Worse, what actually happens is you fall on top of the spear and try to parry the entire planet.

DEVLOG TI- no actually it's just a Future of the Fortress session. There was a word about plants, though:quote:Q: Now that we have real world fruits, etc, what will happen to the other ones (aside from the underground crops) which were basically analogs to real world crops? Like will bloated tubers become potatoes or something?

scamtank posted:I've heard something about really high falls on top of spear traps making the victims instantly legendary blockers or armor wearers, since the gained XP somehow scales with the astronomical amount of force inflicted. How heavy were those rocks? I dunno, I guess that might depend on the material? It was just layer stone of some sort.

The other most important fact from the Q&As is that ghosts can feel emotions but cannot cry due to their lack of eyes. Man, there's going to be some weird opportunities for modding. We can rid our forts of the emotionally unstable by replacing dwarf tears with lethal acid! PublicOpinion fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Apr 1, 2014 |

Welp, I know what I'll end up doing. A fortress of stone cold murdering communist dwarves. Bonus points if I can mod in cannibalism  Edit: seriously, cannibalism would be the best thing in DF. Suddenly all those migrants get a lot more useful. Not working? Off to the processing facility!

How come in adventure mode I'm forever finding cool terrain, waterfalls, gorges and stuff like that but for the life of me every fort I start is on a flat-ish area with ponds and a cliff face.

So one of my dwarves was cleaning himself by the well even after I installed dwarven baths. They're installed so that everyone has to walk through them to get anywhere important (like the well). Strange! I better have a look at his inventory, maybe he's got something sticky on him... He had dwarven blood on his guts and ribs (and has since healed back up) Sorry dude, no amount of soap will help you there. Thankfully he too came to this realisation and went back to work.

I sometimes wonder how many apparent oversights like that are oversights and how many are intentional. The thing where a dwarf picks a particular unit of material for a job and then cancels the job if that unit is missing for whatever reason, e.g. someone else got to it first or it is being moved in a container, seems like an oversight. But the thing where a dwarf obsessively tries to wash an internal body part seems silly enough to be on purpose. Perhaps in some future iteration such physical symptoms will give rise to mental conditions brought on by the constant awareness or belief that one is dirty on the inside, etc.

Of course the solution to blood on internal body parts is to boil away the blood.

I like that the name generator DF uses by default isn't weighted towards words you'd typically use to name a place. It makes forts more memorable since their names are always really weird and unique.

It's silly day on the internet: April first. But you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to tell you something that is no joke. We are working like dogs to get this release out and you know it's coming. Because of your gifts we are able to bring it to you without worry or stress. We cannot thank you enough.
Thanks to everybody that helped out in March! Plant objects should be ready in a day or two, then there are just intruder checks, info screens and vampire/god guards to handle for the feature list to be complete. Once that's done, I'll be cleaning random crap for a while until the game is playable, as usual.

That actually neatly solves the problem I was having trying to play Warlock in evil biomes: what the gently caress do I eat? I think one of the nicest things packaged with Masterwork DF is the preset worldgen setups that filter out all the really cruddy/boring embarks. I've tinkered with vanilla DF worldgen for probably hundreds of runs and still have a hard time getting large numbers of evil biomes.

Wait a minute. "God guards"? Does this refers to the adventure mode overhall where new entities can take over civilizations (or like a vampire/demon posing as a god and taking over a kingdom)? Or is this something else?

Bizarre. Five kinds of wheat beer? Sure. But barley, the thing normal beer is made out of, makes barley wine. And rye makes rye beer. Neither barley nor rye is used to make whisk(e)y! No malted barley? Sorghum beer, rice beer (there's a comment next to frozen rice beer saying that sake is rice beer, and there are also rice wines... that's... not really right), four kinds of millet beer, teff beer, maize beer, but no beer beer. Corn! Makes beer. Not moonshine. e. Potato wine, for armok's sake Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Apr 3, 2014 |

Yeah, that's what happened to gem and stone densities during the v34 dev cycle. That was a major undertaking with a lot of references, though. Just going "nuh-uh that's not right" isn't enough to convince him.

I'd hope "beer is made of barley" would not require a huge amount of evidence to prove. Also there isn't hops, but there's a notation for bitter melon saying its leaves can be used instead of hops. Maybe hops is in a different raw file.
