Splode posted:I guess considering the big stone walls, it sort of makes sense the only thing they can hear is someone literally hammering away on the opposite side of the wall. Doesn't explain trees falling but I guess dwarves hate natural noises so it disturbs them. When a dwarf fells a tree properly, the screams can be heard throughout the embark.

I'm trying to pierce an aquifer for the first time, using the double-slit method, and I'm not seeing a layer drain into the layer below it. The topmost layer that I drained worked fine -- I pumped out the slits, dug the stairs below the now-dry lower slit, and then the top layer drained and I was able to wall it in. Repeating the procedure for the next layer, though, I'm not seeing the now-uppermost layer drain. I have a two Z-levels of up/down stairs atop each other, and both are staying at 7/7. I can pump out the top one again, but I don't think that'll be enough to let me wall it out, and I didn't have to do that for the previous layer. My understanding is that if I have 2 stories of stairs atop each other (both in aquifer layers), the upper one should drain out into the lower one leaving me a workable 1/7 or so on the upper area. Is that not the case? I'm running 40.11, FWIW. Edit: I'm now seeing the same thing on another embark in the same world, except now even the top level isn't draining into the second. Have I maybe hit a bug? I've never done anything with aquifers before... I also hit a bug where I had a repeating job on a carpenter workshop, marked it for deconstruction, stopped the removal, and then the workshop got stuck in a state where it was waiting for a carpenter to construct, but the carpenter was still cranking out the blocks from the repeating job. It continues to be the case after saving and reloading, so I'll probably file that tomorrow. Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Sep 11, 2014 |

I'm having some trouble with the military. I ordered my dwarves to kill a goblin during a siege. After they killed it, they are all just standing around its corpse doing nothing. Orders to move the squad, send them to kill other goblins a bit away, or even to make them inactive result in them doing nothing but standing around. How do I get them to move again?

Here is a trick that probably most of you don't know: As soon as you embarked, assign a manager. As long as the fortress has less than 20 dwarves - iirc - the manager will not interrupt it's job and doesn't need a study to work. And using the manager is just so much better. The quickest way to access the manager is U-M-Q. At that point you can start typing the item you want to build, and after enter you can input the amount you want built. The manager will automatically assign it to the appropiate workshop and life is so much easier.

I think the manager still gets upset if he doesn't have an office, even with only 7 dwarves. I'm surprised he'll still process jobs without one, that's good to know! Another nice thing about the manager is that you can profile your workshops. This lets me set the workshops to only be usable by dwarves with some skill, and then I can leave masonry/carpentry/mechanics enabled on all my dwarves, so they all chip in with building constructions and loading traps.

He gets a bit upset, but not enough to cause any problem by the point you hit the 20 dwarf mark. Which should be the second wave.

I think you're all forgetting that all your manager needs is an assigned chair stuck somewhere indoors. That's it. That's all the "office" he needs. The office room can literally be 1x1.

Excelzior posted:I think you're all forgetting that all your manager needs is an assigned chair stuck somewhere indoors. That's it. That's all the "office" he needs. Yes but here is the thing. After 20 he interrupts his job and goes to the chair and completes the manager order before going back. Before 20 he doesn't do that, he will do his manager work while doing something else, thus there is no need for a room. e: Also streamlining man. That's a chair and a table that would be much better used for a dining hall.

Why would you need a table to do office work? Also you can probably have the office chair share space with the dining hall if you want to.

Manager do this: If you have one assigned, you can create a new order with U-M-Q You can type in what you want. Let's say you want 30 doors. You type in rock doors, input 30 and the manager will automatically create those jobs at all available workshops, Basically you don't have to Q over a workshop and task every item indiviudally. e: How can you run 150 dwarf fortress and not go crazy without a manager

Maybe I need to learn more dfhack.

A dwarf is dumb and will prefer to eat at an office chair he owns than the common dining room. If his office doesn't have a table he'll get a bad thought about the lack of tables. Any dwarf that has an office but not a private dining room should get a table in his office.

J-M-Q is the path I use too. Didn't know you could get there from Unit screen. Have no experience using dfhack for workflow or some of the other fixes like siege weapons, will give it a go though now that it's finally out for Linux. Especially if it has a 'cut all gems' function because that's the least intuitive thing I have right now that I'm constantly in need of.

Dashticle posted:J-M-Q is the path I use too. Didn't know you could get there from Unit screen. Basically all you have to do is q over a workshop, dfhack "gui/workflow", and then you have everything you need presented to you. Trying around a bit and you figured it out. You should also bind gui/workflow to a key if you are going to use it more often. Which you should because workflow is literally the best thing.

Subjunctive posted:What job does it unpause, though? AIUI you have to have a job for it to manage, and I don't know start a job that isn't gem-specific. No, I am not ding that. You just use workflow on any cut gem job, and that can be turned into "Cut any available" gem, or something, iirc. Let me try it out quickly. e: Okay, here it how it works in detail. 1. Go to any Jewler Workshop and create a Cut Gem job for any gem. You don't even need one. Just don't unpause the game. 2. Set the job to repeat. 3. Select the job and dfhack "gui/workflow", without the "" 4. Type A and select Cut gem of any material 5. Set your limits however you want. Set them high if you just want all of your gems cut. Done, this workshop will now cut any uncut gem that is available to you. This is by the way the single most usefull thing after managers. Stuff like making charcoal and smelting iron is so much easier, and the entire micromanagement is removed. Same goes for beds and barreles, etc. Try to get used to it, and it will make you happy. While you work in the GUI you can press S to bring up a quick overview over all your workflow jobs with graphs and all. Michaellaneous fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Sep 12, 2014 |

Has the initial goblin rush been buffed recently? I haven't played in a couple of years but goblins are running in and buttfucking my dwarfs in about a year or less every time. In the last game I played they showed up in 6 months, ran through about 24 stonefall traps and killed my 7 dwarfs. It goes without saying none of my settlers can fight for poo poo. Is it just bad luck or has this changed big time?

No I downloaded it just yesterday. I'm gonna start a new world and try again from scratch. This time I'll go all out to make sure I survive. It's just weird, in the versions a couple of years ago it was almost impossible for goblins to kill more than a couple of people.

Don't make stonefall traps? Or if you do find some way to control the kind of stone they get loaded with. Otherwise you just showered those goblins with pumice and exfoliated the poo poo out of them on their merry murdering way. Cage traps are preferable because then you get free military training later. The most efficient trap is the 1-tile wide entranceway with pits on either side and x10 wooden training spears weapon trap. code:
