Also someone stole one of my artifacts!  I have a mission on my world screen to go recover it -- does that mean the culprit made a clean getaway, or can there still be someone to interrogate within my fortress? Also, the my fort hasn't even elected a mayor yet, so I can't assign a captain of the guard or whatever to interrogate suspects. Apparently no one saw anything despite it being in the middle of a busy tavern.

My surviving mildwarfs are now much stronger but also miserable from all the bird death and miasma, hopefully they acclimate well to civilian life for a while! I've been loving the cavebird saga.

So bumbling around in this game, basically clueless but enjoying it nonetheless. Sadly one of the children went mad and cloistered himself in a crafting factory and continuously drew pictures of skeletons and rough gems until he died of dehydration. Subsequently, his ghost attacks the innkeeper on a daily basis. I kinda don't want to know the backstory here.

Those pictures were him trying to communicate to you to have rough gems and bones from a butchered animal so that he could make your fort an artifact and become a legendary craftsdwarf in the process. It's a secretive mood so he doesn't give away very detailed information about exactly what he's doing but just asking for bones and uncut gems was the request here.

AFK'd to talk to my girlfriend this morning, and forgot I had a mood one of my workshops and didn't pause, so pour one out for Rakust. She's now roaming my halls naked and angry. Doesn't seem to be harming anyone's mood too much yet, but I worry about her kids when she kicks the bucket from refusing to eat or drink. Oh well. Also, I'm trying something new: I'm gonna pump magma up to my workshop level and finally make an array of magma smelters and smithies. Wish me luck. I expect no small amount of !!FUN!!.

I think I must have traded all my gems away  His ghost haunting the innkeeper is weird, gonna keep an eye on the innkeeper I think. Perhaps he had a cow bone stashed away somewhere and wouldn't share.

Adventures In DF Modding: friend complains that its dumb that dwarfs cant get water from snow, i agree look up reactions decide its probably impossible see theres an adventure mode ability to make snow into water find out its hardcoded try to write a reaction anyways to do it surprised to see that dwarf fortress accepted it without question it doesnt appear in fortress mode remember i have to actually make it so the dwarf civilization entity has [PERMITTED_REACTION:Make_Snow_Into_Water] it appears now surprised yet again to see that dwarf fortress recognized my calling of the hardcoded 'WATER:NONE' material in POWDER_MISC form constitutes 'Snow' dwarfs will not collect snow. dwarfs cannot actually recognize the existence of snow, or any other 'coating'. but they will recognize WATER:BOULDER as Ice edit the reaction the game recognizes Ice as something you need now, and the dwarfs can collect it when its a boulder reaction is peformed water is placed into a bucket i think they can drink out of a bucket??? check bucket ice is in the bucket it froze move the reaction indoors, try again the dwarf works, then stops the water is outside the bucket it melted too fast third time, got bucket faster, water is now in the bucket i still dont know if they can drink out of it

 I don't know how or why I have so many goddamn Mussel shells. Also I still haven't really figured out how to maintain a supply of Drink, like I just can't grow enough Plants to keep my Still fueled. For a game whose tagline is apparently "Losing is fun!" I figured things would be going more off the rails with ~80 dorfs and no booze. edit; woops lol, I figured Alt+Print Screen wouldn't capture my picture-in-picture

I caged about a dozen goblin invaders and decided they'd make good target practice. My 10 marksdwarves could use some live fire time, god knows they don't spend enough at the archery ranges. Logically, if I use bone bolts instead of metal, they'll get more shots off and thus more skill time. The fortifications are built, the cages are hooked to the lever, the dwarves are in place. It took them TWO MONTHS to kill them all. They're miserable. So much miasma. Granted, they mostly all shot up at least a couple of skill levels, but AT WHAT COST (the cost is tanking the happiness of my fortress) Anyway, learn from my mistake. Do 1 or 2 at a time, not 12, and do them outdoors.

My rock tasks don't seem to be going to my stoneworker workshops for some reason. I have a stoneworker assigned to only do stoneworker labor (cutting, smoothing, engraving, masonry) and a few others assigned to also do them (but not exclusively) but the tasks just aren't showing up in the workshops. Any ideas why? Edit: oh... my manager is in the hospital. That's why isn't it? Edit 2: yep. That's why. Decon fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Dec 15, 2022 |

Until you open up the caverns, I think you're better off sourcing brewable material from plant gathering on the surface.

Merchants seem to have difficulty leaving your trade depot in this version. Deconstructing the depot will kick them out, but I'm pretty sure that in some previous versions this counted as stealing all their poo poo and would piss of their civilization eventually. New merchants won't show up if you have one at your depot, at any rate. I'm also having trouble attracting migrants.

Volcano fort news: things have been quiet for a while, I crushed the two nearby goblin villages and their farther cousins sent a very middling raid party to my fort and got promptly slaughtered. I've been training up my squads and setting up a trap corridor, waiting for the other foot to drop and... finally a challenge! An ettin is approaching my fort! Into the burrows, raise the drawbridge, guard the stairs and wait for it to walk the corridor of death! Turns out the ettin was weak and cowardly, and one macedwarf and one herbalist were enough to pummel it to death. The only casualty on my side was a cat that got mauled by the ettin, and one of my dwarves fell into the spike pit and injured his leg...

I also had a billion mussel shells, I suspect from dwarves fishing at the river and utilizing a fishery. Even five years after we ran out of mussels to harvest I'm still offloading boxes of shell figurines.

I apparently missed assigning some of my animals to pastures because they starved to death, rip. I have their bodies now down to skeletons in a corpse stockpile outside. I remember being able to butcher skeletons at a butchery to reclaim the bones and skulls and things but I'm not seeing an option, dis i make this up? It wouldn't let me butcher it right after it dropped dead either. I also started a fort a bit ago with invasions/sieges/etc all turned off to ease back into things but now I've mostly eased and I'm bored. Should I trust it to eventually provide me with shenanigans or should I try to actually get minecarts working for the first time ever?

I noticed one of my dwarfs is a "sunless one" and has blue skin. Did this guy die and get raised by my necromancer, or was he already like this when he immigrated? If it's the former I'd consider building my necromancer some kind of drowning observation chamber. My Giant Kea Elimination Committee could use some undead.

Pickled Tink posted:Welp, I would really appreciate instructions on how to mark animals for butchering and/or gelding. I have a dogsplosion going on. Go to the list of units and click on the pets tab. There's a bloody cleaver icon that marks them for butchering, once they're marked it'll be done automatically if you have an available butcher workshop and a dwarf capable of that labor. Dunno about gelding but I'd assume it's similar. But hey, if you can turn your dogsplosion into a stable system your dwarfs could be eating dog brain biscuits while wearing dog bone leggings and sipping sewer brew from dog leather flasks.

So... don't mix necromancers into your militia. Unless they're all necromancers. Even then, maybe don't. Problem is, the odds of making intelligent undead are REALLY HIGH now for some reason. And it still comes with the whole 'their original allegiance still stands' thing. So what ends up happening is you'll cut down some elf, a necromancer will raise them as an intelligent undead... that's still hostile. You put it down, but they KEEP DOING IT for the entire battlefield, and the game slows to a crawl. Keep your refuse and corpse stockpiles well hidden, and keep the purple brigade indoors when you can. I might have to give up on this fortress if I can't get it under control.
