Phone glitches up and double posted sorry.

[Sorcerer]

Courtesy, are you using Truetype Fonts? It seems the automagic translation by not having a language file might not work properly with TT enabled. That's just a theory I've heard mentioned tho

[Courtesy Arloban]

Yes, I'm using True Type, I have a tileset where letters are replaced with staircases, and terrain.  I still see the tileset characters on some screens though.

After several ambushes... well, fireballs are really not meant to be used by everyone.
Removing most magical attacks. I'll leave the ice spikes (without the syndrome, becuse holy frienly fire Batman) for royals and alicorns, but I think that's the end of what commonly-used magic can be without completely screwing up the balance.

Maybe the interaction could be made into a secret. Have to read up about the secrets.

Your savegame has been corrupted!
Valikdu cancels Playtest: Throwing tantrum.
Valikdu has calmed down.

..........

Valikdu cancels Do <buy some <censored> <kiwi>> Nothing: New Version Out.

...Okay. I was able to test stuff up to taint & alchemy & crystal forges and it works. I've made some new ideas with my brain recently, so I'll add that and call it a release.

Checklist:
-Some more advanced anatomy, like joints and multi-part legs. Gonna be a pain to do correctly with the eight-legged underlords, though. O_o
-Some new buildings, like display cases for your artifact cat bone swords (instead of weapon traps)
-New surface-grown plants
-Yet another new metal
-Several new creatures and associated reactions
-Find out why my megabeasts are causing the newer worldgen to crap out

Any chance for the ability to make the increadbly useful and mutating Flux.


"Dont worry, Insert Trading Race Here, there is no way that barrel will give off stuff that will mutate you beyond belife."

It's already in.

Currently it's in the IMP Vats building, where you have to use all four elemental harmonic diamonds (each requires all 6 harmonic gems, which are prospected from malygite or just dug up, and an ether orb which is an alchemy byproduct)  and a rainbow metal bar.
In theory (...), the resulting evaporating cloud will have a 50/50 chance of turning a pony into an alicorn or into a centaur (as in, Fallout tentacle thing). It won't affect the castes that are already tainted (Blade Ponies, Octavias, all augmented diomedian castes).

Due to a, ehm, quirk in the game mechanics, sometimes an invader or a migrant wil be a crazed centaur, even though the pop ratio is 0. In the former case, it's hillarious.

Err....... So, what exactly are you planning on the Creature front, then?

Also,

Heh. Some kind of mishape when it comes with changed creatures, perhapes? Might as well check with the currant version to see if the same happens with other such reaction-changed creatures.

Just couple more large predators.

I read that it just happens, sometimes, with pop_ratio:0 creatures. Not too often to worry about.
Although now you gave me an idea to make curse-type change too.

[Valikdu]

I think I remember someone saying that the disadvantage of having thumbs is that they can be broken.
Now that the ponies all have multi-part legs and several joints in each leg, the combat log is sometimes... painful to read.

[Valikdu]

I remembered from my test-fort that I had a huge amount of Fel Stone piling up and doing nothing. Think I'll expand its use.

[Pokon]

Oh joy. More zerg/Tyranid ponies, or other things? Wild Chimera-inspired abominations? Gloopy creatures underground that spew Taint? A Smooze-style sin agianst nature that has many, many limbs and heads from fusing a score of ponies to eachother? More spiders and drakes?

Honanstly, I just pity a pony with a hoof missing. Any way you put it, it's just ugg.

Progress report:
-Rebalanced pony sizes, again. The earth ponies are now 150K adult size, pegasi 130K, unicorns 120K, royals 250K, alicorns 350K. Varies with race.
-Adjusted tyranids accordingly, joined several cretures into a single one as castes to make mixed broods.
-Advanced Equine Anatomy (special thanks to Lycaeon). Multi-part legs, joints, telekinesis graspers. Unicorns have 1 telekinesis per horn, royals 2, alicorns 3.
-Felstone can be ground into powder at the Taint Refinery. The powder is used to make fel glass items (MV10 same as crystal glass, Tainted Glass Furnace, magma-powered only) using pearlash, also it can be mixed with normal clay to make felclay (which is useable at a normal kiln, MV7 between fire clay and porcelain).
-Gem vines, new above-ground plants. They take longer than usual time to grow and have multiple uses. The cloth made from these plants' fiber is unusually strong; there is also a reaction to make exceptionally strong gemvine-mesh thread, which also uses the biometallic mushrooms. Turning off your loom's auto-weaveing is recommended.
-New soft 'shoes' item to go with the above cloth. It protects the whole leg.

 Because I watched too much DeviantArt, it's called "stockings".

-Tainted grass and trees. Trees have special properties.

[Valikdu]

Couple new metals:
-Volcanic Aurum: very valuable, very dense; for use in decoration and blunt implements. Sometimes will show up in IgnExtr layers in the form of nuggets nuggets. Can also be aquired by combining normal gold with energized felstone.
-Mithril: very light (wafers), comparable to steel in everything else. Does not occur naturally; aquired with a two-step process (first, a silver bar is overcharged with an energized felstone and becomes like mercury in form, then the result must be treated with an ether spark to create mithril).

Also, some reactions in the tainted refinery now require a felstone fuel rod (made in the same refinery from felstone).

[upd]
Creatures:
-Timber Wolf (Horizons version, made of taint-wood)
-Trojan Pony (original upgraded to new anatomy and taint-wood)
-Felstalker (large wolf with hard bones and a tail-stinger (male) or claw-tentacles (female))
-More...

Also have to fix the new core creature files and remove mount tokens on those that are too small. Probably anything less than 1M needs to lose the token.

Hey, I put the 1.5 version out. As most bad fanfic writers say, "feedback needed!!1".
...
I'm terribly sorry about the megabeast issue. "I just don't know what went wrong" (c) and haven't been able to find the cause yet.
