Did you guys COMPLETELY miss that this will now allow dwarves to get drunk, hop on top of tables, and fight until one of them falls?

Urist Is in a pretty good mood lately. He watched a good bar fight recently. He took a masterwork pine chair to the face recently. He admired a fine chair lately.

First Question: Speaking of bar fights, what the heck is this "Misc. Object User" skill that my military dwarves sometimes accumulate? Is that when they decide to grab a llama wool left sock and hit someone with it? Second question: I gave my dwarves the "eat sentient" ability in the raws, and started a fort. They butchered and ate a human that I killed, but when a Minotaur came by, they still ignored its body completely. How can I get them to butcher and eat a minotaur? Does it count as a titan or something, and that changes the category? If I kill a minotaur, by god, I want a Minotaur Skull Totem to show for it! Third Question: If I change [CHILD:12] to [CHILD:4] in the dwarve's raws, that will make children turn into useful adults at age 4, right?

1.) If they're military dwarves, it's usually from that shield they've got in their other hand, but yeah that's the gist of it. 2.) I dunno. Did they both die in similar circumstances? Is the corpse close enough to the butcher's shop? About the only per-creature difference I can see is that humans have [INTELLIGENT] while minotaurs get [CAN_LEARN][CAN_SPEAK]. Perhaps the entity thing is bugged that it only recognizes the first one? 3.) YES !!

reading posted:Third Question: If I change [CHILD:12] to [CHILD:4] in the dwarve's raws, that will make children turn into useful adults at age 4, right? yes. it's really useful to do something like that. I think Masterwork bumps down the age where they become adults to 7. I've seen tons of posts on Reddit and the Bay12 forums consisting of 'if you do that you are promoting PEDOPHILIA in your forts!' and it's really funny to me because they think making the dwarf kids grow up at a younger age means they are still kids that are working and loving like adults (instead of you know just growing up faster) and they get really mad about it.

Well, 1. 14 is still a bit young... 2. If I recall the raws, wouldn't changing the child age literally cause them to grow to adulthood in that many years?

Has anyone else run into a problem when declaring multiple enemies to be killed? I got invaded by some elves from a goblin civ and when I designated my 5 squads of all Legendary fighters they ran outside and then just milled around while the elves attacked them. I finally got one squad to fight back after sending them all away and trying to attack with just one squad.

I'm pretty sure the KILL command interacts a little oddly with Dwarves' mono-maniacal need to fight the first thing they engage to the death before picking another target; I suspect from my own experiences that using the move/station command is a lot more reliable for group fights than the kill command.

I use the move command near what I want dead to get everyone massed up (far away enough that they won't aggro obviously) then a second move command into the enemy once the squad is all together. I use kill sometimes when I need something chased down though (titan running around) and it works okay for that.

Is there any way to stop dwarves from taking away barrels/bins from a stockpile in order to bring new items there? I keep getting spammed with planting cancellations because they're taking away the entire barrel of seeds instead of just bringing their seed back and dumping it in.

Forbid barrels from your seed stockpile. Bags can hold quite a lot of seeds as it is, so you don't even need the barrels to put the bags in. You'll still get some cancel spam, but not quite as much.

It's a one step forward and just over one step back, the barrel/bin hoovering thing. It's utterly neato when it works, but when the volumes are small, you really have to think twice about stockpile arrangements and whether to use bins at all.

The only non-quantum stockpiles I make are for the initial "move poo poo out of the cart"*, but wood and stone and poo poo just hang out until I get quantums setup (which is usually pretty quick). * Also food/drink stuffs.

On the subject of barrels and bins, I've got an issue with dwarves in my military not picking out armor pieces and weapons out of the bins in the armor/weapon stockpiles that are inside their own barracks. Is this just a bug, or is it part of the experience to find the one option I haven't enabled/disabled? If it helps, I'm using the latest version of the game that uses the Phoebus tileset, and my experience with DF is this is my first fort that's gotten into several years in length without it either failing or me abandoning the fort for reasons. The wiki's been a huge help, but I'm stumped in this regard.

That's handled by the (currently broken) racks and stands. If you let them decide, soldiers will beeline straight for the best choices instead of the nearest ones, adjusted by the current position of the stars and the moon.

Just had 3 dwarfs die in unknown circumstances. One alone in his room, one on the staircase, one pushing a minecart around. No indication of how they died, no notification to say they have died by vampire or old age. Any ideas?

Engrave a slab to their memory, it'll say what their immediate cause of death was at least.

Soap is necessary in the current version for a completely effective, efficient fort. Lots and lots and lots and lots and LOTS of soap. I pretty much just accept that a few deaths are inevitable, because soap-making seems to be such a MASSIVE pain in the rear end; about half the time the dwarves don't seem to recognize the ingredients are on hand, for some reason, so I can't even queue the job up. My dwarves also happily stole the soap from the hospital in order to take baths, so no one got their wounds cleaned, although at least being clean lowers their chance for infection in the first place. C'est la DF.

Strudel Man posted:Nothing cowardice-specific, sadly. He was fairly badly injured in an encounter with an orcish thief. I guess the coward bit could be a masterwork addition as well, but it's difficult to tell. This came up earlier in the thread and yeah I'm pretty sure it's a masterwork thing since so many of its mechanics rely on using the syndrome system.

I'm somewhat new to Dwarf Fortress and I'm having a ton of fun. I'm also having two major problems: a) animals keep starving in my fortress and dying and nobody is hauling their corpses away. I have a refuse, corpse, and animal stockpile as well as a butcher with "butcher things" on repeat. What am I missing? b) first year dwarven traders are here and when I go to trade with them no goods show up on my side of the menu, only things on his side. I made a bunch of stone goods + have some cut gems and it appears they were all hauled to the depot.

Another noob question: I've punched down to the water level of the caversn after cancelling all other mining. However, my dwarves still don't have a valid water source. Is it because there's no ramp to the water, or is it because mud does not count as a water source even though it's Water [7/7]? Pictures attached in case there's something I've missed.

Helps with the FPS too because you're not digging out vast areas just to stockpile stuff. My finished goods stockpiles would get gargantuan.

Huh. Is there some special requirement for plants to be, well, plantable? I finally embarked in a location that has some of the cold-weather fruits probably added by masterwork, boreal berries and such. But they don't appear on the list of crops I can raise. Also, are there any other such requirements for a biome to grow evil plants in the first place? That's actually what I was aiming for, to find and grow some black roses, but despite it being a 'sinister' tiaga, there were no glumprongs or any other evil plants. edit: Nor are any appearing when I embark over in a haunted broadleaf forest, instead. Hrm. edit2: Hey, found the evil plants AND them listed as plantable when I made a new world and embarked in a sinister swamp. Don't really get the reason for the difference, but at least it works.
