Just make another one, it's not like seige workshops are expensive to build.

I have yet to get my first migrant wave, but I did get a couple of so-far-harmless ghosts. I'm working on memorializing them now. It's a bit difficult getting things done with just the starting 7 when there's so much that needs doing right now. neogeo0823 fucked around with this message at 20:45 on May 19, 2016 |

Verviticus posted:as someone who hasnt played in a year and a bit: military training finally works!? Military training has almost always worked, it's just that the way to get best results has changed from time to time and is non-obvious. Dwarves train skills more quickly if you segregate them into small groups, or even just pairs -- it makes them more likely to spar than to stand around giving demonstrations. (In theory if you have a Legendary Teacher or something this might reverse itself, but you'd probably have to run your fort for decades for that to happen naturally.)

We haven't isolated the personality factors that might play into it yet, either. The common thread used to be that more reckless and aggressive commanders held more sparring sessions, but there was nothing to substantiate it. Man, I just thought of the best experiment too. Male and female dwarves are given consistently extreme personality traits that mirror each other. Then just whip up a gender-segregated posse in a fort boosted with startdwarf and see which team brawls more among themselves.

Is there a way, DFHack or otherwise, to make dwarves pick up all the poo poo strewn around a reclaimed ruined fort? I unforbid and reclaimed everything on the entire map when I first came back here, but nothing seems to have been touched yet, despite having a gigantic open stockpile for everything.

You can mark everything for dumping and then use DFHack's autodump to teleport everything to where ever the cursor is then reclaim it all.

Telsa Cola posted:This, there are literally no noticeably penalties for keeping people active all the time and they will sort out training for themselves too. Scheduling literally has no good uses. Also if you are ever really concerned about the mood penalties that really do admittedly stack up like crazy over time, give your military a season long break every two or three years and they'll have big mood boosts from all their unmet needs being met during their downtime. You can do this from the squads screen if you're really feeling lazy. I usually wait until after a siege or a megabeast and then just give everybody some time off while the blood dries. It's best to do this if you have a whole bunch of labor you can have them do, like smithing or masonry jobs or something, all dwarves love to craft poo poo and military dwarves rarely get to do it (sometimes you'll catch them doing a labor on the sly) so if your dwarves are feeling glum you can just have them make some axes for a couple of weeks and they'll be solid for at least a year. My real issue wrt military dwarves and to be honest forts in general is dealing with loving cave adaptation. I like building my forts in deep stone with the Depot off of a series of ramps and my dwarves rarely go outside. I know I can manage it by channeling down into my dining room and then building grates over it but that's such a huge pain in the rear end and usually ends up with a brush titan in the dining room making GBS threads fire all over your dwarves' *Plump Helmet Roasts*. I am hoping that we will be able to make purely subterranean forts in the future, I want to build a trade depot in the cave and trade with plump helmet men god dammit Mirthless fucked around with this message at 01:45 on May 20, 2016 |

I did that and was able to move and reclaim around 600 items. About a dozen items were listed as being unable to be moved. Among them were a couple of animal carcasses and a mangled dwarf skeleton in my base that have been spouting miasma. Going back to those items lists them as forbidden, but even after unforbidding them, DFHack won't autodump them. I'm assuming they're bugged?

Ramp down to the depot, or building walls and a roof above an above-ground depot. With that, the only dwarf you'd need to watch is your woodcutter, but if you really want to go entirely underground then you could even just trade for that, too.

You can use DFHack to drop some magma on them and burn them away if you want.

Buschmaki posted:Isn't there some way to make caravans come from the cavern layer? Build a depot down there and make sure it has access to a large enough chunk of unblocked edge. Not sure if it still works since the .42 "living world" stuff where caravans and armies and so on come from actual places, though.

Is it possible to have a single track automated minecart route that goes both ways using the same rollers in both directions, like so: S==================R===============R====================S or are rollers unidirectional. I've never tried automated routes before and the wiki about it is hard to read.

How are you guys making statues of deities for temples. I know you can specify exactly what the image of the statue will be, but I can't figure out how to specify a deity.

Trying to clear a necro tower in adventure mode has become fun after Toady implemented those zombie changes. I was easily slaying individual zombies, got cocky, found myself surrounded, and then got murdered beneath the crushing tide of animate corpses. Also the recent "nameless npcs get an appearance descriptor" change improves the experience by a surprising amount.

Hey what's the best way to remove this titan from my old fort? A catastrophe for the culinary arts, my decadent fortress of 200 dwarves was wiped out in seconds when some brush titan flew in through the open third floor of the castle I was building around the original mountain entrance. All 20,000+ legendary meals were lost, although on the plus side my bookkeeper and cooks will now know the sweet bliss of death. It just farts webs everywhere and snips people's heads in one attack, like a surgeon. It's a flying snail with a shell if that's relevant. Helmets don't really help. I'm asking because I'm actually trying now and I just can't seem to kill it with my little banzai squads. e; Aw it's gone, revenge shall never be taken.

The venue seems to be some bizarrely posh version of a board game bar. Edit: Not that I've never eaten a $16 cheeseburger, I've just never eaten one in an establishment that also sells warhammer figurines. moller fucked around with this message at 10:41 on May 23, 2016 |

The titan has killed about 300 dwarves plus all their pets and livestock, I thought it had left but it was in fact lurking. In the end I sent seven recruits and 25 war boars, now the one guy that's survived gets to spend the next year hauling the sea of corpses to the tomb in the top of the mountain.

I can't run DFHack, anyone have an idea why? I'm using the latest LNP. I can't toggle it in the LNP launcher, and I can't run it in the Dwarf Fortress menu. It launches and closes immediately before displaying any information. Running Windows 10.

I've only used it a minor amount since the 43.02 memory layout came out, with no issues so far. I saw recent commits from splinterz which is why I thought it was still maintained. People seemed to be using it for the 42.x releases without much issue.
