I hope you don't think I'm bashing the mod Nidokoenig, I find it very impressive so far.

It's just a lot to take in, even more so the regular dwarf fortress.

I'm just going to need a lot of time to read it all and get used to it.

Hey, it's a mod, I'm all about changing things up to suit me better, I've got no problem with people wanting to make changes or even upload add-ons. I'm just giving my perspective on why I've made things the way they are. And yeah, I'm going to be making some guides to help people get their heads around all the new options. Most of the new stuff, though, is optional extras, you can just dive in and leave working out how to use the wood painting, ent and bakery stuff until later.

Nidokoenig, you said earlier that dwarven ale rum and whatnot wasn't supposed to be in? Cause it still is. Also, all the pony descriptions have how much they like to be outside, which feels a bit out of place for an aboveground culture.

I do have a question about the ponies themselves.

You've given their mouth the ability to act as a hand yes? Was this out of necessity due to the restrictions of dwarf fortress's code or just because, ponies?

I was just wondering that, as a player you don't actually see the difference (I think, unless there's specific injury.) Is there a problem with hoofs being displayed as hands in menu's or text in the game if you make them have the same ability as hands or does the game not allow it?

Just want to know what your line of thought is.

I'm planning to take it out, I just didn't think of it when I did all the humanoid to primate stuff. It'll be done in a later version, I don't like making new updates every week unless it's gamebreaking, it's better to let the code sit and squash a whole bunch of bugs at once, especially when it's flavour related.

 They need graspers, and in the show they primarily use their mouths for that, especially when they're actually using objects rather than just holding them, which they'll often do with their hooves. With grasping hooves, you run into the problem of unicorns with two front hooves and a grasping horn holding three shields, or an eight legged slippy pony from the cave varieties wielding four, or confusing players by having some forelegs used as graspers and others not. Also, I assume, but haven't found out by testing, that a pony who had an injury to their grasping forehooves would be completely immobilised, rather than being able to carry a crutch in their mouth, so combing stance and grasp isn't a good idea.

How excited would people be if I said I had a mod of this in the works?

Well, for one, I used to have a gif. for moments like this, but I dont have it any more.


In other words, very.

Now, two questions:
Would FE:H stuff be included, and would how would the varying environmental hazerds be implemented?
Because I think that everyone would love to have a working radiation/Pink Cloud/Enervention/ect.
 that could contaminate water and such. I think a dust or a actual surface substance could simulate something like that wonderfuly, but so far I dont think anyone has created anything like that successfuly. It may be duable later, if we get working nonorganic syndroms.

You could, I believe, create a creature which is unkillable and let it make the syndrome gases.

Perhapes a Canterlot ghoul which actualy seeps out the pink stuff? Hmm... well, we got the immortality part down. Shame there is no way to replicate the heart-stopping transmitters, but we cant have it all...

Well, evil biomes would get a whole lot pinker, with the undead baby dragons hunting in packs and the water and air turning a most wonderful necrotic shade of pink. And oh, the old sentinal robots world be a deadly threat as well. And if we add Alicorns as a productive night creature immune to syndromes...

Oh, the !!fun!! we shall have.

Nido, I'm having another issue...

my 'mountainhome' caravan came, bringing... nothing. At all. So I gifted them some junk hoping that they'd come back next year with something I requested... and it's next year... and they haven't left yet. I got the 'packed up' message as per usual, and the meeting went smoothly, then they just sat there. There's a clear run for them off any edge of the map they desire, and I'm confused.

So Ledi's been training the cats into an army of disposable warbeasts?  Why did no-one think of this sooner?!
Hellcannon seemed to be constantly on the verge of death and Levergedon before my turn helped, but ultimately what killed it was Ledi's cat army.

had the same issue, I attributed it to perhaps the pegasai in the caravan dodging upwards after a badger attack, and just never found their way back down.

I have seen this with LFR's Nephelim. Flying traders can not trade, and sometimes do not leave until you deconstruct the depot. It's a DF bug with flying.
