I don't really understand the issue? If you want two saves in the same world, you can just copy the save and rename the folder to something else and keep both? If you want to start a new fort, just save manually and start a new fort?

I definitely have the opposite issue, having way too many worlds and saves. No renaming or moving folders required, all done ingame. That's not just me mistaking a DFHack or mod feature for core functionality, is it? EDIT: it is just me doing just that. Griddle of Love fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Dec 28, 2023 |

Had a fort go totally berzerko on me and half of everyone killed drat near the other half. I kept playing for awhile after that and recovered. So i decided to retire the fort after it started dragging. I checked out legends and discovered some rear end in a top hat necromancers have been setting up a bunch of agents in my previous fort so now im like thinking how the hell do i kill these dudes? I found the tower they're in, can I just arm up some dwarves and send them in? Seems like a bad idea, just curious if others have been successful attacking necro towers.

I believe population on the world map when you're selecting it does not reflect how many zombies and other mindless undead they have floating around. So if you think it'll be fine there's just three guys, wrong, there's three necromancers and seven hundred zombies. You need a better trained, better equipped, and much larger force than you'd think to assault a necromancer lair.

Raids are kind of a crapshoot. A lot of the time, you can throw a bunch of unskilled peasants with copper maces at a raid target and not only will they survive, but they'll also come out as supreme badasses because they power leveled on a bunch of zombies or whatever. And sometimes you'll send in four full squads of legendary+5 masterwork steel-clad stormtroopers and they'll all get beaten up by a single donkeydevil in an otherwise uninhabited hovel. I'd say you'll win 99% of your fights if your troops are in steel, but don't let that stop you from experimenting if you don't have your industries up yet. just be wary about looting necro towers, lest they bring home Fun for the whole fortress.

It is! You'll have to figure out where they were sent to, tho, and that gets trickier the longer it takes. I think it's possible to get "rumors" or whatever, but honestly I just attack everyone until I find dwarves who have been taken prisoner and repatriate them.

Shield and Shield skill is the biggest savior of a dwarf. Make and equip woodennshields and have your militia in Ill getup and training 24/7. A spearmaster decked head to toe to iron vs spearmaster decked head to toe in steel both cleave straight through basic nondemon nonwebbing enemies. On the other hand urist the draftee on their day 1 will die on both sets.

It's hard to say what would help your dwarves without knowing what's killing your dwarves, though. They may be dying from inexperience, overencumbrance, ineffective weapons or so many other reasons that it's hard to promise that steel will fix whatever issue you are experiencing, but it sure won't hurt.

This looks like the perfect place to stop and build a fortress. Perhaps we should continue across the river that will finish melting in 2 days? Nah I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to haul everything out of the cart.

Is there a limit to the number of animals that can be spawned? I embarked on a coastal joyous wilds hoping to see some mermaids or unicorns but after the first year it's been nothing but fish, who are reproducing so much that (I assume) they're crowding out every other slot I'm not above using dfhack to exterminate them if that'll fix the problem

if they've been in the hospital a bit they might survive, if a dwarf doesnt bleed to death they can survive and recover from a lot of gnarly rot - but the worst forgotten beast syndromes will cause them to bleed to death very quickly. The good news is this leaves an intact corpse, so if you have a necromancer you can set up a resurrection chamber and have a 50% chance of getting your dwarf back. And I think undead will just vibe through most (all?) syndromes that would be fatal to a living dwarf

The doctors would remove the rotten flesh and the dwarf goes back to work. Then the gangrene comes back and the doctor removes it again. Repeat. The afficted dwarfs never got much work done, but the doctors leveled up like crazy.

hbag posted:unsure how id prevent a human from doing metalworking In addition to white listing at the workshops and forges, you can use the job menu to limit the specific sub specialisations (metal-, armour-, weapon-smithing), which is less of a hassle when using work orders via the job manager with multi function shops like the forges.

Found some good posts: https://old.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/6is0nx/science_on_wildlife_spawning/ leading to http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=75780.0 So apparently there is a per-species pop-cap of 50, and if you have animals hanging about on the map, the game won't spawn you anything new. I'd try exterminating with dfhack and seeing if you get new stuff coming in. One interesting thing from that Bay12 thread is the population setting, how many of a thing can spawn at once, being per biome. So if you embark on two different good biomes, you could in theory get twice the spawns of the thing you want. Also: Did you know, if you press ctrl+enter, it just sends the post! I just found that out. Nettle Soup fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Jan 2, 2024 |

Yeah I didn't post but exterminating the fish got animals to spawn in again. Never did get any good-aligned creatures before retiring the fort though. Or maybe they did and I just didn't notice before they wandered off again. I don't think dfhack has an "alert me when a new animal spawbs" tool but if it does I'd use it
