Anyone else running into a bug where certain jobs stop repeating in workshops? Jobs not marked as suspended, but just never go active. Couple of examples like my Carpenter who does nothing but carpentry not making barrels even though the barrel making job wasn't suspended, I have plenty of wood, not an issue with burrows or linked stockpiles, etc etc. All of a sudden I'm getting miasma everywhere because food wasn't getting barreled. Also noticed my Magma Glass Furnace doing the same thing. And my glassmaker has no other job. Have plenty of bags of sand and pearlash. I'm on 40.24, but I was having the same thing happen in 40.23. I feel like it may be a bug with workflow, because it is always jobs that are being managed by workflow that go wonky. Edit: Yeah, I think workflow is bugged. I did "workflow unlimit-all" and things are working again.... by which I mean somehow it still remembers the limits I just told it to erase, and now it is unsuspending orders and they are being worked. Well, some of them. I think I'm just going to consider this fortress a loss. Sub Rosa fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Jan 24, 2015 |

The DFHack people got impatient and released 40.24-r0 - the same one I stuck out a while ago. However, this means that Mifki updated TWBT to match. You can expect a current version of the Starter Pack soon as well.

Has .40.x killed off all kobolds forever? I haven't had a single Kobold thief in multiple forts, multiple worlds, since the July release; come to think of it, no Goblin snatchers either. Sieges and ambushes started to reappear more frequently when he fixed the "stuck armies" bug, but still no thieves. Plenty of FBs and weres tho.

I had a .40.23 kobold theft. They do seem to be more rare. Haven't had a goblin snatcher since the version before. I've been getting besieged, raided, beasted, and were'd like crazy though. Not too many titans. One hydra, two dragons.

I've seen plenty of kobolds, but I haven't had much luck attracting goblins. Probably just too impatient to wait for their arrival.

This is just a hunch, but I haven't noticed kobolds in any of my games for quite a while myself, so I think they might be getting killed off in worldgen. Kobolds are wimps after all.

Confirming that goblins and kobolds work just fine in .23, as I have gotten some in my first year on my most recent fortress. In that same fortress, I have also been blessed with 7 fisherdwarf migrants.

Looks like the startdwarf command in DFHack is one of the ones that still needs to have an address found  I just want to embark with huge/tiny military armies and gently caress around, why must it be so hard.

VDay posted:Looks like the startdwarf command in DFHack is one of the ones that still needs to have an address found This comment reminded me of a thought I have been mulling over. Would there be any interest in an embark sharing service where someone finds an embark they like and posts it for someone else to pick it up and do something with it? That something could be as vague as, "get it stared," or as specific as "make a steel equipped squad," and so on. Such a thing probably already exists somewhere on bay12 or elsewhere, since I know there are world generation services and embark location services.

Can I transfer a world I make in 40.23 into my 40.24 folder? Or does .24 need a new world/game to not screw something up?

My understanding is that they are save compatible, and there should be no problems. I think the last save-incompatible version was ten or more versions back.

Yeah, they're totally compatible. It's good practice to check file_changes.txt to see what your raws are missing, though.

maybe bonghits will untangle these devlogsToady One posted:The new entertainment stuff is coming into focus... been reading a lot to try and make a good first attempt, though categorization is difficult in many cases. As usual, everything that follows is subject to change. There'll be seven new generic skills governing the new stuff (dancing as well as music which sits over singing and 4 instrument skills), and the poetry skill that has been sitting in the code will also come to use. We're using "poet", "bard" and "dancer" as professional names for the moment. I'd prefer to generate those roles, but I won't have the framework for it until later, so the relevant visitors'll be more or less like the world gen hero roles for now. oh sweet jesus I was kidding when I said "I'm looking forward to the procedural poetry generator"

Finally we will get to read the contents of those books that litter the legends, and they will make no goddamned sense but only because we are too dense to recognise their masterful wordcraft.

Defense design question. The picture oval room is going to be my magma-fired industry room. The stairwell on the right leads up 120 layers to the rest of my fortress. I will obviously put floor hatches on the levels above this one which I can lock to keep out the potential magma-swimming building destroyer, but hopefully the vertical tunnel there (which will house a drawbridge) combined with locked doors on both sides of the horizontal tunnels will be enough to contain anything that might swim up through the magma and harass my industry dwarfs. What would be the best way to limit the damage of such critters? Closing off the area while I muster my military and then sending them in to exact vengeance after everyone locked inside has already died is effective at preserving the rest of the fortress but a clearly undesirable outcome given that it assumes my legendary workers will die in the process. Should I perhaps move my barracks nearer to the crafting hall and station a squad in the room, or is there some way to keep magma-swimming critters from getting into the works? To clarify, this room is designated directly above a patch of the magma sea and my plan right now is to just channel tiles for workshop magma access. Any advice would be appreciated!

my dad posted:Nothing can destroy a hatch from below. Use this to your advantage. Yes, this is why floor hatches above this hall are a guaranteed way to contain any threat that swims up through the magma. But that would trap my magma workers inside with the beast. It is a last resort that I am definitely going to build, but not an ideal solution. I am looking for some way to limit the damage of such magma swimmers or, ideally, prevent them from entering the fortress at all.

You're only going to need to fill the chamber with magma once, right? Don't fill the chamber directly, use pumps instead (just make sure you don't flood the fortress since the magma is going to be pressurized, I suggest having a depressurizer at the entrance of the chamber). Once the chamber is full, build a floor or a locked hatch over the pump's intake. With a clever arrangement of tunnels, you should be able to deconstruct the pumps without risking a flood. But the absolutely easiest way to ensure safety is: Gibbo posted:Position the holes so that parts of the Magma Forge workshop cover them

Does a Large game world (not embark site, the actual world) impact performance negatively compared to a medium/small one? Like is the game going to be doing a ton more calculations in the background or anything for the rest of the world? Or is it just the embark site that really matters?
