True boozecooking got patched out years ago. Lavish meals need a certain number of (distinct?) ingredients and they can't all be liquid.

Get nest boxes up asap, and "forbid" ~3 stacks of the eggs (in nest boxes) immediately (using the rest for cooking). Wait a year for them to hatch, then another for them to hit maturity. Slaughter most males and then build a huge nest box farm. Eggs for days! I think blue peahens are another good choice, they mature faster maybe? edit: I do the above approach with both turkeys and bluehens for new forts and have more than enough eggs by the start of the third year to make roasts forever.

With eggs, dwarven wine, and fishing, I'm usually preparing lavish meals off the bat to trim down my food supply a bit. Chickens are also really easy to expand production levels with so it can grow with your fort.

If you embark without 8-11 sows how can anyone take you seriously.

I always got food by importing it. Embark with 100 or more milk (it's 1 dwarfbuck per unit) and make it all into cheese first thing, Then when the trade liaison comes, request every kind of milk at the highest priority, and all the fish, eggs, cheese, and milled/prepared ingredients at the lowest priority. You can also do meat, but that list is entirely too long and I don't want my dwarves turning all those lungs and intestines and poo poo into dwarven phở. Milk is great because you can get a lot of it from caravans, it's cheap, and cheese is a high-value ingredient that makes your roasts more valuable. Turning a few worthless migrants into fisherdwarves is a good way to get a big stack of fish early, until it inevitably dries up and you catch every single fish in the stream/river/ocean. Plant gathering is also good, as I believe you can collect a bunch of fruits and leaves that are cookable but not brewable now that fruit trees are in. And once your gathering/brewing op hits full steam, you can enable cooking for low-value seeds, since you're probably never going to deliberately grow any prickle berries.

I've found asexual males can still produce babies, which is good because they seem way more common than gay animals. Somehow every skunk I've captured turned out to be asexual, but they still are producing young so it's all good. Egg production I started with turkeys but have diversified to all sorts of things, crundles make a bajillion eggs and if your egg collecting is interrupted because you have to go to war the baby crundles are more likely to start fighting each other than most of the other egg layers, you'll get spammed with reports of them denting each others scales, which is a nice diversion from the reports of some random poet getting enraged and then calming down because of bar arguments. Between the crundles and cave crocs I got so many animals queued for slaughter I've had to build more butcher shops, tanning stations, and kitchens. On the plus side I got a bajillion bone crafts/bolts and totems. Elk Birds will stay on the egg nests and starve themselves to death, so you'll need to micromanage moving the nest boxes around if you want to breed them. I have tame keas and falcons, and will have kakapos once my dwarves get around to moving the captured male into the pen with the females (they keep getting interrupted by scrub goblin invasions or trading caravans) You can still get eggs if there are no males, but they won't hatch.

Was the option to assign a room to a noble position rather than an individual something Toady said was upcoming? I can't remember if that's a thing he wanted or if it's something only going to be available in mods.

Hi, I've just started playing DF and ran into two issues: 1. Here are screenshots from three floors of my impenetrable fortress: http://imgur.com/a/ij8x6 It looks like I cannot build a wall straight above the bridge. Is this expected? I thought that a bridge was closing "outside" the wall. Should I move the bridge one square forward and wall sides off if I was to build that "tower" with a lip and fortifications above? 2. I traded for some rock nuts, which ended up inside a bin/bag/whatever in a stockpile and for some reason, my farmer dwarves refuse to pick them up and plant. Similarly, I crafted a few nest boxes, which ended up inside a bin inside a stockpile. However, when trying to build a nest box, I'm getting a "no nest boxes" message. Yet when I mark these boxes for dumping, my dwarves happily drag them to the garbage zone. What gives? Thank you, esteemed Goons, for your valuable help.

Unexpected posted:1. Here are screenshots from three floors of my impenetrable fortress: If I'm reading your screenshots right: 1. The bridge closes by the wall, that is, when raised the wall it forms will line up with the existing walls, completely enclosing the bottom floor of the tower in walls. No matter how long the bridge is, this wall only exists on 1 z-level. 2. The reason you can't build the walls is because you already built floor on those tiles, constructed walls/fortifications can't be built on top of constructed floors, they include their own.

Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but am I dumb and misreading things or does this mean Adventurer Mode is now, if you choose it to be, effectively Fortress Mode lite? Like what's the whoel making sites thing

Really really lite. You can chop down trees, carpenter up a furnished house and then claim it as your own site, which will be recognized as such in legends and entities (you included) can claim them for Fortress mode, but that's pretty much it.

Oh for gently caress's sake. I just had a Were-Raccoon spiral. About 5 people got bit in the first encounter, and while I did label them Heretics, dfhack's cursecheck said everything was gravy.  So of course a month later, three of them transform and bite like 6 more people.I spend some time trolling through the combat reports, tagging anyone who was bitten and still alive, and then setting up burrows in spare bedrooms to try and lock them up into quarantine... except the flighty fucks won't stop praying and drinking and listening to stories ALL GODDAMN MONTH and, as soon as the moon is full, they transform and slaughter all but 5 people in the fort. So now everyone is compromised, and I'm halting all jobs and production to try and trap these remaining bastards in their rooms when they finally deign to sleep, so that the next migrant wave can salvage things.

That's still pretty awesome though. Makes it way easier to scout for a potential fort location in Adventure mode. Pretty good patch all in all; the work orders needed some love for a while now.

What's the most recent completed Goon LP? Bronzestabbed? Does anyone have a link? Also does anyone know any good LPs of Masterwork? It always sounds so cool and fun, but I can barely play regular Fortress Mode, no way I can learn Fortress Mode ++. But fortunately DF, like Crusader Kings, is a game where the emergent nonsense/stories are generally more than entertaining enough to simply read without having need to necessarily experience first hand.
