something i've noticed is that depression is now handled differently, or is even something entirely different from the old melancholia. the diagnoser who got sad got better after a while, and fell into depression again a couple of times. since said dwarf is not dead, and currently best for the job, it's now the fort's chief medical dwarf. i have no idea how the regular depressive episodes will effect that in practice, but emotionally broken doctors are an exciting archtype hope this works: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S3s43WXy95n0yFKZQl4LDP0CsYMbzOHw?usp=sharing |

something i forgot to mention re: military, is how this new trained core of soldiers will make eventual replacements or expansions a lot quicker beginning from scratch is a slow process in this version of the game since, as ive mentioned, nobody knows anything relevant. it's just a bunch of clueless beginners trying to explain the basics to each other since they've now had a good time to work on that, we have plenty of pretty decent teachers who actually have some idea of what they're supposed to be teaching. this means that new recruits will learn the basics a lot quicker. a good idea if we're making more squads (the standard unit of up to 10 dwarves) in the future is therefore to move some of the experienced troops into them, as training happens on the squad level at the moment this doesn't apply for actual weapon use since, well, none of them have held one yet |

I for one vote to keep our military as an elite cuddle force instead of introducing weapons |

some time after i finished the main hall, i got a notification that a horse starved to death this was because dwarf fortress is really stupid/great when assigning a "meeting area", such as our underground hall, all idle dwarves will gather there to talk and make new friends domesticated animals will also join them. this includes animals which needs to graze to survive. they will not leave this place, even if they're starving in short, all our livestock joined the merrymakers until i noticed, but now they're staying in an above grazing area that i designated |

I propose a hybrid approach, a variedly skilled militia peppered with a few cuddle commandos who know little of life outside of cuddling, practicing cuddling, and drinking. |

google THIS posted:So, mechanics question, is food spoilage not a thing or is it mercifully lenient or do dwarven digestive systems just not give a gently caress? I skimmed the last thread and it seems like the game carefully calculates the secretions of a dwarf's salivary glands as he pries the lid off a barrel of raw uncleaned seafood that's been sitting in a damp cave for six months. It's, uh, complicated. * Food left on the ground will rot. I've lost meals this way when I didn't notice meals piling up in the kitchen not being taken to a stockpile. *Food left on the ground but in a stockpile will not decay. However, vermin like rats running around will cause food to become damaged, losing value and eventually disappear. Cats and falcons can kill vermin, keeping your stockpiles safe. But then you have dead vermin to deal with. *Food/drinks in a barrel, bucket or other container lasts forever, so barrels are a pro move. Note: liquids such as milk will freeze if left in freezing temperatures, making them inaccessible until thawed. But, yes, a barrel of raw fish stays good forever.

Who What Now posted:So Nosfereefer you started training a military, did you ever consider building a Danger Room? danger rooms are cool and good, but i didn't really feel like it was viable at this stage. the smollbois didn't have armour for most of the year, and there's no functioning hospital yet. i also really didn't have the mechanisms at hand but the current sparing area could easily be converted into one later on i think |

That's extremely fair. I usually don't start training a military u til my third or fourth year, when I have a fully realized metal industry. Although usually with my luck it's a bronze industry because I can't find iron, much less flux. |

the game has been developed for a solid 17 years now. we're all like early hobby radio enthusiasts, experimenting with technology that's still poorly understood even by its own inventors even with the wiki in its current state, a lot of the knowledge about how to make different things interact with each other is based on first hand experience, educated guesses, and hearsay |

so tomorrow i'm gonna run my year. i've been messing around for a few hours today and even tho' it's obtuse, it is kind of intuitive? i don't know but i like it and now i wish i had paid more attention to the development. i was telling my brother i can parse ascii for like, roguelikes and whatnot, but the amount of visual noise in the game is intimidating to even the initiated. my goal for the year is to not destroy everything, and to have a tavern up and running.

Carnivorous animals still don't need food, only grazers. I guess they can harvest all the scraps they need by licking dwarven beards. |
