Pickled Tink posted:You tend to get this a lot of you turn the megabeast and semi-megabeast caves up dramatically in the more specific worldgen options. I had a world that went through 1050 years of history in the space of about fifteen seconds because the last bastion of civilisation got wiped out by about fifteen megabeasts and minotaurs by year 40. I thought being the last of the dwarves was pretty badass, but I've never had a world where humans, elves, goblins and dwarves were all gone. I wonder if retired forts will send liaisons and caravans if they're designated as the mountainhomes, and have a king/queen. Will the caravan only contain stuff available in that fort or will it just spawn what caravans usually come with? Will a retired fort eventually send it's whole population to your active fort or will it keep enough dwarves around to have babies and repopulate the world? I want The Age of the Dwarf to happen.

I had a siege of bandits come to my fort a while ago that included 2 dwarves and now their ghosts are haunting the dwarves that killed them. They're not even doing anything bad. Just chasing them up and down the hallways at super speed while my dwarves shoot their crossbows at them to absolutely no effect. They're chasing my dwarves around so much that nobody can get any flipping work done or engrave some memorial slabs.

During a werebeast attack, I followed a tutorial to create an indoors-only burrow and set a civilian alert to that using the military interface. It worked perfectly but now that the threat is gone, I can't seem to make the alert go away. I changed the civ alert level back to inactive but they still won't go outside. Any ideas?

so I edited in Giant Sperm Whale Men and made them playable which as been going well so far except that to make them actually playable I had to take AQUATIC off of Sperm Whales so that I wouldn't drown 5 seconds after starting out. I don't know if this means that there are sperm whales just lying around on land or if instead the oceans are full of sperm whales who drowned.

That would be so neat if true- the player can personally reboot a dead civ as they please, jump starting it through the creation of a primary mountainhome and then having it dynamically grow and spread in the subsequent decades. Although that may run in to the bug where the very first invaders to approach a retired fort (or any other civ entity) automatically win.

is there a trick to finding the correct entrance to a vault or hell through caves in adventure mode? between the game slowing down to less than 1FPS and mapping in adv. mode being complete bullshit, I've spent way too much time just loving lost

Anyone have a good Masterwork LP link they'd like to share? I've been playing vanilla DF for a very very long time, but I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the new stuff in Masterwork and there's no good wiki or other info source besides the manual. The manual is okay, but any specific information just links to text files. There's one guy with facecam and a horrible voice on youtube, any other suggestions?

Same. A text LP would probably be best, even. Also, still haven't picked up DF2014 yet. Can someone explain more about the vaults and divine metals? Where can I find the former? What's in it? What's with the latter? I don't really have the time or will to invest in running a fort right now, but dicking around with that poo poo in adventure mode might be fun, if they are things i can screw with there.

I retired a few forts after a year each in a world. My 2nd fort was visited by someone from my first as a liaison. My 3rd got a migrant wave that was half dwarfs from the 2nd one.

Nah, not the aggression bits anyway.

The last commit to 40.01.lst was made 3 days ago.  It's a big undertaking for Quietust and Expwnent (angavrilov) alone, but still.

So far the only way I've found to locate vaults is by luck. Generate a world with a decent length, and then look in Legends for the vault sites. If you're lucky, you'll see a bunch of "items stolen" events. From there, look at the site they were absconded to, and see some other sites that they've stolen from. With luck, you'll be able to narrow it down to at least a region or two. After that try to ask around in game. I tried this but didn't have much luck because apparently my entire world was devoid of life -- I went to every hamlet and hillock on that half of the map without seeing another living being, then my game crashed.

Erush Erithnisgak was a hero in my fortress. As the foremost axedwarf in my civilization he was responsible for training most of the military. He was a hero because he was the only member of his squad to report to his station promptly enough to intercept a force of goblin invaders before they reached the woodcutters and fisherdwarfs outside. He killed an impressive number of the goblins before being surrounded and knocked unconscious. Before he could be finished off, the rest of his squad finally arrived to kill the remaining invaders. Alas, Erush had taken some pretty serious wounds. He had multiple broken bones, organ damage, and whole slew of red body parts. He was carried to what was a rather sorry excuse for a fortress hospital, tended by inadequate medical personnel with very rusty skills. I fully expected him to die, because I am not very good with hospitals and I have never seen a dwarf recover after being that badly injured. He languished there for about a year until I returned to the hospital and saw all the beds empty. Assuming the worst, I checked to see that he had been given a proper burial. Not finding any grave at all, I instead found him in the barracks training, having made an almost complete recovery. Besides his scars, the only remaining injury was a yellow foot. This never happens to my dwarves, so I was amazed. I renamed him 'Lucky' Erthnisgak there and then, thinking that here must be the luckiest dwarf to ever have lived. Having given him his nickname, I watched 'Lucky' with great pride as he sparred in the barracks. A legendary axedwarf. I then went to designate him a magnificent tomb in honour of his luck. 15 seconds later he was instantly killed in a freak accident involving a standard quality wooden training spear to the foot. RIP Lucky.

Ability to heal is actually dictated by a stat, I think, as is resistance to disease and such. Maybe he just had really good stats?

Okay they managed to destroy at least one elf but now someone is wounded, sucks to be them i guess. Meanwhile all the stray animals are starving for some reason, the million children probably ate all the food or something. Are the animals being fed by trainers or owners? Do they feed themselves? It's a bit unclear (lmao)

Grazers need to be assigned to a pasture zone (i) where they can chow down on grass. If they don't get any, they'll starve and die and be useless because you can only slaughter fortress-owned stray animals while they're still alive and nobody in the world knows how winter feed works yet.
