Editing v0.31 Talk:Stonegears/Package details

=Proposal=

==Raw mods==
# Mod out whips, since they're overpowered. {{Bug|2712}}
# Mod out nails, since they never heal, leading to eventual infection and death. {{Bug|3756}}
# Mod out all non-ocean soils except for plain sand and plain clay, to make it easy to get a single site with both sand and clay.
# Mod out aquifers, to make it easy to find a site without them.
# Mod out badgers, so newbies don't have to deal with them.
# Mod kobolds with NO_EAT so they can survive for more than a few years.

==World gen==
# Small world, to make it quicker to download.  Not a pocket world, so that if a new player wants they can abandon their fortress and have plenty of room for new sites.
# Mineral scarcity turned down (500? 200?), so there'll be sites with all needed minerals.
# All three cavern layers are present.

==Options==
# Start in windowed mode.
# Skip intro movie.
# Turn off temperature and weather to gain FPS.
# Seasonal auto-save, with auto-pause at each season.
# Turn off invasions, let player turn it back on if/when they're ready.

==Graphics set==
Not sure which to use, since I never use them myself.

==Embark skills==
# 5 miner / 5 armorsmith
# 5 miner / 5 weaponsmith
# 5 miner / 1 judge of intent / 2 pacifier / 2 consoler (broker/expedition leader/mayor)
# 5 mason / 5 carpenter
# 5 farmer / 1 each of medical skills
# 5 stone crafter
# 5 axeman / 5 teacher

Thoughts/explanations:

* There's no brewer or cook, since their skill has no effected on the thoughts generated by their products.
* The armorsmith and weaponsmith are there in case the player wants to try building a military.
* The stone crafting is easy to set up and uses excess stone.
* Is a carpenter really needed?  How important are valuable beds and quickly making bins?
* Maybe the stone crafter should also be a mechanic?
* How important is a military dwarf with teaching skills to setting up a military?  Maybe an engraver/herbalist instead?

==Embark supplies==
# One anvil, since there's about a 10% chance the first caravan won't have any anvils.  (Or maybe the player could be told to savescum if the caravan has no anvil)
# A breeding pair of cats, a breeding pair of untrained dogs, no other animals.
# 20 units of each different type of booze.
# 10 units each of three different kinds of meat, and 10 units of plump helmet.
# 10 each of each kind of seed.
# 2 pieces of leather, for making into bags (2 more pieces from butchering wagon animals)
# 2 or 3 copper picks.
# 1 copper battle axe.
# 2 units each of gypsum plaster, thread and cloth, in case of early accidents needing treatment.

Still leaves 121 embark points.

==Site==
# 2x2, to gain FPS.
# Warm biome, where TEMPERATURE:OFF and WEATHER:OFF won't matter as much.
# Flat, heavily forested biome.
# Both sand and clay, so the player can do glass and ceramics.
# At least one metamorphic flux layer containing iron and coal.
# At least one adamantine tube, but no curious structure.
