i love the idea of other wildlife correctly identifying the fisher people as a threat. real fisherman should have the same, couple people on a little bolt with poles, get some pissed off tadpoles and catfish, whatever. Got them bigass whaler things going, whales coordinate attacks and sink the ship, sharks and dolphins eat the floaters.

They can also purify murky water from surface ponds! Also be prepared: if you gently caress up and accidentally let seawater touch a tile, that tile will turn any fresh water that touches it into saltwater from then on.

authwiggidywack posted:From my understanding a single staircase spanning multiple z-levels is absolutely fine for quite a while. I haven't had many big fortresses but i imagine if you have a lot of dwarfs going into it, you'll have some traffic slowdowns. A central 3x3 staircase is traditional for many layouts imo. Though I'm a bit confused if I can keep extending out a staircase as I go, since it seems to definitely designate up or down staircases at the ends instead of the combination; if I then try to designate an extension to go deeper after that, I worry that it won't let me continue on, as I usually have. (Manually constructing staircases out of stone blocks could be a workaround, if so?)

I had a legendary starve himself, maybe, whatever brilliant people are whatever they are. Unfortunately, maybe her child, is now in a fey mood and needs bones. I have no other supply. I can't figure out how to make this happen.

Aeble posted:A central 3x3 staircase is traditional for many layouts imo. you can basically fix any staircases by manually building stairs in different ways until it works. unrelated: training schedules. I'm thinking of making my dwarves alternate military training, every other month, instead of three months on, three off. Maybe they can get other stuff done when it needs to be done more frequently that way? Is there any reason NOT to do that?

I've been dealing with the same thing and had assumed the wording meant they had a family they wanted to be near and I was doing something wrong, but maybe they're actually longing to start a family and it's just the text descriptions are only an indirect, let's say "poetic" reflection of that. drat.

I'd love a gangtag too! I tried to play the ASCII game once around 10 years ago, so I'm starting from scratch more or less. I chose an embark site in a happy place, no wildlife, no goblins around. There is a nice little river and a magnificent waterfall. At least 5 tiles wide and 10 level deep. Immediately, I decide I'll do something wise and build a complicated (for me) entrance, with a slope several levels deep leading to a drawbridge in front of the water so that everyone can be cleansed by the mists before they enter the fort. Deep below (but still above water) there also will be a splendid dining hall opening directly behind the waterfall for the enjoyment of the dwarves. Alas, I am a fool. First, it was the tamed rabbit that fell in the waterfall. I don't even know why. Then, the couple of dogs after being punched in several places by red pandas. They died instantly. Not much later, the dwarve placing stone grate in the dining hall fell too. He was unconscious and drowning, so I tried to do something to rescue him. While the dwarves were digging towards their friend, a cat fell but didn't suffer any injury (why?). Then the dwarves finished digging and flooded the dormitory level I had the great idea to place far below ground to insulate it from the noises, because in my hurry I didn't notice I was digging below the underground river and not above it... I think I'll stop there for today, and will probably avoid playing around water that early with the next embark. Loddfafnir fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Dec 9, 2022 |

Well that was a good run. Year 5. Had a militia, guards, archers, and out of nowhere a bronze colossus rolled up and just utterly destroyed the fort. First killing the traders and my militia then going after the dwarves who ran up in a panic/tantrum spiral before I could close the barred gatehouse, then going after every living creature on the map, before busting through the walls of my fort and going deep to kill off the rest of my dwarves. At least I dented it up something fierce and fractured a bunch of it's magical bones. I will probably need siege weapons to actually kill it, though. chainchompz fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Dec 9, 2022 |

honestly I'm enjoying the lack of changelogs and this is the first time we've had the mystery back in a long long time, feels good to have half the internet collaborating to figure out exactly what the gently caress "Stone Cutting" does. AAAAANYWAY can someone with an active Bay12 account post in the suggestions forum that the hotkeys screen needs to display the modifier keys on mouse controls? I have neglected to create an account for yea these many years and am still waiting on admin approval. I was successfully able to switch zoom to scroll up/down and change z-level to ctrl+scroll up /down but it just shows "mouse 4" and "mouse 5" for all scroll wheel controls no matter what modifier keys are applied

What work type and stockpile type is hauling rotten food? Some of my food went rotten and I have lost pretty much my entire food stock because I can't get dwarves to haul it and it's choking the rest of the food with miasma. I made a refuse stockpile and created job types that do nothing but refuse haul and food haul (separate jobs) and set dwarves to specialize in them and no one is hauling the rotten food away anywhere. I can't find any stockpile options to specify rotten stuff Not having a "haul this item immediately" button is the absolute worst.

I've been offsetting my staircases for years because at some point someone convinced me that it's possible for dwarves to fall down stairs and if you put them all on the same Z axis together then it would be a gigantic fall that would kill them. Is this actually true

My desert fort had grown too large and my single master brewer was been unable to keep up with demand for booze. He was been down in the cellar nonstop pumping out the alcohol surrounded by a horde of thirsty dwarves as my supply of drinks slowly dwindled. I guess he was working too hard because he just dropped dead of thirst on top of the barrel he was brewing.

Ok, if anyone else is dealing with the occasional vampire (and thus the occasional hopefully not important dead dwarf) here's a very roundabout way to solve the problem. If dfhack or dwarf therapist were working it would be much less work, but unfortunately the unit list is so cumbersome to look for the usual telltale signs that it just isn't worth the time imo: 1)create some rock slabs (you should probably have a few on standby all the time anyway just in case) 2)at the stonecutter's workshop, engrave the slab with the memorial to whatever dwarf just died 3)build the slab 4)check out the details on the slab after it's built. it's the little magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the info pane after being selected 5)write down the name of the vampire that's listed as killing your dwarf 6)save and exit the game. I haven't messed around with the multiple saves function that's been put in for this release, so I don't know if abandoning your fort lets you still access an earlier save, so I just do a full quit and then manually navigate to the save folder and copy/paste it to achieve a full backup. 7)after the save is backed up, reload it and immediately abandon or retire your fort 8)start a new game in your existing world but this time select Legends Mode 9)search the notable people for the name of the vampire you wrote down. at the bottom of the events list, it should say when they joined your fort. Immediately prior to this there should be an event where they changed their name to fool you. Write this down. 10) the rest is very straightforward. Reload your fort from the backup, find that SOB and literally throw him under a bridge. Yes, the atom smasher still words fantastically btw. It sure was easier with dfhack. edit: thank you for the gang tag  edit 2: lmao i also forgot that vampires all seem to have the same pale green skin color on the avatar in the unit list. that's much easier to tell. thunderspanks fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Dec 9, 2022 |

So a basic bedroom is a 2x2 room with a bed, chest and cabinet right? Is there anything else easy to make that'll make them happier? Also is there any way to stack bars and stuff without doing a weird drop-them-into-infinite-quantum-piles trick someone mentioned earlier? It's weird that every individual bar takes up a stockpile spot.

What's the word on when adventurer mode is making it to the steam version? Now that I've lost my first fortress in the steam version, I realize that after one fell I used to just goof off as an adventurer for a few characters before making a new fortress.

I can't find any stockpile options to specify rotten stuff Don't know if this helps, but I think prepared meals show up under item types in the refuse category of stockpile menu when rotten. Set it the stockpile to custom if it's not already, and disallow all subcategories on refuse in your food stockpile the category should go red, if it's only grey you've missed something. Ensuring all those things are enabled in the refuse stockpile, also set a garbage dump by your refuse pile for good measure. If they're really not hauling stuff out fast enough, you can click a stack of items that contains the offending item, and there should be a bunch of small tabs to the right of the inspect window that lets you look at different objects in the stack, you can then click the trash can icon to mark it for dumping, which I think prioritises the action over general refuse collection. Similarly if you need to do this for a bunch of stuff quickly, the rightmost button of the bottom middle UI panel opens up with a dump box select tool. If it's corpses that are causing problems there's an option in the standing orders menu to change corpses from auto collect to auto dump.

I use 3x3 bedrooms, also gives me room to drop in an emergency statue when some dwarf feels unhappy with it. Your bars should go into bins. You can fit hundreds of bars into a small stockpile like that. Make more bins.
