scamtank posted:Most of "The Group of Hops" history concerns booze getting stolen from their cities by drunk ettins and building a lot of bridges between cities. A respectable bunch. Where did all those loving zombies come from? Hm. Tooling around in legends mode I happened across a couple entries like "Elfy McElfname's corpse," which on further inspection were entries for "unnamed zombies" that just said things like "In the year 104 Elfy McElfname began operating as a mercenary out of Blazecudgels." I figured it was probably just that thing where people get converted into vampires or male woman of moon hag brides or whatever and all their history retroactively changes to reflect their new state, but no--a) Elfy McElfname had her own separate entry, b) she died around year 4 and didn't get zombiefied until like year 30, and c) Blazecudgels was a necromancer tower. So basically what I'm saying is maybe necromancers now hire out their projects as undead thugs? Which would be pretty  if so.

I haven't seen many opinions on trees in .40, but I think they look absolutely great. Maarak posted:Is that an antarctic volcano in the SW? Oh man, it is. The problem with that world was that I was just testing some population numbers after my custom world always had one or two sentient species getting wiped out within the first hundred years. That world had all the boring/not-fun stuff like bogeymen, low megabeast numbers, etc so I didn't bother keeping it.

I haven't run into that many crashes and save corruption seems to be gone, too. Just annoying things like 30 minute loading times for Medium worlds, scaredy citizens and passive siegers, troupes of animal men in the wilderness that introduce themselves as TRANS_NAME] and brag about attacking you instead of actually defending themselves, everyone using their fists over anything else, that sort.

Hey scamtank, you should do a detailed writup of your string patcher stuff and put it in the OP. I'm interested in readable item descriptions but a convenient guide I could follow would be awesome. Also, now that wood is much more plentiful and boulders are still heavy as poo poo, I've discovered a newfound fondness for wood crafts. While not very valuable, they're made of very light materials, can be produced very quickly and you can fit tons of them in a bin. You can't make mugs but general crafts still do the job. Plus you're almost guaranteed to get a legendary woodcrafter after a few strange moods. I tend to make most of my furniture out of wood now as well. Noble rooms still get stone furniture but the lowly peasants will have to make do with their masterwork pine cabinets. There was also talk of danger rooms being actually dangerous now. None of my dwarves ever got injured even though they weren't wearing chain shirts (they're supposed to protect the throat, but now that necks are a thing it might be slightly different?). Maybe they were all wearing cloaks, which do protect the throat, so it might be wise to invest in some leather cloaks for your military. AFAIK they also give marginal protection to the face bits like eyes and ears.

The N stands for "Nobody outside this thread would get the joke" The pixeldorf at least allows using it for deadpan "sooooo scaaary  "

Is the pixeldorf meant to have the resolution all hosed from careless resizing?

Fair enough  I guess the first-suggested one is also more applicable in non-DF situations due to having less clutter. One thing I think might improve it a bit would be making the line widths equal to make it look less resized:suggestion:  original:  EDIT: I feel like these days Dwarf Fortress is mainly a thing that inspires me to draw instead of actually playing the game! This new version in particular has already spawned so many amazing stories.

Michaellaneous posted:Has anyone a good working optimization plan for dwarf therapist? If yes, would you share? Try Lagrange multipliers first. If the problem is too complex, try a particle swarm or two. Combine it with a genetic algorithm if that fails. If the problem is beyond that, you'll have to resort to model predictive control.
