Drevoak posted:Thanks for the advice everyone. Another option (at least in the older masterwork version I played) was turning temperature off. That way, even if you hit some unstable warpstone it stays in solid form instead of instantly subliming into a gas for your dwarves to breathe in. Then you can dispose of it however you like. Also works for coal dust (iirc its a special type of coal that only appears hidden in a coal seam that has a different boiling point to regular coal).

I kind of miss the volcanoes from years ago where they wouldn't be one monolithic shape. I hate having to sacrifice some poor schmuck to actually tapping the drat things. Actually...Its more the needlessly convoluted method for making and engraving a proper monument. I won't lie.

You can hack into a volcano without killing the miner, by channeling instead of digging. Dig a 1-tile wide path to the volcano as you normally would, then channel the last tile instead of digging. This creates an open space on the tile below, which the lava has to fill before it can flow into your corridor. Should give you plenty of time to close the floodgate you've rigged to close the tunnel. For extra time, channel the last tile diagonally, as fluids flow more slowly diagonally. Also, make sure to designate some mining work in a safe area when your miner starts channeling the last tile, because then he'll immediately run there to do it rather than stand around thinking about what to do next.

With DFHack magic, you could just build a magnificent sky-piercing obsidian monolith that you then transform into "natural" rock with tiletypes. You should be able to engrave stone brickwork anyway, so bypassing the preposterous requirement to cast entire natural features from magma isn't unreasonable. If you want to be even more sporting, use only raw stone boulders and wooden scaffolds.

I just had my first ever experience with... well, not entirely sure yet. A Werechameleon arrived and destroyed a good part of my fortress, and then morphed into a friendly Human, and is now running across treetops naked. He stored some of my dead dwarfs on the trees as well. As soon as it morphed into a human, one of my own dwarfs went into, I'll say a "mood" (looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!) ... killed a fellow dwarf, and is now crafting -something- out of his corpse. This should be interesting.. Edit: He made a crown. A Crown made of dwarf bone. Not even anything spectacularly fancy, just.. a crown made of his friend's bones. Now everyone is unhappy for some reason. HFCS fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Jul 20, 2014 |

adventure mode is really confusing me. my buddy got accosted by some thugs in a town and when they started kicking him, i intervened. i kept getting "really attack swordsman y/n?" messages but eventually prevailed. while i was hunting the last one down, my buddy just abandoned me? and now people seem to be avoiding me. how do i tell if someone is going to be hostile soon, and why did that dude run off when i helped him  edit: i have four dudes who are clearly with the group i murdered, constantly taking me off of the world map because i "feel uneasy" but I've yet to have them attack me. they aren't even grouping around me. when i ask them if they have troubles, all they can do is say that "ono [me] killed guy a and guy b" Verviticus fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Jul 20, 2014 |

Also, aggression is bugged right now. Hardly anything will attack you. I went into an ettin's cave and started fighting him, and he ran away at a sprint. He only turned to fight after he became enraged, once I had already nearly cut him to ribbons. The best way I've found to get things to attack you is to yell out, demanding everyone nearby to surrender. People don't like that for some reason.

toasterwarrior posted:drat, it's been a while since I've read about a Fell mood Yep. And just in case I foolishly thought I could recover from this death spiral, a goblin siege arrives and all of my fighters refuse to do anything besides panic  Edit: Holy frak, AND an elven ambush at the same time. Edit again: Well, the goblins and the elves have met and are killing each other, but it's too little too late. My dwarfs were caught in the middle and too many were slain to be able to save this.

I've got a weird bug in 0.34.11. My game moves on fine but the year stays 147. It may or may not be because of dfhack though I really haven't used many commands beside force, cleanowned and clean all. Also I can't seem to get anymore migrants, maybe because of that bug. Help?

That sounds like way too much work to spare the stupid migrant wave rear end in a top hat with Potash Making (Expert) as their highest skill. That being said, my last Potash Miner did survive breaching the volcano so she's earned her place among the living.

If I've understood it right, all you'd need is Cheat Engine, a reference table and a lot of patience. We know what 0.34.11 looks like, all that's left to do is see what got scrambled to where with 0.40. It's pushing a nerve and seeing which toe twiddles, except you need to find the toe first in a mass of bodyparts that writhes with your every move.

Two of my guys were outside gathering wood when one of them was trampled and killed by an elephant. His buddy immediately went berserk and punched the elephant so hard it died, then went into a fell mood, ripped off his buddy's head, and stormed back into the fortress. On his way, as he passed by people in the entrance hall, they saw him with the severed head of his companion and went insane. He locked himself in the craftsdwarf shop and started working. When he was finished, he had created a dwarf skull totem and instantly went insane. Other people walked into the workshop to start storing stuff, and instantly went insane. In fact, anybody who looked upon the totem immediately lost their mind. I had to seal up that area. Shortly thereafter, one of the few insane dwarves who hadn't yet jumped into lava or otherwise died decided to stand in the doorway leading outside, and let in a herd of elephants. They slaughtered the rest of my population. The end.
