I think stuff that is killed in real honest-to-goodness combat is automatically forbidden so you don't have idiot civilians running into combat for a sock. I may be mis-remembering, though, I haven't really played in a long time.

I haven't played in a while, and I've kind of got that itch again, but the memory of ungodly complicated medical and military setup just for very basic functions is giving me pause. That's not any better now, is it?

Medical setup? A chief MD, a dude with labors and a zone with a few beds. Military? Well, four dudes with training axes and leather jacks sparring around a weapon rack isn't that daunting of a task.

How do I change the embark cursor color? I'm slightly red-green colorblind, and when I'm using the site finder it shows the sites with green X's, the embark X cursor is a vague greenish orange and I cannot tell them apart at all. If I could just change the embark X cursor to a bright red or something, I could actually see it. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Oct 9, 2014 |

I think you can set the global colors to be different, so you didn't have any that were just red/green distinguished. I don't recall the syntax, though.

There's no reason to use training weapons unless you have absolutely zero metal weapons and nothing to make them with. And dwarves can't hurt each other with their weapons with sparring each other anymore.

The only thing more fun than making a wildly, unreasonably succesful fort based on stupid decisions is trying to tear it down. Keyword trying. I mean, I could just abandon the fort. I could just forbid all the food and drink. I could just dig a couple more levels down into the HFS and let demons take the fort instead. But all of that lacks the panache of setting up a unique little spot of hell in an otherwise happy, elf-infested glade. My halls are filled with rotting corpses. Vampires stalk the remaining populace. Clouds of dark miasma obscure what once were hospitals, and unhappy ghosts roam freely through the abandoned dining rooms and sleeping quarters. I'm actually starting to wonder if forts can have their own values for alignment, because my remaining legendary military dwarves (now returned to the civilian population) are completely unphased by anything; the miasma is causing little discontent, no one complains much about the ghosts...hell, there's a loving CAVE DRAGON that's decided to roost in one of the abandoned hospital rooms, open to the main hall, contentedly claiming it as its own little charnel house, and dwarves happily saunter right by it on errands without fuss. So now I have an evil fortress AND I reclaimed about 30 FPS! Now if only I could assign dwarves necromancy jobs.

I've spent the last couple of days generating worlds in the background, trying to find the perfect site for my military outpost. Flux, iron, all civs, and a Tower nearby. It's finally time. My dwarves have stopped in a snowed under forest, just north of a frozen stream. First step, clearcut some trees and build a palisade - I don't like the look of that Sasquatch.

But my stockpiles don't seem to be working right. Nobody's taking wood in from outside, and they haven't brought any more bins down to the foundry stockpiles despite having a max bins of several hundred and having spare bins in the furniture stockpile. :| edit: Hah. My fault on both. I was reserving bins, and I had accidentally turned off 'gather wood.' Strudel Man fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Oct 10, 2014 |

Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong? My minecart set up is a spiral running from the top area of my fort to the bottom. However it will not connect the two stops. This gives you an idea of what I'm going for, I'm sure i'm missing something really stupid here... 1st floor  2nd floor down...  3rd floor (and so on)  I think you can see what I'm attempting here... Thoughts? It's baffling me. I have other minecarts working on the same level but I seem to fail at multi level ramp minecarting. At one end (the bottom) my dwarfs seem to just fill the minecart over and over pointlessly. Faithless fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Oct 10, 2014 |

They are a construction and have to be built rather than carved.

The example on the wiki seems relevant:quote:Carving track corners into ramps is rather unintuitive and complicated. Since engraving tracks always requires two tiles to connect in a straight line as input, you have to give two separate designations for a single job: a track bit from the ramp tile to the "below" direction and another one to the wall of the "upward" direction.

Hate to drop stupid questions in here but I can't find an answer. Currently in a fortress and it's Winter of year two, yet to have gotten a single immigrant ever. I've exported things twice to the Dwarven caravan - not a lot, but enough. The wiki says that there's a 'hardcoded' wave early in year two, but I didn't get a thing. Did something change in 2014, or is this a bug? Never gone this long with no immigrants in the older versions.

There used to be two guaranteed waves of immigrants, but that was removed in the 2014-version (so all immigration is handled the same). Usually if you aren't getting immigrants, it means that goblins have conquered your civilization and there aren't any other forts that might send immigrants your way. If that was the case though, you shouldn't be getting dwarven caravans either, so I dunno. I can't think of a reason you'd get dwarven caravans but no dwarven migrants.

Just to make sure, are all the ramps the right ones? If I'm doing a multi level turning thing like that I usually get the direction wrong on a ramp somewhere and it mucks it all up. Like I'll build a NW instead of a NE somewhere.

AbrahamLincolnLog posted:migrant problems Have you, at any point, transferred a save or init file settings to a newer version? At one point, Toady added a new line to the init file giving a hard population cap. For a while, if that line was missing (maybe because you copied an init file over wholesale), the hard cap was assumed to be zero, preventing all immigration. I'm pretty sure that this was fixed to assume a higher value than 0 somewhere along the line, but it's one more thing to look in to.

ARE YOU loving STOKED FOR SOME TOAD NEWSToady One posted:So far we've got plant gathering zones that renew gathering jobs, all gathering jobs now pick up usable item spatter on the ground in a 3x3 square, and gather jobs first process growths from a shrub and then only pick the shrub if the shrub itself is usable. Since there are a variety of growths that can be grabbed at one time, I'm also experimenting with multi-item hauls, though that hasn't moved beyond the gather job yet. There'll probably need to be an upgrade to zones at some point that allow them to handle z-coords and cover more space, but that's a little out of scope for this time. Next I'd like to allow dwarves to pick growths from trees, which of course will require some kind of stepladder or other tool if the fruit is a z-level above the ground.
