Is there a file I an edit which gives embark locations more iron..? This mod seemed to make Any form of iron, or any basic "Warfare metals" nonexistant, and It's really difficult as a somewhat new player to go about making a military when I can't even make the most basic metal equipment...

[Weaselcake]

Alright, I guess I should ask permission here.
I'm maintaining a small Chinese community of DF players, meanwhile few fellows and I are localising/writing tutorials for new Chinese players.
And it kinda reaches the stage when many people feel vanilla DF is less hard to play, thus start to seek more challenge, somehow.
I played genesis mod extensively so I reckon I'd introduce it to my community.

So I want to ask permission from you, Deon, and TomiTapio, to repackage your mod/submod with(and only with) my hand-made Chinese manual for the mod and to distribute.
Is it okay?

I'm learning mandarin and a bit of basic chinese. I don't really read or speak it well yet but I'm working on it with a bit of QQ help. I might be able to help you all though. If you want to, could you link the community? :p

Yes, indeed! Since you use QQ, you must know QQ群, go and search 165624149(not user ID) and I'll fill you in.

You may try and change mineral scarcity in advance world generation parameter to a lower number though.
Or you can go to raw\inorganic_stone_genesis and change the [ENVIRONMENT:] token of iron ores, to make them either appear in current environment more often, or in additional environment.
Better do both if you feel it is really a serious problem for you.
For the sake of FUN, I also suggest to harvest goblinite and its counterparts for a long term healthy metal production.

Any word on a Stonesense edit for this? All the purple question marks are getting a bit annoying.

edit: Also, is it possible to pick things from plants (strawberries, potatos, etc) I run into in Adventurer mode? Every time I press G the only option regarding the plant is lighting it on fire...

I Dont think there is a way to make a certain material more abundant but you can change the mineral scarcity in the World_gen file
Lower means more minerals

Hope this Helps

You have my permission, but you don't really need it. Deon's opinion on this matters more.

Try a mineral scarcity of 400 to 850 in the init/world_gen.txt settings. I have a hunch that areas with sedimentary layers have more iron.

Not possible until Toady allows it. Genesis adventurer has a "gather-from-thin-air" reaction for getting plants and logs. Just roleplay it and don't put corpses into your backpack.

I have no idea where you got the music, but the second track, the one thats not even a minute long and sounds like funky medieval times, is so awesome. Oh man. Really cool.

Sure, go ahead, why not.

Hey Deon! Could we have a pet animal that leaves a slimy trail! Big annoyance when a migrant shows up with a slimegoat. Or a slitherkin. Or an Eelsnake. Or a Cave Gnort.

Question: What is the history of the Dusk Elves and Keepers? Making a DF story on my extinct civilization with only them as allies versus goblins and werewolves and &'s and I just want to add more lore to it just for fun. 

Could I ask for it?

[Ahra]

duskies are elves with metal ... noldorin?
keepers are medieval crusaders.

About that, any more detailed descriptions of them? 

Edit: Just noticed the description on the Dusk elves, also noted that it is related to J.R.R. Tolkien's work 

Now for the Keepers. Why keepers?

[Jackledead]

Tomi, i just noticed that my War Cow Moose just gave birth to an Elk Fawn....

Infact, all my moose are giving birth to elk fawns, none have grown up yet, so i cant tell if they are actually moose or not.

EDIT: the elk fawns do indeed grow up to be moose, its just confusing to call moose elk...
