quick update, the dwarves just showed up (at the very same place as an ambush of warlocks, so they flew, but the liaison managed to get to my fort, I can now ask for them...

... Wait, they don't have any blueprint in what I can ask.
Ok, now we'll wait 10 years for the human civilisation to show up I guess.

[Meph]

Good that I anticipated that problem and added a failsafe:
Humans trade blueprints.
If humans are extinct, drow also trade blueprints.
If drow are extinct (really?), you can make them yourself. Yes, you can.

Build a Tech Research Lab and give the blueprint reactions a go

hey Meph, on the topic of worldgen.

the 'rampages' of megabeasts and titans kill off historical figures only, if all the historical figs in a civ die, it is unable to visit you in some cases. may be causing the issue. however on the other hand its quite nice to fight a couple of thunder birds/cyclops/etc every single fort, without depopulating the world.


and on the topic of shells, i do believe the majority of no votes were due to implications that they were unusable for moods, if they can be made useable in the stead of shells i think that could be ok, but it would require some interesting tag edits more than likely.

new version sounds nice, remember to include the various fixes people have posted. (i know, just that i have seen modders forget to do this before. )

[Meph]

Yeah, I dont want to lower the megabeast amount any more. They are fun and should be.

Shell tag to tanned_shell does not work, already tested. Like I said, I removed it, no tanning of shells. Scales and Chitin also works, and a new addition: Drakescales, bronze-grade, you get them from shearing drakes. The reptiles, not the birds

And I did add all the fixes posted by people, that is the sole reason I make everything puplic here

Technical question - is such shearing lethal to the subject? I think it should be

Out of curiosity, and since I'm not about to scan so many pages of posts: What's up with this subject of shell-tanning? That concept confuses the hell out of me.

[Thoth]

Hey Meph,
How about Archae or a variant, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/archae-, well it'd have my vote anyway since the meaning is ancient / beginning.
Did you see my one line improvement on the batch file for the manual?
Oh and 1 other thing i noticed common skin is listed under cheeses on the trade screen.

[Meph]

common skin cheese is from mod 1.3 as far as I now. is long fixed.

Shell tanning would be the same as scale and chitin: You take the raw material, and make a item-grade material out of it, for example for quivers, backpacks or armor. But since people want the shell for moods, I did not include it. Otherwise you could wear Shell backpacks

1.5 is done btw. Uploading... very... slowly....

This pleases me.....

[mglarev]

Armok is pleased! No save game compatibility, I guess?

Unlikely. Meph said earlier that the only way to "update" is delete your current Masterwork folder/files and redownload the new version.

[Nighthawk]

Can I still add modded workshops into the game if I'm using this launcher?

[Meph]

Reconnect at 39,9% Trying again...

Not a chance for save compability, not after you see the 12 new options in the GUI

Shearing is NOT lethal, thats the point. You could also just butcher the drake and get the scales, once. Hope no one gets confused with drake (small reptile dragon thingy) and drake (male bird thingy pet) Should be obvious, the prices are slightly different

@nighthawk: Sure you can.

[mglarev]

What type of internet connection from hell do you have?
Perhaps just upload it to a public bittorrent tracker?
