Update to the Dwarf Fortress mods...

Thanks to the wonderful Kat, I feel like playing Dwarf Fortress again and I noticed that version 47.x has released. Because of this, well, all of my mods needed to be updated. I’ve gone through and updated them all, along with finally creating a post for “clay dirt” which I’ll absolutely admit is a bit on the cheating side.

I also edited my hugo theme a bit to provide better support for my mods, in both giving them a better summary view and giving me a way to link bitbucket repositories instead of direct downloads only. See, look at me, making it up to my poor neglected website. Two whole posts in one day.

sept 2017 starbound updates

Sun, 10 Sep 2017 21:06:13 -0700

Whew, been rather quiet this year! We moved to a new house, had some job shuffles, gotten engaged, and so on and so forth–that’s made things rather hectic and blogging isn’t exactly something I’m in a regular habit of doing. Anyway, moving on to the actual interesting thing–Starbound!

Starbound has had a lot of changes with 1.3.2, and as such, we’re finally getting back into playing. I’ve updated Printable Storage to v2 because of that, and also added a new mod–Cleanbound! Cleanbound isn’t everything we want in a mod, so we’ll be coming out with Eww! (I’ll write it up when we do!) later, but it’s a quick mod to remove biomes like flesh and bone from Garden planets. Basically, we want them to be reasonable worlds to settle instead of just Barren worlds, since Frackin’ Universe does way too much to justify installing.

Dwarf Fortress is, hands down, one of my favorite games of all time. For all of its various faults about its interface, difficulty, and learning curve I still wind up spending a substantial part of each year playing the game to enjoy what has been added since my last attempt–usually resulting in a hilarious loss of a fortress or two, such as my most recent learning experience that goblins can now climb walls.
