That kind of happened when it switched from 2D to 3D. I know I was still playing 2D for like half a year after the 3D version was released, and that was before DFHack and all.

Dig out the preliminary dining room, barracks and storage before your dwarfs start to fall asleep for the first time. Get your food and other items stored behind a door before thieving wildlife comes along come along and starts stealing all your poo poo. Get to the river and get your farms dug out before the spring flood. Build a road to the far side of the map before the second summer so you don't miss the wagons. Fortify around the underground river and the cavern (once you reach it) to keep frogmen, antmen, snakemen, etc. from appearing in the middle of your town. There is still lots to do, but somehow the first year seems a lot less frantic now.

Yeah, and now there's all this evidence of you guys talking about your nefarious plans. However, now that I'm not the OP of the DF thread, it'll probably fade into obscurity without my tender loving neglect, so nobody will ever know.

Masterwork Warlocks: 1) How do you use Jails? Just build one next to a prisoner pasture? Do you have to pasture after the Jail is built? Is the feeding automated or do I need to put the reaction repeat? 2) Pylons - how do you guys setup your network? What's their range on activation?

DEVLOG, GOToady One posted:Truck truck truck. Having some exposition issues... got back from an assignment to find my leader had been beheaded, only I wasn't able to figure that out by talking to people (had to go to legends afterward). Was surprised to find kobolds occupying a set of dwarven hillocks... thought it was a bug, but it was actually a legit bandit takeover from 20 years prior that nobody told me about. Walked into another hill dwarf site and everybody was running out of the civic mound yelling about an insurrection. I walked in there and the mayor was by himself. I thought I'd help them out, so I stabbed him in the head. One of the fleeing dwarves turned around and beat me to death. That'll teach me to meddle in internal affairs. In another game, I walked out into a market and all the humans and goblins there were in a giant brawl. I think that flare-up was caused by something in their cultural pasts but I didn't figure it out. Sometimes you just want to grab somebody and scream "what's going on?!" but you can only ask about certain things... a list which needs to be expanded even as they continue to volunteer more information.

Prediction for the first few weeks of the next version: crazy poo poo happens all the time and the best part of the game is trying to figure out why.

I was already pretty keen on playing Adventure Mode in the current version. Being able to get involved in site politics is going to be so rad. That talk about eventually making your adventurer group an entity that can own a site and will survive even after you die/retire is also exciting. It was mentioned in one of the dwarf fortress talk episodes and this update will certainly bring us closer to that goal.

Of course the new release comes out while the forums are down, I still don't know how to do anything and I couldn't talk with goons about it. The weird bugs in the new trees are cool though.

Jesus, I hope he fixes the clothing bug that causes dwarves to strip down and leave their poo poo all over the place with no one willing to touch any of it. Nobody will stockpile or dump any of it and my only idea is to build atom smashers over each one. Super loving annoying.

Release-baiting aside. Is there a version of DF like the lazy newb pack, but with the new stone sense and dwarf therapist, and possibly some sort of re-arrangement to make the menu's make more sense.

I have been dropping in new picturefort, dfhack and the like, seems to work fine. If you're on Windows I could zip it up for you. Edit: my LNP (starter pack, now) has Therapist 0.6.12 in it, which seems to be the latest already. I'm using the one from this thread. Is there a workflow or other way to have a gem cutter autocut gems as they come in? Also, can I tell my dwarves what stones to use for traps? I'd like jet in crafts and shale in traps, rather than the other way around. Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Jun 26, 2014 |

You could use workflow to autocut gems, but you'd need to have a repeat event for every gem type and you may need to build multiple workshops to accommodate all the gem types. You'd have a lot of workflow rules, though, but it's possible. Just set the count to an obscenely high number. I don't really recommend that, though, as you should always have some rough gems on hand in case dwarves get moody.

Yeah, I'd need to make more workshops too because you can only have 10 jobs open per workshop. It'd be great if there was some seedwatch+workflow+stockflow sort of hybrid that could do this.

I believe you can set workshops to only draw from specific stockpiles. It might require a Manager. Failing that, you can always set up burrows. In both cases, the good old "designate a garbage pit above a stone stockpile, set desired stone to dump, unforbid afterward" trick should help keep the stockpile compact.

Sorry, I mean which stones to use in loading stonefall traps, not in making mechanisms.

I'm trying to get the flow of materials in my fortress in better shape, so I'm looking into linked stockpiles. Example: a finished goods one restricted to masterwork crafts, which is the only source for my gem setting workshop (along with a cut-gem one, obviously). One thing from the wiki I didn't understand is how stockpile chaining can speed things up: wiki posted:However, despite these limitations, enough micromanagement will allow for effective and (relatively) streamlined supply chains. For example, you can speed up lumber harvesting, carpentry, and ash and charcoal production by putting several wood stockpiles near the various tree-felling areas, then one large "primary" stockpile near the carpenter's workshop that takes from those small ones, and then finally, a small stockpile near the wood furnace that takes from the primary one. How is that better than just having the "primary" one and the one near the furnace be independent, and skipping the one near the collection area? It seems like having more intermediate stops is only going to make things slower, maybe unless I'm using a minecart to move from outside to in.

Wait no, if you turn off wood hauling on the woodcutter he just lets it fall where he cut it and somebody else has to haul it. Hm. It would improve efficiency if you used a minecart, yeah, but otherwise you just have more steps involved. Having the furnace one pull from the primary one means it's always stocked, though, rather than requiring a dwarf to decide to put some wood in it instead of the main one.

Zereth posted:Set up a one-tile stockpile for the jet, either by dumping or by the use of a minecart powered quantum stockpile, and forbid it when it's time to load traps? quote:The dwarf cuts the wood, takes it to the stockpile right nearby, and then cuts more wood, getting more wood cut per period of time. Right, my wood-cutters don't haul anything. Putting the furnace "downstream" of the primary seems like it would mean that I'd have to wait for someone to move something to primary and *then* someone to decide to haul something to the furnace one. I guess that only matters if they both get really low, in which case I have more to deal with.

Having dedicated haulers so your workers can concentrate is a godsend. Just don't get low on haulers and your woodcutters can deforest and entire area before getting tired. If they had to drag the wood back each time they wouldn't even get halfway.
