I am so loving sick of dwarves getting stuck in trees. Is there any way to get them down besides building huge staircases or cutting down the tree?

The dwarves giving me problems have thought windows like this:  5-10 good thoughts for every 'past trauma'/'past injury'/'being attacked' memory, but they still deteriorate if they stay on duty, and taking a little time off to meet unmet prayer needs isn't enough to fix it on its own. This guy in particular has both 'is often sad and dejected' and 'doesn't handle stress well' as personality traits so he's kind of a hard case

RIP Azuz, the dwarf who was such a wine snob that he spent his last days stomping around the drink storage area furious about always having to drink the same kind of booze until dying from dehydration surrounded by barrels with 200+ drinks. You will not be missed.

The elves will not sell me wood and reject it if I try and buy it from them even if I specifically trade like, an awesome steel breastplate (do they hate those as well?). I've almost cleared every goblin settlement within 2 days travel time of my fortress so time to expand even further in to the caverns and write more books about breathing and pregnancy (to be clear, these are completely different subjects to my scholars)

I got my problem with the minecart quantum stockpile fixed - the problem was I had set both an intake and outtake stockpile for the minecart, and you only want an intake stockpile. However there's another huge problem with it not covered in the video: using a 1-tile source stockpile to place the initial stones in before the minecart dumps them in the quantum stockpile is incredibly inefficient. A 3x3 stockpile for haulers to take stones to is better for two reasons: 1) You can assign 4 Wheelbarrows to it 2) A minecart can hold 5 stone anyway so you save yourself the labor cost of 4 minecart activations (which gets switched out to a different dwarf each time so it takes a while) But this setup with 4 Wheelbarrows assigned to it is incredibly fast at hoovering up your fort's stone:

How do you normally store corpses, and how do you separate the bones from the fresh stuff without your dwarves having to go to the pile and see dead poo poo.

Is there a "Go get these items and put them HERE instead even it it's in some other stockpile" button? I have to delete old stockpiles to make the items in them be dispersed where I want them sometimes.

What's the deal with thieving goblins? I usually don't even get the alert until they're nearly off the map. In this case, 3 showed up about 20 tiles away from escaping, and already heading toward the map edge. Looking at them I didn't see any items they were carrying except for their own gear that I'm 99% sure I didn't have. And it's not like anything is stored near the edge of the map - they'd have to climb down 22 flights of stairs then run past 4 dormitory barracks with fortification walls that always have dwarves training in them. Did they just see my security and nope out or something?

Thieves and snatchers generally seem to be pretty cowardly.

That makes sense, I'd just rather not get the alert at all  But I guess I can ignore it now.On another note I'm having the same problem someone else was earlier with dwarves seemingly stuck at a mining demonstration in the guild hall:  It's currently a ~5600 wealth guild hall (I agreed to make it a Grand Guildhall for them ugh) so nothing absurdly valuable. Most of my dwarves had picked up mining on their own, I tried removing it from several of them but they won't stop watching. They are nearly dying of thirst, and only about 20 tiles away from both alcohol and water. (They eventually run for the drinks, then right back to the demonstration) They were briefly interrupted by one miner who went stark raving mad because he withdrew from society and then never took a workbench and I forgot about him. So he came in and attacked them and they pulverized him and went right back to the mining demonstration. It has been going on for two full seasons now. I'd like to imagine the mining demonstration is like that rockbreaking contest from the hobbit where two people compete to see who can break the most rocks in a row without stopping, and they're both legendary miners who aren't stopping any time soon. e: Also having a Legendary Engraver rules. You can pretty much just build a small room and engrave the walls to satisfy the wealth requirements for basic temples and guild halls, and it's very easy to make nobles happy with tiny rooms if you engrave them all. None of the furniture got added to this room until I started pushing toward the 10k wealth for grand hall e2: I am pretty sure the solution here is just to give them a lot of mining to do. Almost everyone toggled mining on themselves and grabbed a pick and became a miner at some point, and I haven't mined anything for several seasons. They're just mining addicts in need of a fix

Athanatos posted:Is there a "Go get these items and put them HERE instead even it it's in some other stockpile" button? The second, which I have not tested, is to tell the stockpile to feed another stockpile with the requisite settings. I have done this, sort of, with wood in my current fort. I have a surface stockpile inside my surface walls, and that one is used to drop off all the wood from my woodcutter when I send them on a rampage. Every now and then I set it to feed two wood stockpiles inside so dwarves cart poo poo from there to the indoors, and when a workshop pulls out logs, a dwarf heads to the surface, grabs a log from the feeder pile, and carts it to the pile near the workshop. I'm pretty sure you can use this to establish small stockpiles of proper materials near a workshop and have them fed from a great big motherpile elsewhere in the fortress.

Sorry if Im repeating something, there's 700 pages to read through- is combat borked in the Steam version? I trained up three dwarves to mid-level fighters with basic iron gear, then sent them on non-stop raids and pillages. They always come back successfully (with garbage spoils), so I started trying to intentionally get them killed. They levelled up super fast and now I'm sending 3 axelord dwarves to conquer cities with thousands of citizens and they can't seem to lose. Eventually (it took years) my fortress got counter-sieged and my lone military commander killed an invasion force of like 15 armored humans without taking any damage (he got tired). Is this right? Seems kind of not so fun that I can have an unstoppable hit squad after training up 3 nobodies with basic gear in a couple months.

I spent so long building a huge L shaped minecart track. Track stop at both ends. Load up iron ore at one end, drop it off at the other. An order to push the cart west when full. I got so excited when I saw the cart load up and a guy start pushing it down the track. Then he just stopped and abandoned it and someone else came and picked up the cart and carried it by hand to the destination. What the hell? Why's the game always gotta be like this. What have I done wrong? Why don't they just push the drat cart from A to B?

It isn't exactly a balanced game, no. That said, I suspect the raid/pillage aspect is even less balanced than fortress mode. There's a huge luck element with combat where your guys can be badasses for decades then WHOOPS run into some lone badass who killed a thousand things in world gen and got ultralegendary and then your main dudes all get reanimated against you by a necromancer and everyone else tantrum spirals and, well, poo poo.

mst4k posted:I set up 5 of these and it works perfect. Thanks for posting this.  thinking it over now, for pure speed optimization it should be 10 tiles with 5 wheelbarrows - each wheelbarrow is one extra consecutive rock hauling job at a time. 5 would allow 5 rocks to be hauled at once, which is as many as fit in the wheelbarrow.For a larger-scale, faster cleanup operation, add even more tiles and wheelbarrows to the input stockpile, to act as a buffer delivering new stones while the "move rocks into minecart and kick minecart" part of the job is done. I think with enough tiles/wheelbarrows in the input you could essentially have a dedicated 24/7 minecart-kicker, but of course that takes up more and more space - so the even more optimized version would be a small, separate stone stockpile dug into the floor above or below and connected by adjacent stairs that has a few wheelbarrows and space for stones, and setting that stockpile to feed into the one that feeds the quantum tile. But that's all unnecessary min/max "clean up my fort faster" optimization.

Make sure you've got "orderlies" (or the more specific sub-job "take water to patients" or whatever it's called in the job list) either set to "everyone can do this" or, if only some people can do it, the people assigned to it aren't "the people who are hospitalized"

I was adding a few of these so here's a guide in pictures, because I hate video guides. Ultra-efficient high-speed automated quantum stockpiling AKA "My stockpiles finally work like Rimworld with a Deep Storage mod!" 1) Create a 1-tile stockpile marked for the type of good you want to quantum stockpile. Some good candidates are stones, wood, economic rocks, ore, and furniture. Anything you have a lot of, regularly get more of, and that does not stack in containers already. Ideally this is a tile adjacent to one or more crafting stations that use that resource. Critically, make sure the indicated icon is toggled off to ensure that the quantum stockpile remains undisturbed by future hauling. Nothing will be placed on this tile except what the minecart places there.  2) Build a Rail Stop (constructions -> rail stop) adjacent to the quantum stockpile tile. In the settings, make sure the arrow points toward the quantum tile. Also make sure the Braking is set to max (it is by default just don't touch it).  3) Build a second stockpile in the shape shown here, set to the same type of item you want to quantum stockpile. Click the Barrel icon and make sure that 5 wheelbarrows are assigned to this stockpile.  4) Open the Minecart Routes menu in the bottom toolbar. Add a new route. a) add a stop to the route and select the stop you just built. b) assign a minecart to the route c) select the item type you are stockpiling for the route d) designate an input stockpile (the big one you made) but not an output stockpile e) click the set conditions button. In the conditions menu, touch nothing except the options circled in the screenshot below. Make sure the left button shows a foot kicking a minecart, and make sure the arrow points toward the quantum stockpile tile.  And that's it. Now your dwarves will queue up 5 consecutive hauling jobs to the larger stockpile, once it's filled another dwarf will place 5 wood/stone in the minecart, then another dwarf will kick it and those 5 items will move to the quantum tile. By around this point your haulers should be coming back with 5 new items to stick in the minecart. Optional hauling speedrun step: Build adjacent stairs up/down one floor and set up a small stockpile for the same type of item (10-25 tiles) with up to half of that stockpile's tiles assigned to wheelbarrows. Set that stockpile to feed items into the stockpile that feeds the quantum tile. Your hauling chain now includes three stops: Feeder stockpile (puts items into the minecart), buffer stockpile (pre-hauls items to be quickly moved into the feeder stockpile), and quantum stockpile. 3x4 tiles and a minimal early-game material cost to automatically store an infinite amount of any item. And also to finally clean up your goddamn floors in a timely and efficient matter. Sure it's cheaty but storage is my single biggest frustration in this game and this makes it effortless. You can even do food or whatever. Pretend the quantum stockpile setup is Rimworld's nutripaste dispenser and you're dropping an endless stream of sludge into a single tile of your tavern for dwarves to eat and drink. No fiddling with dumping designations or unlocking dumped items. Fully automated!! Hell, do it with your trade goods near the depot, too! deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Dec 18, 2022 |

You can force first contact with civilizations outside your embark zone/those not considered neighbors by sending out a 1 dwarf squad to demand tribute or any of the other world map missions, but demanding tribute is the safest. This will add the unlisted civ to your list and they will show up during the caravan seasonal windows. Sometimes they'll even pay the one-time tribute and give you some junk. I get 4 human civs in the summer on the same day and 4 dwarfs on their season
