genesis embark glitch?
« on: January 15, 2011, 03:20:57 pm »

Whenever I "carefully prepare for the journey" on genesis mod, I always start out with 0 points. The Items screen has all the default items but unless I get rid of them, I can't give my dwarves any skills. Anybody know what is wrong?

What is wrong is nothing - I haven't played Genesis much, but I'm guessing you start with more/more expensive stuff when you embark?

I am pretty sure that you start with the same items in genesis as the original DF...

There is a way to do that?

I am a COMPLETE noob at df my best fortress had like, 20 people in it and lasted 2 years. I don't even know how to make traps :(

I might have changed it, but I don't know if I did.

It auto selects items. Just remove all and start over clean.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

Just get rid of the quivers, bags, buckets, splints, crutches, cloth, thread and one of the axes on the item screen and you'll have more than enough points.

I don't think I've ever seen 0 points after getting rid of stuff (not Genesis). How many points do you get after removing everything?

You'd have to go out of your way to change the embark points. It's one of the world gen options along with elevation and savagery and all that other stuff, and if you select your worlds off the gen list or off the game's main menu you'll never even see the option.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I think Genesis just starts off with 0 embark points. It's not a glitch. You can either use Cheat Engine or change the embark points in the init.txt file (I think) from 0-10000.
