You heard him, he doesn't even use version control. No one's saying it's an efficient hundred hours.

Anyone read the FOTF reply? The next big release sounds insane, apparently you'll be able to embark on a cosmic eggshell fragment with your procedurally generated race.

having terrain be a literal giant cosmic eggshell wouldnt even be that difficult to implement since he already has obsessively put in material definitions for a lot of dumb poo poo already

It is kind of a weird area though really- a lot of the great old myths and stories involve weapons of some special material. Like, not just any sword can kill this guy, you need star metal or some junk. So the game has to know why that material is special I guess, and it makes sense that you include material properties for your run of the mill stuff too. Although it does lead to some pretty rad stuff like how adamantine would conduct sound at the speed of light, from what I recall. Someone on the Bay12 forums did a full  on adamantine properties.

The game's updates carry the things that worked, not all the dead ends explored along the way. Nor is it easy to see existing things that have to be changed to support something new, but remain functionally the same themselves.

It's not a good idea to peer too closely at sorcerers' workflows. See things unfit for decent people.

Its only passably written.  Regardless, the dwarf that wrote it was just an rear end in a top hat that liked writing books on his values and challenging people to foot races.

Just getting back into this after almost 2 years. Is there anyway to grow garden vegetables? I have some, but the only option I have is to cook them, which unless I'm mistaken doesn't supply seeds. The wiki only says something like "I guess I should add this info later"

Johnny Aztec posted:Do you have a link to that? I would like to read that. Here you go. Later in the thread, Da Vinci gets into all sorts of material properties for just about everything, but that one post highlights the funny bits. For example, adamantine instruments would apparently produce vibrations that would sever your fingers when you played.

The sad truth is that the real cause was probably a bowl injury, yeah. Art can't do that. Not yet. I mean it, the magic system is going to be mad as balls.

The wiki only says something like "I guess I should add this info later" Garden vegetables only grow outside and will only grow if the biome allows it. You can tell if a biomes is proper for it if it has plants to forage. If you see a big plain of grass but no foragables the veggies wont grow.

counterfeitsaint posted:But how do you grow them? Or is it simply a forage only thing? Put a farm plot in the proper spot (muddy soil, outside, correct biome) and they'll show up as options to plant just like anything else. The seeds can be obtained from any process besides cooking - eating, processing, pressing, whatever (each crop can have different things done with it) and I think they can also be bought from caravans. For the most part, they're not really any more useful than underground crops are though.

The benefit is pretty anemic once you have a legendary dining room, opulent bedrooms, artifacts everywhere, etc. Hey, Shithead #35 likes onions and this barf roast has onions in it to complement the barf and bat blood. But I understand the need to build gigantic expanses of walls to protect useless farms.
