Fuck Yeah, Dwarf Fortress!

Going to make my donations page a pinned post. If you'd like to support the blog, or simply feel charitable, I have a PayPal and Ko-Fi you can donate to here.

The reason for this is that my pay was recently cut by my company, and I am struggling to save up for my next course of estrogen (roughly $450 AUD/y). You can see where the issue lies.

For donations, I will be adding in a page on the blog for donating members, just so as to not flood the blog with thank-you messages.

I appreciate all you do for me here on tumblr, and as a community, I am humbled every time even a single cent is passed my way.

While I have money to replace it and repair it, I am struggling somewhat financially, and need a little help.

Only give what you can - I have requested my company pay me earlier this month (the earliest is on the 10th of July) - I'm hoping to recoup the initial replacement fee of $400AUD.

You can find links to donate in this post, or in the pinned post.

Good news! The Dinosaur Update is coming out June 25th!

I suppose we'll be in the Fields of Flowers and the Jurassic Parks soon - personally, I can't wait to raise up tyrannosauruses and have an army of killer dinosaurs. I'll just have to make sure one buddies up with a Human Swordsman and Goatman Wizard.

The best way to purify water is to ensure your cistern is at least 2 z-levels deep.

Mud and other sediment falls naturally to the second layer, meaning the top-layer is always "clean" for the purposes of drinking and/or medical use.

From what I can understand of the context, the modifier won't be applied to dinosaurs as a "Giant Velociraptor" is "about the size we think Velociraptors are", and they aim to be educational with creatures and their habits. Since we're dealing with some speculative biology (as we can't really infer how dinosaurs work), adding in creature Giantism wouldn't do anything for gameplay.

From the recent Future of the Fortress, *GIANT* dinosaurs aren't coming into DF as we always think dinosaurs are much bigger than they actually are (paraphrasing Toady), so the *GIANT* modifier doesn't do much.
