The Moon Monster posted:You can farm surface plants, but which ones you'll be able to farm depends on your biome while you'll always be able to farm all underground plants. You can look up what grows where in the wiki, but the easiest way to find out what will grow is to designate a big section to gather plants. Brew what you collect, and you'll have seeds ready to grow in that biome. Underground farms are safer and easier though. Well, they used to be safer. Now that mushrooms can poke holes in the ceiling digging out soil layer at all seems pretty dangerous.

I tried putting in a history seed from the wiki that claimed to have all four civilizations (dwarves, humans, elves, goblins) and no go. For crying out loud, I've had a Kobold Hamlet, but no elf cities. EDIT: Are goblin hamlets peaceful? tom bob-ombadil fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Jul 30, 2014 |

Yeah I've been mucking about with ridiculous amounts of civs and really short histories (10 or 25 years) and it's definitely just not spawning elves for whatever reason.

Doesn't look like it changes the first volcano's location so feel free to ramp up the number of volcanoes if that's what you're worried about. Other than that, I don't see any changes. EDIT: Also ramping up minerals doesn't change the geography at all. Now there's actually iron in this world. tom bob-ombadil fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Jul 30, 2014 |

I think you can mass forbid all webs from the stocks screen and then use the reclaim designation on the webs you might actually want.

PublicOpinion posted:I think you can mass forbid all webs from the stocks screen and then use the reclaim designation on the webs you might actually want. I don't see 'webs' under Stocks, but I think I might have a short term answer. I went to my Loom workshop and pressed "s" to suspend all work at that workshop. Because the workshop is the thing that's spamming the Collect Webs job, hopefully suspending it will stop my dorfs from telling me they can't get to any.

You can do it at the 'o'rders screen as well I believe. Auto collect webs. Then you can make all the ++Dog Wool Burqua++s that you want.

In the [O]rders menu you can turn off auto collect webs. Then they won't try to collect any webs unless you specifically tell them to, but other loom functions proceed normally.

This goblin civilization has ~50 goblins and 1550 trolls. It's been led by a demon for the last 200 years, and it's pretty much singlehandedly destroyed the 3 dwarf civilizations in the world. Two have been destroyed for 150 years, and the third hangs on by a thread (~40 dwarves in the whole thing). There's also a dragon associated with wealth and fire that's been rampaging up and down the mountains.

Dungeon Ecology posted:Awesome. Thank you. Now to deal with "Urist McDwarf cancels Store item in Stockpile: Item inaccessible..." If it is just one guy, first make sure that he isn't stuck somewhere. Sometimes a dwarf will wall himself in, drop a statue on his foot, or pass through a narrow hall just as mushroom trees sprout up to block both ends. If it is just one item, you can forbid that item and be done with it. Usually you can't find the item though. If you can't find the item and you really, really want the spam to stop you can use the nuclear option. If you've dug too deep this will be tiresome. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Forbid Go to the top level of the sky, upper right corner and then hit [d] [b] [f] and then move your cursor to the lower left corner, and all the way down to the lowest level you have revealed at all. This will forbid absolutely everything on the map. Then use [d] [b] [c] and mass reclaim all the areas that you are using and that you know don't have any objects on unreachable tiles. This can be a bit fiddly in places. Now unpause, and if you've successfully forbidden the troublesome items the spam should stop. If the spam continues, feel free to shriek and bash your head against your desk a few times. At least you have seriously narrowed down the area where the could be so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Apparently I started as a dead dwarven civ. Apparently my fortress, Honorstaff, was the only site for that civ. Apparently I can retire my fortress, make a bunch of ¤Grand Master Biters¤, retire them where they start, and have an instant militia. Edit: there is no militia yet and my just-retired adventurer dwarf has a single thought: he is upset about being relieved from duty

Literally Kermit posted:I'm having the same no-migrant bug - not even the obligitory "couple early stragglers then a migrant rush in the fall" you'd get even with a dead dwarf civ. Also while my yak cows are birthing, none of my bitches have whelped yet. No puppies. I learned that, if you've been copying over your d_init.txt file from 0.40.xx release to release to release, it breaks migration waves in 0.40.05, because a new setting was added to the file. Specifically, the new setting is [STRICT_POPULATION_CAP:220]. If this option is missing from your d_init.txt, it is assumed to be zero, thus preventing any migration or baby births.

I really think this needs one major thing to be really viable: sites not being insta-conquered out of world gen. The way it is now an invader will always win. Which is just depressing when it comes to retired forts and generally leads to goblin world domination.
