Therapist isn't a hack, it's a ui extension pretty much. Do you also only fill your vehicle with leaded gas and use a hand pump to fill the tires?

DT is definitely a hack, it reads and writes memory of another process directly.

I think it's fine to use DT if you want to but also I think it's fine to not use it. I'm surprised at the amount of 'I can't play without DT!' posts I see because I myself basically only ever use it to sort by body size to see how the most optimal dwarf for champion would be. I don't bother with finding out whether a dwarf enjoys outdoor work or not; if I need a woodcutter and he's idle and not a miner then by Armok he's getting the woodcutting labor turned on. If I find myself waiting around for something I find idle dwarves and turn the relevant labor on; that's basically my system. Some dwarves (like the doctors) only have their specific labor sets enabled but for the most part I don't care whatsoever if a master brewer or a novice brewer is making drinks as long as they are getting made. I think the only thing I really care about is making sure someone skilled is forging the steel/adamantine stuff but I usually just have a specific forge or two set up so only skilled dwarves can use it and just order the jobs there (or set them all like that and use the manager screen). reading posted:I've never used therapist or any of the other hacks- I just occaisionally give some schmuck every single labor possible, to ensure that no matter what happens a job hanging out for a while will eventually have someone come along who can do it. I do this, too. 'Peasant' = all farming jobs turned on at the very least. e: oh I fire up DT to find dwarves with no preferences that involve things they can order to be built so as to pick nobles. When your duke only likes the color blue and hens then the duke isn't telling you to make useless amulets nonstop. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jan 26, 2016 |

Thousand plus year histories have been possible for a while, if not always. They just take forever and can crash if some unknown bug is encountered. And they take many, many hours to generate.

Letting dwarves chop trees is one thing, but a lot of hatespirals can be preempted by having a small cadre of highly trained craftsmen. At a minimum I want clothes makers, brewers, cooks, masons and carpenters to be as highly skilled as possible. The resulting happy thoughts do a lot to keep everyone under control. Also planters should be specialized just because crop yields depend on planter skill. If you have a ton of idlers, a farm plot twice as big with inexperienced planters will yield about the same yield overall. However, they'll be split into twice as many stacks. That means that stills and kitchens will be less efficient (twice as many smaller stacks means twice as many jobs for the exact same amount of booze and meals).

Not having to leave my keyboard every migration wave is great. The profession "management" I added isn't great but it gets the job done.

Mister Adequate posted:Holy poo poo, it didn't crash? Did Toady rework world gen dramatically, or do you just have access to CERN's best hardware? I actually had to just kill it. I thought it was going to stop at 1000 years, but it went to 1001 after over 4 hours. There were almost 1.8 million events, almost 200,000 historical figures, and like 150,000 dead. At that point each additional year was taking around 30 seconds to process. Now I'm just doing a regular world generation, medium history, but at the point at which it should wrap it up and allow me to accept the world the game becomes unresponsive. And not just for like a minute, I left it for over an hour while I was finishing up other stuff and again I ended up just closing the non-responsive program. Dwarf Fortress why do you make it so hard to love you

I always just do an advanced gen with 299 years. I mostly leave all the other parameters alone except to set bogeymen to 0 because I don't enjoy them. I also do worlds that are 65x129 so they've got half the area of medium worlds but have the same length for temperature variation.

What size world are you genning? I accidentally did a 1000 year medium world (I think it goes to 1050 actually) although I stopped it at 1023. The computer just took ages to register me pressing the cancel button - I think I pressed it at 1000. It took maybe an hour to generate on my laptop that struggles with simple programs.

I don't know all the specs actually. Whatever the default is for generating a world with advanced parameters. I think I tried to cancel it first around year 700 and it straight up ignored my button press. Dwarf Fortress feels more like a complicated relationship than a video game.

Toady should probably drop the default down from 1050 or whatever it is. It's been several years since a history that long was meaningful or feasible.

Anybody elses dwarves not breeding? Not that I particularly WANT children but I've got 101 dwarves and only 2 are children which came with a migration wave. There are a few married couples that also came with a wave and they aren't reproducing. No dwarves have gotten married in fort either.

My military dwarves still go into battle wielding MUGS AND POTS They're getting attached to these things! Someone killed a forgotten beast with a masterwork gneiss mug (gneiss job, I say) but why? And would it kill them to name a mug that killed a forgotten beast?!

I've been enjoying my game, designing a sweet entrance to my fort, doing pretty well. No fuel ores yet, but lots and lots of trees, so I was ready to start on smelting. And then a fire started in the corner of the map. I sent my woodcutter out to cut a firebreak, which succeeded, but one of the collapsing trees fell on him and he burned to death. In the middle of the wildfire, migrants arrive. This game is ridiculous.

I just activate all non-skill based jobs on most idle nobodies. Crafting jobs are the only ones I cherry pick for, and miners shouldn't be flimsy, but otherwise I can't be assed.

My lazy strategy is to try and have all my bases covered in the first couple migrant waves and then just let new arrivals do whatever. If I notice something is taking too long to happen I activate the relevant labor on the first idle dwarf I see.
