edit: wanted to see myself  some ASCII, so i deleted the graphics file, and changed the init file to show me curses_640x300, here's waht i've got:

looks like Red alert 1!

So, another metal less embark for unlucky old me, despite being promised so in the embark screen. What am I going to do? Is it possible to survive on melted weapons and wooden/bone ammo?

[Jimlad11]

I am also facing this problem. I have been promised both shallow and deep metals, but so far...nothing. 
I think it if possible to get by with just crossbows and stuff, as they will drive off the lesser infected, but the main problem for me is that I can't build mechanisms, so my drawbridge will have to be scrapped 

Even the wooden mechanisms need to have metal screws, so I am screwed (Pun intended) there too...

Combine all this with a lack of fire-safe materials and I am in for a fun time

Just posting here to say that a new Community Fortress using 1.0.8 has launched. Check it out here.

just use doors, here:

=...walls
+...floor
D...doors

lock the first ones, and the second ones, just in case of a lumberer comming close. also make sure no pets/strays are between the doors. the corridor can then be trapped.

Big images ahead!

Excavations at the site in the Dunes of Misheard.

One of the many custom reactions

You can farm and hunt or you can sell your trophies to the private collectors.

Rename Reinheit to Nazis and you've got yourself an Indiana Jones adventure in the zombie-destroyed world.
Rename zombies as mummies and you've got yourself Mummy Fortress.

Mini-mod will be probably completed in the next one-two days.

[Patchouli]

Wow, those workshops look really nice.

[Neyvn]

What am I looking at there???

[IT 000]

Mini-mod will be probably completed in the next one-two days.

Great I'd be happy to give it a look. I might create a post of mods that people make for Corrosion, if there's enough mods out there.

I'm taking Pan's suggestion and I'm cleaving a few words. This should make it more bearable.

What, the long names?

[Dohon]

I was looking through the raws in order to check the job requirements for all the new reactions and there are two things that I noticed:

1) The reaction for a sharp stick ([SHARPEN_stick]) doesn't preserve the large knife used for sharpening it. So, right now, the stick has the identical reaction like the Makeshif Spear. Shouldn't the large knife be preserved in the reaction? I can understand using it to sharpen the stick, but loosing the knife after that seems odd.

2) The reaction [MAKE_WOODEN_MECH] (for the wooden Mechanisms) doesn't have a [SKILL] tag. Doesn't this mean that anyone can make those, instead of just a mechanic? Or does the game set the skill to a mechanic automatically?

Yes, you were right the first time, I just didn't have time to hack n slash them. Now that 1.0.8 is out I should be able to chop a few up.

Well, for some reason a knife snuck into that reaction. It should just require the pole.

Fixed, you can still make them, but any dwarf will come and do it. Nice catch.

kerlc, your desert mod is ready

HOLLOW EARTH v0.92- CORROSION MINI-MOD

It wasn't the Immortality drug that caused the apocalypse. They want us to think like this. The Society, organization more powerful than masons and older than templars was experimenting with the forbidden knowledge and ancient artifacts. The result of these experiments are now walking on the earth seeking our brains. I have the knowledge to save humanity - we just need those artifacts left by Society. The first one, horrible Book of the Dead is hidden somewhere in the ruins among the desert. And believe me when I say that getting to the heart of the desert will be an easy part of this plan... any questions?

There are two ways you can play this mini-mod. Archeology can plan a minor role in your outpost while survivors fight with zombies or you can make archeology your main source of wealth, building material, food and weaponry, discovering new buildings and getting more and more powerful ancient technology.

Wait a minute... You can use gold to make a rifle, which is a really weak kind of metal for that kind of purpose, but you can't use silver? Wat? xD
