My base got infected with the fungus so I moved 10 grazing animals into a pen where the majority of it is, and they just can't seem to eat it fast enough. Is the best option just building flooring over it?

Why are you silly dwarfs hauling stuff? There's plenty of other things to do. I do not need my rocks in a pile as a priority!

What Skill loadouts are people giving their starting seven these days? Last time I got deep into that was back before Zones were a useful thing, and while the default "Play Now" dorfs are good enough, I still feel like I could optimize the workflow a bit. At least find a way to fit a second miner in there somewhere.

 My first forgotten beast showed up! It was a giant freakin' spider in my caverns. Ok, I got my 15 military dwarves together and stationed them at the one staircase into the caverns that I have. It was wandering around down there. Maybe I should initiate and engage?  ... nope! Definitely not. Well, eventually it wandered its way to my cavern entrance/exit and I ordered my dwarves to attack it. Basically the same thing that happened to the troglodytes (getting one-shot by its giant feet) happened to my dwarves. Except you know how I had mentioned in my previous post that two necromancers had migrated at some point? Yeah, one of them was in a squad and the moment his fellow mates went down he just rezzed them.  The "strategy" basically turned into distracting the spider long enough with risen-corpses until something finally happened. I'm actually not sure at what point the tide changed, except that the zombies were now punching the spider and one of the living dwarves got a couple hits in with a weapon before going down. Eventually the beast succumbed to the assault. I now have four zombie-dwarves. Luckily my novice doctor is on the case:  I can't seem to put them back into the military but can otherwise assign them labors as usual. Cool, I guess?

I'm stuck on what should be a simple problem. I want to extend a staircase up a floor where I haven't mined out above. Basically I dug down, put in a drawbridge and now I want to go up to some dirt from the stairs behind the drawbridge that go into my fort proper. I can't mine up, the game won't let me build the staircase up since it's not mined, and converting stairs from down to up/down didn't make it to steam. So how do I build up to an unmined floor?

So, I'm trying to set up small feeder stockpiles for my kitchen and still. The kitchen happened just fine, but is there any easy way to select brewable stuff for the still stockpile? Or do I have to go through the list of fruit/leaves and plants and manually select everything that can be brewed?

At least find a way to fit a second miner in there somewhere. unless you're going into untamed wilds or an evil biome you probably don't need to spend your starting skill points on mining at all. they'll get good at it within a season and legendary within 2 years at the most. i tailor the skills around the dwarf's personality but i'm always shooting for: a stone carver a carpenter a cook a brewer an expedition leader/broker (judge of intent, appraiser, negotiator, etc.) a doctor a farmer a weaponsmith an armorsmith and that'll leave you with room for 4 more skills to raise to 5 based on what you want to emphasize in your playstyle. dwarves are strong enough to do brute-force tasks like mining, woodcutting, etc. passably well even without skills and they'll improve rapidly, and a lot of other vital crafting tasks are only sped up, not improved, by dwarf skill.

thunderspanks posted:Has anyone figured out if/how macros work with mouse control? Ok so if anyone is wondering (and I highly recommend you wrap your head around macros in the long run if you haven't already) it is not possible with mouse controls. However, you can turn keyboard controls on in the settings, and it works! Now the problem- it only works to record with a very specific key sequence, for me at least. What I've discovered is that you must get your mining selector where you want the macro to start recording. Then push CTRL+r to start recording. Then hit 'm', yes, even though you're already in mining mode, you must hit it again after starting to record or it just spews garbage on playback. The rest is as it ever was, use the keyboard to map out your macro, hit CTRL+r to stop recording and CTRL+s to save. Once I figured that out I got all my major floor assignments done in no time. Hot tip- use it in combination with blueprint mode. Your future forts will thank you.

After a couple false starts I think I'm understanding the basics and got a reasonable little outpost built, with individual bedrooms, a tavern, plump helmets and fish sufficient enough to keep booze and food churning out, and even an underground reservoir and well. I read somewhere that flood gates could work vertically but I could not place them once I channeled out the floor, so either that's out of date or I'm doing it wrong... ended up with a less optimal method of feeding water from the river into the reservoir under the well. F1 - Wood and Refuse stockpiles, Pasture  B1 - Trade Hall, water inlet from brook  B2 - Craft Hall, Mushroom Farm, Tavern, Well, Storage  B3 - Offices, Reservoir Top  B4 - Bedrooms, Bunkroom, Reservoir Bottom  I think organizing some of these newcomers into a Militia is the next order of business.

explosivo posted:My crossbow squad won't seem to pick up the bolts I have around, anyone know why? I accidentally deleted the preset loadouts so I'm using a custom one, and can't find anything in the uniform menu to add ammo. They have crossbows and quivers but the bolts aren't getting picked up for some reason. Okay I think it's bugged or something because I deleted the squad and re-created it using the same loadout and everything and they picked up bolts right away and started practicing.

Unsolicited advice ahead! Trader carts need a 3 wide entrance to reach your trade depot and I don't believe they can use stairs, it needs to be a ramp if you're not gonna put it on ground level. Also it's usually advised to build a 3x3 or at least 2x2 main stairway through your fort as at larger populations you'll have a lot of dwarves running up and down those stairs.

The kitchen happened just fine, but is there any easy way to select brewable stuff for the still stockpile? Or do I have to go through the list of fruit/leaves and plants and manually select everything that can be brewed? Quoting myself because I was wrong and I think either it's bugged, or I set something up wrong. I set up 4 feeder piles around my kitchen. One each for meat, fruit/leaves, milled things like flour, and cheeses. They are set to take from my big stockpile, and give to my kitchen. My kitchen, meanwhile, is set to give everything it makes to my dining hall prepared meal stockpile. To make sure I hit the right icon, the one with the arrow pointing towards the stockpile takes from another pile and gives it to this one, right? And the one with the arrow pointing away moves things from this pile to another place, right? Assuming I have that all correct, nothing's working. No one is hauling anything to the feeder piles, and my kitchen keeps canceling making the meals I'm trying to get set up. I unlinked the feeder piled and suddenly the kitchen is making food again, but of course the dwarf working it is rendering a whole pile of tallow, probably for a big batch of tallow roasts or some bullshit. What do I do here?

I haven't found an easy way to do it. A roundabout way is that the petitioner will usually be the largest untempled religion in your fort (you see the number of worshippers as you go to assign the temple), and in the details screen there will be a "agreed to build temple) notation.

Go to establish the temple and mouse over the religions as you scroll through, look for anything that rings a vague bell, or shoot from the hip and go with whichever one the tooltip says has the biggest following in your Fort.

At your smith workshop if you select the icon to set the workshop so only one dwarf works there it will give you a list of all your dwarves and their proficiency level.

The tale of two necromancers continues. A while back, the Sect of Dust, a faith worshipping the deity of murder and death Gedor, asked for a personal temple. So I built them one:   At the time the statues, decorations etc weren't quite enough to get it to become prestigious enough, so I stuck an artifact mug on a pedestal in the middle. Well, at some point it went missing, and maybe around the time I personally noticed it, I also got someone who reported it stolen. No leads aside from that, so I had my law dorf go around interrogating randoms to see if anyone knew anything. Well, about ten dwarves in one of them just flat out confessed!  (Ironic that the artifact was named "the Depths of Vanishing" lol.) The necromancer got a slap on the wrist and 28 days in jail. Unfortunately, this goblin monster slayer is nowhere around, so I guess the case kind of ends there. Maybe at some point a visiting bard will let me know they know where it went and I can try to go on a mission to get it back, but I admit I've never interacted with any of that so I don't know how it works. Downside to the justice system: I've been naming all my dwarves random names to make them more memorable to me in the case that they get up to something, but the justice system uses their original names. Actually, what's worse, is it uses their original names + translated last names, whereas the unit list shows their nicknames + untranslated last names. Oof.  edit: after I got done typing this and dealing with a new migrant wave, this same necromancer got elected mayor. Hooo boy.
