"The fortress attracted no new migrants this year" please it's been almost two years since the last wave and I'm still getting dwarf caravans. I need more meat for the meat grinder.

New to the game and wow there’s a lot to learn, a few questions so far. I noticed I have no mushroom spores left, I thought I’d get some from the harvesting of the ones I grew but when I click on the field it says I have no seeds. How do you manage what you’re planting so you have more seeds and spores to plant later? Will I have to wait till the next caravan to buy some more? Some of my dwarves are getting grumpy and have unfulfilled needs like “acquire item” and “be extravagant”. I know you can fulfill their desire to pray to a specific deity via a temple but one of them wants to pray to like 3 of them, should I bother this early on? What are some steps I can take early on to have happier dwarves? I noticed they don’t like being in the rain!

I'm in year three of my tutorial fortress and I can't keep up with this coming from some time in Rimworld. I'm in fall of year 3, I have 80+ dwarves, half of whom are slightly unhappy, and now I have ghost children attacking alive children.

Neurion posted:I've also come to accept and even appreciate light aquifers. I now have a cistern and hospital below the aquifer layers, with a diagonal corner in the aqueduct corridor, and I never ever need to throw a lever or do anything manually to keep the water topped up now. At first I thought the aquifers wouldn't produce water fast enough to fill a large cistern, so the "collection" area in the damp layers was dug out in a way to increase the surface available to leak into, and that did the trick quite nicely. The cistern was full within two game months. Could you post a screenshot or two of this setup? Like 14 years of playing and I'm still hesitant around water pressure mechanics

Thankyou for the tag! I started a new fort last night on the edge of an ocean. Within an hour or so almost everyone had been killed by giant sparrows. A++ would do it again. I was down to 1 mobile dwarf and 1 injured, at one point, but I think I'm clawing it back now.

Ghosts means at some point you had dwarves who died and you have yet to bury them properly. Being haunted by dead loved ones tends to bring folks down! Some things that might help your dwarves chill out would include proper cups to drink out of, a smoothed dining hall with a bunch of nice tables, chairs, and statues, and perhaps a nice big temple dedicated to no god in particular. Dorfs need good poo poo in their lives to balance out the bad. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Stress

Elderbean posted:New to the game and wow there’s a lot to learn, a few questions so far. If you cook a plump helmet, you don't get seeds back, but if you brew it into alcohol, you get seeds. If you're out of seeds you can buy some next caravan. A lot of needs are difficult to fulfill, but you can actually make a temple to 'no specific deity' and then dwarves can pray to any god they want there, or meditate. That'll make them much happier. Taverns, I think, also make them a lot happier. Ideally your dwarves should not ever get rained on. Have you disassembled your wagon? That'll give you free wood and stop your dwarves from loitering around the wagon, outside. You can designate a meeting hall and dwarves will hang out there and socialize, keeping them out of the rain and making them happier, too.

Installed a well in my dining hall and managed to not gently caress up the hydraulics. I'm nearly back to competency after years of rust. I also found a fat native platinum mine, so we're about to seriously deck out the dining hall and excite some dwarfs. This is a good game.

Have a vampire problem - know exactly who it is. The mayor was already suspicious, but after I convicted him for two murders and all he got was a beating, he just stopped hiding it. This time I had a jail set up and he's tied away now, but you'd think they'd just go to the hammerer after eating a kid in the dining hall in front of everybody.

Woah two of my dwarfs, after we cleaned up the siege mess, got into a massive fist fight in the centre of my tavern. I wish I could tell why, but anyway this one vicious bastard mangled the other's shoulder so badly he'll never hold anything every again. Both ended up puking everywhere and are currently out cold in my hospital

RBA-Wintrow posted:Cool story bro. Thanks! I'm quite certain it was a bug. I met the diplomat. I DID the trading. The 'merchants are leaving' message appeared. They picked up some stuff, walked a distance away, and stopped forever. It's actually happened to me again, this time after a minotaur appeared... My pet theory is that if merchants get into a fight, they forget how to exist afterwards? perhaps? not sure what's going on. Maybe if I make my trade depo in a safer place this will stop happening, but i have too many other things to build to worry about that. oh well. i'll figure out what to do with this free poo poo tomorrow and then donate more crap next year i guess.

Is the soundtrack tied to things you do in game at all? Because once I built a tavern I started getting this song that sounds like Slavic folk music mixed with rock, and it KICKS rear end

Hawke posted:"The fortress attracted no new migrants this year" please it's been almost two years since the last wave and I'm still getting dwarf caravans. I need more meat for the meat grinder. The dwarven caravan from your home civilization influences the number of immigrants received (if the caravan leaves intact). So have them report back that they sold a bunch of worthless crap and you payed them in a small fortune worth of rock mugs. Migrants will think your fortress is doing great to be wasting valuables! So they'll come. Rock mugs are light, so the traders can carry it all with them. And they are easy to make in high quality and volume. There's no point in trying to pay in solid gold statues if the merchant can't carry it home. If your trade depot has no values for the worth of items, then ensuring that a dwarf with the Appraiser skill is assigned as the trader will cause the values to appear.

Speaking of animals, is there an easier way to slaughter wild animals you've caught? I caught a bunch of naked mole dogs but the only way I could figure out how to consume their delicious wrinkly flesh was to put them in cages in my animal training area and mark them for training so they showed up in my livestock tab instead of the other creatures tab, then mark them for butchering. Which is not terribly streamlined. Game rules, though.

Does anyone know what might be giving me popups for 'no yarn cloth' when there's a pile of 20ish masterwork sheep cloth underneath my loom? As far as I understand it, silk clothing = cloth made from webs, cloth clothing = cloth made from plants, yarn clothing = cloth made from animal product, but my clothier doesn't seem to be able to make anything.

I had the most absurd moment yesterday where I was struggling because I had intentionally given myself a soft start so far as metal goes with a lot of shallow veins but didn't realize what that would really mean. I had to designate a bunch of mining operations because my fortress was absolutely overflowing with iron ore, to the point where I no longer had any *rocks* to build a smelter with. I'm absolutely loving the new manager interface, I never really used it previously because it was a pain to manage but here it's "oh, you got more migrants? Well we got those beds you asked for boss, no problem". Especially the easy to use suggested parameters at the bottom. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Dec 9, 2022 |

I think we need more info than this. Is the "pile" all one stack? Could it be "in use" and so not available to other dwarves? Is it a burrow issue? Can you set up a stockpile for it and see if it gets moved? Are you sure you have yarn cloth and not thread? I'm brainstorming but all I can come up with is that 'no yarn cloth' means 'no yarn cloth I'm allowed to use'. So it's claimed by another dwarf or in an inaccessible location to the dwarf that needs it.

RBA-Wintrow posted:I think we need more info than this. I unbuilt and rebuilt the loom and it seemed to be normal after that, I think it was all stacked 'under' the loom block or in trying to access the bin behind the loom block that the dwarves couldn't walk or grab things from. I assume I missed the fact the body of the loom can't be walked through when I built the workshop so I blocked my storage bins so the cloth was stuck 'en route' to an inaccessible stockpile, thank you for suggesting a new stockpile. Unfortunately I think I settled too far away from my parent civilization so I don't think I can get any more migrants but other than that we have excellent sock makers.
