I can't seem to get the large clusters to appear frequently enough, so I may have to do large clusters of safe rock inside of layers of poisonous rock.

I'm also going to make gold show up in small clusters in these clusters to make it a little more rare.

Just have to say, great mod. That is all

How about just clusters of safe rock in hard rock?

Thank you good sir! 

How about just clusters of safe rock in hard rock?

Yeah, hard rock really needs some love doesn't it. That and meta stone, neither of them have viable weapon materials  I'll have to work on that. The 'cave rock' is going to appear in all layers.

The clusters not showing up might have something to do with the DEEP_SPECIAL tag that I use on all the stone layers. I'll remove it, and test a few sights to see what happens.

Everything's ported over though *, and I fixed a bug that caused potassium nitrate to be made as magma. Now I'm thinking of making 'workshop accidents' that spawns fire in certain workshops. I sort of liked the 'oh Fun' moment that the flaming workshop caused. But that needs to wait for a future release.

Three reasons why I haven't released yet.

1. Ramps are invisible if they are rails, this is because they use inverted tiles, and there is nothing to invert.
2. Wheelbarrows need graphics.
3. I want to get the large clusters working.
4. Got sidetracked with body parts.

Besides that, I'm happy to announce that I've had no problem using minecarts in Corrosion. I expected minecarts to be useless due to the deadly stone, but I've found plenty of uses for them, not only with hauling minerals from the ground up but also hauling the vast amounts of logs, planks, and charcoal that's produced.

* Well, it was ported over until I realized that 34.09 was released.

[IT 000]

1.1.10 is out! Mostly a port, a simple bug fix.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

* Added Tomahawk to Warlord, a better hatchet with better penetration and a striking end.
* Desert Devils get mask that covers head.
* Cheeks and Lips cover the mouth, teeth, and tongue.
* Potassium and Gunpowder reactions yield Potassium Nitrate/Gunpowder Case. No change to gameplay.
* More Prefstrings.
* Hard Rock is no longer Metamorphic

The large clusters are in, but I didn't have time to test them out.

Things to do for the next release :

* new pillar tile
* Redo bullet holes + dark gray background + make them smaller
* Meta / Hard Rock Weapon Metals
* New Font (if time permits)

[IT 000]

Due to the hectic schedule, and the almost instantaneous release of 34.10, I didn't get to the graphics stuff, and I only did half of the metals. Unfortunate, but not complaining.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

* Gold appears in small clusters everywhere.
* Cupronickel requires 2 copper 1 nickel
* Can make weapons/armor out of cupronickel.
* Cupronickel uses bronze's edge stats, but has a density of 9500, slightly below crucible steel
* Added Rutile, a purple stone found in meta stone
* Titanium can be smelted from Rutile
* Titanium is the second lightest metal, 10% stronger than iron, great for armor.

As a side note, the boosters are 'in' they just can't be made in any way. If you'd like to check them out they're in inorganic_booster_di, but you'll need to know some modding to decipher it.

Here's a lengthy blog post on commentary and future plans. LINK I typed it up the day before this release, so by tomorrow I mean today

EDIT :

I also updated the Metal Guide to include a lot more information.

*****BY EDGE*****
(In theory armor should also follow the same patterns)

=Best
Crucible Steel

=Good

Shear Steel
Titanium

=Moderate

Titanium
Iron*
Bronze*
Cupronickel*

=Poor

Rusty Iron
Copper

=Horrid

Gloomapeck Silver

* Usual iron/bronze debate, cupronickel copies bronze's slashing stats.

I should have added that Gloomapeck Silver is the best against Infected individuals. Being 200x as deadly.

I started a new fort, I'm trying to see if I can survive without digging at all (except for storage). Gathering metal from caravans and scavenging around.

General Events of the fort :

Scavengers! Good thing I have my main gate hooked up. Pull the lever!
That was a close one there must be a dozen of those guys out there, I don't even have a military
OH GOD THE DEPOT ENTRANCE!
* Twelve scavengers run inside

The fort hasn't made it to the first caravan yet. So predictably my military is looking rather poor, even so, I've managed to outfit 3/5 of my minutemen with bronze and copper weapons, and they all have wooden bracers. Might start making wooden plates until I can get some actual metal.

Gun parts and Gun Barrels are missing METAL_MAT which prevents them from being made. I'll have to release .12 soon as this is a major bug. Your saves should be fine.

BTW one of my bonecarvers made this :



So one of my soldiers is going to be running around beating people to death with a snake skeleton. 

[IT 000]

.12 is out

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

* Redid Paint Reactions. 'Make Paint' replaces the micromanaging colors.
* Native Gold / Gelena boulders are valued at 5. Native Iron and Coppertin boulders are 3.
* Removed Platinum metal from the game.
* Updated the battery smelter reactions to reflect current drop system.
* Battery smelter reactions get a (B) prefix to avoid confusion in the work enforcer screen.
* Increased salvaged metal's output.
* Fixed spent cigar cigar bug.
* Fixed problem with making cigars (again)
* Gun Parts and Gun Barrels have METAL_MAT
* Tire Armor fits over plates now.
* Fixed some armor layering issues.
* Changed cave rock's color + tile
* Roaming Infected get LOOSE_CLUSTERS

had to fix the problem with gun parts and barrels, and I made a new banner!

Just wanted to say IT, Love the corrosion mod, awesome work mate

[asd64026]

i can't make metal bullets in adventure mod! How can i make bullet?

[Rumrusher]

So do infected actually turn other units into infected or is that kinda removed?

Infecting is still in, Infected that siege/ambush/snatch your fortress will turn your humans into zombies when the zombie bites your human (not the other way around though). It takes about 5 minutes for the change to happen. If the limb is bit then ripped off, the human might not be infected. Depends on how much detail Toady put into the system. Scavengers/Evasive don't infect you, I'm not inclined to let them, but that may change down the road. At the very least they'll probably get some non-lethal syndrome stuff.

i can't make metal bullets in adventure mod! How can i make bullet?

Gah! I've been putting that off for quite a while now. I'll add it in.

Thanks Kilakan glad to have your support!

Spruced up the main page, and changed the New Features post after it. Feedback is appreciated.

If you guys have any suggestions as to what things you find useless or if you have any ideas for the good biome 'theme', post them here! Or else I'll have to make my own decisions, and well, that's where cavern creatures came from.

oh I was wondering about adventure mode infected and being able to play as one to ransack whole towns.
