For anyone who just cannot play without DFHack, there's a dev version out which is compatible with the latest DF version. It's experimental, but this wasn't a huge update, so it shouldn't have too many problems. Working fine for me so far. Back up your saves just in case. https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases/tag/0.44.03-alpha1

So I know dwarves freak out if they see someone through a glass wall, but what about through glass floors?

Every time I play I spend hours trying to find this to no avail. I just want to fight harpies and trolls and maybe the odd undead, not instant kill clouds and corpses near instantly reviving

I wonder if there is a way to tie the certain biomes like nightmare to things like the vapor clouds and then just evil and sinister biomes have trolls and blood rain.

returning rescued dwarves is bugged. the second i return one, the rest of my party (also dwarves being rescued) and the whole town goes hostile on them. ended up massacring two hillocks, defending the poor children, until i figured it out. left with 1 child now. i'm disabling people for her to kill.    All good things must come to an end. I finally returned her to where her father lives. Turns out it's in the lovely site I created when playing around with the site builder. I killed a necromancer tower and dropped off all the books in my hut. Then I retired my dude at another hillock for 4 years. When I unretired, some dude took over my site, claimed it for himself, and invited all his noble buddies. Yeah, every single person on the site is a baron or some poo poo of somewhere. Papa lived there too. Let's see what's going on. . .  Very high class, indeed.  Hush child!   I suppose I don't understand the entertainment of the noble-born.

I'm having a lot of fun playing adventurers with syndrome-inflicting attacks, I've moved on from bark scorpion men and brown recluse spider men to king cobra men because they have bones. Raise your biting skill up high enough and you can pretty reliably venom somebody on the first attack of a fight, especially if you sneak up on them, and then they're at a disadvantage for the rest of the battle. The one downside I've found is that you're pretty much never finding armor anywhere unless you custom-smith it yourself at a player fortress

It's Windows. I'm not entirely sure which option gave me that font, but I'm using the Phoebus tileset(including its graphics font) & have truetype fonts set to YES(also requires you to use 2D print mode).

I'm playing around with Dwarf Therapist trying to find some decent fighters for my budding military, and there are a bunch of dwarves listed on Therapist, with labors, roles, active tasks, skills, etc., that do not exist on my dwarf list in the actual game. There are similar dwarves, but they've got different names and not always exactly the same skillset. Have I accidentally spotted some dwarves who are lying about their identities or is this just a bug?

I was able to figure out which dwarves correspond to which names in therapist by giving them custom professions and then checking in game. I figured they had assumed identities in game but I'm not sure, might just be a bug.

Is there a way to designate an artifact as a badge of office for a particular noble position? It can happen during worldgen, but can it be done at a player fortress?

I know I could bend limbs with my modded dragon's wing with grasp on it, but I don't remember if it could also gouge and strangle. Also lets you carry weapons and items with that part, which is fun.

So I have some questions about necromancers and undead; -are undead raised by a necromancer only loyal to the necromancer? Will they randomly attack anything else? -will undead raised by a necromancer attack undead raised by a different necromancer? -will undead raised by a necromancer attack undead created through other means, like evil biomes?

If I remember right, the understanding between necrowizards and their meat children is intrinsic - undead are all OPPOSED_TO_LIFE while necromancers become NOT_LIVING the moment they're inducted into the dark arts. Necromancers and zombies of all sources should be cut from the same cloth, as far as their kinship is concerned. It has the weird effect of making necromancers ineligible to be vampires, while vampires can freely read a slab and get a power.

Alright that makes sense. One other question I'm too lazy/dumb to figure out; what temperature do you need to set a material too to make a TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW breath attack not immedeatly burst into flames. I'm making a creature that tries to avoid conflict by using breath that causes the victim to feel emotions related to guilt, but instead its burning them alive which is the opposite of peaceful.

Necromancers and undead function somewhat weirdly in Fortress mode, it should be noted. For example, if YOUR dwarves become necromancers, then they will not raise the dead freely, and will only do so under duress when they see hostile enemies...which can be a problem, because the undead they raise know no loyalties and will attack the dwarf that made them. Also, per the wiki,quote:Undead are hostile to everything that breathes as well as to enemy necromancer hordes, meaning that other sieges or ambushes (or, indeed, caravans) that happen to arrive when a necromancer siege is milling about will always result in a battle. However, the interaction between vampires and the undead supposedly still holds, so even though enemy zombies will attack other necromancers' zombies due to faction hostility, and even though zombies in fortress mode will attack necromancers while ignoring both the necromancer's unliving state and potentially the necromancer being a supposed faction ally, vampires still get to stroll through hordes of undead safely ignored unless they attack first...supposedly. I wouldn't be surprised if there's still a number of unexplored glitchy behaviors with these interactions. E: Also reviewing that, the information there may not be up to date, so if this behavior has changed I apologize for any potential inaccuracy; I haven't yet tested Fortress mode necromancer weirdness myself.

So in trying to make a non-lethal deterrent, you've simply made their deaths worse. That's pretty drat dwarfy.

Dwarven kitchens don't take any fuel at all, so obviously all dwarven cooking is just mashing stuff together and serving it room temperature.
