#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

So, I just saved my game, then started it back up. It gave me a fatal error. Missing creature definition CULTMEMB. Any ideas what this is?

I'm assuming it has something to do with the cult? I've had it turned off this entire game though, so I have no clue what went wrong with my game. And, of course, reverting back to my last save does work, but it'll cost me a year's worth of progress.

Blaaaaaaah.

<please can you explain> what are life guard arms and why is the artifact's name so perfectly fitting?

It's from Orc fortress, a Human-style elite guardmans arms kit combining the functionality of a musket and a lucerne polehammer.  Multigrasp, but other wise a devastating weapon.

I was really hoping for a dorf in a string bikini but a gun is fine too.

A thought for people:

While I was thinking about fuel, I realized there is something big missing in Dwarf Fortress' food economy - cooking requires no fuel!  Adding fuel use to cooking (heck, it is the largest fuel usage of pre-modern societies) might do alot to bring the cost of food production into line with the dwarf bucks you can get trading food to caravans.

Considering I find it really easy to strip mine every peice of coal and clear cut a 4x4 embark for coal generally by year 3 I'd really hate too need coal for cooking. On the other hand... Magma smoked forgotten beast meat anyone?

Hm, how come the Trap Engineer's Workshop will only let me upgrade my glass spikes (to sharpened or serrated), but everything else is not selectable?  I have a ton of iron and glass sawblades, but cannot select Upgrade sawblade (either lvl1 or lvl2).

Does it depend on Mechanic level?  My highest beard is Professional, level 9.

I think upgrading serrated discs takes different parts.

mwmod mod question
whats the purpose of evil armor for drow? is it just to reduce leftover armor clutter or does it actually have interactions or reactions attached to them? i noticed orcs have similarly named armor.

i ask because i modded them in and im considering replacing with regular armor in because i like armor being left behind as i can melt it down for bars.

[smakemupagus]

sharpening spikes doesn't require any extra reagents, upgrading discs does.  (pulleys, i think)

a lot of the invader armor exists so that it has UBSTEP and or LBSTEP MAX (i.e. it is a giant onesie that covers the creatures arms and upper legs) because Meph likes invaders to carry less stuff.

anything special about UBSTEP LBSTEP MAX?

[smakemupagus]

Yeah, MAX is shorthand for the largest number that would be valid number of steps on the given creature (i.e. equivalent to ~4 or 5 on a humanoid).  I recommend you read the wiki entries as there are some known bugs/oddities

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How many steps away from upper body the armor protects. Only present on torso armor. When counting steps, ignore any steps through upper or lower body parts(UBSTEP:0 items protect the upper and lower bodies as a result of this). Currently bugged Bug:1821, high values of UBSTEP will result in the item protecting facial features, fingers, and toes, while leaving those parts that it can not protect unprotected (but still counting them as steps). Torso armor can not protect hands, feet, or heads (parts with [GRASP],[STANCE], or [HEAD] tokens respectively) regardless of the UBSTEP value. UBSTEP can also not protect parts that can be protected by LBSTEP. Example, torso armor with [UBSTEP:1] will protect upper arms, wings, non-[STANCE] tails, the torso, and lower body. However, a torso armor with [UBSTEP:4] or higher will also cover lower arms, fingers, facial features, and toes.

so I could just mod back in all the armor items per area (i.e. torso, arms, legs) and it would be equivalent?

yes

my question:
i was wondering why volcanic does not show up in the material list for squad equipment

[alexjj]

I downloaded the mac version but the settings program is a windows .exe. How do I change all the settings?

[Milkbot]

Meph, I don't know if this has been suggested before.

But would it be possible to have golems having a chance of spawning hostile. As in something goes wrong with the golemization and the machine turns on it's creators?
