mornhaven posted:It used to work when choosing an embark site, but before assigning skills. Boo that's a shame  Is there a hotkey or a way to turn off being able to see multiple Z-levels while in the game? I love how it looks for just playing, but it can make digging channels on the top level a huge pain in the rear end sometimes.

cyxx posted:How do people feel about dfhack autolabor? It feels kind of cheaty, but when I think about it I pretty much do the same thing on a smaller scale. If I don't have anyone with woodcrafting to finish building the craftsdwarf workshop I enable the labor, let him build it, and turn it off. I haven't played a full game with it on but seems like it'll be kind of nice to minimize idle dwarfs and get their lazy dwarf asses to do some planting. I've tried it a couple of times, but I always find there are jobs that aren't getting done. I always end up going back to managing it with Nirruden's Custom Professions in Dwarf Therapist. Just throw all new migrants into Hauler - Peasant, and promote them out based on skill or need. I get the idea that I could probably tweak autolabor settings enough that eventually it would work well for how I play, but sinking that much time into automating something I spend barely any time on already doesn't make much sense. I only care about minimizing idlers very early on, later mostly I want people ready to do their specialized job when it is available, not tied up doing something else. I used to use autobutcher a lot more but it doesn't seem to prioritize killing gay or asexual animals like it should, so I've also switched to using Dwarf Therapist to select animals I want butchered. Also Dwarf Therapist is great in how easy it is to add Dwarves to military squads. You have to make the squad in game, but once it exists you can pick your draftees in Therapist. Basically Dwarf Therapist is awesome.

Procedurally generate gaming. That's the most Dwarf Fortress thing I've ever heard of. I hope he implements RPGs and spends a year developing out the adventure mode playing of them. This is why the UI sucks, okay? And it's worth it.

Whoa hey remember me griping 6 months ago that you can't change the timer on regional interactions beyond WEEKLY? Someone read the string dump closer than me and saw DAILY, MONTHLY and YEARLY getting added in the mix. We should be able to make the evil biome resurrection not suck rear end now!

Yeah, I love workflow, and this solves some instances where it can't figure out the output of the job, or just sees it as "bags of any powder." I still need to level up my understanding of how to link stockpiles to shops to force material flows, though.

Anyone happen to know a way to force a civ member to go pick up new clothing? Playing a Masterwork Warlock fort and a raised a dude from the dead, but now he won't wear clothes and it is causing him sadbrains. I dug around in the help for dfhack but nothing stands out (cleanowned does not help, fixnaked removes the unhappy thought but doesn't actually make him go get/wear new clothes, which is preferable)

Can guard dogs (in a 1x1 pasture) see through fortifications? Wondering if I can put my watch dogs one z-level above my draw bridges so that they're not just sitting there waiting to get mauled by something.

From the language following that little snippet, they are not so much gone as replaced with something else; i.e., dwarfs will still randomly loaf about instead of feeding a starving patient or prisoner, but now they will do so in a tavern or temple instead of in the meeting hall. At least that is my reading of it.

As long as its one dwarf satisfying his needs rather then one dwarf going "Hey gently caress work! Who is with me?" and knocking the entire fort's production to a standstill its an improvement.

So I checked the DF forums and apparently startdwarf doesn't work in DFHack because someone just forgot to put 'start_dwarf_count' in symbols.xml in the last release. I looked around some more and it's kind of weird how there aren't any options out there for editing/messing with your initial embark. I don't know if it's a pain in the rear end to mod or what, but I would've figured that there'd be some kind of "Do whatever the hell you want before embarking" plugin/script/mod by now. Being able to set how many dwarves you want to start with seems like it'd make for some fun challenges/scenarios, like starting with 15 military dudes in the middle of a horrible evil biome or with just 2-3 dwarves and seeing how far you can get, etc. Oh well, just gonna have to wait for DFHack to update to 40.24 I guess.

I suggest not leaving it intact, especially since you get free wood out of the deal.
