I dont know how aware you are, or if this is intended, but: Animated armors /armormen use a tissue template with [IMPACT_YIELD:1620000] and [IMPACT_FRACTURE:1620000] This is 100000 higher then that of steel. I fought a rusty, a normal, and a corosive one in fortress mode. 10 well trained, fully masterwork-steel clad dwarves perished, not one animated armor fell. Three of them instantly to one breathattack of the corosive one. I later caged and put them into a training ground for crossbows. I used steel bolts for training, and none of the animated armors was killed by this.

Maybe... you should think about lowering the values a bit.

[Deon]

Hmm, I think those were supposed to be lower, thanks for telling. They were not appearing in the game not long ago, so I guess that's why people did not complain about them .

Do as I suggest every time this question rises in the thread: make a clean unpack of the mod. Do not ever try to put it on an existing DF version too.

Just switch to ASCII mode, after that close the modloader/game and navigate to ../dwarf fortress/data/art/ and replace the tileset.png there with the one you want.

That what I get...

you need to install the latest version of .NET.  You should be able to go Start -> Windows Update and pick it from the optionally installable items.

That's a problem with the tileset you used, the alpha layer got fucked up.

[bombzero]

Hey Deon smallest most unnoticeable bug ever, your mod loader application says 'masterwork dwarf fortress' if you hover the mouse over the taskbar item.

Changed tileset from 800x600 on 640x480. Now it works. Can't understand why - both are standard ones...

I'm sorry if this is a newb questions. I have been playing Genesis since I first started playing Dwarf Fortress. After I got a handle on the game I went straight for the mods and Genesis far surpasses any expectation I could have had. I enjoy this mod greatly.

From my experiance with this mod though I have noticed a lack in documentation as I've been playing. I have seen recently that its all been updated and the correct recipe lists have been added. With the modloader updated I have noticed a new material. Meteoric. I dont know if its only on my game but its not called Meteoric Steel, or Meteoric iron, it is just meteoric. So this leads to the question of where does this material fit in the grand scheme of things? Is this a superior blunt weapon material or a sharp material? Is it harder then iron? then steel? Most games i've seen it it is Meteoric Steel. I have looked in the documentation as well as the genesis wiki, I may just be blind, deaf, dumb and/or stupid but I cannot find any info on this material whatsoever. The only place I haven't looked is the raws and I must be honest, I have a splitting headache and looking at all that info is going to drive me into insanity.

any help on this topic would be appreciated.

Thanks again Deon for the wonderful mod. Also played your mod on Cataclysm until i became outdated. You do fine work sir.

[Putnam]

I think it may be named meteoric iron, but its adjective is meteoric.

So you make a meteoric sword out of meteoric iron.

[Meph]

meteoric is almost steel grade.

[mrchace]

Thank you.

More testing, more issues.

You blast furnace has this reaction:

[REACTION:STEEL_MAKING_BATCH]
[NAME:batch of steel bars from ore]
[BUILDING:BLAST_FURNACE:CUSTOM_SHIFT_S]
[REAGENT:A:6:METAL_ORE:PURE_IRON]
[REAGENT:B:3:BOULDER:NO_SUBTYPE:NONE:NONE]
[REACTION_CLASS:FLUX]
[PRODUCT:100:6:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL]
[PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[FUEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]

It takes 6 ores of pure_iron. But it does not matter how much pure_iron is in the ore. It might take 6 hematite, and uses the same amount as 6 iron bars, or it might take 6 tetrahide, and use as much as 3 iron bars.

Point is: It does not matter how much pure_iron is in the ore, even 1% would be ok. In the end you always get 6 steel bars out of it, even if you should get a lot less.

[SirAaronIII]

Isn't tetrahedrite an ore of copper/silver? The only iron ores have 100% chance of giving a bar of iron.

Unless there are any new ones. Haven't played Fortress mode with Genesis in a while.

[Putnam]

Goethite is a 50%, IIRC.
