- Butcher the megabeast in the slaughterhouse for your rewards
- 1. a trophy to put in your display cases, or use as tradegood
- 2. a skill aether that turns one skill into legendary immediatly
- 3. a unique reward specific to the beast you killed... dragonscale armor, manticore poison and more...
Steam Engine & Magma Steam Engine- A workshop that creates power.
- Connect the axles/gears at the top left or right corner.
- Needs to be build above a "downstairs" to water.
- Needs fuel or magma for one activation.
Sawmill- Little brother of the timberyard
- Cut your wood logs into 4 wood planks/blocks
- Start contructing your wooden aboveground fortress today!
The Return of the Blast Furnace- Because I was asked so often: Where is it gone?
- Allows mass smelting of ore.
- Allows mass production of fuel.
Water/Magma Source- Spawn your own liquids at the Spawn Location.
- Create unlimited water with the tear of armok.
- Create unlimited magma with the blood of armok.
- Transport water from the fishpond or fountain.
- Transport magma from the magma smelter.
- Note: You have to deconstruct the Spawn Location to release the liquid.Transmutation Cycle- Transmute 2bars of any metal into 1,5bars of the next best.
- Needs flux to work.
- This enables to obtain every metal type on each map... for a cost.
Alchemy and Chemistry- Coat weapons and ammo with different poisons.
- Create exploding ammo, one good hit will defeat an invasion.
No Manual- Horrible outdated building guides!
- Fumble your own way through a unique experience!
- Note: I have neither dreamweaver nor the last version of the html manual with me. So... good luck, I guess...Full Changelog:

Added sawmill building. Little brother of the timberyard, can cut logs into 4 planks (blocks). Goes with the "refine 1 into 4" theme of the game, and the wooden blocks can be used for contructions.
Added new system for Transmutation. It is now a cycle, and each metal can be created on each map.
Added Slaughterhouse system. Megabeasts now leave corpses instead of skill aether.
Megabeast corpses can be butchered in the slaugherhouse for 3 things:
1 Skill aether, 1 trophy (decoration or tradegood) and 1 special reward specific to the killed beast.
Added bitteroot and shadowleaf poison, directly taken from Genesis. This is a testrun. I will wait for feedback upon the "coat weapon/ammo" mechanic and see where I take it from there.
Special thanks to:
- Deon, because I blatantly stole the bitterroot/shadowleaf poisons for testing purposes.
- Falconne, for his dfhack plugins. Seriously, check them out.
- My brain, for keeping me awake till this was finished.
- You guys, for showing the patience. First update in 3 months, yeah. *dead.
Personal note:
- This entire thing is pretty much untested. I run 2 very short test forts, checked the errorlogs, did debugging on the GUI, but havent run every single reaction one by one. I do hope that I killed more bugs then I created, and wish everyone happy bug-hunting
I do know of one cosmetic bug in the GUI: If you enable orcs, close the gui and reopen it, the logo will still show a dwarf. The button will correctly show that you selected orcs however, so this is a very minor concern.
