Will it piss off the creator if I sell an artifact claimed as a family heirloom?

Once it was filled and the screw pumps started and it was working, I disassembled the walls.

One of my dwarves cooked a bunch of meals, but then left them in the kitchen instead of putting them away in barrels. They're starting to rot. I have open barrels, so how can I force a dwarf to put these away? I'm not sure what labor it falls under.

I'm not sure what labor it falls under. you need a stockpile designated to accept food, specifically prepared meals, with open space. and ideally it needs to also allow barrels. then a dwarf with the hauling labor comes along and hauls the food to the stockpile. in the pre-steam version there were some potential accidental settings togglings that could happen to prevent dwarves from hauling food but I'm not sure if it's possible in the steam version

I’ve got a properly set up food stockpile next to the kitchen, and generally it works fine, most of the food has been making its way there. Just trying to figure out how to get someone to haul these particular meals right now before they spoil. Is there a way to tell dwarves to prioritize hauling a particular item?

DF physics are weird. I wanted to make a pond a bit deeper, so I had my miner widen it until the water level was around 2-3, then designated a few tiles in the middle of it to be channeled, only apparently when digging out the third one, the water rushing into the hole was strong enough to sweep my miner along. Strangely I couldn't find her down in the hole itself. It wasn't until I focused on the miner through the job cancellation alert that I realized she had somehow gotten stuck up in the branches of the tree overhanging the pond several z-levels above.

How do you handle your corpse stockpile? My dwarves get debuffs from just chucking them in a pile outside. Can you dump them down a chute or something?

If you put a refuse stockpile next to a hole they'll throw trash into the hole Ideally that hole is >3 z levels deep with magma at the bottom

Speaking of dumping and holes, I have a one-tile channel down to some magma and occasionally the dwarves dumping stuff in catch on fire and die. I guess the solution is to have them dump from further up?

If a trader caravan gets stuck on my map, how do I get them off? Just realized after 3 seasons of no Migrants it's because these merchants were stuck on the map, in an area I hadn't dug an entrance/built a bridge to. So I corrected that and they now have a route into the base and a route off-map. But they're still just standing here.

deep dish peat moss posted:If a trader caravan gets stuck on my map, how do I get them off? I had a caravan stop and get stuck as it was leaving a fortress of mine as well, and it turned out to be because one of their pack animals had gotten stuck up in a tree somewhere. Eventually they vanished shortly before they were due to make their next visit to the fortress. Trees in general just seem really inclined to eat anyone that comes near them, then slowly kill them with starvation and dehydration.

It gets even better  There are two separate caravans stuck on my map.The other is right here. In the room right next to my trade depot. They had to go PAST my trade depot to get here!  Also my dwarves never even cleared out the items they bought from the trader 1+ year ago!  Anyway, deconstructing the trade depot fixed this and made both sets of merchants finally leave. I guess they were just queued up waiting for it to "clear out" from the previous merchant a year ago. I think this second group is actually the caravan from 1+ year ago and they just never found their way out of this big square room for some reason  e: And I just figured out why. My original trade depot was basically just an outdoor valley in the mountains that dipped into my fortress. But it looks like at some point the ramps that lead down to the trade post collapsed and now it's just a hole in the floor above my trade post.  So now I dug a road through the mountain to fix future issues. Bold Robot posted:This embark looks amazing from the minimap.  It's rad! I spent literally all day yesterday rolling worlds to find it but I finally found map creator settings that place larger rivers next to volcanos, so this is 6 tiles of Minor River forming the Y-split (which has been rerouted into an underground river that feeds a holy water pool in my temple now) and the volcano. Bonus: River + Volcano usually means a silt layer for farming!  if it stands the test of time I plan to expand the rivers into large lakes on either side of the mountain, or just expand the area around the wide lagoon at the bottom center. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Dec 18, 2022 |

deep dish peat moss posted:Ultra-efficient high-speed automated quantum stockpiling From a few pages back, but quoting this so I can find it later, since I also like written guides. By the way deep dish, I remember your first few posts were pretty down on the idea of dwarf fortress, so I'm glad that you not only decided to stick with it a bit more but seem to be enjoying it?  The longer I play the more little things crop up that I wish they'd fix interface-wise or bug-wise, but since it's a "new" release I expect them to get to them eventually. But there is something absolutely magical about dwarf fortress that you can't really get anywhere else. Here's a bolt striking a bat man in the arm, causing him to drop his shield, which smacks him in his leg and causes him to fall over.

On the topic of deep pits, do things eventually fall far enough to explode, or if you make the effort to dig a complete 80 z level hole and have people on the surface throw logs in, will they just collect at the bottom for easy retrieval?

Yeah! I still don't think as "fun" of a "game" as something like Rimworld that's designed to be a "fun game", but Dwarf Fortress really clicked once I realized how similar to Songs of Syx it is and then reframed my perspective more as it being a thing I can just leave running in the background all day as a sort of like, digital ant farm terrarium thing I can shape over time, instead of something I'll sit down and excitedly play all day (though I've still been binging it here and there) I still haven't had much interesting "story" type stuff happen but that's largely because I keep restarting, but I'm digging the just like, planning and engineering weird fort projects side of it a lot.

I tried doing catch-and-release with some hostile dwarves: I'd dump all their items and have them hauled up to a spot on the back of the outer wall where they would be booted off into a mud puddle, and then they'd run away. This worked well for the first two, but then the third escaped while being hauled up the stairs and he killed two of my dwarves before the military put him down. Now everybody gets dropped down a shaft into the caverns, and if they survive they can have fun with the giant tick and his deadly dust.

My fortress is going into a mental health spiral, gave my dwarves bedrooms and several temples and a nice tavern but they keep having tavern brawls, which leads to injuries and deaths, which causes dwarves to be sad. Anything I can do to help? Lots of them have unmet needs for acquiring objects and being extravagant but I don’t know if I can meet all of them.

Broken Cog posted:Is there anything to do with sentient prisoners? I'm not feeling particularly sadistic, so preferably something useful. Aside from placing their cages in any kind of meeting space, there isn't really anything you can do that's not "sadistic." Other things you can do with cages: drop them down designated pits (like you linked in reddit), release them in a room made of fortifications to let your marksdwarves practice hitting them with bolts, release them in your barracks for practice for your military dwarves (after taking away their weapons/armor via, iirc, dumping commands while un-dumping the cage after designating it).
