So... Um...

Yea. Is it supposed to be named "Nothing"? It's currently blasting Illithid toxin everywhere and attacking (actually, trying to) a pigeon.

[Deon]

Huh, it looks like I forgot some caste name for an outpost brain, which is strange because I think I didn't touch illithids. One moment.

P.S. No, all caste names are intact. Did you by chance set up something with "Genesis Setup"? What did you set then? I think that mod manager could do something, it's a test release so there may be bugs.

[Deon]

So, can you check this creature and its description? What is it?

[Deon]

There's a quick update, it updates mod manager and removes two "placeholder" materials which could cause problems.
- 3.18f2 Patch for the mod manager, removed two unneeded materials.

Also Ironhand version recieves new ore vein tiles by Wormslayer:

I copied the ASCII raws over to my Mac install like usual but the mineral tiles (and only the mineral tiles) are all wrong: metals are gems, gems are finished gems, etc. Any way to fix it without abandoning this charming embark?

[Deon]

Are you sure you took the "ASCII" raws? Do you use ascii or graphics? All versions are cross-compatible so you should be able to take any of the raws without problems.

P.S. Oh wait, it's just the way I made tiles for them... Do you want me to remake them for you? I just made "star" to be a mineral icon and "finished gem" to be a gem icon while in the walls. They are easier to read this way for me. Is it too bothersome for you?

[Deon]

Here's how I mapped them for the ASCII version.



Do you consider it hard to understand/bad idea?

[abadidea]

It's just.... very different. If it's Not A Bug then I guess I can just deal with it 

[Deon]

I just liked how Phoebus made it very clear where is a metal and where is a flux stone, so I wanted to make something like that with ASCII version. If it bothers you too much, I can change it.

Yeah, just change the tile of each and every metal and mineral.

Here's how I mapped them for the ASCII version.



Do you consider it hard to understand/bad idea?

I also play ASCII and personally, I would prefer it like it is in vanilla, but it's your choice. You don't have to.

[Deon]

The RawTileSelector utility allows you to easily map any tile to anything.

[Tarran]

Oh, thanks. Will use that.

[Qinetix]

I love silkworms , they spawn webs everywere... are they vermin o.o?

[Deon]

Yes, like cave spiders, only aboveground.

[Qinetix]

is any way to trap them and lock them up in a room?
