I asked to be put in the last at fifty-one. Why wasn't I placed?!

You were! I just haven't posted the updated list.

I figured it would be useless to post the list every time there was an addition.

However, I can just post the additions themselves

OK then, I'm done. But DFFD is giving me trouble right now... hold on...

EDIT: Whatever. I can't get DFFD to work right now. I've put the save on my site, just DL it from there. I'll put it on DFFD tomorrow, going to bed now.

I don't plan on going very far with these tests, but I have discovered a few things on the surface that could use fixing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Since great axes are still mulitgrasp, goblins can't use them to cut wood. Might as well bring their single-grasp level down to gobbo size (heck, do this for mauls, two-handed swords, pikes, and halberds too). It won't have any kind of worldly impact, since sieges already use them with shields anyway. Then again, this might be fixed in the next version.

Goblins can't request trolls from the traders. They can only be brought with the initial embark.

The wood output on the giving tree is a bit excessive. I was thinking it would be a full-time job that uses a skill (like druid), similar to the mason-building of blocks in a workshop. Unless their players don't mind having all the wood they'll ever need right at the very start of the game :V

This is probably not within your modding capabilities, but what if the Giving Tree dispensed wood based on the material you built it with?

Other than that, it would be neat if gobbos could embark with beak dog pets. I'm not sure what this would affect though.

[Eric Blank]

I'm considering how to get beak dogs for goblins. just letting them take wildlife from biomes they possess the same way elves do would end up being a little excessive. I'm also worried about their inability to trade trolls, but that may well be caused by the same circumstances that prevents them from bringing other animals.

I'll definitely make some of the larger weaponry available to goblin-size creatures, since they use them anyway.

And yes, the giving tree's reaction was still kinda messed up in that upload. but no there's no way for it to provide any kind of wood you desire just based on the species of log used to build the tree. You could, say, force it to duplicate a log the elf brings to the tree, though.


This communtiy game is going to be SO MUCH FUN with the new release, though. I'm still fairly apprehensive about modding anything in right now considering the brand new raws that are about to be dumped on us.

Yoink.

I'll have the save ready at midnight on Tuesday, EST.

All hail the mighty Sockthulu. (Or whatever else I decide to do with this).

EDIT:

I'm probably going to do a trial run of Project SPARTAN with this, so I brought 3 turkey gobblers and 10 hens. Anyway, I embarked on the one volcano I could find, and it's pretty cool. It's like Minas Tirith, but with magma. There's iron, copper, tin, gold, silver, and zinc, but no sign of coal or flux. It has trees, though, so I don't need the coal. There's also a partial aquifer and a good bit of clay and soil, so overall a pretty good site. I'm digging my entrance at the top of the volcano, which is barely connected to the mountain at that point.

what all didja wind up doing?

[Elifre]

So far so good. I finally found the first cavern layer, 155 z-levels below the surface. >.>

What's sad is it goes down to -275 for the very bottom layer, but I suppose that's what happens when you play around with mountains.

In other news, I've yet to find flux, so unless it's under the aquifer, then there isn't likely to be any until I reach the magma sea. That's a good bit further down, sadly. I'm just starting up the fortress, since I didn't really do anything until midnight to keep things fair. It's looking like the mountainhome has no leaders, but given its name, "The Knives of Law", I suspect that's for a reason. There's also some aluminum on the map, so Project SPARTAN will have a decent chance once I can get the metal industry up.

EDIT:

Found some flux in the first cavern, so there's that.

EDIT 2:

What the hell? I found another cavern 240 z levels down, but all it showed me was an enclosed 1x1x2 space. That's not a bloody cavern.

I want in!  How do i get on the list?

Oh, and this is my first post to the forums, I am a long time lurker.

Well, if you're a long time lurker, you know the drill of welcoming new members.

BURN HIM WITH MAGMA!

<.<    >.>
Sorry, what?


Anyway, I've worked on the test fort for three and a half hours now, so I'm going to give it a break until tomorrow. I've started up food production and built some workshops, dug down to the magma sea, found candy, found flux, found all three cavern layers, and a bugged fourth layer (1x1 room with a roof a level up. Still don't know what's going on here. >.>), and I got a migrant wave. Nothing useful, other than the one High Master Miner who brought a pick. I also have the Project SPARTAN rooms designated, but that's something I'll work on in a bit.

The plan is to get a child or two in there with enough food and booze to last them fifteen or so years, seal it off (after giving them dogs and care packages), and then dig down to HFS somewhere near the end of my turn. I might have to get a copy of this world before abandoning just to see what happens.

[Eric Blank]

I fully expect Girlinhat to try that on her turn, and then set all her dwarves to the -1 (wildlife or other unaffiliated) civ number with runesmith before turning in

[Duntada Man]

What number are you guys on on the list?

Yoink.

Sup?
...Oh hey, how the HFS did I not spot this thread earlier?! D: Damn, sign me up for a turn! By Armok, we shall reach number 55 on the list or... Or nothing, really. But we shall!

[Eric Blank]

13?

Were you lookign to join too? You'd end up #55, after Yoink.

You also won't get your turn for a very, very long time.
