Watching season 1 of Terra Nova ... it just feels like dwarf fortress mod.

You get migrant waves (and sole member of original embark who survived alone till first wave and is now mayor).

Yiu get taste of dwarven job assigment when hero gets farming enabled till powers that be decide that sheriff is needed to deal with criminals.

There is walled-off fortress with small farmland inside. You overhear concerns about having enough housing for next migrant wave.

There are ambushers, even siegers in finale. They are dealing with wildlife and stuff.

All in all, it feels dwarfy.

(So, actual mod, anyone?)

I don't really watch TV and have thus never heard of the show, but the Wikipedia synopsis looks dwarfy enough.  Wouldn't be much of a mod, though...add an abundance of late Cretaceous dinosaurs and it looks like you might be set.  Be a great Lets Play, though.

[Prologue]

I might mod it, might now. Depends if I finish my first mod project.

I love the show. Can't wait for season 2.

[Loud Whispers]

The caverns or HFS wouldn't make sense though :/

[Stargrasper]

Can't were turn the number of cavern layers to 0 and the number of HFS to 0?

I know what you mean! I'd work on a mod, but, well, I am not very good at modding. Maybe with extensive help from this forum and Tv Tropes...maybe Wikipedia if I can't find out enough from Tv Tropes...Hulu if I'm desperate...

Yup, in advanced worldgen. And you can up the number of layers between the surface and the magma sea. This will, of course, lead to volcanoes being empty.

Should you be waiting the month or so for the next version or won't it break the mod too badly?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Makes sense, but I can start now. How much can be drastically changed?

You have been reading the dev log, right?  Anyway, the new version will likely only causes minimal bugs.  Most of the features not relevant to your mod can probably be turned off at worldgen.

You know you play too much DF when everything else starts showing similarities to DF.

And if it doesn't... Play more DF. And if it does? Play more DF.

Guess it is time for intervention...

To add or remove DF from his life?
