markus_cz posted:Ideally, you would first create a fortress and build a library in it, then retire the fortress and use adventurers to bring books in. And you can switch between the fortress and adventurers however the LP demands. Dammit, I even have a title. "Dwarf Fortress Libarians - Knowlage run Armok" I think I may have to do this once the version gets a bit more stable. I guess it might be an idea to run a few fortresses in fort mode to get more places to hunt for artifacts.

Really liking the small changes to stuff in Fortress mode, like being able to set priority levels to mining designations, the "Do this now!" button in workshops to force your dwarves to rush important stuff ahead of whatever else you have, having workshop orders tell you what's lacking if you can't make an item.. Someone told me that someone told them that getting your dwarves to use archery stuff is easier but I haven't tested that yet. Also I've got a bunch of travelling adventures in my tavern, "The Spongy Maggot" sharing stories and talking to my dwarves, it's pretty rad. Planning to build the a giant library soon!

Glass of Milk posted:Is there a way to manually save other than exiting? I lost an embark to a crash You can't manually save without DFHack, but there is an init option for making a save on embark in addition to the seasonal autosaves. I still haven't gotten through a single season without crashing though, which is extra sad because literally the first site I picked has a brook, soil, no aquifer, surface and deep metals, flux stone and surface layer lignite and gypsum veins. Was it possible to look up a worlds random seed somehow so I can attempt this location again in a future version? vvv e: Yes, but it's not doing me much good when it crashes persistently, and I didn't think you could just copy region folders between different game versions.

Load up the world in legends and export the map and gen info. You'll get the random seeds in the worldgen info file, which you can use to recreate that world.

My current fort's civ has a lot of interesting artifacts. There's the solid stone guitar which must be played with a bone plectrum, the colossal fuckoff pipe organ that has over four hundred pipes, and the block of wood. It's just... it's just a block. You take the block and you hit it, and it makes a noise, and the noise is art. This civ has the dwarfiest music ever.

nielsm posted:How many tiles does that pipe organ take up? One? I don't know. IIRC it requires stone, metal, glass, and ceramic to make. I just started this fort so I don't have a furnace industry quite yet, and I don't even know how to make ceramic. I'm definitely going to try to build one of those fuckers in the middle of a giant ominous temple though. e:  Another world had some sort of dwarven trombone/tuba hybrid that could be carved out of a single piece of wood

Pictured here, a thrilling performance by a visiting human bard with a bone triangle and three nerds with imaginary instruments in the 'Fierce Mushrooms' tavern. The audience includes the diplomat from the Mountainhomes (still lazing around after three seasons) and a visiting human warrior. Also note one of my miners standing in the corner, telling a story to nobody in particular.

So how do I get my dwarves to start writing? I get how to make scrolls and books (I think), but the actual writing? Does it happen on its own? Does it need someone to be told a story and decide to put it to print?

Meanwhile, in the old version, I'm here noticing a lot of "X cancels Y: Interrupted by manager" spam. Like, I get the amusing workplace commentary the game is trying to make, here, but I don't really see why the game would be causing this, until I get a death notice and check the announcements. Whoooooops.

Seeing all these books makes me want a cheese making system. Iden Copperpools is a legendary wheel of sow milk cheese created in Bannerplanes and aged from Felsite 149 to Diorite 154. It is amber in color with a hard, crumbly texture. It has a sharp, nutty flavor with a fruity aftertaste. It is best paired with apricot wine and mandrill spleen. It menaces with veins of green mold. In early winter of 154 Iden Copperpools was stolen by the rat man Snodub Barrowhalves.

Sheets are the base object. They turn into quires, which go into books, or combine with rollers to turn into scrolls.

I made a brown recluse woman adventurer and she sang a marching song for a local lord. The dude's three guards all jumped forward and started horribly beatboxing to accompany her singing. The lord stood around in silence, watching his idiot guards buzz and splutter horrendously while the spider lady studiously ignored them and tried to keep singing. Afterwards all the guards agreed they enjoyed the song, and that it was terrifying ( ).The brown recluse woman went outside, climbed nimbly onto the roof, and yelled at her god to ask him how he was feeling. She then felt greatly gratified to have communed with her deity, so she went inside and took a nap. When she woke up, she realized she had somehow spun webs everywhere in her sleep and people were getting tangled up in them, so she yelled loudly about friendship while all the web-bound guards cheerily agreed with her. Update owns.

So when dwarves are assigned as tavernkeeper, scribe etc., does it create a new labor for them? What happens to their normal labors, (which afaik don't get removed), what takes precedence? What about noble jobs / military assignments?
