#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.

Well i always play in my mods in DF:) So i just started vivisecting masterwork and taking raws into parts. Maybe i will even post some parts of it so that you can add the feature you want yourself. If it is needed by someone - please inform me (though i only started).

I'm sure you would earn a lot of love from a lot of people in here if you were to pick out all the standardized material raws (IE the wood, leather, etc) and packaged them to stick in vanilla.  That seems to be the biggest draw to masterwork.

I'd love a mod that just stripped out the wood and leather, and  included some more challenging invaders. Wicked potential for a game imho, just badly  under-resourced. But, for the price,  great. Still think an open source effort would be great - which in essence is what the modder's are trying to do, sans source code.

Is planned. Like I said, when I am back in Germany, i will do a complete overhaul of the mod. The options should revert back to vanilla, and the standardized stuff can be selected as well. And it will have playtesting by me, ha. The entire mod has been written on a netbook so far, while travelling, so just you wait till I actually have access to a real computer.

PS: Currently in the middle of gorram nowwhere, in the Mojave desert. Temp is hovering between 100 and 110, and still 220miles to go till Flagstaff, my next break.

How much have you experimented yet with turning off the features you don't like in the mod-loading GUI?  I think that just turning everything on the Creatures*, Materials, Building, and Misc tabs to "NO" would be a lot like what you're describing.

*Except Giant Animals and Animalmen maybe

If you need any Java/Linux/Mac support, happy to help. One thing I've been meaning to do is capture a stack trace of SoundSense, that guy seems to die every five minutes.

i fixed all my crashing issues thank god. but now i have a gameplay question if i summon a mountain king do i lose control of that dwarf?

Not a huge amount I guess, though I've tweaked it as much as I'd like via the GUI. I'm not sure, still get out place creatures in biomes, but whether or not that is MW or not I'm not sure,

As an experiment, going to try a Dwarf-alike, using Slick (Java, 2D) stuff, or perhaps 3d, though the modelling is a killer then. I think 3d rendering, but 2d'ish in terms of physics. Surprising amount of coding challenges in getting those little peanuts to hoon around. Think the only way way forward is an open source project though. One man, no matter how many donations, is bound to fail. :p Mark my words.

Good god I'd donate thousands for a daily Game of Thrones episode, utterly addicted, great stuff.

Good luck Meph, the Mojave is amazing but not sure I'd have liked it so much without aircon!

Finally ready to share my world gen recipe, posted it in the DF2012 world gen cookbook: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101280.msg3376589#msg3376589

It's really designed for my Masterwork Mod enjoyment, it's a medium map as I like plenty of choices in starting location and room for civs to grow. It has a lot of volcanoes so you should be able to find some magma and it's a region so you'll get all the other races showing up at your doorstep.

It is designed for 9 races to have 4 civs each, so 36 civilizations. I have Kobolds, Goblins, Orcs, Frost Giants, Automations, Dwarfs, Elves, Humans and Evil Drow. I like the Drow but I reckon 3 trading races is enough so I use the evil Deep Drow race.

More info on the cookbook page but give it a go and let me know what you think.

I'm definitely going to try this, hopefully when .11 is finally ready for Masterwork but I'm itching to start a new fort so we'll see if I wait that long.  Thanks for sharing and I'll tell you how it goes!

[Meph]

The new release would have no new features... only fixes, both for the mod and vanilla DF. So, go ahead and start a new fortress, there is nothing you would miss

I am currently trying to get seeds from fungi/netherwood (the stuff in the caverns). But it seems that it simply does not work for me. Or I am stupid. Any ideas?

When i fell the "fungitrees", I only get wood (that I can not process to seeds), and I can not gather the small plants.

[Meph]

You need a timberyard. Cut the fungiwood bark, or refine small trees. They also need quite a while to grow, but they work flawlessly, once you have a big farm.

When you collect plants, some of them will be "small fungitrees".  These may be different plants than the young fungitree saplings, which are possibly what you're seeing that you can't collect.

Then you process the small trees at Timberyard workshop.  Upon processing, you'll get some seeds.  (in fact quite soon once you cultivate them: lots of seeds)

LOL, meph you keep ninja answering.  How do you do this while cycling through the desert?  Do you have some kind of heads up display visor with an audio input?
