OK the military is pretty confusing. I've got my squad set up with a couple of members and I've given them a train order, and set the schedule to constantly train. They're currently only doing individual training but according to the wiki they can do sparring and demonstrations as well, how can I make them do those? The keyboard shortcuts mentioned on the wiki aren't helpful. Also they all became marksdwarfs for some reason even though they have a battleaxe and hammer equipped. Is it just because I placed an archery range in their barracks? Is there like a training dummy to place for their melee skills?

Popete posted:Is there a difference making walls out of block versus stone? A single rock becomes four blocks at a workshop and makes a smooth wall, which is difficult to climb. In addition to this, blocks are light and are stored in bins, meaning they can be moved quickly, thus meaning your wall gets built far faster, and take up little space in stockpiles, as opposed to rocks that sit there one per tile. Also, once completed, walls are map tiles and thus not destroyable by building destroyers.

Khanstant posted:My intention with this boring box design was to build myself a tower carved into this mountain to protect myself from undead invasion. i realize as this siege starts that i have easy come easy go ramps on most edges, the doors do nothing, i have no military. i dont know how to get my dwarfs to even get inside even if these hatches were actually built and could be locked. actually, i was able to get the hatches and locked down. I lost my Bowyer "Muppets" and her baby "Kermit" and basically all of my animals, but the undead are just milling around slaughtering all wildlife now. Do they ever leave or do we all just live underground now? A visiting troupe made a mess upstairs with their bones and blood. edit: haha I think people are happier since I put everyone on just smoothing and engraving duty to make sure they all stay indoors.

You need no altar, the immortal science of Marxism-Uristism allows you to declare any area to be a temple. Praise the stone. You do need to do something to make the room worth dollars if you're trying to fulfill a mandate but if you just want to make a little Prayer Hut, that's easy.

Ah, hell. I dunno if I'm ready. First force of darkness has arrived. I have burrows, and multiple layers of doors for the moment with traps behind them. One full squad of fully equipped iron militia... Its been a weird time dragging this fort into not killing itself with stupidity. Monster hunters do nothing but beat off in the corners of the tavern and let troglodytes, giant mole rats, and other nuisances just walk right up to the mine halls. Eventually kicked most of them out and just sealed it up. There's nothing I truly need down there yet anyway. Weirdly the most unhappy and enraged citizens are all children. I dunno why. Guess cause I don't make toys for them or something. I'm no urban planner, so my fort is pretty boxy, and fairly insecure once inside the main area. But if they get that far, I'll take the Fun. I also have like, 70 war dogs just chilling out. Might just overrun the goblins. It's been interesting, adjusting to the new ui. I do miss some QOL stuff in the old version, but this is pretty good too. Any chance I could get a gang tag too? edit: nevermind, lol. They took one look at my overcrowded fort and went 'nope'. siege over I guess.

Did catch a pair of snatchers trying to sneak in. One militia caught them, bashed one in the foot with her shield and crushed it. Then immediately followed up by cleaving its head in two with her axe. I love this game.

My recent fort is going OK but it's kind of slow going. I may just still be learning the new interface. The place definitely seems more LIVELY with all of these graphics, although I also saw a bunch of people being moody little binches for no good reason. I had like four people try to sneak into my fortress with a battle oath to recover some random book I bought off a drat human caravan, like it's a Silmaril or something. Their contributions of steel shields were appreciated. Fun fact, I still don't know how to do anything with burrows.

If you need a basic 'get your asses inside, you bleeding morons. There's a seige outside' burrow. Just click the button at the bottom that looks like a weekly planner for pills. Make a new burrow and define it by painting everywhere you want included. They won't step outside of the burrow without very specific circumstances. When you've got everything, assign all the dwarves to it. When you want them to go back to their bullshit, click the pause button to disable the burrow. Note that squads with orders will ignore burrows.

Nessus posted:Designate the cistern as a pond. Try to make the cistern as close to the river as is feasible, as the dwarf jogs. You may want to designate the cistern to have multiple overlapping ponds (so if it's 2 x 2, try to set it up so there's four "ponds" so you get four bucket brigade jobs going). So my fort has a large courtyard and the floor beneath it is dug out and I dug out the floor in the middle as a canal with a cute bridges running across it. Do I want to mark the lower floor. I just designate the tile above an empty floor space as a pond, right?

Tried using a method of moving magma using magma safe minecarts and wheelbarrows I found on DF wiki but it didn’t work, no idea if I was doing it wrong or is doesn’t work in this version. I really wish we had vertical and horizontal pipes because pump stacks are messy and gross. Let me suck magma from the core with a big tube!!! Also a group of 5 agitated giant sparrows torn through 12 dwarves in a few minutes. Guess I need to start a military earlier GruntyThrst fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Dec 10, 2022 |

Do I want to mark the lower floor. I just designate the tile above an empty floor space as a pond, right? I generated quite a considerable quantity of water by digging one z-layer into a light aquifer from above and being patient. It even feels quite clever to look at.

hello internet posted:I thought Elves got super pissed if you try to sell them poo poo made out of wood yet an Elve caravan arrived trying to sell ME a bunch of stuff made out of wood e: gags aside I think it's explicitly something elves generate in their caravans or goods to square the circle of "OK, so how are they getting all this wood?" It also lets them discriminate; if you were to acquire some grown wood knick knacks somehow or other (robbing goblins?) you could presumably sell them to elves no harm no foul.

hello internet posted:I thought Elves got super pissed if you try to sell them poo poo made out of wood yet an Elve caravan arrived trying to sell ME a bunch of stuff made out of wood Elves have some secret magic hippie way of extracting wood from trees without actually cutting them, and THIS wood is okay to produce and sell. If you do a lot of business with Elves it makes some amount of sense to purchase a bunch of their "livingwood" bins and barrels and poo poo to fill with your own trade goods, to ensure you never accidentally try and sell them a non-kosher box filled with stone mugs.

These 3 undead are strong but this one undead elf wrestler is just ungodly. She's 10x faster than anyone else. She mowed through a few human warriors, stole their poo poo, and mowed down another pack of visitors. ive got food and drink enough for a while for my pop of 15. im out of plump helmet seeds, presumably hosed up and cooked? idk, got some laying around in food storage... i have over 200 seeds but theyre all like above ground stuff apparently. hope sweet pods are food lol. guess i can scavenge in the caverns. honestly kinda wanna start a fort and find caverns asap and make a cavern village sometime. the one i got is pretty peaceful, birds and lizards lol. this siege has been going for 2 seasons now, i dont even want to try and train a military. i cant even find the button and all we have is silk, wood, and stone for materials lol.

I lost two miners when I accidentally breach magma (I kinda assumed they wouldn't plow through the semi-molten rocks when building stairs) so they're completely gone, incinerated. I found all their stuff a couple floors up but no corpses of any kind. I can't engrave these slabs at the Craftsdwarf workplace because technically I don't know they're dead yet. Do I just have to wait until/if their ghosts show up or is there another way to force the memorial slabs? Edit: They're done at the Stoneworker's Workshop. Now? Always were?

I think the Outpost Liaison broke in my game  She's just been hanging out in my tavern socializing. Never met with my Mayor or got our demands. My Mayor hasn't been busy, he's just been wandering around doing basic chores like hauling. But there's this:  It seems like the game thinks that this birdwoman is supposed to attend a meeting? Maybe it somehow confused my Mayor with this visitor? So I thought, okay, maybe I'll fix the game by sending my military out to kill her. I mean, a shame we have to murder the peaceful birdwoman but if she's somehow usurped my ability to communicate with the Liaison, it has to be done. Except:  Birdwoman is hanging out roughly in outer space. I'm going to have to build the Tower of Babel to try and get to her if she is the issue. Meanwhile it's now late Winter and the Liaison is still just chilling in the tavern. She seems happy at least but I can't shake the feeling the Mountainhomes are gonna be pissed she never came home. The trade caravan left months ago.
