I tend to agree(especially on the clothing), except that the recharge on this stuff is crazy easy. The only other thing that compares is UPS-powered laser weapons and possibly pneumatic survivor weapons.
Ok. Cleared my first āCurious Structureā with the help of my Jabberwocksā¦ 
By the way, I have found a little issue; look at this:
"name": "glyph of the looking-glass",
"name_plural": "glyphs of the golem",
This glyph change his nameā¦ 
Is it a bug or a feature?!
Most likely a small mistake. He copy-pasted parts of the glyphs.
Thing is, the Creator of this mod isnāt on this forum anymore. Or, he doesnāt visit anymore, due to a conflict with Kevin.
Your best bet is to go to the githhub page and tell the modders over there about the problem, this mod here is merged already, so they can fix those mistakes when necessary. Donāt count on it though, they have bigger fish to fry.
Who runs this now?
we briefly talked, and I had in mind making a large cemetery for the purposes of something here, but then RD left.
I dont suppose anyone here has or is willing to have an idea?
It seems this thread is pointless now, all changes must be proposed and made in github in the mainline version.

until somebody drags RD or picks up the mantle

That too, but it seems not many are willing to maintain the version in the thread when fixes could be made to the mainlined one.
I looked through this mod (which is a great one, I think, and Iāve been using it for a while), and I didnāt find an item that would do this, so I thought Iād ask - is there an item that would MAP like an artifact? There are several artifact effects being used (costing essence), and one that mapped for even a fairly large essence cost would be REALLY nice.
If there isnāt, Iād be happy to make oneā¦ if someone could tell me what tag to use. The artifact functions donāt seem to be documented anywhere.
Edit: OK, THAT was easy - copied Arcana, modified the Gilded Aegis, took away āAEA_HEALā and added āAEA_MAPā, and BAM, it works fine. Not balanced at all, Iād say, but thatās the tag thatās needed.
So you guys are receiving ideas or you all are adding stuff already?
Lol. Euh, the ideas have been added, and the developer of the mod has already left.
we need somebody willing to learn/plan/add to this.
i dont use it,but as a modder i think it is a shame to see a large mod with its own large niche stagnant until it becomes obsoleted
i have a large cemetery im trying to push on git. who willmake a catacombs beneath it?
I totally agree that somebody should pick it up. But atm, I already have more than enough things I want to do, and stuff I want to maintain on CDDA. So yeah somebody please halp!
Hey, whatās the current situation with this mod?
I was using it back when I think the only magic items were things like the hellfire staff and the electric gauntlets.
The Wraithslayer and some of the other stuff sounds tempting.
But Iām using a pretty old version of the game right nowā¦ I think it was the version just after someone created the new turret frames.
Can I safely update? And is the only way to update the arcana stuff to update the entire game?
Be pretty cool to have infected survivors use magic potions in fights.
He didnāt leave, he was banned from development. Kevin threw him out. It is not that Random Dragon is unwilling to work on his mods. The fact is, he isnāt allowed to work on his mods anymore.

The end effect is the same. But yeah, I wasnāt here at that time. So my story is wrong. But lets not drag it back up allright?
I do miss the zany dragon.
he was taken off the administrative team; those who can merge PRs.
his status as mod handler/developer was never taken from him
rd is on the df forums, go say hi
And quite belatedly, Iāll poke my head on here to response. Honestly, I would be fine if others took care of my mods and the tileset. I donāt play the game anymore, I donāt poke my head on here often at all.
Did the update to learning recipes and gaining skills from books affect arcana any? Keep in mind it was expected youād read the books to gain skill, because bloody fuck it would be impractical grinding through crafting.
Nice to hear from you, RD.
Iāve stopped updating until they get the ridiculous nutrition/vitamins thing worked out, and also, at least for a time, they had broken some of the vehicles mods stuff, so I wouldnāt be the best to take this over (plus, I seldom have the time anymore), but I did add something to my copy of the mod:
The Orb of Insight - it takes 13 essence to map the area. It also inflicts triple pain and gives paralysis and āattentionā. You can also wield it for +4 int/+4 per, but that gives attention and madness (thinking Iāll add the evil disease to that as well, and maybe bump the madness to simply carrying it).
Making it is pretty difficult, but I added it to the loot charts as a rare thing, so you can often get one from clearing one of the special locations.
I mostly use it for mapping the first underground level to map the sewers/subways and know where the basements area.
