit multiple files .

Get Notepad++, it can work with many files at once. Thus if you want something changed, select all raws' .txt files -> open witn notepad++ -> search and replace in all opened files. I can't imagine how long would it take to make it in notepad.exe, one file at a time.


I will also try to make an ASCII version tonight. No promises, I am a bit sleepy so I may go to bed, but it's very soon.

P.S. I am greatly nerfing the "curse of the grand cross" illithid breath attack. It was an instakill and it was frustrating since you couldn't do anything about that.

you been watching plumps lp haven't u 

[Deon]

You could guess by dozens of comments .

[Deadbeard]

Huzzah for ascii!

This really looks amazing, Deon. I can't wait until I can play it with delicious ascii tiles.

[Deon]

Oh my sweet ascii!

Found a bug: alchemy into moon silver outputs sun gold

[Deon]

Oops, yeah, I was hurrying and forgot to change the product when copy-pasting. Thanks. This fix should be important .

[TomiTapio]

Moon silver reaction already fixed in my "daily patches" :´)
Thanks to observant Genesis players.

Hey, I have a "crafting materials" cabinet in my home, mostly cardboard, some plastics, metals, twine, in case need some "blocks of support". No bones though (but I could have gathered bones from dead outdoor Hares.)

Maybe I'll switch to ascii version for some time, make lots of creatures easily (no gfx tile making).
