#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.

@masceus: Well. Fuck. I got this report before, and linked it to the workflow plugin of falconne, who fixed a lot of bugs. Are you using any workflow dfhack stuff? If not there must be another source. Could you do me the favor of starting Dwarf Fortress without DFhack and see if it happens ?

To start without dfhack just remove the sdl.dll in the dwarf fortress directory, and rename the SDLreal.dll to sdl.dll. Just for one startup, you can put the old sdl.dll back afterwards.

[Masceus]

@meph: Yup, that definitely fixed it, must've been the workflow plugin I guess.

[Meph]

In that case thanks for the report, and it would be great if you could send me your save. I will give it to falconne, the author of the plugin, and send hima  report. Hopefully it will help him narrow down on the issue and fix it.

Hm, I've noticed when trying to make bins, I hit n 10 times (for 10 bins), and the 11th time I hit it it crashed the game. Its done this every time I've tried. Huh?

Are you using the very latest MasterWork release? This should not be happening any more unless your installation is older than the latest (or the installation of the latest wasn't complete).

Try pressing any of the other workflow hotkeys (such as 'g') while tracking is turned off. Does that cause a crash too? If so, either you're on the previous version, or this is a different cause. In which case I could use your save to debug it.

@falconne: Disregard this, it is an old version of the mod, 2c. Not the new one.

I believe I found a bug in v2.d - in reaction_masterwork.txt all reactions for Magma Crucible are for [BUILDING:MAGMA_CRUCIBLE:CUSTOM_H]
but in building_furnaces_masterwork.txt the name is [BUILDING_FURNACE:CRUCIBLE_MAGMA], so I didn't have any reactions in my Magma Crucible. When I changed it to CRUCIBLE_MAGMA, it has been fixed.

Sorry, if it has been already reported.

[Meph]

@aenri: Ehm.. no ? The building is MAGMA_CRUCIBLE and the reactions go to the same one. Really, I just unpacked the rar and checked. This was a bug in v2, and was fixed then. I dont mean to sound mean, I do like to get reports about things that are broken, but something must have been done wrong on your end. Like I said, this is not an issue in V.2d, V.2c or V.2b

There is a small problem with embark equipment. My dwarves dont seem to take cloth items at all in their default embark list, i have to add all of them manually

[Meph]

How is that different from vanilla, and/or a problem? I dont know any reason why anyone would want cloth items OR take use the default embark. ^^

I also have no clue how to do the slag clutter. The entire system of cluttering workshops is different from how it is described in the wiki. I gave slag ridiculus numbers, each item is 5 MILLION weight. First 50 of them wont clutter the workshop. One mithril bar weights 6. 250 million weight in slag would mean 41,6 million mithril bars. So its not the weight, as the wiki states. Its also not the volume, because I tried with custom tools with an enormous size, same thing. The calculation must include item amount in some way. This means I cant clutter workshops with just 10 bars or so, like I planned.

[Meph]

I also would like to make a report. I got two bugreports about silk cocoons from moths not being harvested, as well as scales from drakes going to the refuse pile and not being used in the tanner.

I tested both things. Both reports were wrong. And both features work like intended.

The silk moths give cocoons, if the hives are set to gather produce and you have jugs, and are automatically made into silk thread in the kitchen.
The drake scales go to the refuse pile, yes. Skin in vanilla does that as well. That is normal. The scales are accepted in the tanner, and tanned into rigid scaleplate.

[Fairin]

scales from drakes going to the refuse pile and not being used in the tanner.

Was kobold camp, meph. it wasnt "auto tanning" could tell them to tan a skin and they'd get on it.

[Meph]

Because its not a skin, but a scale... ^^so its just the problem that kobols miss the specific tanning reactions... not that I broke the drakes. Good to know

Edit: What is also good to know is the fact that plants are read out from the raws from bottom to top. Just sorted them alphabetically, so find out that they are now sorted alphabetically backwards ingame. -.-²

Sounds like it's cut and paste time.

[Meph]

Yeah, with 42 plants x3 (phoebus, ascii, ironhand)... but no, now is sleep time. But at least I did a little bit today:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 - Fixed double entry of helms in stockpiles
 - Dog is back
 - Made FrostGiants and Automatons agree with each other. They had perfectly opposing ethics, Giants wiped out the Automatons.
 - Slag value set to 0 (from amazing 28, ups)
 - Fixed stranglers and war-elephants from Fortress Defense bringing weapons.
 - War/hunting trained gorillas and mandrills no longer look like cows.
 - Fixed Ram and Stake upgrades
 - Lasherdwarves are now correctly named as such
 - Meteoric now gives 2 bars instead of 6 (since all small-cluster drop stones 100% of the time, instead of 25% as they should)
 - Reduced the amount of grass, surface should be a bit tidier.
 - Kept the amount of grass for savage biomes, this way you see a difference.
 - Deleted dart thrower and darts from engineer. Its redundant now that the poison-coating exists.
 - Added full sprite-set for Kobolds, with all professions
 - Added two new creatures that can be hived/farmed: Bane spider and cochineal.
 - Bane spiders give venom that the toxicist makes into Greenskin Bane Poison. Replaces old ingredients.
 - Cochineal give insect hives that can be milled into carmine dye at any quern/millstone.
 - Using silk moths and cochineal together is a valuable industry, giving silk and dye at the same time.
 - Added Large Dress Aware Patcher to the download (in utility folder) and linked it to the GUI.
 - Added the LNP laptop-keybinds to the GUI.
 - Researchers Study now correctly portraits both yes and no on the button.

 - ALL THE CHANGES ARE NOT RELEASED YET, ONLY IN MY WORKING VERSION.
