So I am porting Dwarf Fortress into a mod for minecraft. It is an incredibly difficult task I only have so many hours in the day. Taking care of my family, working, gym, etc. The usual. So please excuse the fuck out of me if I used AI to help me write a post based on my changelog to provide an update on the progress of the mod then this guy out of nowhere posts AI slop. A post which I edited around removed or added parts which I thought were irrelevant or did not sound like something I would say. Post gets deleted. Its like I am not allowed to have a life.

The mod itself is complex enough. Ontop of this the GameDev community when I openly said I hooked up Claude Code to Ghidra so I can understand how Dwarf Fortress functions under the hood said oh you are just stealing their code. The people who said this I know for a fact have never had to deal with pseudo C code. There are no no headings nothing you just have to figure it out how it works.

FUN_00a957a0(historical_figure* author, …)      // book-composition function
  ├─ 0xa95d1a  ref->generateTitle(wc->type /*+0x68*/, &wc->title /*+0x08*/)   // vtable +0x90
  └─ 0xa9739d  (no ref) FUN_01edbb20(&wc->title, wc->type, "[NOUN]", "[NOUN]")
       ↓
  <any general_ref>::generateTitle  →  builds `name` + `no_art` then, as its universal tail:
       FUN_01ed7c60(&no_art);                       // strip leading "the "/"The "
       FUN_01edbb20(out, form, &name, &no_art);
       ↓
  FUN_01edbb20(string* out, written_content_type form, string* name, string* no_art)
       ├─ form → TEXT_SET:  bit&0x3ef8407 → BOOK_INSTRUCTION ; bit&0x1079f8 → BOOK_ART
       │                    form >= 26 or in neither mask → no template ; form == 9 → empty title
       ├─ FUN_02033260(&DAT_0281dec0, setIdx, out)   // pick a UNIFORMLY RANDOM line from the set
       └─ FUN_01ed9ad0(out, name, no_art)            // token substitution, in place

This is how pseudo code looks so please excuse the fuck out of me again for trying to make it easier on myself to have claude code find the answers to my questions on how different mechanics work. Then there is the whole adapting these mechanics that will work in minecraft so you need to diverge from the thing you are studying in my case that it is Dwarf Fortress.

It is like these people think it is a sin to do anything in a more smarter more efficient way.

Anyway apologies for the rambling. I am tired.

Births are now part of the simulation.

People

Marriage is a two phase process. A proposal, then a recheck up to a year later, because a year is long enough for either party's situation to change. Children come out of an actual gene mixer, traits blended or recessive depending on the trait.

Now for the census. 7,600 children across a 300 year world. And the second generation is 230 people. The reason (after a lot of investigating) 84% of settlements are founded by exactly one couple. Their children are all full siblings, and the kin filter refuses every match the site can offer. A settlement founded by one couple cannot have a third generation at any run length, at any proposal rate.

Civilizations

Every world now founds its civilizations at year 1. A template, a name in their own tongue, a seat, a territory claim, a king. And then they all die because succession is not built yet.

Dwarves, elves and goblins exist as real entities in game.

Dwarf

Goblin

Elf

Named Things

Artifacts are now in i.e., named objects with claims and whereabouts. One 300 year world produced 235,274 named objects. Objects can now be moved as NPCs carry them. The world keeps a belief map of where everything was last seen, and it's right about 99.7% of everything on day one with a median staleness of 71 years, so a book telling you where the hoard is describes a map that is usually old.

Naming got deeper as well. Adjectives slot into names behind an ordering rule, so the generator produces things like Ironoath the Shadowy Iron Gem Anvil of Mountains.

Where it is at?

Still not playable. The simulation is bigger now and more refined.

Solo project, still. Happy to answer anything.

Answers to some Previous Questions from the Previous Post

>Awesome project! By wrong books you mean they are incomplete as no error id ever injected, just information is missing ? Or did I miss something? It would be awesome if earsay was not exact, that people might miss remember names, dates or place slightly to increase this effect as happens in the real world.

It means that information goes stale so something might have been true say a 100 years ago but that information is out of date till someone updates it.

I've been building a Minecraft mod that runs a Dwarf Fortress style world simulation underneath the game procedural history, civilizations, named people, books they wrote. First time I've posted about it, so this is mostly an introduction to what it is and where it's actually got to.

The problem I started from is that Minecraft generates terrain beautifully but does not generate history. A village turns up fully formed, with no founding and no lineage. The mod fills in the centuries before you arrive. Founding a small world takes about eight seconds and gives you 130 settlements, three civilizations, 2,600 named people, 1,295 written works, and 1,126 records of one scribe copying another's book. Bigger dials give 614 regions over 300 years. The generated area is bounded, with ordinary Minecraft wilderness past its edge, which turns out to be useful, a book that says someone travelled beyond the known lands is describing something that actually happened.

The books are the part worth talking about.

Everyone in the world carries a pool of what they personally know, what they saw, what they read, what someone told them. A book gets written from its author's pool, and the renderer physically cannot reach the event log.

So books come out wrong sometimes. Someone working off forty year old hearsay writes a stale account. Someone who knows a battle happened but not who won he writes a different sentence, the way people actually talk around something they don't know. Then a scribe copies it faithfully and the mistake spreads to three more libraries. There's no error injection anywhere in the code. It's just what you get when the narrator isn't omniscient.

Titles come from noun tables per subject type. A fortress with a name gets called the Fortress about two thirds of the time, on purpose, so a bookshelf isn't a wall of proper nouns.

Two other things I'd mention. Nothing anywhere stores text a person's name is a tuple of word IDs, so a world founded in English reads in any other language you load. And personality, lifespan, sex and orientation are all derived from a figure's identity rather than written down, which is what lets the world hold thousands of people at about 55 bytes each on disk.

Where it's at. Currently still all of it simulation so far

• The substrate is IDs, seeds, three generation tiers, eviction, population pools
• Ethics and values, per civilization, per culture and per person, which can contradict each other
• The annual cycle a fourteen stage machine that advances one simulated year, running at two scopes
• Literature, complete knowledge flags, knowledge pools, claims and retractions, an unlosable journal, narration, title generation, 26 content forms, scribes, libraries
• Marriage, relationships, and death as a deadline decided at birth rather than a yearly dice roll

So currently nothing is playable. There's no player bound to the simulation, so none of the above can be touched in a running game. Births aren't implemented, people are still only born at world founding, which is a problem I'm in the middle of.

Solo project. Happy to answer anything.

So I bought a book called Governance by Kjaer on ebooks.com for $28 I have the receipt so the mods dont remove the post.

I want to remove the DRM because Thorium is bullshit and I own the thing. I downloaded the lcpl. Opened in THorium exported the epub and then got the necessary plugins even edited the underlying python script for DeDRM because it was taken down but nothing is working I am stumped. If anyone can help me it really would be helpful

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my story and the exact framework I used to drop 50 lbs in two months, because I think a lot of people overcomplicate this process. In my 20s, I struggled heavily with my weight and was consistently overweight. The turning point for me was when I stopped blaming external factors and legitimately held myself accountable.

Once I took ownership, the execution became incredibly simple. Here is exactly what I did and the lessons I learned.

I gave ChatGPT my weight, age, height, a target goal, and my activity level (which was completely sedentary at the time). It calculated my TDEE and handed me a daily target of 1,500 calories.

I had it construct a strict meal plan. Then, to keep things clean, I took that plan into a separate thread and had it generate the exact recipes for those meals so I could prepare them myself.

Dieting continuously can wear you down mentally and physically. To combat this, I used a structured cycle:

• 2 weeks on a strict deficit (1,500 calories).
• 3 days off where the goal was purely weight maintenance.
• I bumped my intake up to 2,000–2,500 calories during these three days.

Do not call them cheat days. Words matter. Calling it a maintenance break keeps you in control; calling it a cheat day implies you're breaking a rule and invites a binge.

A huge tip that kept me from plateauing: I reduced my daily intake by about 50 - 100 calories for every 5 KG (10 lbs) I lost.

Here is the coolest part: I did not start by going to the gym. In the beginning, I was sedentary. But after dropping the first 20 pounds, It just became physically easier to move around. I started going to the gym naturally, without needing to hype myself up, watch motivational videos, or force it.

If you take anything away from this post, let it be these three things:

• 95% of fad diets are bullshit. You do not need Keto, Paleo, Carnivore, or intermittent fasting. You need portion control and calorie tracking.
• Weight loss is 80-90% diet. Exercise is great for cardiovascular health, mental clarity, and toning, but the primary lever for dropping weight is what you put in your mouth. If you get your diet under control, you have done the vast majority of the work.
• Brutal self-accountability is the foundation. Above all else, if you do not learn to be completely honest with yourself about what you are eating and doing, no amount of motivation, personal training, or Ozempic will save you long-term.

Hope this helps someone out there who is stuck where I used to be. Happy to answer any questions about the setup!
