v0.31:Adventurer mode
 | This article or section may need to be updated due to recent changes. 0.31.06 |
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Placeholder list of relevant changes to/or greatly affect DF2010 adventure mode: (Feel free to merge with old adventure mode information or clean up)
Changes from 40d
Fast-travel, 'Shift + t' or 'T'(shift+t to enter Fast-travel mode, but shift+. to exit), no longer heals all of your wounds instantly, nor can fast-travel be used when bleeding out. Some wounds do heal over time.
Cave systems are accessible to adventurers but you are virtually guaranteed to get lost exploring them. - But if you can return to the general area where you entered the cave, you can fast "T"ravel, even if you can't find the exit. You can navigate. Tested 15 levels below the cave entrance - Need to be confirmed if it works regardless of how many z-levels under the entrance you are.
Material changes are extremely noticeable in adventure mode. Elves with wood are noticeably weaker, throwing/ranged weapons somewhat nerfed, hammer and shield bashing bugged?
As of the current release, adventurers start out more powerful than they had in 40d, with certain builds granting super-----ly tough/strong/agile at start.
"Stuck-in" weapons no longer are endlessly twisted in the wound until the creature bleeds to death or yanked out. There is now a roll to see who controls the stuck-in weapon on the turn following the "stuck-in" attack.
Human towns only have bronze weapons and armor, and large clothing.
Swimming, sneaking, fighting, etc. only seem to improve the associated skills. Abilities (strength, etc.) remain the same even after a long and active period of adventuring.
Combat is much more forgiving. Bolts and arrows are just as deadly as ever but can be blocked. Armor protects you much better versus bolts and arrows - when wearing plate, it's rare for one to get through. Don't assume you're arrow proof, but you can take a bit more punishment now. [Verify]
Bronze Colossuses are nigh-unkillable. Axes do nothing but bounce off, but swords and hammers can shatter body parts. Even with every body part shattered, however, the colossuses live on. However, a thrower can decapitate one with a thrown item. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=56935.0) [Verify]
Adventure Mode Skills
Adventurers can now perform buildingless reactions. To access the reaction menu, press x. Worlds generated before Template:L cannot perform knapping in Adventure Mode, and new worlds must be generated if custom adventurer reactions are added.
Knapping allows an adventurer to sharpen a rock. Knapping does not work with stones in your inventory, only ones on the ground or in your hand.
Stones can only be dropped if the stone type does not naturally exist in the biome you are in, so to use ground stones it is worthwhile to Travel far from the area you got the stones. Otherwise, you can place both stones into your hands. This can be achieved by dropping whatever is held in your left and right hands, then getting small stones from the ground. Next, press x to open the action menu, and press create and then → to select "Make sharp stone". You will be prompted to choose a rock to sharpen ("tool stone"), and then the hammerstone. The tool stone will be replaced in your hand by a sharp version.
Butchering acts similarly to Fortress Mode's Template:L by converting a corpse into edible products, bones, and skin. A corpse must be dropped onto the ground to be butchered, or held in one hand. With a sharp object (such as a dagger or knapped stone) in your hand or on the same tile of the corpse, press x, b, and → to select the corpse, and then the sharp tool. The corpse will be replaced by its butchering returns.
