Downloading now to try this out until your Wasteland mod is updated for 31.08. I'm curious if DT works with this...
*crosses fingers*
E: FYI, in the manual on the plants section, you might wanna choose different colors for "edible raw+cooked" and "edible cooked." They're almost indistinguishable, I have to lean waaaaay back, squint kinda funny, and tilt the monitor to see the difference.
E^2: First impressions time! I admit I've barely scratched the surface, but I'm going to bed soon anyhow.
-Gen'd a world, and loved the graphics pack you used. Found out it was Ironhands. I'm used to Maydays', but I think I'll switch now.
-Hmm. A manual? *click* Oh gawd the plant list is huge... I'll just stick with what I know so far. Plump helmets and pig tails for all!
-TONS of new stuff on the embark screen. I had 3 shroom dorfs and 4 stone dorfs. Is it normal to have such little variety at embark? I assume more come later, but I would've liked an admin type for my leader.
-Found a nice spot and began scratching out a hole. Was very happy that DT still worked with the mod. I haven't noticed much difference between the dorfs yet.
-Giant ant horde came by. Having no idea what they were, I just prayed they weren't looking for some tasty dorfs. They left without incident.
Things which would be nice:
-A small FAQ to highlight the actual gameplay differences between the mod and vanilla. I see the castes and new workshops in the OP, but how do they actually work in practice? Yeah I could search the thread, but I'm Urist McLazy. EG: "Oh god why is everything burning?!"/"You has !!firedorf!!" or something.
-Maybe a crash course to the mod, to go along with the FAQ? "New to Genesis 101" or something. EG: "This is a new workshop, it does [X], and allows for [new feature Y]."
-...And then adding the above items to the manual. I also mentioned above about the colors on the plant spreadsheet. I like the layout (I'm a sucker for spreadsheets) but it needs contrast.
-And this last one isn't really important, but it'd be nice to have different graphics versions. as nice as Ironhands' graphics are, some might prefer Maydays or whatever, but not want to (or know how) switch it all manually. Again, this isn't really important, but it'd be nice.
And lastly... So far so good. I'm gonna put in a few more hours tomorrow and I hope my fort doesn't burn to the (under)ground.
