[0.42.x] My Little Fortress 4.0: Endless Nights · 6:32pm Jan 4th, 2016
The new name and version is due to me being inspired to change a great many things.
So:
-Endless night! Meaning that all the trees have died, and have been replaced by giant mushrooms. I've made about 20 so far.
-Appropriate revamping of the wood processing industry. Regular wood is now gone; there's only one sawmill workshop that's used for fungal wood and taintwood. Taintwood is obtained only from creatures like timberwolves. I'll make more of these.
-Taintwood can be converted into tougher materials at the Ironbark workshop, and then used to make lots of things including weapons and armor.
-The hi-tech industry has been revisited as well. The minerals I've used previously, neltharite and malygite, are deprecated, and so are all the gems that were prospected from them. In their place, adra is used. It can be found growing out of the ground as "trees", as well as in the ground as veins. Some veins are contaminated, and have to be processed at the Toxin Refinery (ex-Taint Refinery). Afterwards, adra gems are used to make arcane components at the Arda Engineer workshop (ex-Advanced Crystal Forge) and to create harmonic diamonds at the Adra Reaction Chamber.
