Red Sand is sad
« on: May 07, 2011, 08:54:07 pm »

Hello first of all I love DF, second Red Sand is just a pain in the ass to watch (with Phoebus titleset) with all the blood and stuff all over, and I wish to have a nice looking fortress  :P how can I change a color of it to like brown or yellow ? every answer helps thank you!

Find and open the inorganic_stone_soil file in your raws folder. Then scroll down to the red sand entry. Next you'll find a tag that looks like this:

[DISPLAY_COLOR:6:0:0]

Copy the above right over it. And you should have brown sand.

That title makes me sad :( Some of my best forts have been built upon red or black sand.

Then again, I play with ASCII :/ I can't tell the blood from the sand, I assume the sand is died with blood before I embark.

I like red sand a lot, as well as black sand, because it looks more badass/Armoky than normal grass covered terrain.

After all, what's more dwarfy than a fortress built in a blood colored terrain ? It just pleases Armok. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD !
