neogeo0823 posted:What?? Is there any easy way to transfer the contents of all my barrels to rock pots? Easy? Pfft. But there is a way! Step 1: create a dump zone Step 2: designate all barrels for dumping Step 3: individually select each barrel with 'k' from the main menu, and un-mark it for dump (leaving its contents designated to dump) All of the stuff in all of the barrels will then be dumped into a dump, leaving you with empty barrels sitting in stockpiles. Step 4: While paused, un-mark your dumped stuff and mark your barrels for dumping, which will result in a pile of dumped, forbidden barrels in your dump zone and your goods awaiting pickup to be returned to stockpiles in rock pots. At this point, simply leave all barrels forbidden and they will never be used, and just do not build any more.

Note: once you have all the poo poo marked for dump, you can just do 'autodump" from dfhack unless you really like seeing dwarves run back and forth.

So... there seems to be a completely passive Ogre in my kitchen. Just... hanging out. Dwarves don't notice it, even use the same square. I just... what?

Had the same thing happen with troglodytes who swam in. They just hung out, investigated our digs, the dwarves ignored 'em.

My mission to have manipulator completely replace Dwarf Therapist is well underway! Lethosor was a boss and started off with batch editing, and I've gone on to add custom profession templates and "Current Job" as a detail column option. You can either save a profession by selecting a dwarf and hitting Shift-P, which will save a plain text file to "DF/professions/Profession" with the labors enabled. Alternatively you can manually add files here and add the tokens you want. "NAME Something" will set the dwarves profession name if present, and MASK will only apply the specified labors and leave the rest alone (while the default is to clear all labors and apply only whats in the file).   Hopefully we can get this out in the next release or two.

After tinkering with that hive wasp mod that is lining up with Masterwork a bit, I can't recommend it, it's super unstable - worldgen crashes about 3 times out of 4 for me with it enabled. It also looks like a bunch of monty haul sillyness really, it's kind of all over the map. Maybe in a few months it'll have its poo poo together better. I was hoping for some kind of low tech civ that was, y'know, wasp like, but that thing is kind of all over the map tech-wise.

neogeo0823 posted:What?? Is there any easy way to transfer the contents of all my barrels to rock pots? No, it's all dumpy dumpy dump dump stuff again, but there's one trick to occupy barrels to make way for pots: get a sweet pod crop and make tons of syrup. That reaction only ever accepts barrels, and your dwarves won't eat the stuff raw. You also get a nifty pile of trade goods for the next non-elf merchant that rolls by. StrangeAeon posted:So... there seems to be a completely passive Ogre in my kitchen. Just... hanging out. Dwarves don't notice it, even use the same square. Ooh, I've had a few trolls like that.

Well if you're going to that trouble you might as well just keep them and cook the syrup because syrup/egg/lard/beef is pretty much the breakfast of loving dwarven champions. e: For people stubbornly playing 0.34 because you like Masterwork/have FPS problems, did you know that dfhack/prospect works BEFORE embarking, and can tell you whether or not you have sand on that embark (with some caveats) Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Also embark-tools with sand enabled can show you without even using "prospect all". Both work in 40.24.

I actually liked that, but all the goofy poo poo with giving all of your civ members any particular bullshit special ability you want (fire breath,web spray, paralyzing gas what the loving gently caress) seemed pretty monty haul, plus they just feel way too tech/magic heavy for what is supposed to be some bugs that live in the caverns  I'm really annoyed, I switched back to 0.34 to mess with Masterwork for a while and there's such a tremendous FPS difference - my forts stay pegged at 150 fps with all sorts of biomes, but with the new version my FPS seems to just go in the toilet way too quickly regardless of biome, but most particularly if there's aboveground growing stuff. Something has to be majorly hosed up, I can't see the biome changes being THAT much more math.

i think there would be a lot of room for weird mutation poo poo like that if they just made it more consistent and based a lot of it on different types of venom when stinging things or something instead of having them belch out gasses and whatever the gently caress else. being able to grow their own weapons is also kinda unique, and i like the weird summoning poo poo they can do with their religious structures.

If I'm using autolabor in DFhack and I draft some dwarves into the military, will DFhack stop messing with them? I'm picking up where I left off last night, and I didn't actually consider that until just now.

Anyone know a reason my DF would play normally and fine, with a good FPS and all, but once or twice a minute it will freeze up for a couple of seconds before carrying on like normal? It's not completely beyond tolerating but it's really annoying, and my PC is certainly powerful enough for this game when I'm in a 3x3 brand new fort. e; Actually, on further observation, it seems that after the brief pause the game will run faster for a moment, and eyeballing it it looks like it wants to catch up to where it's supposed to be.

Really hard to find a site when the entire world's ocean is evil and that awful shade of orange. My eyes refuse to focus on the screen. Thanks, The Suicidal Water! I just wanted a savage good tropical moist broadleaf forest with some metals and unicorns, is that so much to ask? Edit: and speaking of evil, I'm having a lot of trouble generating worlds with any evil and good biomes. are they more rare than they used to be, or am I doing it wrong? Is there anything I can tinker with in worldgen? Prop Wash fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Feb 25, 2015 |

You can turn up the minimum number of good/evil tiles in worldgen settings yes. IMO it's much better to have a lot of varied small clusters of good/evil than a huge swathe of a single good/evil biome though, because of how their contents will vary. There is A LOT of luck and patience involved in getting a lot of either type. This new thing with designating activity zones for plant/fruit gathering is super wonderful, I think it's one of the nicest new features. e: plant/fruit gathering is RIDICULOUSLY productive, I can't really see Toady leaving it this way because dang why bother to farm?
