Is there a trick to keeping game FPS from dropping even on a new fort? Is it because I always embark on a brook or river? It'll often go down to sub-20 until I pause and let it catch up.

You need to place chests in the tavern zone, where the cups can be stored, and then you also need a drinks stockpile in the tavern zone, and I think you also need a tavern keeper assigned to the tavern to fill and serve the cups. Wheelbarrows are assigned to stockpiles, when you have the settings for a stockpile open, one of the buttons is a barrel icon, you use that to set number of barrels, bins, and wheelbarrows desired at that stockpile. I don't know about minecarts.

Tavern keepers aren't needed, all they really do is make everyone super drunk. I just put the chests in the tavern with the mugs, and everyone grabs a mug, then a drink from the stockpile.

If I put a food stockpile in the tavern, do I even need a dining hall?

I only use dining halls for the snobby nobles that need their own dining rooms. A tavern with a food stockpile next to it serves everyone else.

Danaru posted:The underground caves hit a lot of similar notes to what you want, it's not quite the same but it's great fun to explore Alright, here's the worldgen nonsense you want to try out. Make a new world. Do these advanced settings.  Means that rivers carve deep furrows through hills and mountains.  Means that cliffs don't get sanity checks and remain craggy and steep.   Means that the world is unusually lumpy. Then find an embark site where a river approaches a mountain from the WEST. Choose a embark window that is half mountain, with a bit of forest on the western side so you can make beds, bins, and barrels. You'll have a mighty mountain you can dig into the face of, with a powerful river cutting a huge blade deep into the earth, and probably a pretty bonkers waterfall. And you can put a bunch of rooms open to the river chasm (which can be several Z levels deep) so your dwarves work and sleep open to the rushing rapids below, which is cool. But if you do that giant eagles can fly in so maybe not?

I saw this (giant) bird that can't sing... Then a while later came Spos the Hollow, the forgotten beast, a blob of ash.  It had one kill to its name before arriving here. A cow, somewhere. Then while roaming the caverns, it came across a friendly gorlak. And pushed it, and pushed it again, until the poor gorlak had become a paste against the cavern walls. But then, Spos came upon one of the drone ant spearmen also roaming about. And was stabbed, one single time.  That was all it took to dispel the ash blob.

What's a good Mineral Scarcity setting if I want to go above the default 100 like people are talking about? With a range of 100-100,000 I'm not sure where a good middleground is  e: I set it to 5000 and now most embark sites only have one metal type :| deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Dec 14, 2022 |

Mystic Mongol posted:Alright, here's the worldgen nonsense you want to try out. Another trick I picked up along with these is setting the Elevation Mesh:  This will make it so that the vast majority of biomes are either (1) High Elevation or (2) low elevation, which leads to a lot more craggy cliffsides.

If you want dwarves to serve themselves, you also need to have a cup stockpile (they wont take cups from the tavern coffer)

Oh man I put so much work in to my gigantic grand dining hall .. it was one of the first big things I did. I swear dining halls used to be both assigned to individuals and “for everyone else”. I’ve been wondering the entire game why nobody really used it. Thanks guys.

But that was when you designated a room by flood fill from a piece of furniture. The zone-based rooms are just different, and honestly make more sense than the old way.

poemdexter posted:Where do I increase the FPS so that the game runs faster? I just realized I played for like 8 hours yesterday and barely was into year 2. Game settings > Game frames-per-second cap. You can also enable an FPS display there. If the simulation's too heavy it might not hit the fps cap you set.

I kind of hope that they just never add child dwarf sprites like they're planning because it's very funny to me to have 20 kids running around, half of which were born with long grey beards.

free version has always defaulted to sparse. it's not too rough really, you have to go below sparse to start getting the serious poverty embarks but if you just want a "normal" classic DF experience then sparse is the way to go

oh, related to making the economy less rocket fueled-I'm considering making dwarves consume more food+drink and/or making meals/alcohol less valuable in trading. anyone know if this'd be straightforward to do?

Is your wealth determined by how much you trade or how much you bring to trader or just how much stuff you have in your fort?

SpiritOfLenin posted:i have decided to leave the angry antwoman queen alone in my fort as she lives in her hole and regularly solo kills trolls and other monsters in the caves. i suspect unless she gets instantly hit into somewhere where it hurts - like when my Worst Mom of the Year dwarf militia member just absolutely demolished an ettin while holding her traumatized baby in her non-weapon hand - she's gonna take down even decently geared dwarves. If they're immobile it is a good kinda natural defense tool. Mine was too close to my trading depot and surface entrance for that. Weird thing about Antpeople is 1v1 half the time they die like ants, the other they're unkillable death machines. When I have my squad actually all together in a cluster, not half of them loving off or sleeping or whatevs, they mow through them. If someone is killed or injured, it's usually because a weapon was grabbed from them after stabbing it (im guessing they have 4 arms, good grappling) and they were the first one there and a thousand combat things seem to happen instantly. How do combat rounds work, I'm so used to rules-based systems with very structured artificial turn sequencing I can't make heads or tails of how combat resolves. Dice rolls with a lot of body parts to pick from, is it random, is it modeling a 3d body to simulate organ placement idk.
