Are any of you raw editing wizards willing to tell me how to modify the noble GCS so I can breed them? I managed to catch a male and female and it seems like a waste not to set them against my enemies.

Started a new fortress in a jungle where it rains elf blood. A bunch of the starting seven got a "had a nice bath recently" thought from the blood rain.

Are there any issues with brewing at the moment? I'm running v40.06, but it's a game started using 40.04. I have plenty of rock pots and plump helmets, helmet are allowed to be brewed in the Kitchen window, but the option to brew from plants is red to me.

The only thing I can guess is happening is that the barrels that the Plump Helmets are being stored in are also being used for seeds or some other thing and are thus in constant transit. I'm working on fixing that and trying a few other things, but I haven't had any luck in the past few hours.

Does temperature no longer kill units with cold? I settled in an arctic environment, hoping to freeze siegers/forgotten beasts to death, but I just had a werecougar turn in to a naked human and run across the map, covered only in slime, cat blood, and snow. But they didn't get any temperature problems. I have temperature turned on.

I thought it was maybe that too, might try setting up a food stockpile that can only hold plump helmets and link it to the still. I read something on the DF Forums saying it might be an issue with a Graphics Pack altering the raw files? No idea if that's even true but I'm seeing the same issue running with default ascii so I don't think that's the case.

According to the wiki, GCS should already be able to breed, unless Toady made a stealth change to them. The female needs to be uncaged, though. And decently tame, too, to avoid accidents. If you specifically want War (or Hunting) Giant Cave Spiders: data>save>[gcs region]>raw>objects>creature_subterranean, search for the giant cave spider entry, and add [TRAINABLE] after the [PET_EXOTIC] tag. Backup the txt doc before you edit it though, just in case. Report how it works, and how much FUN you're having with your new webby friends!

Does anyone know what worldgen parameters to edit to reduce the total number of Z-levels. Having 150 just kinda sucks.unicr0n posted:Are there any issues with brewing at the moment?

You could try queuing it up through the manager instead of the workshop, that often lets you do jobs you should be able to do but are showing up as red for some reason.

The Moon Monster posted:You could try queuing it up through the manager instead of the workshop, that often lets you do jobs you should be able to do but are showing up as red for some reason. So this works. I used the manager to queue up Brew drink from plant 5 times, noted that it was showing 3/5 in the manager. Checked the still, sure enough he's there making drinks, but trying to add it manually shows the text all in red and won't let me add the job. Strange, but at least I have a work around.

I hate so much how dwarves constantly cancel tasks or suspend furniture constructions, and never resume them. I check back in 30 minutes later to see how my bedrooms are coming along, only to found out I have to manually go through and un-suspend everything because a naked mole dog ran past a stockpile 20 min ago and caused 15 dwarves to cancel all their tasks. Is this part of the "job prioritization" arc that Toady mentions is coming up? Dwarves will perform their drat tasks better?

A bunch of the plugins are incompatible, but people have tried it and it works acceptably.

I deleted the burrow and was able to assign the task to the still. Re-created a burrow covering the area surrounding the still, checked the assign task menu and the option is red again.

Budget Dracula posted:Can forest titans swim? I want to let my dwarves out of their fort but not if he can just float around in a lake shooting fireballs all over them. Angry Diplomat posted:Most megabeasts seem to be perfectly content wading through, swimming across, or floating over water, in my experience. It also depends on what they're made of and possibly other factors. I tried flooding Hell with water and while the ash fiends seemed slightly put off by it, the blizzard wraiths didn't give a gently caress and the inferno demons just turned all of the water into steam. All of it. I thought for sure it would extinguish them. The Moon Monster posted:I'm pretty sure at one point water that made it to hell just instantly evaporated, don't know if that's still the case. It's got to do with DF 'physics'. Creatures made out of certain 'materials' like fire and ice require certain temperatures to survive; because Toady insists on doing 'realistic' temperature transfer that means an ice creature will be constantly melting or a fire creature constantly cooling down. Because of this the creature would, of course, die out in moments when thermodynamics does its thing. So Toady's piled on a hack that makes the creature constantly generate the 'required' temperature for its survival - which has the lovely side effect of making fire creatures essentially an infinite well of heat. If you dropped one at the bottom of the ocean, it WOULD evaporate all the water in there, given enough time. It's basically related to the 'unkillable undead' bug we had some versions back, when Toady updated to the 'realistic' creature health system - a creature needs certain organs to survive, undead don't HAVE those organs so they can't live, Toady hacked them to work without those bits and ended up with undead creatures that were literally unkillable.

If you dropped one at the bottom of the ocean, it WOULD evaporate all the water in there, given enough time. I think ocean water generates infinitely from the map edge. I once embarked by the sea within sight of an active volcano offshore, and the game immediately remembered, "oh, gravity exists" and had the water rush into it. In addition to lagging the gently caress out of everything and creating a ton of collapses, this created powerful currents that swept fish into the volcano. I stuck it out for quite a while out of curiosity, but the ocean's water level never diminished - it eventually sealed the volcano with obsidian and immediately replenished to 7/7 water on every tile. e: Now I'm wondering if a freestanding stone overhang held up by ice pillars would collapse due to heat melting the supports when fire demons/megabeasts passed through. Might make an interesting emergency failsafe for hellmining. Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Aug 8, 2014 |

This is the second fort where no migrants have come after 2 years (New wolrd gen). Could I just not be attracting them? The dwarf liason informed me that an evil army was wiping out entire towns but surely I couldnt have just started the game and then suddenly everyone is wiped out? Also a hunter got terrified of a wombat, ran up a tree and fell out of it to his death within 5 minutes of starting. I'm trying to throw him off of a waterfall at the moment but dwarfs wont dump their fellows bodies. Faithless fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Aug 8, 2014 |

Worlds in the new version can very easily have their civilizations wiped out, leading to no migrants, because when a siege occurs, the defenders always automatically lose. Next time, try generating a world with a shorter history; this makes it more likely that a genocide has not occurred.

Bitter Mushroom posted:Call me I can't remember if ballista bolts drop down from their initial z-level, and even if you killed a whale its corpse would be out there in the ocean. Even if you trained swimming by repeatedly dunking dwarves into 4/7 water, I don't know if they'd path out to any waterbound corpses and drag them back. What you need to do is be in a place where the ocean freezes during the winter and build some dams to create an area you can seal off while the sea creatures are in it, then pump the water out to air-drown whatever is in the trap.

I was hoping the corpse might wash onto land naturally, rather than sink, and then could be laboriously dragged to a butchers by a dwarf. I imagine hauling a whale is about 100 times as slow as dragging a golden statue, which is already pretty drat slow. Your method sounds good, very dwarfy and dangerous to those involved. challenge accepted. edit: drat I just saw fargo's post. I reckon I can do it better than that, although wardogs fighting sharks is an excellent uh feature of the fort. buckets of buckets fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Aug 8, 2014 |

I need some help with setting dwarf labors. Every time I start the game up I start looking at assigning labors for my dwarves, and then get paralyzed by having too many choices and quit. I'm just looking for a guide that makes sure I have essential jobs covered, and that the jobs actually get handled rather than guy who is supposed to be making beds running off to haul poo poo around. Basically, what should I do with my first 7 dwarves, and what other jobs should I be sure are covered as I get new dwarves/expand my fortress. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll keep going "these two guys can mine, this guy can cut wood, this guy can make things out of wood, and oh God I have no idea what these other jobs are and what I need to have covered. I quit."

Otherwise go to legends mode (you might need to copy your save and abandon any in-progress game) and hit 'p' to 'export map/gen info'. Next, go to the 'regionN-world_gen_param.txt' in the df main folder and copy/paste everything to the end of 'world_gen.txt' in data/init. Then go to the advanced world gen, select the last option on the list, hit 'e' for 'Enter advanced parameters', and change 'Use History Seed' from 'Yes' to 'Random'.

Someone a couple pages back was asking about a newby world to help get themselves started. This one has basically everything you need: clay, sand, trees, a river, shitloads of soil, iron and flux for steel, etc, and all in a relatively safe area. Pretty much the only thing it lacks is a volcano but those are hard to get where you want them and always involve a huge rear end mountain which causes its own problems. The zip has a picture showing you where to embark to get the good stuff. If anybody uses this, let me know if it causes a problem. Because it's a regeneration of a world I already have, it MIGHT try to include slade colossuses, which you probably don't have. I've also included the worldgen seeds and whatnot in case it doesn't work. Just follow the instructions above and also replace the creature seed with a random one too. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2063471/newby%20world.zip *EDIT* It was generated in 40.04, so if you do need to regenerate it, you'll probably have to use that version to do so. You can then copy the save over to 40.06 or whatever if you want to. *EDIT2* No, no you cannot copy worlds to new versions anymore. That sucks. Guess I'll wait until the weekly patches stop before bothering again. Gus Hobbleton fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Aug 9, 2014 |
