Are tungsten darts better or worse then Damascus steel darts for launchers? Also, might wanna add in some reactions with a chance of producing rough emeralds, sapphires, amethysts, and rubies. No fort I have made has all of them, and I want my master level magnetic dart launcher!

Tungsten's heavy as hell, so tungsten should be good.

Ok, are .18e saves compatible with the new version, .19b?
Does this work with DfHack? Avuzarros, or Minethrow, needs a good cleaning. 13 fps for 240 dorfs is NOT ACCEPTABLE!

if you're looking to make that master level magnetic dart launcher, i'd suggest taking up carbuncle farming, just make sure to have somewhere for them to sit nearby. there's a reason she selected those specific gems

1) No, they won't be.  The only compatible saves will be 0.19b to 0.19c.

2) Yes, this mod works with DFHack.  Nothing I have done should interfere with any of its functions.

In fact, nothing she could do would break DFHack unless she does some weird-ass... I don't even know how you could break it, haha. No need to worry, in other words.

I'd have to mess with the SDL or something - something I have neither the desire nor capability to do.

[Putnam]

Anyone who would have the desire could probably just use DFHack anyway, so compatibility with DFHack should be "yes" pretty much always.

Quick thought I had, I often feel the scariest of cavern creatures are underwater. The Watcher creature in Lord of the Rings scared me half to death as a kid (right along with the scene where Bilbo goes bananas in Rivendell), and I think LFR isn't really delivering that promise of the earth striking back anyway. I never see crystal dragons or sentinels, only megalania and deep wolves.

So, how's about introducing some scary cavern stuff? Or maybe have underground silk farm-able creatures?

400 years? Really?

The bolded part is an issue with frequency tokens.  I knew very little about how the game handled these back when I wrote most of these raws, and as a consequence, they are all substantially rarer than intended.  This, too, is getting a fix in 0.19c.  Expect to see a LOT more sentinels, devourers, will o' wisps, etc.  Jagged crystal dragons are still going to be fairly rare, but they're also being made substantially more common, so you can no longer reasonably expect not to ever encounter one if you're milling around in the deep caverns.

Unlike the other changes from 0.19c, these probably WILL require a new world to take full effect, but won't break your old ones if you include them.

Almost 400 years, 399 and counting, so will be 400 soon.

[Putnam]

IIRC that's a record.
