I had an idea for a broiler room. Floor made of steel grates, two reservoirs of magma and water directly beneath separated by a magma-safe floodgate. When the invaders step on the pressure plate, the doors seal and the floodgate opens. :supaburn:

Magma mist is what you should be looking for.

Nope, there's an unblocked entrance to the fort. But now caravans have started bypassing it too, for no explicable reason (there's an open three-tile-wide path straight into the fort from multiple edges but the Depot Accessibility view green line just stops 2/3 of the way down). I don't know wtf is going on with the pathing in this fort.

The caravans are avoiding that path probably because there's a tree growing in the way. If it's not that, it might be an impassible object - something someone dropped?

Yeah trees can often grow on your depot path without you noticing. That's why at some point I'll make a paved road leading to the depot. It keeps anything from blocking it, plus it just looks nice.

Fun fact; despite being made out of flesh, livestock can graze on the evil flora just fine. So even in a blighted land covered in blinking eyes and squirming vein roots, Old McUrist can still run his farm. Provided of course a horrible mist doesn't rise out of the ground and corrupt everything.

I seem to be running into a consistent bug in Masterwork. Twice now I've had failed moods despite my warlocks getting what they need and begin working. I'll Q over the building and it'll be "Mr Warlock works furiously", yet when I T it there is no actual ingredients in the workshop.

Also good thing you can kill things with DF hack, or else you'd never get rid of failed mood skeletons.

Without editting the raws? No. I'm gonna guess that the ghouls are designed to have permanently rotten skin, so when they end up in the hospital the doctor decides to remove it all. That can actually happen in vanilla DF if a dwarf has an unfortunate run in with a forgotten beast with miasma breath. If they contract a syndrome that causes their skin to permanently rot, dwarf doctors will "solve" the issue by carefully peeling off every inch of skin on their body.

It'd be great if you could build smoking lounges which cause dwarves to be more likely to develop a mood. Even better if it includes fell moods so occasionally someone goes for a smoke and instead gets turned into a bone earing.

Its drat annoying, its almost like designating a hospital activates their tissue rotting too. They can be fine before, then as soon as I make a hospital half my ghouls rest and have rotten skin. I'm considering just killing off all the ghouls and not bothering, just beeline to the thing that makes it so you can't lose control of skeletons and just have a skeleton and warlock fortress.

Also I figured out the problem with my moods, it seems my craftsman shop is cursed and anything that enters it immediately decays. I had a ghoul stuck in a loop getting bones, dropping them off, getting more bones, comes back to see that the bones he had earlier rotted away, repeat. Or when someone starts working and the item will rot and they're stuck making the item till they go insane.

loving rot man.

If you don't have any items of a particular type in-stock at the moment, then it's automatically removed from the Kitchen menu (for the sake of brevity).
  1. Pause the game.
  2. Using z>Stocks or the k menu, select a seed.
  3. Enter the following command:
    pre:
    changeitem m PLANT:GRASS_REED_ROPE:SEED
  4. Move the cursor to a plant. Enter the command:
    pre:
    changeitem m PLANT:GRASS_REED_ROPE
  5. Open the z>Kitchen menu. You should now be able to disable cooking of Rope Reed plants and seeds.
Other possibilities:
  • If you're using the seedwatch plugin, then check its settings. If it's configured improperly then it can spontaneously re-enable cooking of your plants and seeds.
  • Keep an eye on your farms. I don't have much experience with above-ground farming; I suppose it's possible that the seeds are being planted normally but then the growing (or mature?) plants are being killed by frost.
  • Wandering animals (such as Kea birds) can steal items, but they target high-value stuff so it's very unlikely that they'd raid your crops.

I've not played Masterwork, but in vanilla DF, the chief doctor won't perform diagnoses until a hospital is designated. So it's entirely possible that designating your hospital is exactly why you suddenly have a bunch of "patient appears to be rotting" diagnoses.

It could be that, normally I have the ghouls outside where the miasma doesn't start blasting everywhere.

Something neat though with Masterwork as is, even playing as dwarves they still retain the warlocks "butcher everything ever" attitude and actually butcher things that aren't simple minded quadrupeds. Waiting to see if I can have my dwarves butcher kobolds and eat their delicious meat.

Use the bones of your slain enemies to make armor and weapons with which to slay the next batch. Is it possible to use bone as a weapon material (other than bolts) in Masterwork?

You can, in fact, make bone traps and such at the boneyard, though they deal an insignificant amount of damage.

I make a minor 1-square cave-in but THIS time, it goes horribly wrong and the miner AND the injured dwarf AND her baby all end up with broken spines. WHOOPS.

I would guess it'll follow the same pattern as trees, animals and so on - real plants in the environments that actually exist, fantasy ones in the caverns and evil regions and such. We might see the end of rope reeds and prickle berries but we're probably keeping plump helmets and pig tails.

Urist has been ecstatic lately. He has recently created a masterfully crafted smoke ring.

This is a masterfully crafted smoke ring; it is grey with rings of darker smoke within. It menaces with spikes of TOBACCO and STRAWBERRY LEAVES. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality.

(one turn later the smoke is gone)

Urist has been stricken with a melancholy lately; he has recently lost a masterwork item. Urist is throwing a tantrum.

I wish that was a DFhack option. Knock fools out so that they can be properly hauled to a bed.

Speaking of medical quirks, since when has "Murky Water" been a thing? I thought getting water from a well automatically purified it even if the source was a muddy pool. Apparently it has to be either running water or from a pool two-tiles deep, or you get this nasty crap that gives dwarves bad thoughts and increases the chances of infection if you use it to clean someone.

Do it anyway. So what if the individual traps do insignificant damage? Just make more of them! Sure, you might want a few real traps thrown in to ensure they don't actually live through your trap tunnel, or a military squad to kill them if they do, but "not enough damage" is a problem that will resolve itself if you just keep adding the bones of every slain enemy to the arsenal.

Having a lot of bones lying around is something you want to avoid anyway in Masterwork. loving Necromorphs. Doubly annoying because I didn't care for Dead Space, so having that dumb poo poo shoehorned in added insult to injury.

Triply annoying because the way you're "supposed" to solve the problem, Sacrificing a dwarf to Armok along with the Marker, didn't actually work for me due to a bug. So I had to sit there at 1 FPS while 300 of the little bastards came scuttling out of my bonehorde into the waiting arms of my military.

It's been like that for as long as I've played DF (0.31-ish) at least, so it's not exactly new. Stagnant water can only be purified by a pump I think.

"Water laced with mud", another contaminant, is fixed by using a deep well though (as it only applies if there's mud on the tile you take water from).

I did something like this with falling rock traps (something like 300 in a 3x100 tunnel) and an interesting thing happened:
- It only killed a couple of the first goblin ambush that hit it

I've heard something about really high falls on top of spear traps making the victims instantly legendary blockers or armor wearers, since the gained XP somehow scales with the astronomical amount of force inflicted. How heavy were those rocks?
