One of my peasant dwarves just randomly inherited a baronetcy without warning, when I didn't even have a mayor yet. Hunting through legends mode, her father is indeed listed as a baron, and of her five older siblings, two have been killed and three were captured and indoctrinated by the goblins, making her the rightful heir. I guess The Cremated War of the great dwarven realm of The Mirror of Skulls against the demon worshipping goblins of The Superior Devil is going poorly  e: And another peasant inherited. Now I have two baronesses, for double the annoying demands. Mygna fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jul 19, 2014 |

Everyone espouses playing as a slade colossus, but I think I'd rather play as a dragon. Feels like it'd give some more weight to taking territory, ruling over cities, and killing rival megabeasts. Any quick way to mod that in?

Given that the anniversary of the Spanish Revolution is tomorrow, I kind of want to create a dwarven group with 'Red' and 'Black' in its name whose sole purpose is to attract as much of the dwarven nobility to the fortress as possible and then kill them. I'll murder my way up the entire leadership heirarchy.

Add this to your entity_default.txt file in the raw/object folder: code:Of course you need to generate a new world for these changes to take effect. I don't think there's anything stopping you from adding multiple entities like that for each creature you want to play as in the same world, but the entities themselves probably need to have different names (CHEATING1, CHEATING2 etc). Also keep in mind that doing it this way won't let you actually stake a claim over a site. I don't know enough about the new system and RAW editing to figure out how that's even possible. Other than like, replacing humans with dragons or whatever. That'd be quite a sight.

I reclaimed a fort, hoping to fight the forgotten beast inside, but found that the very bottom of the fort was exactly on top of an adamantine vein. I dug into it, of course, and my three remaining dwarves walled themselves in a small statue room with some dogs, and dug down to the underground lake for water. I'm hoping they'll survive until more migrants come. The migrants will of course be drafted into the Demon War. Anyway, I'm posting this story because one of the flame demons got into a fight with a cat, and the cat clawed off all three of its tails

What's up with Collect Webs? I have a guy sitting here spamming that he can't reach when there's an open path to the cave system below my fort. It seemed to only happen when I built some walls down there (that didn't block anything) but even after removing them it's happening. Edit: Also my queen just came with my third migrant wave. I'm up to 35 dwarves. I guess they have nothing to do in really young worlds.

I think dwarves can cue up jobs to collect webs or hunt in caverns even when you haven't revealed the tiles on which the webs/animals are, but when they go to perform the job they won't be able to find a path until the tile is revealed.

If it's in the fog they won't be able to path to it (you can use burrows and cover all visible webs to solve that problem). Also maybe related, there's a bug (now fixed for the next version) that removing constructions teleports nearby objects to different layers. Maybe they had a job for a web that got teleported somewhere, or something like that? I've seen whole rooms of items get warped to different z layers when constructions are removed (causes a lot of item missing spam).

I think I just experienced dwarven succession in my fort. For no reason at all, and without being promoted past Village status, I now have a queen. Not an announcement, not her retinue, just between messing with the 'n' menu one time and the next, suddenly dwarf royalty. I'm probably doomed. This is a fort in its 2nd year without even a metal industry set up yet.

What's up with farmers picking something and then immediately going to the stockpile and dragging a barrel to the item they just picked? Is this a new behaviour/bug this release or has it been like this for a while? This isn't how it used to work, they used to pick a bunch of stuff and then haul all of it to a barrel. My efficiency. edit: appears it has been like this for a while. Is there any workaround to stop them hauling barrels to the plants themselves (or to stop them doing it after each and every harvest-job).

scamtank posted:I think the harvesters need to have Food Hauling off for that. Unfortunately they still get a 'store item in barrel' task automatically after gathering, even with that disabled. This might be a bug. Going to try a workaround which is to have them haul the food into a stockpile without barrels/bins, and then have other dwarves feed stuff from that stockpile elsewhere.

Oh, well. I thought it'd be too easy. The way I do it is "farm plot -> plant stockpile without barrels right next to it -> primary plant stockpile with barrels some distance away, set to take from the previous". The first haul job (probably the farmer) puts it in the staging lot and some rear end in a top hat from downstairs with too much time on his hands does the barrel-combining. Probably just in time to pick up multiple plants, too.

Going to give it a go  edit: it works quite nicely - if the stockpiles by the workshops 'only take from links', then the farmers will only drop off their produce at their intermediate (no barrel) stockpile. The farmers hauling without hauling jobs is an existing bug on the tracker, so I gave it a bump because it's bloody annoying. I still wish barrels worked like they used to, but oh well.

Transforming your military from the greenest of green baby retard recruits to a legitimate fighting force is hilarious now. Watching my lone idiot crossbowdwarf, likely the first dwarf in the world to ever contemplate killing, become instantly terror-stricken the moment he fires one wooden bolt into a family of thrips men (who themselves instantly begin crying and vomiting and bemoaning the fragility of life as the bolt hurtles toward them) is goddamn hysterical. He's chasing them down the hillside now and they're retching and puking as he bashes their heads in with his wooden crossbow and he's crying as they call for help and he is merciless and it was inevitable and it is terrifying.

I put my butchering shop right at the edge of my slop/execution pit and I regret it. My butcher/military commander regularly drops everything in the middle of some meat-carving and runs screaming when he notices the thrips man remains at the bottom of the pit 3 z-levels down again.

I want to goldmine this post. Also on the same topic I have this dwarf skull floating above my entrance for some reason and every so often one of my dwarves looks up when they go inside and freeze in terror as they see the spooky hammerdwarf skull. This hilariously includes most of my military who proceed to piss themselves in terror esxcept for the guys who actually have kills to their name.

So that puke problem I had in my fortress? Doesn't seem to be happening anymore (for now) but something else is happening that's odd and..honestly gives me the creeps.. So I've built up my military and they're outfitted head to toe with steel basically. Lots of front door skirmishes have been going on lately with interlopers, which shouldn't be odd..but...the wounded soldiers (among others) have been coming back with this odd sort of wasting disease once they're injured. They're being put and treated in the fully stocked hospital I have like usual but then I noticed miasma coming from a couple of the beds.. When I K'd over them to see what was on the square...to my horror...I found that my illustrious doctors were stacking people 7, sometimes 8 high on single bed. That's not the gross part though...The horror comes from this odd wasting syndrome the people on the bed are going through. Going into detail screen about the dwarves finds that most of them basically have masses of rotting body parts. So basically my doctor dwarves are creating these giant masses of flesh eating disease sufferers stacked on beds. I wish I had saved a screenshot of this...the thoughts and feelings screen was basically one giant wall of red text detailing rotting body parts. Ugh, I have the heebie jeebies.

Have you encountered any forgotten beasts or titans? They can have randomly generated syndromes, the side effects of which can include making dwarves rot away to nothing. Alternatively, are you in an evil biome of any kind? Those have randomly generated rains with similar potential effects, among other fun things.
