Hello guys, i'm new to modding vanilla DF, i did only some small stuff, by editing others mods, but now i got struck by this idea.
in DF dwarves are a strangre race, they can make a 50 meters tall Obsidian statue to spit lava on invaders but they are on the same tech level of goblin for weapons, no wait they've less variety of weapons technologies!
My dwarven overseer has searched the problem's root, the dwarves are masters of mechanisms but thy use them only fo traps and waterworks, this has to change, so he ordered the record keepers to check the old books for discarded or forgotten technologies and have started the research of the following tools of destruction:
Dwarven's Mechanic Marvels Workshop
-Build a Pernicious Projector of Dwarven Wrath (aka Wrath Cannon), a weapon made by combining Spring,pump and torsion technologies to propell a stone/metal bullet at insanely high speed. the results are a gun(no gunpowder) stronger but heavier than crossbows made with:
Metal bars(any), mechanisms x2 , wood
-Build an Automated Apparatus of Stone Mayhem (aka WarDrill), a discarded mining tool that can be used To DRILL through any foe, a weapon heavier, way slower but extremely more dangerous than a axe or spear, use mining skill
buildt using: metal bars(any), mechanisms, Booze barrel, corkscrew
-Build a "no cool name yet" (aka Goblin Shredder), a newly created automated axe that can rip throught any goblin and that can be buildt with a variety of materials
buildt using: Metal bars(any), mechanisms, large serrated disk, leather
-The forgotten use of eye protecting glasses have been restored an perfectioned by creating a metal mas as support
Mask buildt using, Metal bars(any), mechanisms, raw glass
as you can imagine the main advantage of those goods are that they're powerful and quite material friendly, their downside is that they're very slow to use and they take a lot of time to be crafted.
Any help is gladly welcolmed since i'm just starting with modding, please send me any link you think i could find useful, and if you want them i'ce done some sketches of what they should look like
-the project is about 5% done
