#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.

Thanks Zach. Shame, ill just have to use massed concubine for insta-army.

Bit strange having "golem children" running around but atleast the mental image that comes to mind when one punches a greenskin in the skull, ramming the skull into the brain, makes me d'awwwww

*sniff* They grow up so fast!

Meph, could you add bone arrows reaction perhaps? I tend to like using bows because goblins are so kind and bring nice ones to me every time.

Heh Yeah concubines seem the way to go. Tis a shame, I had an entire burrow/pasture assembly line going for my broodslave-golem-hell mastery program.

Now if only I can get that no dwarfs embark....One way to reclaim the world

I thought I saw this answer earlier, but I can't seem to find it now.  How can I keep my dwarfs from trying to collect the slade and copper projectiles my turrets fire?

edited my post but it seems no one saw, looking at the raws says a concubine shouldn't be able to become a golem

he declares each caste skipping concubine : /

although i could be wrong and it works

Is there a trick to get turrets to fire on enemies?  I have had some pastured behind fortifications but within LOS of revealed thieves and the occasional ambush, and nothing ever happened.  Previous ambush they were in the open and just got shot by aim-for-ya-throats.

I also noticed the dead ones show as "missing" because the deconstructed mechanisms aren't recognized as body parts.   

Also never got an answer from my previous question.  With dangerous smelting turned off, what would cause furnace operators to randomly bleed to death at magma arc furnaces?  At first I thought it was a magma critter popping them from below, but the magma channel is behind a fortification and there are no observable critters down there right after the event.

The music thing sounds interesting.  Guess I'll download and give it a try.

Just a minor text error:



Also, the Crematorium hotkey is the same as the Magma Metallurgist, which is I

Hey is there a way to remove the Odd stone types such as the Bloodstone and such and return it to a more natural vanilla feel while leaving in the Masterwork ores and such. I really hate the look and idea of them as natural stone on surface level, if they were more lower in the depth meter such as having the bloodstone make up parts of the 3rd cavern and the fungi one the 2nd or heck having the bloodstone part of HFS stone areas (if even possible) would be nicer. I feel that it breaks too far away from natural looking mountains when there is exposed bleeding stone...

[zach123b]

i think turrets have to be adjacent to the fortification

can you be a bit more specific what you're doing for the bleeding to death at the magma arc furnace?

misc features - less solid rock, bottom left
it puts living stone back to bauxite and cave fungus to microcline among other stones

I found a problem with the "pray for drink" reaction in the Altar of Armok. It creates a barrel of plump helmet none instead of dwarven wine. In the last space in the product line, you need to replace PLANT with DRINK.

[Orkel]

Yo, just noticed you added the brains (yay), could you add my name in the OP's credit list? thanks

To all the Masterwork players, how are you guys finding the brain changes to be? Working well enough or still getting a lot of silly deaths?

As with all creatures having projectile attacks, they need a clear, unblocked path to the target (even if they don't necessarily fire along the path or move toward the target to shoot). If the turret was pastured in a room completely surrounded by fortifications (e.g. you dropped it in from above), or locked (or sealed mechanically) the door after putting the turret inside it, or channeled out, without ramps, a moat around it, it won't have a valid path to reach the target, and won't attempt to engage, and thus won't fire.

I'm looking at the raws using Beyond Compare 3. The changes from 1.7.1 in a few select files (minus the obvious changes from the changelog):

creature_standard.txt

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Updated descriptions of all races.
2. Goblins no longer have [EVIL]
3. Gremlins are now renamed to GREMLIN2 and now have PET_EXOTIC, increased natural skill in Ambushing from 3 to 6, and FREQUENCY:100. GREMLIN has been kept in, and the only noticeable difference I can see is that GREMLIN2 has FREQUENCY:100 and GREMLIN doesn't. Please correct me if I'm wrong, my parser is screwy since it's trying to compare GREMLIN with the 1.7.1 TROLL.
4. Only the males of the sentient races have a chance of dropping skill essences. Dwarves are excluded, as they don't drop them.
5. All creatures have BIOME:ANY_LAND as well as their native biome. Most creatures have FREQUENCY:100. Most, if not all, creatures have their EVIL/GOOD/FANCIFUL tags removed.
6. Bronze Colossus may have a bug. It has a duplicate ANY_LAND. It now looks like [BIOME:ANY_LAND][BIOME:ANY_LAND]  (intentional, or a random mistake?)
7. Merperson, Sea Serpent, and Sea Monster has BIOME:ANY_LAND. What.

inorganic_zmasterwork.txt

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Bonemeal is now IS_STONE.
2. Blizzard and Black Mass added. Likely they are the new weathers.

entity_default.txt

1. Dwarven civilizations now build outdoor fortifications and tombs.
2. Runic robes added to the Dwarven civ armor list.
3. Removed Round Shield from the Dwarven civ armor list.

creature_slave.txt

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Removed most biomes and added BIOME:ANY_LAND
2. Removed EVIL and GRASSTRAMPLE:0
3. Changed PET to PET_EXOTIC and removed COMMON_DOMESTIC
4. Changed POPULATION_NUMBER from 30:30 to 3000:30000

item_shield.txt

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. "Shields" have been formally renamed to "Round Shields". Stats are the same as before.
2. Kite Shields now have better stats than Round Shields.
3. Tower Shields added, with better stats than Kite Shields.

All in all, a good patch. Though, some things in creature_standard make me scratch my head.

I believe this changed due to a recent Toady patch, and now dragons, giant cave spiders, and turrets seem to fire without necessarily having a path (although turrets still only fire if they're directly up against the fortification)
