Pretty sure it was always set to 2500 before, aka "sparse" like the other poster said. It made Iron much more exciting to find, but I like the new way better honestly.

I have a ton of cow hair thread, water buffalo hair thread, reindeer hair thread, yak hair thread, grizzly bear hair thread, moose hair thread, and even two giant mole hair thread. But I can't make cloth out of those? They're neither plant fiber thread (obviously), silk thread (obviously), nor yarn. They're a fourth kind of non-weaveable thread?

Is there a way to make the game pause-and-zoom on certain events, e.g. thieves? Like, is there anything to edit in any of the d_init file or anything? By the time I see half of my important alerts, it's way too late. ninja edit: may have already answered my own question by looking in announcements.txt

What's the difference between a container limit and an empty container limit condition when setting up work orders? I think I want to set it so there is always like 10 spare barrels/bins/jugs. madmatt112 posted:I must know if it is a helm made from the leather of a Super Yak, or it is a super helm made from the leather of a Yak.

In case any of you find this useful: If your stockpiles are set to use wheelbarrows, then the number of hauling jobs maxxes out at that number of wheelbarrows. I had a huge stockpile for stone and only one hauling job at a time until I increased the # of wheelbarrows from 1 to like 15.

Khanstant posted: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. I know for sure It's simulating the full body, locations of parts and connections between parts. E.g. a limb can be severed, fly off and hit somebody, the trajectory and speed are all calculated. I believe armour is simulated, but I dunno if it sustains damage. Dunno how damage and combat decisions are simulated though

I've been having a real hard time starting a fort up and getting it off the ground without something making me restart. I just started a new world and fort, decided to build in the cavern layer. Right from the bat I dug to -89 elevation before finding the first cavern layer. Started digging things out there. Then in late summer of the first year with only ~5000 created wealth, one of my dwarves was declared king

Popete posted:Do I need to setup stockpiles/workshops to use wheelbarrows or can I just build them and by default they'll get used? Click the barrel icon on the stockpile menu and it'll give you an option for how many wheelbarrows to use. It's automatic other than that, just make sure you have enough wheelbarrows. I'm pretty sure classic df had the wheelbarrows occupy a stockpile slot, whereas here it can be shared with whatever the item on the ground is, so that's a nice improvement.

Stockpiles also seem to default to 1, maybe 3 on stone? Previous builds limited them to 3 max per stockpile but now you can increase that, probably to the size of the stockpile itself.Danaru posted:Quoting this so I can find it later Don't ever quote me again, I'm an idiot who knows nothing.

Thank you, and also thanks to the goon who posted the aquifer video. I've been so frustrated by my haulers sitting on their asses with "No job" when I have piles of logs and stone and agitated bird corpses loving everywhere, and I'm pretty sure this is the reason why. The first time I ran into this issue, it took me a few in-game days to realize that building floors deletes staircases, so I had inadvertently sealed my fortress off from the surface and caused most of my dwarves to stand around doing nothing.

Hey, so, what labor profiles do you guys use slash set up for yourselves? I haven't messed with them too much, but as my fort is slowly growing in size and scope, I'm finding myself wanting to start specializing more of my dwarves. I'm sure the standard labor profiles are probably insufficient for like 80% of use cases, so how do you guys like to set them up? Also, somewhat related, what's the current meta for squad setups? I know there's issues with ranged dwarves right now unless you use the default ranger uniform, but like, are hammer squads still OP, or is it the spear squads that are now the new meta, or is it sword-and-board setups, or what?

Food basically makes itself, crazy how you can forge metal items or a bin of jewels and crafted items and they sell for less than a couple of meals that were going to collect dust in the basement.

When you select your origin civilization on the world map before choosing a site to settle, it will list the population and number of settles sites for that civilization (and also highly their general location). I got offered a civilization with no sites remaining and a population of 1.

Ah, okay I definitely chose between a handful of the "living" civs with plenty of folks. Might try a dead civ one day just to take over and see how I can affect it, maybe raid all the ruins. It would be cool to be able to retire/hold a fort, have the world keep advancing history for XX years then let you hope back in and check out how your fort has fared or influenced the world. Maybe take control of it or even found a new one or opposing one.

Barrels allow you to store more than one food item stack on each tile, so improves storage density, but some stacks are so large that they can't be put in a barrel. For example large animals (or some forgotten beasts) can produce huge stacks of meat that can't fit in a barrel, and if those meat or tallow stacks are then used in cooking, it can result in even bigger stacks.

I'm sure the standard labor profiles are probably insufficient for like 80% of use cases, so how do you guys like to set them up? I usually use the profiles when I have a large fortress, need multiple specialists on multiple workshops and it doesn't make sense to assign them individually. Usually that means furnace operators, cooks, distillers, and plant processors. That way I can (e.g.) keep the steel industry going when half my furnace operators are praying in the new death cult temple. For small fortresses it mostly makes more sense to build multiple of the same workshop and assign them individually. I also use empty profiles to mark strong/tough dwarves that I want to put in the military. A big "V" next to their labor button makes them easier to find on the military assignment list.

I've got something weird going on with all these human swordsmen sneaking around my fortress. They're all looking for an artifact, the Sanctum Trumpet. At first it was just mild curiosity, but now these humans are murdering each other in the streets of my fortress. My dwarves are physically unscathed, but they're constantly traumatized by all the violence. Mysteriously, my dwarven children keep giving information to these humans about the whereabouts of this Sanctum Trumpet. The only thing is, we don't own a Sanctum Trumpet. Ain't ever seen a Sanctum Trumpet in my life. It's turned into a regularly occurring cycle. A Traveling human swordsman comes around, the kids tell them about this trumpet, the humans come and pray to our gods and get drunk in our tavern and then begin murdering each other.

 You'd have to be patient to deal with 12 Kobold children. Until you run out and they get shoved into the Wood Furnace. neogeo0823 posted:Hey, so, what labor profiles do you guys use slash set up for yourselves?

I'm sure the standard labor profiles are probably insufficient for like 80% of use cases, so how do you guys like to set them up? Here is what I set up every game. I don't know if it is actually good and helpful or not but I haven't run into many problems with it. The only premade profiles I use are Mining and Fishing; I originally put Fishing in my Food Production tab but that resulted in them mostly just fishing instead of anything else so I set 1 or 2 of them as a Fisherdwarf. The basic idea is that most dwarves are specialized into something besides Dogsbody, and Dogsbody is leftover for anyone with free time. This way, if I need to restrict certain people I can turn Specialization on for them and they'll only do their assigned tasks instead of Dogsbody stuff. The Hauling Union is basically to make sure I always have a handful of Dwarves hauling things or pulling Levers; if I'm doing some big construction I'll turn it off them. pre:=====Work Details===== Dogsbody (Everybody does this) Masonry Stonecutting Stone Engraving Feed Patients/Prisoners Recovering Wounded Tanning Farming (Fields) Beekeeping Soap Making Wood Burning Potash Making Lye Making Milling Plant Gathering Plant Processing Milking Gelding Shearing Spinning Furnace Operating Hauling (All) Cleaning Lever Operation Road Building Wall/Floor Construction Fort Production (Only selected do this) Carpentry Crossbow-Making Stone Carving Mechanics Misc.

you can click on the World button in the lower right corner, and then click Artifacts and scroll through til you find the Trumpet. I don't think the thing is hidden in your fortress, its probably a rumor spread by another visitor who got drunk and told everybody in the tavern. Your children are spreading it because children are lazy and they hang out in the tavern all day so they gossip constantly
