Not strictly Dwarf Fortress, but this video was published today and I feel it's appropriately celebratory of the new release. It's not terrifying, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWz0qVvBZ0

Ah crap, protip for everyone, don't keep your corpse stockpile near your trade depot or the merchants will point at and say "It is terrifying" as the immediately leave. poo poo.

Well, most of my forts usually lead to all grounds outside of the walls being littered with body parts, bones, and corpses. Is that going to be an issue?

I'm really not the best at this game, I don't remember it being this much 'fun'. The last time I really played was before the last 2012 release. Would it be worth taking a warrior dwarf to protect my other dwarves? I just lost one of my guys to Kakapo Men/Women and it seems to be a running theme with my forts that random people keep showing up. EDIT: Now a giant mosquito killed another and one of my other dwarves just fell out of a tree breaking his spine. This is kinda amusing.

Does that mean you can demoralize invaders by routing them through the bonehoard? Because hell yes.

My killing fields and trap hallways are usually littered with the rotting corpses of my foes. I haven't gotten very far with a fort in the new version but I can tell my mechanics are gonna become jaded as hell. While playing with my last adventurer, I got fed up with the lack of appreciation the villagers had towards my eradication of the bandit menace. So I gathered up a bunch of corpses, dropped them all in a heap in some random house and watched the inhabitants freak out for a bit.

Well that ended quickly  I would experiment with bone piles and report but that's on hold for now because a single Weresquirrel child just killed half my fort. It was moving and attacking at roughly four times the speed as any of my dwarves.

So if I wanted to take a stab at this, do tiles work with the new version?

In fort mode I think the only things that might be messed up with a tileset would be the trees. In adventure mode there's a bunch of new display elements that might be all weird if the tileset replaces flasks, cages, stairs, or some other things I can't remember off the top of my head.

Retiring an adventurer in a retired fort, then unretiring the fort causes a crash.

Don't ask sleeping people about local troubles. The game crashes if it tries to give you a dialogue menu with no options.

Late to the Masterwork talk (loving last minute call in) but if you do play Masterwork as the dwarves for the love of god disable the research workshop. Its terrible, have you ever thought "I want to make a building that requires several tedious to gather materials, but first I want to have to expend all those materials, have a chance to fail and completely lose them all for the privilege of building ONE of these buildings"? Just turn it off, you can then build the advanced buildings without worries of the RNG loving you.

I went to the kobold hamlet. They were living in whatever houses were not already in ruins from the great war that destroyed them decades earlier. There weren't too many of them and none of them were named, and if I had to guess I'd say most of them were related. I wasn't able to converse with them, so the no doubt tragic story of why and how their forefathers came to the village will go untold for all time. e: The weirdest part is that they have stuff stolen from them by other kobolds in history.

I'm planning on building a fountain, and I had a quick question. The idea of the fountain is that I will have a pumpstack going up to a reservoir, which will then have a U pipe going underground and to the base of the fountain. Now, am I correct in thinking that if I build the fountain of with the following cross section: code:In other words, does water under pressure ignore diagonal paths until the pressure runs out?

Is there any way to get masons to work faster? Mine always run off to the furthest corner of my mines to grab just the right piece of stone, which wouldn't be so bad, except they don't use a wheelbarrow, so they spend 5 minutes hauling the heavy thing back to the workshop. The only solution I can come up with right now is making all of my mason workshops take materials only from a stone stockpile right next to the workshop, and then give that stockpile some wheelbarrows. That would work, but it'd require people moving stone around constantly, and I don't have the labor to spare with only 11 dwarves.

Really that is the only real solution, outside of understanding why the masons do what they do: Masons only grab what is considered non economic stone, if you go to your z screen and go to the stone tab you can toggle what stones are usable and what aren't, so maybe the mason is ignoring the closer stone cause he can't actually use it. The other problem is that the stone that is so far away might actually be right under him. If there is a boulder 2 tiles away from a mason, but there is one directly on his tile, only 100 z levels down he will go for the one all the way in the basement first.

I'm pretty sure it's only if it's equal or fewer z-levels down than the nearest one on the same z-level, even if he has to walk 10,000 tiles to get there. I'm not entirely certain, but I'm pretty sure if you have one object five tiles away on the same z-level, and one on the same tile, 4 z-levels down, the one 4 z-levels down is 'closer' no matter the actual pathing length to get there, but not if it were say, six z-levels down.

I understand the distance thing. The main problem I'm having is that they won't use wheelbarrows, making it take ages to carry even closest piece of stone to the workshop.

Wheelbarrows can only bring things into stockpiles, not out of them. The only time someone will place something from a stockpile into a wheelbarrow to move it, is if the destination is another stockpile which has wheelbarrows assigned.

It seems to always crash around that point when trying to simulate a Large one, so stick with Medium or smaller for now and it should work.

With the nee version I've been thinking of playing DF again, but I'd prefer to play some sort of "Vanilla Enhanced" mod that would just tweak what's already in the game, improve balance, play around with tags to add uniqueness to plants and creatures etc. without adding a shitton of new, dubious content As far as I can tell, there's nothing like that, and the closest thing in the last version was our Markus > Leper > Scamtank mod. Scamtank, do you have anything? I don't mean for the new version but you've done a lot of tweaking (combat, entity raws...) in the last version. If you could point me to your changelogs and notes, I'd try to create a new version.

What a time you should ask - I've actually just finished porting over/trimming the non-working fat from Lepertank. The string patcher's table doesn't have nearly all of the new tokens, but it seems to be safe to use. Not a lot got changed or removed, anyway. Lepertank 0.4a Aside from minor extra tweaks to armor, it's got slightly less stuff than the 0.3 version. I didn't include the old changelog, but it's been heavily commented anyway and the critical bits are in - combat/body changes, ModestMod grazer/egg/giant frequency stuff, removed professions and improved honeymaking, removed aquifers and other Limperflush's mineral changes, plant dyes and products, the new dwarf nobles, the lot. If there's anything that could be wrong, it's that the string patcher template could have some experimental changes in there that I've forgotten about and didn't like that much, but using that thing is voluntary anyway. e: I almost forgot to mention, this thing is made with ASCII in mind. I can probably wrangle together a Phoebus version sometime later when my head stops throbbing. scamtank fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Wait for a while, then get stuck in. cheesetriangles posted:That sounds kinda disappointing. On the other hand, it's really cool that I can find specific people/places/events without having to have a copy of the world running legends in the side. I can just ask people where things are and they'll either tell me or guide me. Conversation is my favorite feature so far. It feels a lot more organic than it used to be. What's the command to climb in Adventure mode?
