You should be able to
Nope. I'm going to make sure the compopack we have in 4.03 will be a modlet that you can easily add though. I just dont want it in the base install. Causes too much lag.

Hi, just registered an account to ask a few questions in this thread. I really enjoy the mod, thanks for your efforts.
1. If Compopack is taken out, will there still be a lot of new/different POIs compared to vanilla? I'm new enough to DF that I don't know what's from compopack and what's not. If you don't recommend compopack is there some other collection of POIs in a mod or modlet that people recommend to use with DF?
2. I game on a PC, things work great. But I have a friend with a 2019 macbook pro (nvidia gpu). Searching this thread, there's nothing about mac installs since early 2021. Is anyone running the current version on a mac, and if so, what instructions did you follow so that I can tell my friend? (thanks)
3. What are the most popular mods/modlets to install alongside DF? I see that Sorcery is supported and looks interesting. Anything else people frequently recommend?
4. I have a really fast PC built at the start of this year. intel 12th gen alder lake, gen4 pcie ssd, nvidia 3060, 32gb ddr4. But loading into a DF game takes ages compared to vanilla, or any other game really. It's surprising. medium size DF map. Is that due to compopack, or is there some magical setting I should tweak?

1. Not for 4.04. We're working on our own pack for 4.1 though.
2. Honestly, it's easier if they just bootcamp windows or linux.
3. This is an overhaul. Most mods/modlets aren't going to work.
4. Put it on your nvme drive. It takes ages on both my laptop and desktop too. It's because it needs to decompress the extra models included in the mod, which vanilla DOESNT need to do.

You shouldn't add modlets that add new items. Since crafting is different at overhauls, you might not be able to craft them or at the wrong quality.
But some QoL mods works with DF like Quickstack,Craft from container,pin recipe.
Sorry for google translate.
I read today that you are making a new version of the mod.
Listen to my suggestions, maybe they will help make the mod even better. (although there will be a lot of work
)
Now in fashion, the relationship of items from the level of pumping is broken.
1. Loot at high levels of development does not drop out of the color that I can already craft, so it becomes useless.
2. Zone of radiation contamination, appears too late. You can only go to the radiation zone for fun or find a workbench of the future! Strange as it may seem, but it will be used to make items necessary to defeat the demons in the radiation zone.
At this stage of the game, it is no longer necessary to go to the radiation zone after receiving the workbench.
I propose to increase the radiation zone, at the time of the game, when it is not yet possible to fully make a protective suit, there should be very good loot in the zone.
You can periodically risk your health to run there to get super loot.
At high LVL, this will no longer be relevant.
Radiation is an invisible, inaudible enemy, remove the creepy green filling in the eyes, so that nothing is visible, let there be a slight light, but that would not interfere with the game.
Everything inside the radioactive zone should have a bonus 2-3 times higher - loot, crops, (however strange it is, in fact).
In the first versions of your mod it was much more interesting.
It was necessary in small shelters to farm keys and red cards.
I used to run in a half suit of protection to this area in order to knock out energy armor from monsters. Was in this area to raid, now not.
In the same place it would be possible to make weapons against demons on the machine.
Sorry, but the presence of upgrader mods for any armor, radiation protection, killed all the point in this zone. This is equivalent to a radiation switch in the game, put everything on and it became an ordinary area.
I have already described new progress, developments in one of the topics, please search. I only apologize for Google translator.
What I dream about, from what you don't have at all!
In one of the ancient mods of another author, it was like this - You live in a forest biome and after a few days everything is covered with snow and the temperature drops terribly, and after a couple of days it's summer again. It was very beautiful and realistic!
Thank you for your attention

Get higher level.
Special when you come to craft items from the laser-workbench, you craft boni from the class don't count.
And even you can craft 70 quality, you still need other items to repair them, since when you would repair them with the repairkit they would degrade.
Looks like you don't progress into the storyline.
Even when you can find a laser-workbench very rare at Jens secret stash, your pimary goal is to craft a laser-worklbench at the research lab, which is located at the wasteland.
Craft anti-rad pills and use them before you enter the wasteland. Or use a hazmat suit or hazmat mods.

Honestly, feel free to ignore that person. They come on here and complain a lot about how much the mod has changed and how it's not as good as it used to be...
When, in actual fact, it really hasn't. There's been some tweaks based on user feedback, but it's largely the same. And they refuse to accept that.
And no one comes here to whine!
There is a logical sequence of the game, but here it is broken, since all the actions in the radioactive zone are an artificial tightening of the gameplay!
You are offered food for thought!
If you build a step-by-step diagram with branches and dependencies, then you yourself will see everything!
Excuse us dumb-headed idiots and moron for having dared to mess with your forum!!
My time is very valuable to spend on you!

You do realise that radiation you're complaining about has been a core component of Darkness Falls since Alpha 16?
Right?
You understand that?
Because if you do, then you will understand my comment.
Just accept this mod is not for you and move along.
1) No it's not. Repairing causes quality loss. Combining 2 of the same item does NOT cause quality loss. Therefore lower level loot is still useful to repair your items without losing quality levels.
2) DF has always been like that. Your comments on radiation will therefore be ignored unless you're volunteering to write a C# patch so I can apply it randomly to biomes and POI's?
No, crops are not getting a bonus to being grown in the wasteland/radiation.
Wasteland/radiation already has a loot bonus just from being within the biome (along with a gamestage increase as well).
You still need to farm keys. Why you think you don't, I have no clue.
And this is why I told the other user to ignore your comments.
You claim things have changed since earlier versions. They haven't.
Now go away.
Oh, and the weather stuff?
That was Starvation mod. I'm not morte. I'm not a god tier coder.

hey, thanks. looking forward to 4.1. regarding #2/#3, if any other users have comments regarding installation of DF on macs or modlets, I'm all ears. re: #4, yeah, it's on my gen4 nvme drive already (only drive in system). it was just unusually slow enough that I thought I'd mention it. I suspect 4.1 will be better -- we'll find out soon enough.

Hello all...new here and absolutely adore this mod and all the work.-thank you.
I have run into an issue when using the Big Forge and trying to make any item:
1642.049 EXC NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it.

It is all about the water, check if there are still water there.
I tried the underground water things self once, but i wasn't satisfied with it, so i switched back to 2 rows plot with 1 row water left and right.
Once you got irrigation you can place the pipes below the plots and it is working well.

I'd need a log file, but make sure you aren't using any other mods. Big Forge seems to be working fine for me.
You want a smaller area and more rain catchers. I recommend 5x5.
Also scarecrows help.

Well I'd remove all the UI crap like SMX and ZMX for a start.
In fact, I'd delete that ENTIRE folder and just run DF.
This is an overhaul. It's not meant for you to yeet mods at. That's why you're getting NRE's.
AKA - Not my problem. Delete all your crap. Reinstall just DF.
