Nothing but forward progress. There are a whole lot of generous people that have signed on and hopefully more will follow. That means more work for us, but as Toady says, "These are the problems we want to have." It's like we've climbed up a boulder and can now see beyond the immediate traps and falls to the distant light we call the future.
Thanks to everybody that helped out in May! This is our first month with Patreon numbers, and they accounted for almost exactly half of the total. There was some shift from PayPal, but it has more than evened out, so we're all good. My theoretical release schedule worked out about as well as expected. We're continuing with adventure mode tavern/performance stuff this month, which is all of the adventure mode stuff there is to do aside from the library maps.

Huh, I had no idea that Masterwork was out for the new version. I'll send back a trip report.

Yeah it's pretty good I guess, lasted about three years without a crash, which is average for 40.24, I think, with DFHack running. I didn't try any of the other races because I don't care about them (especially the succubi, who unfortunately have made it back in) but it's in a pretty good state right now. It has a lot of its old quality-of-life features (how I've missed you, make entire set of clothing job) but not all of them, especially most of the expanded metalwork options. Can't make spring steel, etc. The Liaison Office is back, so theoretically if you mint coins you'll be able to summon caravans and such, but I haven't tried that yet. Some of its features are less useful than they were in DF2012, like the wood splitting block, which previously allowed you to convert logs (which could be extremely scarce in DF2012) into multiple "planks." But overall I'd say it's worth playing. The UI is in the middle of a huge overhaul right now so there's no way to turn on or off specific additions, so it's all or nothing right now.

While messing around with modding and the arena, I discovered that 150 humans, clad head to toe in adamantine armor, with adamantine battle-axes and shields, with maximum Fighter, Axe, Dodge, Armor User, Shield User, Wrestler, Observer, Striker, and Kicker skills, can eventually kill a single naked Slade Colossus with no skills. It managed to kill 106 of them before one of them got a sever on its lower body. Now, does anyone know how I would make everyone not instantly hostile to a slade colossus adventurer in adv mode? It's admittedly kind of fun playing Godzilla Simulator but it would be nice not having to explode the heads of every sentient being I encounter.

Make a new creature based on a civilized creature, and then just replace their physical form with that of a colossus.

Create a custom syndrome that mutates the gently caress out of a creature, turning them into a slade colossus. Then something something dfhack can probably do it.

Come to think of it, I could probably change a certain tissue layer from its default material to slade. Slade-skin dwarves. They'd basically be impervious to cutting weapons made of anything less than adamantine, even buck-rear end naked. Everything inside would still be squishy, though, so they'd still be vulnerable to crush-type damage. I wonder how that would effect speed. Or what about adamantine-skinned dwarves? Or adamantine teeth? Adamantine bones and nails? Mister Bates fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jun 3, 2015 |

It's possible. Ant people with adamantine instead of chitin are fun.

If creatures have adamantine tissue, and they die, can you melt their bits down for metal?

Yeah, the ITEMCORPSE token replaces the default carcass (CORPSE) item type with whatever you desire. Standard colossuses use that.

Yeah, I forgot to change it for my slade colossus (which is just a bronze colossus, with all the tissue materials changed from bronze to slade), so it still drops a bronze statue when it dies.

It's interesting to see how different some of the scholar setups can be -- the second library I visited had nothing but human and elf naturalists writing about migration patterns and animal reproduction. Next up, hard drinking in adv mode taverns.

Does Toady ever plan on implementing, like, boats? As-is, any areas that aren't connected by land will just never interact with each other ever. In my last worldgen, this resulted in one tiny island completely carpeted with necromancer towers, and no other necromancers anywhere else in the world.

While on the subject of worldgen weirdness, I just genned a medium world with a 550-year history, and ended up with a world whose last 200 years of history have been constant 'wars' consisting of an army of over 1000 elves launching endless, completely-uncontested attacks. There is a dwarven settlement that has been pillaged 743 times over those 550 years.

When my brother received his PhD, it was in a ceremony with new doctorates from several different faculties, so everyone present got to listen about advanced mathematics, nanomaterials, finding new members of a number of rare species in a swamp, and, er, new methods for dealing with reproductive problems of horses.

I'd probably still replace the "text"-text with something else. It's like a random half of the letters in the table are bolded. It works on the graphics side, though. Even I think that's pretty neat.
