kobold kamp!!! I loved this mod back in the day, I'm so happy to see it on the steam version :D

@Wriath I'm very much interested in seeing your version of the mod! Have you published it anywhere yet?

That's such a relief, hah. Always neat to stumble across another dcss player. Much appreciated!

You're more than welcome to do so!

I see it's been a while since there was any word on this, I've cut together a version with vanilla graphics and a few changes, I'd like to publish it and credit your mod, but I figured I should try to reach out before doing so.

my favourite df steam mod, hope you come back to it eventually <3

could you please allow dwarves to still be playable?

woah, is this mod still alive?

I'll likely just add screw presses back as an option. I had allowed giant corkscrews but I must've forgotten to enable the building.

yeah, it was just moved to the Stonecrafter's workshop, i'm dumb.
can we expect alternatives for miscellanous industries like beekeeping? i'm unable to process honeycombs as kobolds because there is no screw press.

They should be able to, I didn't restrict their access to slabs or carving stone.

is it normal for kobolds to be unable to carve memorial slabs...?

It's been updated to the Steam release for one. The guide has a comprehensive list of things to do and there's a good amount of similarities to previous iterations. It's my own take on Kobold technology. I'm still working on adding features and cleaning it up, but it's in a fully playable state start to finish with different technology and gameplay options from the vanilla game.

so how does this differ from the kobold kamp mod by chaosvolt?

@Tactical Yeti Did you generate a new world before trying that reaction again? Due to the way DF handles reactions and worldgen, you typically need to generate a new world to see any changes with reactions. It's not ideal, but that's how it's been since before the Steam release.

It would appear the bolds are still performing alchemy with various metals and coke. So far ive seen them use bog iron, meteoric iron, tetrahedrite, and conglomerate.

Fixed.

My kobolds were using tetrahydrite instead of lignite to make coke

@cornchev

Thanks! I'm a big fan of primitive technology and the vague period of early human history, so it's been a lot of fun finding cool systems to work into this mod. I'm planning on adding fermented milk and maybe replace the vanilla armors with early scale if I can get sprites made.

adore this mod. the bronze age is one of my favorite periods of history so i really like being able to live it through kobold camp here.

I've added a more rudimentary process for extracting fuel from coal.

Is coke not available to bolds? Don't see that mentioned anywhere. imo wouldn't be too unbalanced or farfetched for them to be able to make,

I was using trainable animals as well, that may have somehow done it.

This mod doesn't touch gremlins whatsoever, which is why I'm surprised. Do you have any other mods that alter vanilla critters?

Very possible, I was heavily tweaking the worldgen. Does this mod alter gremlins in any way?

I just booted up the latest version and genned a world before embarking. I'm not getting any issue like that after a few world generations. If you've updated, you might want to either clear out your old installed mod folder or there may be some incompatibility with currently generated worlds.

They can't be assigned to work, but otherwise pretty normal

I loaded a world with Kobolds, and they have all turned into gremlins. I am now embarking as gremlins.

Fun mod, had my fort last for a couple of years before a bronze colossus decided my fort needed to meet the end of its story.

@^Tanis Nvm, apparently I had another mod that caused battle axes to be unusable for woodcutting. Sorry.

Alright, I've implemented a stopgap for floating clothes sprites while I start to knuckle down and fix certain items one by one!

I'm aware of the graphical oddities, been trying to get them sorted out. There's an alternate upload in the description that uses the default sprites which should have less graphical issues.

i tried this out yesterday and noticed a few graphical oddities. i got invaded by two zombie kobolds, one of which had a very tiny sprite (remnant of an oldDF graphics pack?) and the other had no sprite at all, and was just a floating spear and shield. then when my own kobolds died, their corpses and severed body parts became gray rectangles

I'll also note that the poisonous animal livestock is reliant on the animals of your parent civ. I've managed to get an embark where kobolds can take rattlesnakes with them, but it doesn't seem incredibly commonplace for them to live somewhere with tamed poisonous animals.

They currently have access to domestic animals so they'll have /some/ form of livestock. I'm planning on making them have access to some swamp/cave critters in the future since the old method of getting them poisonous animals isn't as successful currently.

I'm embarked in half tropical swamp, half tropical jungle and I only have the default dwarf livestock. Is it only after you've fully settled?

That's been working fine on my end, both wood and people chopping. Just to check, you've assigned some bolds to woodcutting in the labor menu under 'y'?

For some reason, my kobolds can't seem to woodcut. Can they not use axes?

Kobolds are no longer egg-layers, it causes funky interactions - sounds like a feature..

If they're settled in a biome with creatures flagged as poisonous, they'll be able to start with them tamed.

What about the worldgen decides if you get poison critters? I have yet to be able to embark with them.

Not in any easy way with this mod, no. If you wanted to you could pull the spritesheets included in this mod, rename them and replace your vanilla kobold sprites.

is there a way to just get the cuter kobold sprites?

@TGWeaver, The equipment issues have been resolved (though I would like to get them some custom smaller versions of tools,) and the litters tag's been deprecated so most critters will have more than one kid unless you give them MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE. Thanks for the support!

All according to Griflibrisfriblim.

I can't believe that 14 years later someone is still working on a new version of my old mod. This was the first thing I looked up for the new Steam edition.
Having not played in almost a decade and a half, I assume a lot of the early growing pains of the mod are long-since solved? Not being able to assign bows (only crossbows), not having appropriate sized tools, marking all items that leave the map via kobold caravan as "stolen"?
Do kobolds still have litters?

Seriously, what a blast from the past. Kudos to you and everyone in the interim who have worked so hard to keep this mod alive.

Generally, yes.

Does this improve Kobold survival during world gen?

They still require water, yes. Alcohol's also fine, but not required.

Even just water?
