Currently trying to update the first post. Uploading cancels all the time, can only be hours till it is done. For Mac and Linux. I was in Githhub, and the dfhack update is coming along fine, 1-2 days more. So on the weekend you should have your update. IF dfhack is not updated till Saturday, I upload a windows version without it.
@zenerbufen: I had a look at the html manual. There is no index file, no "open me, I am the manual" that links to the rest, and the building guides are not in there ? But still, it is a step in the right direction. I did repack the tgz to a zip, because DFFD does not accept tgzs. Sorry for the linux graphics hickup, I changed all the file endings, but did not realize that the Decoy.png should be decoy.png. Otherwise all is good and I changed that last one as well. And what did you mean with: " I couldnt even get 1.9 to run with 34.08 ? wait. 34.09. wait. *check main forum* What ? 34.09 is out ? Why am I just uploading the 34.08 versions ?
(*) Stopped salt from spreading to fresh water, made fresh water destroy stagnant water ::: GOOD
(*) Increased output of coke reactions ::: BAD. Argh. rebalancing again ?
Ehm...well. Guys. What now ? Linux is updated to 34.08, Mac I am just uploading. I will download 34.09 and have a look at the changes. But again, dfhack, therapist, mouse fortress, wow... lots of work.
EDIT: oh, and about the gem workshops: Gem weapons are in the game since ever... But for the gemforge you need 3 large gems to build it. So you need to cut a lot of gems and have a good gemcutter in the fortress. You cant trade for them either. So you have to build a jeweler to make cut gems. With cut gems you can build the gemcutter. There you can make furniture. And if you get 3 large gems, you can build the gemforge, making weapons and armor. But each weapon needs 1-4 gems. If it is unbalanced I can simply increase the amount of gems needed. Hope it works out well.
