Devlog posted:I've completed the production/naming of world gen heroic items and holy relics. Sometimes they are potentially useful, like the steel spear used to kill a giant, and sometimes you get an elf commemorating the slaying of a minotaur by naming their wooden low boot which presumably saved their life or something. Our first official holy relic: the hemp trousers of the "First Orange" of a god of light. The second was the Fortress of Grief, a totem made from the skull of another religion's high priest. They placed the skull in the temple, while the rest of the body was entombed in the catacombs under the city. Next up we'll be doing artifact claims and various mechanics to get these artifacts moving, fought over, and otherwise affected.

I just hope this means that sometimes an adventurer comes to your fortress in fortress mode and tries to steal artifacts. I mean you'd do it too if you knew an artifact was inside a fortress in adventurer mode.

Taking the high priest of a competing religion and making a worship artifact out of his skull is all I have ever really wanted from Dwarf Fortress.

So, just downloaded the game and running through the worldgen to get an idea of what's going on. Not going to delve too deep, because I plan on streaming my newcomer's pains tonight. Be honest, guys: Am I going to die?

I just set up my first area, and there was nothing to dig into. Also, I was surrounded by lakes and shrubbery. I know not what to do. Trying again.

an easy way to start delving at first is to make a down staircase on the surface and then follow it up with a series of up/down staircases right below it. (up/down staircases are a specific option separate from just up and down staircases)

J.A.B.C. posted:Found out about channeling. Immediately struck chert, pyrite and platinum. Unless you want to dig a giant open pit (which, in fairness, would be a pretty novel way to do a fortress) you probably want to use stairs, not channels, then dig out the next level down by hand. (Including the staircase back up, which isn't handled automatically. Make sure they line up, and remember that once you've dug an up stair you can always designate "dig down stair" over the top of it to turn it into an up/down stairway, but failing to dig an up stair in the first place means you have to build one instead. Everything in the game works like this. Welcome to Dwarf Fortress.)

A forgotten beast brought it to an end before I could expose the first cavern layer to sunlight though.

On the image is an image of a dwarf. On the image is an image of an axe. The dwarf is holding the axe. This relates to the image Black101. On the image is an image of words. The words are making a plaintive gesture. This relates to the image It Is Terrifying.

The interface is not intuitive whatsoever. It's just at a certain point it's muscle memory - you don't think I need a door you just hit b-d. You don't think alright now where is the wall thing you just hit b-C-w

Coming back to this after a year or so, I can remember how to play it but only if I don't think too hard about what the keys are... The moment I try and actually remember them I end up just staring blankly at the keyboard.

So in adventure mode: 1. How do i find specific buildings at a site. Like a shop or a specific persons house 2. How do I find people at a site? I ask for the person and all they ever say is "he is my neighbor" but there are a dozen houses filled with people in the immediate area 3. How do I get quests. I ask for troubles and get directions but there is no quest for it And how do I overall increase my situational awareness. Like finding out if x person is a demon in disguise or whatever Phi230 fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Why my friend's dwarfs  don't want to place food in barrels? We both are new players and my dwarfs doing it automatically so I can't answer his question.  He got plenty of barrels in a Finished Goods stockpile and tons of food in food pile.

Is his food stockpile set to disallow barrels? Is his food stockpile 100% full? I think if there's a food on every space of the stockpile then there's nowhere to put the barrel to begin loading it, so dwarfs never bring the barrel before loading it up with food.

I think if there's a food on every space of the stockpile then there's nowhere to put the barrel to begin loading it, so dwarfs never bring the barrel before loading it up with food. They are full now because of the this, and I have feeling that he turned off maximum allowed barrels on this stockpile as Tunicate mentioned. Will tell if it helped, I guess he need to make a new stockpile with allowed barrels to dense a bit current food stockpiles, and turn on barrels there too. Update: He did turned off barrels on all of his food stockpiles. Everything is fine now. Thanks. I'm working with Dwarf Therapist right now and looks like managing 50 dwarfs jobs takes a lot of a time. Would you recommend me to continue manual managing or start using autolabor plug-in?

I'm finally playing again for the first time in like 2 years. A werelizard showed up at my fort and killed some passing merchants. Then he transformed back into a human, and I got the notification that he had arrived, and he was listed as friendly in the unit screen. But when a bunch of my dwarves went out to pick up the slain merchants' stuff, they saw him, and immediately chased him down and beat him to death with their bare hands, like some kinda dwarven lynch mob. It's an appropriate response, but I was surprised, because the last time I played, civilians were almost perpetually terrified of anything vaguely threatening, and I think they would have either run away or just ignored him. What's changed that allows civilians to go on the offense like this?
