Of course someone would make things weird, when it's canon that dorfs reproduce in the same asexual way that fungi do.Cup Runneth Over posted:One stone creates 4 blocks and the constructing dwarf can move with the block without being slowed down.

Unlike many other fantasy settings, affinity is not placed along faction lines - so you can be at war with dwarves and friends with other night creatures, and no creature is inheritly war-like. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Dec 10, 2022 |

Gnoman posted:No deaths except for the werelizard itself, and only two bites that were quickly expelled. Turned out there were actually four bit dwarves, and the two that were missed exploded into violence in the temple soon afterward. This was put down, but it was effectively impossible to track down everybody *they* bit, inevitably resulting in over forty dwarves slaughtered in an instant when the time of the change came around once more. The handful of survivors fled into the wilderness. Why not stay on and let nature run its course? Lizard Fortress sounds like a pretty good time.

For people having migrant issues, there's a variety of things that affect it, but I find that trading generously to the dwarf caravans (their profit number turns green) seems to attract well. And just having higher wealth in general. If you can get basic safety and 'not starving immediately' down, sometimes just smoothing out the rock and having someone on making rock crafts on repeat can help out. Also my wardogs are like a bee swarm now. About every person of the military has 5 dogs following them at all times. I send one squad out on a raid to steal books from a goblin conquered forest, and it took almost a season to get all the dogs out of the map. There's casualties, sure. But they breed way faster. And they rip out goblin throats real good. Drakenel fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Dec 10, 2022 |

In my experience the #1 way to ensure you get migrants is to let worldgen run a little longer so populations are higher, and embark near-ish to high population civs.

yeah but I like my small world I can actually influence. Drive the goblins back to their fortresses. Bring civilizations to ruin. The wardog program works better than I thought. Give an attack order to the squad and they're like furry little missiles. They just jump on and knock the enemy down while the soldier casually walks up and puts them out of their misery.

Check the tasks menu (second from the left, on the bottom left) and see what everyone is doing instead, might give a clue. If I build a roof over a pasture, will grass grow back for the animals pastured there? I usually bring a handful of breeding turkeys but don't like leaving them exposed. Edit: Oh make sure your "Refuse" stockpile outside also has a Dumping zone on top of it, that's usually worked for me. Remember that the Corpse stockpile is for friendly corpses, Refuse is for non-friendly/animals. Admiral Joeslop fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Dec 10, 2022 |

This is a really dumb question, but Google couldn't help me. I tried to dig a three tile-wide channel, but messed up one of the edges, and now there's an open space there and I can't order my dwarves to dig down. I tried building a wall and a floor on that spot and one level below to reset it, but nothing works. Any ideas?

Do you have a natural wall on the lower level and open space without floor on the top level? The easiest way to deal with that would be to send someone down into the channel and dig out the wall normally. You should have safety ramps or stairs anyway in case your dwarves fall into the channel.

You basically got it right, except it's a built floor on the lower level instead of a wall, and open space without floor on the top level. When I try to dig a channel on the open space, nothing happens. This is what it looks like in the lower level, in case that helps: Beecheese fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Dec 10, 2022 |

Nosre posted:I'm at 120 residents now and more stuff just seems to be breaking, I'm going to retire this and restart. Is it possible it's due to framerate? In your butcher shop the items being left behind are refuse and corpses which generally go into a refuse/corpses stockpile - however, you have flagged them for dumping, so they are marked to be moved into a garbage dump instead. If you haven't designated a garbage dump zone, these items will never be moved because they have no destination to be moved to. Remove the dump flag from these items and they will be moved into an available refuse stockpile. If you create a garbage dump zone (using the zone menu) it will move these items to the garbage dump you designate. This isn't generally a good idea for volatile trash unless the garbage dump is set up to be a pit over a magma source, however. the wall job is being cancelled because the builder is getting startled by something, you probably have some giant birds around, or something dangerous in the moat that is scaring them off. dwarves have a bad habit of claiming items (making it their property) and then dropping them in random places, once something belongs to a dwarf other dwarves will generally avoid picking it up, I believe this can apply to food items. Dwarves seem to do this more often when the food stockpile fills up, even if it's only temporarily full. I don't think there's anything you can proactively do about this, cleaning up unwanted personal items is one of the main reasons people use DFHack sometimes outdoor corpses can be marked as dangerous / forbidden, this can happen if a dwarf carrying the corpse back gets startled and drops it, for example. If a corpse is forbidden, the dwarves won't get around to burying it. If you can't get a corpse buried, you can make a slab and then engrave it at a stonecarver to create a memorial for the dead dwarf. Placing the memorial anywhere in your fort after it has been engraved will get rid of the ghost. Mirthless fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Dec 10, 2022 |

Likewise if the butcher shop is outside. I think the nearly fully enclosed shop may also be contributing to this problem tbh, it appears like they have largely done away with impassable workshop squares but it was such a constant problem in earlier builds that I generally build 3x3 shops in 5x5 rooms and if I need to space save for multiple workshops I will build a much larger room than I need and cluster the workshops in the center, with plenty of buffer room for movement around the edges. Likewise for the corpses, I checked a bunch of times that they were not forbidden and that the outside collection labour options were toggled on. Maybe it was the 'only selected do this' thing  On the plus side, my new embark looks kicking rad The wagon, with a curving small river cutting around it, cliffs to the south, and a big chasm  The smaller river waterfalls 23 levels down to the big one in the gorge below  Dwarves need to not have a fear of heights to enter this fort. Also, the defensive possibilities are endless!

Affi posted:Whats the best way to get and store water? If you have a river nearby, you dig a tunnel to the edge of the river, set up floodgates and use it to flood a location underneath your living area so you can hook up wells to it If you don't have a river nearby, you will probably need to dig to the cave to actually get a reliable fresh water source. You can kind of rely on surface ponds, but dwarves don't like drinking stagnant water. in either the case of a river or surface ponds, you really want to divert it into a below-ground cistern so your dwarves can safely access their water supply without having to leave the fort, for ponds you want these rooms to be slightly smaller than the pond they are draining from or you will end up evaporating it all away. For rivers, you need floodgates on both sides, and probably some wall grates to keep the floodgates from getting clogged. Overfilling a cistern is generally a fortress ending screwup so be very careful if you are diverting a river for fresh water.

Things have been pretty tense in the burrow; every few minutes a dwarf storms into the manager's office and yells at him for a while before going back to the tavern across the hall. It's just Glengarry Glen Dwarf down here, everyone taking out their poo poo on that rear end in a top hat Williamson.
