Anyone find a way to get the game to pause/zoom when stuff like migrations show up? I legit keep missing them until I notice the number shot up

nielsm posted:Was the wildlife always this intent on killing you? Just listening to the last episode of DF roundtable, where they have Zach and Tarn on, and apparently they have added/replaced some new 'agitation' mechanic for wildlife, both on the surface and underground. I've no exact idea what this entails, but it can involve pissing off the local animals by doing... things, like treecutting. e: Keas at least, historically, will steal everything you own given the chance

Gamerofthegame posted:the bigger thing is that combat is extremely lethal (except when it isn't (still is then tho)) and while you can, in theory, train up to be little dodgy gremlins, the mainway to go is to load up your soldiers with armor. which you won't have for a hot minute. so every threat needs to be considered deadly serious it also helps to build a death corridor with a shitload of traps, fortifications for your archers to fire through, a room you can close off and dump lava into, etc. Think dwarfishly and construct to your advantage so you rip the enemy up beforehand and your soldiers are either last resort or just there to finish off the remnants

unless they've changed it this patch, armor is far less important than a shield, which can basically full-on negate attacks from happening with sufficient skill levels while armor which merely mitigates damage taken dodging and parrying (i forget if the latter is a function of overall combat skill or weapon-specific) can also do this but not as often as shields, and dodging comes with the risk of dodging into something bad, and also these don't apply to as many cases -- i don't believe you can dodge dragonfire, for instance, while you can absolutely shield it (and then probably die anyways because now your environment is superheated and on fire, but at least you survived the breath attack itself!)

Does the world size really 'matter' in this game? Like in Rimworld for example you can generate worlds that are 30%, 50%, or 100% size and (without mods) there's virtually no reason to go above 30% because you'll never travel more than 30% of the world away. Other than giving me more potential starting sites, does a larger world do anything in DF?

Anybody have a guess on why my mechanic's workshop doesn't get built? In old DF I would assume that I lack a mechanic. But, now I don't know what category that job even is in. Further thoughts: Keybindings are confusing on a non-english keyborad. Those automatic work orders with the auto recommended restart mode are amazing.

profession names don't map 1:1 to skills and some of them are generic labels for dwarves with multiple skills within a category e: also i think there's a skill whose sole entire function is "carving memorial headstones" so that might be what "stone cutting" is if you're already looking at a skill list Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Dec 6, 2022 |

I skipped the tutorial so apologies if this is covered there but is there a button or key I can hold down when building walls/ceilings to assign all of one resource to it like in the ASCII version? None of the obvious ones seem to work and I don't want to click 100 times to set up a ceiling.

I've been forced to go to work instead of going full dwarf all day, but wasn't it shift-return on the old setup? Maybe try shift-click?

Is there a missing flag for planting outdoor plants? Perfectly understandable if they're turned off by default, but I've got all these seeeeds Also it seems like agriculture is working, but there isn't any visual representation for fallow/planted/ripe

Light aquifer report: They really are light. If you just prepare a bunch of material for building walls, ahead of time, you can easily dig a stairwell through, dig out the tiles around the stairwell, then construct walls around it and you're through. You'd have to be really slow to not make it.

How the hell much stockpile space do I need in this game  I'm currently a week(ish) into my first fortress and I have done nothing except scale up stockpile space the entire time. 686 tiles of stockpile total - one big one for wood and stone, then a smaller one for food and two smaller ones for everything else. But they're all absolutely full and need to be expanded. My dwarves haven't been able to do anything except set up stockpile rooms and haul things so far!

Was hesitant to buy since I always had a hard time figuring out some of the finer points of DF, but man this really is a much easier and better way to play. I might even figure out how armies work now!

Bad Munki posted:STRIKE THE EARTH That's a cool design. Figuring out how to lay out a fort in a non-boring way always ended up stopping me ahead of time. Central open shaft usually wins for coolness (and potential to route waterfalls through the center). Gradually widening tiers are also fun. Gonna be pondering a layout now until I can actually play it...

I'm not sure what happened, but my dwarves kept running around outside the fortress picking fights with monsters until one of them killed him, he came back as a zombie and killed everyone else. Hm.

Aeble posted:That's a cool design. Back in the day I had a "standardized" fort floor plan I'd based on rotating all the fractal floor plans on the wiki around a central 3x3 double helix spiral ramp. I'd pour a waterfall down the center and have it feed into the aquifer at the bottom. I'll probably do it again after I spend the first few realtime weeks looking for the right site for it again. Gonna have to redesign everything to incorporate minecarts.
