#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 found more strangeness: The Dwarven Liaison wants to sell me "Common Skin" as Cheese (It's listed as the only thing in the "Cheese" submenu in imports). This might be a bug.

I have the same thing

You removed Socks? How could you?

I found a gold loot bag in adv. mode, what do I do whit it?

[UncleCern]

You need a specific building (archeologist i think) and a dwarf with a proper labor assigned to open it. In other words - it's usefull in dwarf fortress mode, not in adventure mode.

[Meph]

And here we go again

Bag of loot: They are dropped by kobolds. Only usefull in Fortress Mode, sry. I can make a custom adv. mode reaction to open them though.

Common Skin Cheese: When I changed all mats to fix the stockpiling, cheese got linked to a fake creature, that had no cheese template, so it took the first it had, the skin. Is fixed already, found the same thing yesterday evening.

Slade: Yep, no easy slade. You need naturally mined slade ore. Not the artifical boulders, that would be too easy. Slade veins that can be digged are very rare, and might not be aviable on every map. The metal is super-overkill, thats why it is so hard to make it. (PS: Check the Stonecutter for rock mauls. These guys just take the slade boulder. *cough*exploit*cough*)

Bullets: They should work, I made a testrun in fortress mode. Just checked,I fixed gunpoweder from saltpeter, not the gunpowder from potash. Stupid me. Is fixed. I really have no idea how I can have so much problems with these damn bullets ^^ It does require coal for gunpowder, not as a FUEL, but a reagent.

Cheap golems: Well, the three new reaction are experimental. Golems, Guilds, Armored Pets. If these boiling stones would hit 100% of the time, I could balance it. But since it is random, I cant do anything about it, sry.

I have a strange bug (or whatever it is) Trying to embark and my game just freezes (I tried 5 or 6 times, tried to reduce quantity of items). Tried to embark with set embark profile, but changed few profession assignments and add more food and animals hens,cats,ducks (nothing special). Game stoped again. So I choose the same embark profile and didn't change anything. Game loaded. Don't know what it is...

[Meph]

@prats: I get this as well, while testing. I thought it is my little netbook being stupid, since there is no reason why Df should behave like this. I expected too many reactions at first, but it shows up randomly and narhiril uses a lot more reactions then me. What machine do you use ? Does anyone else has this ?

For all: The problem is that the game freezes when pressing "e" at the embark screen. Randomly. If you do the same embark 10times, will every setting, items and dwarf exactly the same, you might get some freezes, might get none.

Hi Meph,

Making common tallow soap also produces Common Skin.

[slay_mithos]

Just saw that many reaction used CHEESE_MAT or similar (specified when you lack materials for the reaction).
Well, can't blame you for copy/paste, but it sounds quite strange.

I also wanted to know how to efficiently use the carts/loader/unloader, because I am pretty sure it could really help me, but couldn't figure out, and just made it worse than transporting by hand.

[Meph]

Soap should be called soap again, will test it now.

@slay_mithos: I am quite positive (having just checked) that not a single reaction in the entire mod uses cheese_mat. What did you mean then by it ?

I actually had the same problem with Genesis once. The problem is stunning: some codecs can't handle some .ogg files. And by 'can't handle' I mean crashing the whole system with a blue screen of death. Turn the music off, replace the audio file with something else, or get another codec. At least that fixed the problem for me.

So, the game does not freeze because of the embark. It freezes because the music starts.

Hey Meph I've been playing you mod for a while (pretty obvious ) and I is it just me or does the simple gems setting drastically reduce the odds of finding gems? The other settings don’t seem to have that effect. Is there any way to increase the frequency of gems without increasing the number of types?

What you do with wheel barrows I believe is at a crafts dwarf's workshop you make mining, loging, or corpse carts and then you can use those to transport ten of those item types from a loading station to an unloading station.

EDIT: wow just got ambushed by a werebeaver...
EDIT2: that was even less uneventfull then I expected. I thought I would send out the militia and they would kill it. All it did was kill a mule foal and transform into a dwarf and run away.

Mass designate for dumping, go to the tile you want stuff to be at, open dfhack, autodump, then mass designate reclaim.  But that's cheating.
