So I have learned that you CAN kill a slade colossus. It requires about 30 z levels of falling, but it CAN be done. Fifty dwarves with adamantine weapons, though? No. Nowhere close.

Urgh, I think I need to put this on hold until Toady fixes the everything being a loving wimp bug. I have an armadillo man running around in my farming area freaking out at everything, and my war dogs are just staring at it like a bunch of useless chihuahuas. And keas ran off with my bolts so the best my ranger/crossbow dwarf can do is bash it with his crossbow until he passes out from exertion.

Tell me honest: Is my human outsider screwed? Drowsy, purple "THIRSTY", no waterskin, eating snow doesn't actually quench thirst even though that is possible IRL, I can get a bucket full of ice from the bottom of a well, but I can't TAKE the ice, or the bucket, or melt it in a campfire next to me. *edit* I know I can kill someone/some tame animal and drink their blood, and I'm starting considering the latter, but my guy is too honorable for the former.

Drowsy you get rid of by sleeping. Purple Thirsty isn't the worst thirsty. Go to the nearest human fort and you'll probably be able to find a waterskin or a flask by rummaging around in their basement. You can also drink directly out of rivers but it's probably too cold for that.

If there's any habitation nearby, you might be able to take a bag. If you fill the bag with snow, you should be able to melt it by heating the bag (with 'I') at a campfire.

Get snow (or ice) into your inventory. Press g, then choose Make a Campfire. Press Ctrl-I for advanced interaction. Choose your snow or ice from the menu, then you'll be given the option to to heat it by the campfire. Snow/ice is now drinkable water in your inventory. Also... if you are deep underground and find nothing but undrinkable muddy water, you can fill your backpack or waterskin with the muddy water, then pour it on the ground, then refill your container from "here" and the water will be clean and drinkable.

Subjunctive posted:Toady has explicitly said that he doesn't want content related to sexual slavery or concubines or similar in DF, and that's why it was removed from Masterwork in fact. So there's hope, however slim. Simply by virtue of working on this thing for years Toady must be pretty good at coding now. However, he's good at coding in his own asinine way so who knows how applicable those skills would be to projects he's not in complete control of. That's the assumption I make from looking at the raws at least.

Might have to go with sacmtank's solution to passive wildlife and remove the flier tag from these loving white storks. They've been here for months and all they've done is hover in the air. I don't even get how Toady manage to break flying AI but it probably has something to do with the gait system. EDIT: This is...perplexing.  A bunch of random wildlife is showing up on my missing list. This includes some cavern creatures, and I haven't even breached a cavern layer yet.

v0.34 questions I've figured out how to form a military squad, equip them, make them attack specific things and move to certain areas.. but how the hell do I set them to "active duty" (if that's the right term)? If there is a thief about or siege going on, I want them to be armed to the teeth and looking to kill stuff. As I'm doing it now, they only rush to suit up and arm themselves when I issue a specific kill order, and go back to civilian life as soon as they kill the unit specified. Second: Whenever I assign a squad to train in my barracks, they just sometimes sit in it, occasionally doing "individual combat drills" and not gaining much skill. Is there a better way to make them train more quickly? The wiki is being less than helpful. The military interface in this game is an absolute nightmare.

Well, tell her that people remember it and still miss it I guess. It'd be interesting to see her take on some of the newest things in DF, particularly puppet adventurers.

UltraShame posted:v0.34 questions In the military screen, go to alerts ('a' I think). Highlight active/training, then hit right to highlight your squad and hit enter on them. They will all go into whatever your schedule tells them to do (which is training 'round the clock, by default) and you can give them station and kill orders, but they will immediately suit up once you do this and stay suited until you deactivate them.

I've got some flight time over the next few days, which means dwarf time I think. What should I do to reduce power drain? I'm thinking FPS limit of 50 with GFPS of 20, the dfhack temp and fluid tweaks, 3x3 embark. Does world size matter?

Somehow, one of my hunters fired a crossbow bolt, missed, hit a beekeeper, and subsequently triggered a loyalty cascade in the meeting hall. Eleven dwarves are dead so far, everyone is horrified, and somehow the cat that got crippled by forgotten beast nerve gas 5 years ago is still crawling around. Edit: A sheep just passed out from exhaustion from wrestling dwarves. Also, a child punched a wolverine so hard its head exploded into gore.

GulMadred posted:Nah, I just checked and it's included in 40.01. To revisit this issue, my primary problem is that my hauler will take my pigtail barrel out to gather 1 new plant at which point all my "Process Plants" labors throw errors because the pigtails in the barrel are no longer accessible. I am guessing there is some convoluted way to solve this with multiple stockpiles feeding into each other and eventually into the Farmer's Workshop but that is a pretty lovely solution. As you said, I don't think fiddling with the raws will fix this. Edit: As an aside, if Goblins aren't listed as neighbors during embark does that mean you won't get sieges, ever?

Apparently, nothing wakes people up in the night. You can go into a village and start chopping off the heads of sleeping villagers and everyone just sleeps away. If you start chopping limbs from a sleeping person, they just keep sleeping, though they'll turn hostile as they sleep.

As for ice, I would have been screwed without the sack I found, since I started out naked with only weapons. I found no way to pick up ice from a well bucket or frozen river, and if you hold snow, then go near a camp fire, it melts, and you don't quench thirst licking the water off your hand.

You used to be able to slake your thirst by drinking the water covering off yourself after hopping in a pond or getting rained on, but it looks like that's been nerfed.
