So I just started playing this again after a long while of putting it off. Getting used to the new updates. I still can't really figure out military that well, so there's that. Another issue I'm having is the game doesn't seem to want to pause for certain events that I think would be pretty significant, like one of my dudes turning into a werewombat. In the time it took me to read that message and find him I think he went through like 4 dwarves. Is there any way to force the game to pause on certain announcements?

An old shepherds trick was to skin stillborn lambs and put the skin on lambs rejected by their own mothers, and then the stillborn's mother would accept the rejected lamb.

I think for my next playthrough I will go full Necron Flayer. Nothing but fist fighting and wrestling for my dwarves, and they also wear the skin of their enemies. Just turned into nice sweaters and pants.

For the full effect, your wrestlers should spill out of strategic trap-doors into the fracas above. Unfortunately, I don't think katars/push-knives/sword-breakers/claws are available in the base game to REALLY go full Flayer, but that should be trivial to mod in.

It's a bit out of left field, but I think what they're saying is that if there is a sheep that was rejected by its mother, you can have it be accepted by another sheep that just had a stillborn baby. You take the skin of the stillborn and put it on the rejected sheep, and the mother will think it was her baby.

Yeah there's an option in data/init.announcements.txt that changes that; add 'P' to the BODY_TRANSFORMATION line and it'll pause when anything transforms (ie turns into a were creature).

I'd never heard of this either, but if true, well, I imagine the progression goes 'oh man, this one didn't make it, well waste not want not,' 'wait, apparently the mother still thinks of this as her kid based on the scent, huh,' and then mad farm science happens.

That's definitely a real thing that happens, yes. Duno if it's done so much these days, they might just rear the lamb artificially, but there are significant benefits to the ewe who lost her lamb as well as the orphan/reject. Any creature who had a rotten baby pop out of them is going to feel like poo poo and giving them something to focus on is half way to curing them. Get those mother hormones flowing.

Hand-raising a baby animal is a huge annoying pain in the rear end, much better to let a momma sheep do it.

I think my speardwarves are phasing through the wall and into the moat during training where they drown, is this something that can happen? Or is it some kinda MALIGNANT SPIRIT whisking my dwarves into the moat?

Will they still do that if you have a 2 thickness wall? I believe you can also use a layer of statues, since dwarfs will dodge into statues but won't otherwise path into them.

Are there any current LPs going? I see that Fogwall is done but I can't bookmark archived threads and there's no easy way to read a thread on mobile unless it is bookmarked.

Legends Viewer is good and there's also a tool called World Viewer that offers much of the same functionality but with some added benefits of its own.

Back to this game after a long long hiatus. Masterwork 40.24 -- a weremongoose invades! Dwarves panic and run in fear, but thankfully he was stunned for just a moment, just a fleeting moment, by a single glass serrated disk trap One single dwarf turns around and looks, and sees the weremongoose has tripped and fallen. "OH poo poo, LOOK GUYS, HE FELL DOWN! LITERALLY RIP HIM TO -PIECES-" And so they did. He was swarmed by 20 or more dwarves, who proceeded to rip him to pieces with their bare hands and teeth. They pinched his teeth out one by one. They ripped his fingers and toes off. One dwarf lady headbutted the weremongoose so hard that she hurt her neck, and had to go rest in the hospital. The refuse pile was stacked with dozens of fingers and teeth and toes of a weremongoose when it was all over. Fuckin' dwarves rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJpaDTQujMg

Got a question for you guys, Is it possible to bury dead dwarves from a reclaimed fort? I can't seem to find a way to do it, and I'm getting haunted EDIT: Actually I found his tomb. His body isn't in it, but it says he's the owner. Is this bugged or is this intentional? How to I bury this guy? DarkAvenger211 fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Oct 13, 2015 |

If you are unable to find a body, you could engrave a memorial slab for him, which also works to make things right.

I can't seem to find a way to do it, and I'm getting haunted He's the 'owner' so that's the tomb dwarves will haul the body parts to if they ever find them. You can go to the stocks menu through Z and find the corpses section and hit x (I think) to look at the whole list of corpses anywhere on the map. His body should be somewhere on that list then you can zoom to it from that menu. Alternatively just engrave a memorial slab.

Ah ok, thanks! I haven't set up a memorial before so we'll see how this works.

Just bear in mind I'm pretty sure you actually have to PLACE the slab somewhere (it's a building), and the haunting should stop pretty much immediately with a message to that effect as soon as its erected.

I really wish there was a way in vanilla dwarf fortress to just say "Hey engrave every dead guy not buried with a slab" so I could just pump em out thirty at a time. Whose got two thumbs and has a ton of industrial accidents? This guy.

wait what's this between my toesToady One posted:More stuffs done. Tested out a dwarf reading a necromancer's book in a fort mode library. Fun was had. Some more prompts for adv mode dancers. Allowed invading soldier/monster caps to be set in the init. Old bug fixed with occupancy for units pushed by flows. Etc. Should clarify that we haven't done animal barding-type armor yet -- just the clothing and armor for non-dwarves that can potentially join the fort or be traded with. Oh.
