fffffffthank you.

[Zaerosz]

OH COME ON. Now even rocs are in the game! My work is becoming obsolete!

[MaximumZero]

That just means you're having good ideas.

[Seriyu]

Finally downloaded this, and it's awesome, but I figured I'd letcha know there's a taiga tag in zmod_plants that I assume should be [FOREST_TAIGA].

Edit: Also, as a suggestion, albeit not related directly to the mod, if you could put a spoilered (In case people want to find it out on their own) list of how metals stack up to each other in combat situations that would be wonderful. You could leave out the various flavors of cotton candy, because it's a given that they're going to be awesome somehow.

[Zaerosz]

...hmm. I probably should find out how good each metal is. Buuuuuut I can't run Arena Mode. For some reason creating a unit crashes the game.

Hmmmmmmm.


Anyone want to volunteer for some +science+?



EDIT: Alright, guys, this is important. I've been finding the game a little easy lately, so I've upped the difficulty a bit. I have here a version of this mod in which:

• Elves and goblins are bigger
• All megabeasts are bigger and have had their attack triggers halved
• Elephants and unicorns are once again violent
• Lesser deep metals only appear one tile at a time
• All smelting probabilities have been decreased by 10%
• All plant growth times have been increased by 25%

Do you guys want this update, or would you rather just have the normal version?

[MaximumZero]

I personally like things the way they are. However (dun dun dunnnnn...) There are some stones in vanilla DF that are metal ores, that don't contain metal, like Cobalt, obviously. Things like Dolomite (Magnesium), Chromite, Tetrahedrite (contains a metric crapton of metals [including antimony, iron and zinc], not just copper/silver,) and so on. Have you given any thought to modding these at all?

[Zaerosz]

Yeah, but the thing about those other stones is that either the metals are in such tiny amounts it's not worth it, or there's more or less no use for them (magnesium, antimony etc.), and if you have too many ores you clutter up the smelting menu.

[Seriyu]

Well, from what little testing I did, wolfram is inferior to steel aaannnd meteoric iron is also inferior to steel, as far as weapon qualities go. Didn't do any armor testing.

I have no idea how it stacks up to other metals though.

I may test bits and pieces here and there.

[Zaerosz]

Meteoric iron should be just slightly above regular iron, I believe.

[Seriyu]

Oh, okay, that fits then.

[Zaerosz]

ohohooooooooo

Just had an idea for utilising cold essence bottles. What's the temperature of magma-heated squares (i.e. squares with magma directly underneath, like you'd be likely to find in most magma forge areas)?

[Seriyu]

Warm squares are 10075 urist I believe.

[Zaerosz]

Ah. And underground squares? For some reason I remember something about some type of area being 10080 degrees Urist.

[Seriyu]

I believe underground warm squares are still 10075, but then again that might explain why my oil didn't detonate on them so you might take that with a pinch of salt.

If you don't want to wait for another answer, DFhack has a tool called DFprobe that tells you what temperature any given square is, among other things.
