Message from the Management

When you finish a new game, demo, engine, or utility, the first thing to do is submit it to the archive for approval. (Log in first, then Upload a New Game from the sidebar.) Then feel free to post about it in this forum; in fact, please continue to do this. This is so people will actually know about your game and play it. As nice as it is to have archive uploads automated, it's not going to help much if no one knows you have a new game to play.

When uploading your games to the archive, please zip up your game using the .ZIP format, even if it is just a .MZX file. As for less popular formats (such as RAR and 7Z), games uploaded in these formats will be rejected. This is because as wonderful as those compression algorithms might be, ZIP is a near universal compression standard, and the only one that will work with the in-game archive browser planned for MZX.

You can also attach your game to a new thread in this forum. In this case, you can use whatever compression format you find suitable. NOTE: Games posted this way won't be put into the archive unless submitted to the archive proper, or unless the author states he/she wants the game in.

Lastly, we suggest you post a suitable screenshot of your submission (in PNG format) along with the game.

You have an unlimited point of time, but note that it's there are many threats you will find. (Except not in demo •¶Žš‰»‚¯ ru , my apologies)

Posted Image

Make items from others, hit cow, build a wall, dig a hole, get shrubbing, find cool rocks, there is more to do!

Posted Image

Have fun crafting items in cool game world !

------
I would like to request this from everyone who plays this:
If you are disappointed by the lack of a crafting result TELL ME ABOUT IT. Like if you totally expected A + B to make C, then well it probably SHOULD and I should put it in, so tell me!

Until it gets in the vault, it's attached below.

Edit: Here, have some spoilers. Here's what the herbs do.

Not necessarily! 2010 is the Year of MegaZeux!

I'm enjoying this.

Tried stone+iron+fire herb thing, I think, and no steel. But that's just based on probably faulty DF associations that might not flow into your world.

<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.

No, no, I'll add that. Stone is fine, it's technically carbon anyway. The actual formula is iron + coal * fire herb (in that order).

When you craft a correct recipe that is out of place, the game will randomly swap two ingredients, attempt to craft again, do that a few times, and then destroy an ingredient, and repeat until they are all destroyed or you succeed.
Need a dispenser here.

Ah. The other thing I tried to refine iron I think was using the herb for improving inorganic materials. (I think the combo was just that herb and the iron?) Don't shoot me if iron's organic/crabon-based, I haven't had a proper bio or chem class since high school. :confused:

Iron is Iron.

EDIT: To clarify, its its own element. An organic compound is by definition more than one element, one of which must be Carbon.

The herb for improving inorganic materials should at the least result in purer iron though (since something you mine out of the ground would be not pure Iron but an Ore), if not an alloy of iron and carbon which is what steel is.
