Not compatible with the 51.13 update yet, you'll have to rollback to use the guns in the mod, crossobows should still work. That happens when old ranged RAW's without loading/knocking is applied to the new system.

From the discord, the progress on reworking the ratling gun is going well, it now has horrible accuracy even to high skill proficiency, but spews out bullets really fast.

my dwarves are not shooting their guns even though i have made steel bullets what i do?
also sometimes they are using different ammo for different guns

trying another world. Still getting Ogre caravans every season (except winter). Only ogres do this. Is there some way to make it just once a year?

Out of curiosity, is there an ETA on when the next update is? And what might some of the additional things be?

Thank you, great to hear. ^^

First, I am working on the next update. It'll be out soon. Second, there's a readme explaining the tree spirit graphics in the same folder.

Regardless my curiosity below, this mod is a masterpiece from what I can tell. Thank you!

Also, out of curiosity is the file graphics_creatures_tree_spirit_layered intentionally in the main mod directory rather than the graphics folder?

Is there a need to update the guns and thrown weapons in this mod to properly use the changes to ranged weapons in the most recent DF patch?

is there a reason the default portrait gallery is included? seems like it would be a compatibility problem for no reason if not

Great mod my friend

Yet another new update is out now. 4.5 new civs have been added, Skaven are playable, Cannons are able to be used as Siege Engines now, you can make your own Steam Tanks and new Gyrocopters, and more.

Manglers are really, really, really big.

whats the difference between mangler and cave squig?

@[H.M] Hellfire Yea, I let him know about that a while ago along with some other weird stuff with Nurgle based stuff a month (maybe a few months) ago cause anything Nurgle is essentially fortress ending from what I've found out. It also turns just about anything into a plague bearer eventually, specially cats/self-cleaning creatures, and for some reason traders.

Very strange. Will be fixed next update.

found a weird interaction: great unclean ones (and likelly any other spawn ability using the same logic) just lead to a swarm suicide

i embarked into a montain with a unclean one living in it, not a big deal he was far from my forth, however he spawned a nurgling. for some reason the nurgling are spawning as counting as "tame" creatures under the juristiction of my faction. this leads them to fight the great unclean one leading to more being spawned

this loops around until evbentually i have a great unclean one spawning an endless army just to send them to fight itself

Long rifles are exclusive to Humans. Probably should've mentioned that somewhere.

If its patching straight over the mountain civ, its probably incompatible with the changes.

Orcs have great-axes, as do humans i think so try trading with them.

Link to discord doesn't actually take me anywhere, and I'd love to join it.

On the other hand, long guns don't show up in my list for the metalsmith's forge. Am I looking in the wrong place? I'm also using a mod that doesn't add any weapons, but changes weapons so that dwarfs can wield say, a great axe (ain't no slayer ever used a shield) and lets dwarfs craft those weapons as well. i might regen a new world without that mod and see if the long guns show up.

lol, I've not noticed that. It's probably that the megabeasts try to settle in the caves the Skaven like or visa versa, which causes fights.

i've noticed skeven seen to be the biggest menace in the word for some reason, they love to just straight up wipe out all megabeasts for some reason

New update is out! Humans are playable, magic is more obtainable, and new threats abound!

ah okay, maybe its beause i have the wanderer mod on i can make warpstone chunks out of warpstone weapons already generated in the game and then made warpstone weapons out of those said chunks that i asked

Warpstone isn't usable to create weapons atm. That'll likely be something I make when I get around to making Skaven playable. It is edible, and has some !!FUN!! effects when eaten. It's also a gem, so you can make windows out of it and decorate items with it, though that currently has no effect. The Skaven are going to be the target of the major update after the next, so look forward to that.

thank you very much. Warptone snack?? does that mean itsreally weak?

Ithilmar is equivalent to steel in material characteristics, but much lighter. Gromril is equivalent to adamantine, but is extremely dense and dragonfire proof (no guarantees that the wearer is, though). Warpstone is a tasty snack, you should eat it.

hi are there stats for warpstone/ ithilmar / gromril? how good are these for weapons/armor?

Just set up a Discord server, come and join! https://discord.gg/94fhfT4qDx

Likely due to caravans. I’ll see if I can diagnose the issue further.

I'm playing as the Ogres. I don't think I have any other mods enabled. I haven't had any civs invade yet. Shortly after my world enters the spring of 201 (I think my playthrough began in 199), the game crashes. I suspect it's due to an error with an invading force, but don't know for sure.

Thanks for the help.

First can you describe the circumstances of the crash and what other mods you had enabled? I’ll probably be able to help you with just that.

My game is crashing. How can I submit the crash log to you?

That's likely it. I imagine we both patch the Dwarf civ in the same way, which causes some issues.

I disabled another mod "Vanilla weapons overhaul" and it seems to have been the key

I'm using mods for underground farming all year and mineral powders

Are you using any other mods? I've been trying to diagnose this issue for a while.

How come not all dwarven civilisations get access to handguns and runes? I can make the ammunition, but not the guns

That's exactly the kind of story that I love hearing about. Yes, you can learn more than one lore, you just have to find multiple different lore slabs. They tend to get passed around a good deal, if you follow the slabs in legends mode you'll be able to find more wizards who read it, and find where it ended up, usually a library somewhere. If you travel there in adventurer mode you can read it and become a wizard. Repeat until you're a loremaster!

Can one lucky bastard be able to learn more than one lore? I've seen it happening while reading on legends mode. It was quite fun to see a Kobold being taught 3 lores, but it went "insane" and took herself as disciple to teach the same 3 lores, after some years trying it died of old age but his necromancer friends brought the kobold back to life and now she is living as fearsome criminal boss that have been corrupting people to steal artifacts.

@Vanargand I can adjust that. I hadn’t tried guns in adventure yet, I imagine my DFHack script that adjusts their fire rate is probably the culprit.

@Fantastic Fwoosh I tried implementing the lore of fire using a similar method when I was doing the lores of magic, didn't get much success. The creature almost always caught fire and died after one or two uses.

That's a pretty normal non mod complaint (nothing to do with size/type, its crossbows, pistols, blowguns all), shooting in adventuremode takes up a action slower and individually than fortress mode. Switching to your party member with TAB ought to speed it up since the AI can do the inputs faster.

Firing a gun seems absurdly slow in adventure mode, to the tune of I fire once and I get hit 20+ times before I get my next turn. Is it supposed to be like this?

Might be a little more rough, if i remember correct back in the 'old days' it used to just grant the dragonbreath to whoever was holding it via DFhack. Magic items have that sort of functionality but they're restricted to dungeons.

Depends on if I can get them working! I forgot they were in Fantasy tbh

What are the chances of the Dwarves getting access to flamethrowers?

Soon ;)

Any idea as to when the humans might be playable?

Vanilla DF bug, can’t fix it. Sorry.
