My guess; pathfinding madness where dwarves get stuck in loops, and keep trying to take paths that wind up breaking all their bones, causing other dwarves to fall down whatever chasm they tried to climb in order to claim the precious socks.

Dwarves inexplicably wear nothing but socks on every body part. Except their feet.

Invaders will draw from any part of the world, including dead entities, gods, your own fort; sometimes a siege will come and half your dwarves will teleport across the map to join their camp which is also full of nothing but bones, vampires, and deities.

Actually on this note, do you happen to know if there's an upper limit to the size trees can grow? It'd be pretty neat to arrive at Yggdrasil and chop it down just to upset the Elves, or indeed to play like Elves and live in the tree's boughs and branches and hollowed-out trunk.

The new raws dictate both the maximum height and width of the trunk in addition to the canopy and roots, so whatever constraints those have I guess. The samples Toady posted don't have highwood trees, so I don't know about any upper bounds. I don't think you can have branches thick enough to walk or build on, though.

Dwarves only know how to fell trees. Elf sites seem to be the only ones who know how to hollow them out like that.

In plugin news, Mifki is making good progress on the Windows version of TWBT that has that vaunted more-than-one-tile-size-on-screen functionality.

So I just got back from France and am now committed to making Dwarf Louvre. From what I gather, there is a major overhaul update coming out shortly so I should hold off for that? I thought I remembered reading that Toady went nuts and released the source code before checking into rehab or something.

Yep, that all happened the same time as the latest release dropped, earlier today.

I'm suggesting the dwarves, for lack of condoms, put the socks on their cocks and discard the cum-stained footwear in the hallways after they are done loving. That's what I was suggesting.

Is there any way to restrict certain jobs (e.g. masons) to only use certain materials without locking them into a workshop with said material? Trying to get my rear end in a top hat dwarves to make microcline tables has become a chore.

Bad Munki
Nov 4, 2008

Set up a stockpile that only has the materials you want to use, set that stockpile to give to a specific mason shop, only order tables from that shop. Yes you're still tied to a specific shop, but you don't have to lock anyone in or anything. Any dwarf that completes a job at that shop will only use materials available from the stockpiles that are giving to it.

I think you can do it with workflow, too, if you put the right thing in the dfhack command. Or create the job for table, and use dfhack's job-material command to make it microcline.

I think?

Slightly better support for plumbing (to deal with features already in the game) wouldn't be too bad, but other than that no, those things can stay abstracted for all I care.

If I can't fertilize fields with a mixture of dwarf poo poo and goblin/forgotton beast innards, Dwarf Fortress isn't yet complete. If I can't drown an elf in a 'crop field undergoing extreme fertilization', Dwarf Fortress isn't yet complete.

If I can't buy out a caravan with a load of Shitbarrels (fired and glazed, of course) full of 'fertilizer'...

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

I think he is refusing to do that because it would immediately add a whole new level of terror to drowning traps.

The truth, however, is that dwarves expel waste in the form of vermin, which cats then kill. The vermin then rots away, generating the miasma upon which plants feed. This previously undiscovered aspect of Cat/Dwarf symbiosis demonstrates the need for more research and studies in the area.

So I slacked off on getting my defenses working and my militia trained, and then goblins happened.



They brought elves with them too. This game :allears:

e: One dwarf actually managed to survive, a fey gemcutter who was away from the carnage making an artifact. So now I have a legendary gemcutter living alone in a fortress full of ghosts and dog carcasses.
