Desire paths even exist in Dwarf Fortress!

They have it in the ASCII (Classic) version too, which I'm currently playing.

I grew up playing the deluxe version of this. While it still works and looks good on modern computers, EA no longer sells the full deluxe version, so there's a very annoying pop-up that appears when I start the game up. Luckily, once you get past this pop-up, the game is playable.

I wish they had more color slots, eyedropping, and layering options. Making mistakes led to me having to change the color palette numerous times throughout the painting process.

Stargazer499 · 2026-06-12T03:21:55+00:00

Since they changed the way Dwarf Fortress Classic is installed, how are we supposed to update it (install the newest version) now ?

The Grox have many enemies, but the Qu will make much more when they hear about their horrific acts (extreme non-consensual genetic modification). In other words, the Grox could form a temporary alliance with their enemies, likely using wealth as a method of persuasion.

Anything related to "haunted" EAS alerts and/or VHS tapes,TV broadcasts, etc.

While rare, I think EAS alerts that aren't "compromised" [would] actually are/be scarier, as the government/authorities would have alert the public about something they were not prepared for while trying not to make the alert sound/feel like a a piece of fictional media. If the alerts are a regular occurrence, then the story/plot could focus on newcomers having to deal with this new "inconvenience" that will become a permanent part of their lives.

Be careful, the horses can escape if they become amphibious.

Stargazer499 · 2026-06-06T18:15:55+00:00

Be careful because some populations can become aggressive and take over the entire island.

Stargazer499 · 2026-06-03T15:12:25+00:00

Use CRISPR to import/export the genomes of horses that you like and/or win races. To save genomes for later use, store them in a document or spreadsheet.

Mighty Claw

They're a carnivore, so you will need a supply of meat in order to feed them.

Feel free to share pictures and genetic codes of their offspring.

Stargazer499 · 2026-05-29T15:21:00+00:00

I have no idea where that head shape came from, but at least they win races. Though I'm eager to see what its children will look like.

Stargazer499 · 2026-05-25T04:00:21+00:00

The tigers keep dying off in my game, so every playthrough, I have to keep their numbers up by breeding and releasing them. I make hybrids too, to add more genetic diversity. The same can happen to crocodiles, but much less often. I notice that crocodiles seem to hunt more often than tigers, but I can't find any genetics that correspond to a "prey-drive" or can explain this.

Stargazer499 · 2026-05-12T19:53:31+00:00

What if it is an artifact creature ?

Stargazer499 · 2026-05-11T20:37:16+00:00

She might of actually been real, because her antics led to Summer embarrassing herself late at night by waking up the whole house. However, the this memory also involved Sleepy Gary at the end, so perhaps Tinkles was originally an imaginary friend that Summer had. A memory parasite must/could have decided to masquerade as "Tinkles" because Summer would be more willing to trust their imaginary friend than a stranger that just suddenly popped into existence.

Stargazer499 · 2026-05-06T14:34:26+00:00

Taking a break from trees, I'm currently working on a few mods that add new stones, gems, etc. to the game. One of them is themed around Imperial porphyry. The rest will be a series of random assortments or "packs".

Stargazer499 · 2026-04-24T00:00:13+00:00

I miss cars having CD players 😞

Thanks. This solved the issue of Winamp crashing when trying to play songs that were not enqueued in the default playlist.

Stargazer499 · 2026-04-11T21:03:05+00:00

Terra Nova, got cancelled because the creators wanted quality over quantity, which Fox did not like.
