What new version? [editline]01:12PM[/editline] Oh never mind, read the thread. DAMN YOU.
[b]New devlog[/b] [quote]I went through the purring maggot process from animal trap capture to storing the milk in barrels in a food stockpile. Of course, the issue with this has been dwarves just up and eating the maggot at any point in the process. I changed it so that they would only eat purring maggots if they were starving and nothing else were close by. I tested the change by having the starving dwarves stand in a meeting zone with the food up in a stockpile to the north. In between the stockpile and the dwarves, a succulent purring maggot tempted from an animal trap. They performed well, passing up the maggot for other food. At the end, there were seven dwarves, five pieces of food, and the maggot. I made them starve again -- five dwarves ate regular food, the doctor ate the purring maggot, and the fisherdwarf ran downstairs, caught a live cave spider and ate it on the spot. I also handled a gremlin pathing problem and some strange things like the dwarves tanning mussel shells to make mussel leather.[/quote] [editline]01:47PM[/editline] Not that important or game-breaking bug fixes today, but it's good to know that purring maggots work properly this time.
Aww, but.. mussel leather! Earlier I had a herbalist get possessed and make a turtle shell mask. Only goblins can wear masks :(
imagine a ww1 battle DF style Would be so awesome and realistic.
[QUOTE=KestasLT;20701795]imagine a ww1 battle DF style Would be so awesome and realistic.[/QUOTE] Urist mcsoldier is shot with some sort of long loud crossbow. He explodes into gore.
[QUOTE=Kylel999;20692964] you know what can we just start acting like the new version is out? just so the people asking will get thrown off because of their own damn laziness [/QUOTE] this is a bad idea, and you should feel bad. that's basically just making it harder for people who arn't lazy and did read the thread, because if they asked anyways without reading the thread. . basically, you're fucking people who read the thread instead of just asking.
[QUOTE=KestasLT;20701795]imagine a ww1 battle DF style Would be so awesome and realistic.[/QUOTE] Yes, building a trench and having all your Dwarves stay in it for months on end would really be awesome.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;20703165]Yes, building a trench and having all your Dwarves stay in it for months on end would really be awesome.[/QUOTE] This sounds familiar
[QUOTE=atomicthumbs;20704039]This sounds familiar[/QUOTE] You have a suggestion? Also, a ww1 esque battle would be possible to mod in DF. All you need to make is really strong crossbows, rename them to rifles, give em' bayontes (stabbing would be the same as with a spear) and make catapults fire explosive rocks... Oh, and don't forget mustard gas!
Fuck for some reason this is horrible.
Sickle has gone stark raving mad.
But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?! I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm spamming the arrows keys in hope that I do something amazing, and then all it gives me is a '~' and text that reads 'Lol u need a farm 4 a farm bro'
