Bags are male, pretty sure...

As an aside, what exactly is broken about the economy? Not that any of my forts have lasted long enough for it to matter.

It is quite unballanced, when it kicks in then:

 * Poor dwarves are kicked out of their rooms as they can't afford rent. Player pretty much needs to make "slums" with low quality beds and soil/rough stone walls.
 * Poor dwarves also can't afford good food & booze, en ding up eating raw plants and drinking water.
 * Poor dwaves also can't afford to buy trinkets to increase their happiness.
 * If you mint coins, dwarves will waste huge amount of time moving it physically around, coin-by-coin.
 * If dwarf lacks work, he will schedulle meeting with leader and complain, decreasing his happiness and wasting much time.

Legendary dwarves are exempt from this and can just comandier anything.

All in all, it is big annoyance and there is much need for proper Economy arc.

Been playing DF for a year or so but never bothered with Stonesense or DT. This pack just may change that.

2 questions: where can I turn off the economy, and where can I edit the max population?

[Thief^]

d_init.txt I think.

You got linked on Penny Arcade, btw. Good deal!

Jesus you almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you meant the main page or something, not on a forum thread XD
But yeah, this is getting quite a surprising amount of views/downloads!

So far I'm liking it (and the new bindings, btw) though I'm used to Maydays graphics. Now, was the amulet female and the bag male? Or the other way around...

I always find the best way to figure this out with different tilesets is to check the bull, if you have one.  That's the male.

[LucasUP]

Bags are always male. Its hardcoded for them to have them same symbol. You can actually see a very small male symbol in the corner of the symbol as well if you look hard enough. As well as a female one for the amulet.

2 questions: where can I turn off the economy, and where can I edit the max population?

Yeah they are in \data\init\d_init.txt
Change these to how you see fit:
[ECONOMY:YES]
[POPULATION_CAP:200]


Edit: silly tangent reply to quinnr (next post)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tilesets can make them look however they feel like making it.

Yep. They could look like pickles . But pickles would still exclusivity represent MALES and BAGS. If your bags look like pickles, your men are the pickles. You could probably also ask why a tileset would have anything other than a male symbol or a bag symbol for something that only represents those two things.

I wish there was a Lazy Download for d40.

I have not tried this yet, but thanks!
All that is missing is some good embarks for people that are really really really lazy, like me.

There were a bunch on DFFD, including versions pre-generated worlds.

Yeah, embarks are a great idea. Thought of it after I posted the pack. Maybe I'll steal maydays ... and also put something of my own in as well.
