As far as I know migrants are never randomly generated after the first two waves, so your guys must be coming from somewhere in the world. Maybe they've just lived extremely uneventful lives?

While talking with my dwarven liaison, he mentioned groups of dwarf refugees forming their own entities and heading out after having their homes conquered by humans. Since traveling groups are actually tracked now (you can see them as grey asterisks in adventure travel mode), they're probably still roaming around. I didn't think of checking my migrants to see if they were refugees from conquered sites. That'd be pretty cool. I also retired my 40.02 fort and tried to generate a dwarven adventurer... as a newly-minted fortress guard of said retired fort. Needless to say, the game immediately crashed. It was inevitable.

Dumb question, but one I've never hit before. I grabbed a LNP thing for 34.whatever (peridexiserrant? its on the wiki), and rolled up a world and never actually bothered to prospect. After digging around for ages its all copper ores (on highest mineral generation). Prospecting shows no iron and when I revealed the map to look around I noticed there wasn't an adamantine tube, just a bunch of open space under the magma sea and an open square tube going up a couple levels to break out. This hasn't ever happened to me before. Did I just get wicked unlucky or whats going on there?

The 'reveal' command does not show the adamantine tubes. If you want to see them too, I think you need to type 'reveal hell' or something like that. Any embark of 4x4 or larger is pretty much guaranteed to have at least one adamantine tube.

I was travelling with four dwarf drunks when I stopped at a river to get a drink. There were some dingoes by the river, and two of the dwarves promptly ran after the dingoes and beat them all to death with their bare hands. One of the other drunks was apparently so scarred by this that whenever we stopped at a site he'd just stand still and talk about the horrors of death. Our journey came to an end when we were ambushed by a night creature. He immediately punched the head off of the traumatized dwarf, climbed up a tree another drunk had rushed up to escape, threw him off and then bit his head off. The other two drunks and I sprinted away as fast as we could, but he still caught up to us one by one, until finally he kicked my legs out from under me and punched my head into the dirt, causing it to explode into gore. It is terrifying.

Does the new version have any unused skills in it? I remember I used to have some modded magic wand weapons that ran off some unused skill or another and was wondering if that's possible still.

Mister Bates posted:Dwarf Fortress: Bronze Colossus Rampage edition is never going to get old. It's like blowing off steam in Grand Theft Auto except I'm a fifty-foot-tall naked metal man. I'm punting people across the map, running full-tilt all over the place and never slowing down, and sending people skidding along the ground so fast when I punch them that it rips their limbs off. A group of six people finally worked up the nerve to draw real weapons and attack me earlier, and I responded by casually punching all of them in the face so hard their heads exploded. Thanks to your recommendation I have spent the last hour playing what essentially amounts to an ultraviolent version of Toribash, and it's pretty great.

i'm having a really hard time talking to a person, getting a quest, getting the right info for that quest and then doing the quest like, i finally figured out how to get them to tell me where to go and then there's no markers on the map or any useful information on how to find the site. Is [Q] just completely useless now except to tell me about all the skunks that attacked me or something "go east to an invisible marker" is about the best ive gotten

I believe Gnomes get a building that's somewhat similiar to this in Masterwork, something called an excavation site that allows them to scan for nearby gems and ore. I've only just started playing Masterwork, though, and haven't had a chance to use it yet.

A year into my first fort in a long time I had practically no immigrants and no militia, since i hadnt produced anything of value I wasnt expecting an ambush. Instead, a Warelizard appeared, tore apart a child, gored a fisherman, turned into an amphibianwoman and fled. The game crashed just as the agressor left the map. Reloading the the game progressed more or less the same except this time a WareRhino appeared in my trade depot. Made its way inside and started to rip up the place starting with a small child.  This was a historic day. Six dorfs fell before the Warecreature morphed into a human and was setupon by dogs. Slabs and engravings would later recount this day as The day of Threshing.

Iiiiiiii just had a fortress fail horribly because two goblins were hiding in trees. I had a siege before I had my third migrant wave, and had like twenty dwarves, walled up and waited. Two goblins remained after the seige got tired of shooting turkey and waddled off, I had a migrant wave come in of like 20 and I wanted those guys cleaned out so I got my dudes together and had them train. Four people died from the two of them but it worked out, goblins ran off after getting bored of killing my dudes. Then the tantrum spiral happened. I didn't know dwarves got horrified now and that horror caused people to tantrum and standard tantrum spiral happened, aaaand yeah. Why would I get invaded when I have like 20 dwarves and I literally am trying to make nothing that adds value to avoid siege until I get more. Do I need to initchange so I start out with thirty and go from there or is there something I'm missing. Edit: Oh right, then my game crashed sending me back to before I even had a dining hall so hey, it all works out in the end?

Shukaro, or whatever you name is here at SA, are you still around? Yes, you who've made the Mouse Fortress tool? I've finally got a look at your thing and it shows great promise. With the addition of current DFhack plugins that allow e.g. selecting things by clicking on them, this becomes very powerful indeed. I believe we might use your code as a basis for a proper UI overlay that would replace the vanilla UI for the most part. Here's my thoughts on the topic.

For those of you who are keen to know about how my Dwarf Fortress competition entry is doing (why would you be?), I'm still in the lead, but only marginally. In ~drama~ news, I did have one other competitor contact me and ask me to rig the system with him. When I didn't reply he found me on Twitter and sent me abuse  Anyway, if you think it would be funny for a competition sponsored by a company that sells products for l337 g4m3rZ to be won by a heartfelt essay to the inscrutable depths of Dwarf Fortress, click here to vote: http://yourbeautifulgame.com/entry/1144828 I think it would be hilarious. The other entries are all "Call OF DUtY IS AWeSOME!" while mine is an 800 word love letter to an endlessly baffling game that I keep trying and failing to actually play.

SynthOrange posted:'Your migrant dwarves have more chance of being a vampire than being homosexual.' I think that's just because the weird, top-down way it was implemented means that bisexuality is inadvertently/emergently the most common thing aside from heterosexuality. As opposed to gay/straight/bi/ace, characters are just gay and not straight, straight and not gay, gay and straight, or neither straight nor gay.  The rate of dwarves willing to love/marry the same sex with no interest in the opposite sex does seem bizarrely low, though. Maybe it'll get tweaked? e: just don't invert the die roll for same-sex attraction. Bisexuality everywhere!
