#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.

I dont know why your dwarves drink in the still

That happens to me all the time until I have several hundred barrels of alcohol.
I think it happens because you have about the same number of barrels as dwarves who are thirsty so they have to drink the one in the still.
They may also prefer higher value booze since I always catch my brewers sneaking a little bloodwine from the barrel before the other dwarves swarm the still.

@random experiement: Yeah, someone uses it I want to make it even more random and add it to the temple next version, because the research lab will be removed.

I once got an "Untranslated Dwarven Rune Greataxe". Was worth like 100k dwarfbucks...

Is InkMans ink intentionally deadly? Weird question but strange things has been happening to my fort located in neutral savage part of the map.

There was a single wild Ink Man in the wild some time ago and he tried shooting some of his ink at my newly arrived immigrants, for some reason his ink was frozen in projectile form, he missed all of his shots but some of them landed on the 1 tile wide bridge that was leading to my fort. Nothing scary happened at this point.

As seasons changed Ink Man went away but his projectiles melted and left a puddles on my bridge. Before next caravan arrived I had placed some traps just behind the bridge and when elves came I just saw my dwarves rush to the trap line to pick up a caravans worth of free stuff as all of the elves were dead, no combat log whatsoever.

Other caravans came, results varied, but most of the time at least one of the traders ended up dead, my dwarves were safe up to this point. Finally a Mountainhome guys came so I watched them carefully, they crossed the bridge, then the traps, unloaded their goods... no causalities. I was finally able to trade and didn't want to miss the chance, sold a bunch of stuff, bought some.
Finally the caravan packed up and was on their way to leave the map when one of the traders dropped dead. My greedy dwarves didn't wait even 5 frames before rushing to collect free loot, put the stuff in stockpiles and suddenly I saw reports of my dwarves suffocating in total 6 of them, all just by the well. They were probably the ones that did the hauling.

Not sure if I was just unlucky or is the InkMans Ink this deadly in general.

EDIT: Update: Unlucky dwarves left two pools of ink and an ocean of vomit on my main staircase, had some more casualties soon and tantrum spiral kicked in. Mighty fort destroyed by a single Ink Man.

I just found a chosen one demon god in adventure mode. The bastard desintegrated me without any provocation (I even save scummed
and certified that i could talk with him before he atacks.

The thing that bothers me most is that i had the antimagic effect active over me. I am not sure if the chosen ones can intentionally
surpass that or not.

To both creatures, Chosen One and Ink Man, I have to say this: Both are features of the Dwarven Chocolate/Wizards Tower mod by SethCreyid, who apparently does not balance creatures, or at least interactions and syndromes well. I will not inlcude any of this in the next release.

@ zenerbufen
Are you still away from your home computer?
Have you had a chance to look at the new color pallet I posted?
I adjusted the colors so you can see everything now.
I posted some screenshots you can look at if you can't test the file right now.

Knuckle dusters, even slade ones, are less effective than bare hands, since the knucle dusters have a large hit area and glance off of armour frequently. I would reduce the contact area to 10, and increase the velocity. Slade knuckles shouldn;t be deflected by copper, and even a steel helm shouldn't offer much protection from bludgeoning hits.

[Meph]

Ok, thanks Is fixed.

I also made a few changes in the tanner. You can now dry gut to thread, clean feathers, clean skin, chitin or scale. Skin gives 2 leather and 1 fur, chitin gives carapace and scale gives scalemail.

You can harden leather, carapace or scalemail by boiling it, using a bucket and coke.
You can make llamelar versions by using 2 hardened types and 1 thread.
Fur is only an extra leather so to speak, weak, but can be used for clothing.

Leather manufactur can now make armorsets and padded armorsets from each type. Fur, Leather, hardened leather, llamelar leather, carapace, hardened carapace, llamelar carapace, scalemail, hardened scalemail, llamelat scalemail. Hope this lowers micromanagement a bit (lot)

[Wrex]

Hrm. I have an idea. To make transformations more reliable, would spawning, say, 10 boiling rocks as a product improve the odds of it working?

[Meph]

No, it sadly wont have an effect.

[Wrex]

No, it sadly wont have an effect.

Unfortunate. And jacking up the severity won't help it overwhelm a dwarve's immune system either, will it?

[Meph]

The severity has nothing to do with it, I think it is the probability and size_dilutes and resistable. As long as the last two are missing, a prob:100 should always trigger.

[Deon]

Meph, in your "secrets of disease and blight", the foul lung spell uses FACE_ROT_CURSE, which should be FOUL_LUNG_CURSE.

It's in "interaction_dwarfchocolate.txt", 548th line.

Just a short note. One of the Letīs Players Iīm subscribed on youtube started a Letīs Play series of DF with the Masterwork Mod. For those interested here the link to the first video:
