Hello Narhiril, how goes the update? And yeah, hope the surgery goes well.

[Pan]

Is it possible to put the old LFR files into the new DF version and play?

Really guys, really?  Why do I even bother?


---

Finals are done now, so expect some new stuff soon.  Like I said, this will likely be the last update for a little while, as I have some pretty major surgery at the beginning of June, and I'm not sure how long that will take me out of commission.  Sorry for the relative quiet, guys, it's been the month from hell for me.

Since I know from personal experience how hard it can be to feel valued for providing for a community... http://minederp.com I wanted you to know I appreciate this mod and always look for it first when a new dwarf fortress update comes out.

Thanks for your hard work!

[SalmonGod]

I haven't even updated to the latest release, just because of this mod

Take your time, though.  I understand those rough periods.

[narhiril]

I just want you guys to know that I haven't given up on this mod or anything - far from it.  I've been hard at work these last couple of days trying to catch up with all of the new DF features, and trying to parse what features of the mod might need tweaking.  LFR's wheelbarrows, for example, are probably either going to need an overhaul or complete removal due to their new official counterparts.  This next release might be just catching up to the latest DF release, but I am still optimistic that I can get a few new features done and released before June 5th.

[Putnam]

All you need to do for a quick hotfix release would be to remove the wheelbarrows and add these lines to the dwarf entity raw:

[TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_WHEELBARROW]
[TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_MINECART]

However, that would only go for the raw-only release; you'll have to merge the 34.08 color and density changes for full compatibility.

Who thought the mod's dead? Burn that heretic!

Hey, LFR's been on the front page for over a year. I think occasionally slipping into the 2nd or 3rd, or the author taking a break is quite natural. In fact, I've always thought Narhiril has always been a bit too attentive to the mod. I've never seen her take a break.

Burn the elves who claim the mod is dead. LFR is better than vanilla, and to me, slightly better than masterwork.

I just find that tech progression can be very slow and random sometimes

I've never seen hint of a rainbow crystal/block stone thing for instance.

What have you been doing? You have to

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Either make some hadrine mesh or find it some other way. I have had great success in the past with archaeology labs finding rocks and other tech personally, but one or two hadrine fibers should bring up a rock.

[simonthedwarf]

Can't find any mitrhil - and btw regarding the perform first sacrifice to kogut - exactly how many overgrown pedestals, candelabra of conquest and enormous goblet do I need? I have 3 items "consecrated" pool stuffs but no magical fish food, and I got several of the required items in my stocks..

I want to try this mod, you say it's better than masterwork, why you think that? How random is the alchemist system and progression? I read there's a good amount of hats, it's true? I'm a fan of hats (TF2 rocks!)

Thank you!

[Pan]

(TF2 rocks!)

True that. Do I happen to be in the presence of a fellow scout? Or you one of those easy meat campers?

Masterwork is cool, but the races it suggests are rather nonsensical such as creepers, and some of the features seem to be a bit weird (although brilliantly done, such as the concubines). LFR feels a tad more serious, although I'm still not a big fan of the cat people. I still like Masterwork though, just not as much as LFR.

[maki32]

I prefer the spy way =D

I see LFR it's more technological maybe? I saw screenshots of algorithms and such things that sounds technological and crazy! How works the tier? You develop it randomly?

[SalmonGod]

I love LFR because it does stuff that not only adds content, but adds depth to gameplay.  More importantly, it does so with a cohesive vision, rather than a shotgun approach.

Ah, he speaks my mind.
