I don't even see it as a matter of efficiency, I just enjoy it more. Each floor takes on a distinct purpose or character that just makes more sense to me. The fact that it's more efficient wasn't something I considered until much later.

I got yet another purple message. Political developments! "After a polite discussion with local rivals, Thon Strickensnarled [an excellent name] has claimed the position of Guild Representative of the Matched Confederation." I think the confederation is a human civilization I've mostly lost contact with after I retired and then reclaimed Swordold. Thon is a dual citizen, actually, so this is kinda interesting.

I always have a bunch of idlers because I never assign useless migrant dwarves useful labors out of laziness. The custom name system is really fun with the tavern and temple update. I could spend an hour just coming up with names for my locations.

So, "Dinnerfork, the Eternal Wonders of Pigs" ran into a slight problem at the very end of year two. A berserking wereape came to visit.  He was unimpressed with my twisty entranceway full of traps, and instead decided to mosey into my fort by running into the river and jumping up my fishing hole. The three stairs there go right down into the center of the fort.  Perhaps my room full of pigs will protect me!  He actually did get taken down by a group of dwarves in my food storage room, but not before killing about five others and injuring a few more. Not two minutes after he died, I had this happen.  I think I need to learn how to control my dwarves a little better. They are rubberbanding trying to go outside/towards the goblins. I would rather they not be near it at all.  Edit: Aww poo poo.  Problems. We have problems! Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jan 2, 2016 |

I am disgusted at all of you. Also using the latest newbpack I cannot get it to toggle on workshop management. And I guess the other automation/performance things for cleaning up owned items) You forgot the most important defense mechanism. Always trap your fishing hole! if it is not trapped it is not safe!

My little structure there had a roof, so I assume it would have kept flyers and such out. I suppose grating is what I needed. Would my weapon traps have worked on said werebeast? It has been a long time since I've played previously, so I am not 100% up to date on what works.

Can you catch the fish via grates though? Or can the fish swim through grates

I get extremely upset when I see the little idler number sitting above zero for more than a few seconds. This is difficult when my fortress has over 120 dwarves in it.

This was my 42.03 fort:  I had so much bituminous coal it was coming out of my bituminous hole, plus an awful lot of magnetite, hematite, etc. It was a really nice start. It was also a terrifying biome and so I expected it to be hella spooky and threatening, and instead the map had zero units on it for 90% of the year. Occasionally there would be a chinchilla. I rate it one skull out of five on the bone rattle-o-meter. Bedrooms and poo poo are one floor up. Long-term storage + offices and libraries are one floor down. Refuse and corpse piles are under the butcher and craft dwarf shops. I have 100 hens. Here's a siege. I am going to switch to 42.04 now.

I picked up the latest Lazy Newb Pack just now, and I can't change labors in Therapist. I disabled autolabor in DFHack, restarted everything, still can't change them. I can, however, change labors manually in the game. Any suggestions?

They accidentally uploaded next version of therapist. Download the older newb pack and grab the older DT from there.

God drat it, I make a new fort and I have a weretapir attack during the very first winter! I was still getting my defenses dug out. Why must my pig forts attract werebeasts? This game is ending up more dangerous than I remember. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jan 2, 2016 |

Because pig is tasty and delicious but pork-fed dwarves more so.

Most of the time, werebeasts are the first big hostiles to attack my forts. Sometimes they even strike before the local kobold thieves realize there's a new outpost. Is there a dfhack plugin that lets you see whether eggs are fertile? I wanna know if I'm going to get a crocsplosion or just a bunch of rotten eggs.

As vicious as they are all it takes is a cage trap. Filthy Monkey posted:I think I need to learn how to control my dwarves a little better. They are rubberbanding trying to go outside/towards the goblins. I would rather they not be near it at all. Set up a safe home burrow and when invaders come you can go to the military screen and make all civilians drop what they're doing and go to the burrow and not leave until you give the all clear.

Erm, aren't roasts supposed to have four ingredients? How did this even happen. It is worth 243075 dwarfbucks.

GenericOverusedName posted:Erm, aren't roasts supposed to have four ingredients? How did this even happen. Are you running burrows? The old artifact glitch happened when they'd still gather stuff from outside their designated area, but those wouldn't trip the "components delivered 2/3" meter so they'd just pile the poo poo on until they randomly got to things that'd satisfy it as "ready"

I am not. I just have a couple of kitchens set to make meals on repeat. Not even doing anything weird with stockpiles giving to / taking from stuff or anything. That's not my only insane cupcake, just the biggest one.

 I hate DF cooking. I really wish there was some kind of recipe system e.g. flour + water = bread, plant + liquid + meat = stew, meat + salt (why isn't salt a thing in DF, anyway?) = jerky, etc.Unfortunately Toady apparently lives off nothing but grocery store sandwiches and mountain dew so this will never happen.

Oh man, I kinda don't want to have to deal with a fort running out of salt, or whatever syndromes Toady would cook up for dwarves who consume too much salt, or dwarven diabetes for that matter. My master trader suddenly started having breakdown after breakdown. After knocking down enough statues and punching the wrong dwarves, he got sentenced to a hammering. The hammerer punched his neck into paste in one strike. Now trader Stinthad rests in peace. I really couldn't figure out what his deal was -- the trader complained that his life wasn't exciting and that he was lonely, but almost every member of his immediate family plus his grandparents all live in Swordold. One of his two children was dead, but the eldest and his wife were alive. When I did draft him into the military, he was mad about that too. In the end, the only solution was dwarven therapy, and unfortunately he didn't survive treatment.

Was he also your mayor or baron? If he was, ignoring thier mandates will quickly sink thier happiness. I've gotten pretty lucky on that front, my mayor that I made baron just wants iron anvils. Lots and lots of iron anvils.

Could you mod reaction raws to make new kinds of prepared food with those sort of requirements?

my IRL job is sewer inspector and I'm hella disappointed that there is no dwarf fortress poop model. Imagine a communal toilet with a 'poo poo' fluid that you have to pipe out of the fortress or simply dump into the caverns below.

Tenebrais posted:Could you mod reaction raws to make new kinds of prepared food with those sort of requirements? You could. The kitchen has always accepted custom reactions. Just define your wanted food items like sausages or pies or scones or fine wines in item_food.txt and have your own cookery broilery reactions call those as the end results instead of being just variants for the basic jobs. GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT should let the reagents name the end products like normal, too. You could even stick ITEM_REACTION_PRODUCT tokens in all sorts of meats and plants and other raw materials and just have a single "just make some goddamn grub" reaction. It'd randomly pick anything edible and it'd output bread or ribs or oatmeal depending on what the chef found that time. The only real crimp is that the old basic reactions are still there, all bothersome like.

I've just played this loving time vampire for the first time in like a year, and the first two books written after I got libraries working were "Meditations on Mating" and "Mating: Theories and Practice". This is about par for what I expected in terms of new features.
