Shbobdb posted:Did some traders bring a bagful of magma that spontaneously combusted when they entered your area? Just in case someone thinks this is a joke, no, that's a recently introduced bug that hasn't been fixed yet and may be the cause of spontaneous above ground fires coinciding with the arrival of traders.

And definitely do not give said lever inside the room only to the noble's room and then tell them to use it if they give you a bad mandate or order. You don't want an unfortunate accident to occur.

Hatch covers are the single most overpowered construction in the game. Properly built your fortress will be unassailable with one.

Do trees have a cap in certain biomes? I want as few trees as possible so in my last embark I found a 3x3 that only had sparse tiles. In the beginning I chopped them all down but a few years later I had a treesplosion and 2-3x as many grew back then I hard originally started with. I'm really trying to remove as many possible FPS sinks as I can and I noticed a decent dip when they all started to grow back. I'm about to embark in a desert that only has 15 trees in it and a little wood would be nice but I'll leave them alone if twice as many are just going to grow back. Edit: Well what do you know. While I was browsing bay12forums someone posted a similar thread. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=156672.0 Its a shame the extirpate command stopped working.

Embark on a glacier with some logs to start with (mostly for beds). Dig down to the caverns ASAP so you can start an indoor tree farm and limit the size of it. It may be possible to gather all the fruit/leaves/seeds and they won't grow later? Never tried or thought about it.

I thought about doing a glacier embark but most the sites I find have very few neighbors and I like having all my neighbors. Maybe I could try finding some savanna and doing a really sweet top level yearly burn to take care of all the trees/vegetation.  All the grass grows back pretty quick right?

Maybe when TWBT finally comes out, I'll dip my hand into the pool of insanity again and start a new bloodline fort. Just need to figure out how to weed out guys who get a turn then do nothing.

Well, DFHack finally got a proper alpha-1 for version 06. Peridexis has already gone off to shake mifki awake, so the LNP probably isn't far behind. e: well now, here it is: https://build.mifki.com/ scamtank fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Mar 5, 2016 |

If anyone here is going to be at GDC, you can swing by the talk "Practices in Procedural Generation" on Monday and listen to Tarn speak about the upcoming implementation of myth and magic into Dwarf Fortress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyA4QD_6-2A quote:Tanya Short | Creative Director, Kitfox Games

No. Way. I honestly didn't think I'd see this in 20 years. Given that Tarn will be the first to be uploaded to the cloud to code (only for a single processor of course) in perpetuity  .

Thank goodness that the starter pack has been updated. TWBT makes things much more enjoyable. Also that the graphics packs have been updated, I assume, to 42.06 as well.
