Has there been any sort of date set for the next major content patch? I love the game but I feel I've done pretty much all there is to do here at the moment.

Generation Internet posted:Missed this in the log, it's the little things like this which really come together to make that great, unique 'Dwarf Fortess' experience. Imagine a colony of psychopathic cannibals during a 6 month night. loving vampires, man. I hope he adds some nocturnal animals or events to go with this. As it stands the only difference between night and day seems to be a change in temperature and a minor mood hit. (As well as most colonists choosing to sleep at night, but that wouldn't matter if there was permanent night. Actually that would be a neat new trait: "Nocturnal - Colonist prefers to sleep during the day, and work during the night. Gets +5 mood instead of -5 from "in Darkness", and has reversed sleep cycle."

Bondematt posted:So is the best defense still just a couple of rooms with a single turret in the center for it's blast damage when it blows up? I always found tribals and pirates to be very easy compared to the later mechanoid waves. Especially the caterpillars that can take a doomsday rocket to the face and not even blink.

Pound_Coin posted:I haven't played in a while/few versions, is the long corridor still the best defence? Every time I try doing this, there's always some fuckers with m24's that end up taking potshots at the turrets. The Scyther's charge lance also outranges them.

Just started playing this again after some months hiatus. There are two Grizzly Bears hanging around my house, should I be worried? They don't seem hostile so far.

I'm running the Steam version, and there is definitely a Joy bar. People also use the joy stations regularly. Try validating files, maybe?

Is there any benefit to having chickens? I got two x10 waves of them early on, but I'm considering butchering them all, as they eat way more than they give.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Get them just a little bit of hay. That'll keep them going for a nice lengthy period of time. They provide eggs and more chickens, so they are a good source of meat and eggs while also being a nice trade commodity by themselves. Ah, think I'll just butcher all the chicks until I get some hay production up and running then. I used the rich explorer start, so I'm a bit short on manpower at the moment.

Some 55 year old dude that randomly joined my colony just keeled over from a heart attack a couple of days after arriving, my doctor couldn't save him in time. Is that normal?

Any tips for dealing with an early Heat Wave event with the Tribal start? Edit: It's 50C everywhere, and this heat wave shows no signs of stopping after 3 days. RIP this colony I guess Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Yeah, probably, but it was early enough that I was still setting up separate housing, so I didn't really have time to make something that elaborate. Nice to know for the future, though!

Any way to force feed a colonist having a mental breakdown (daze)? The guy with gutworms decided to wander off, and now he's starving to death just walking around, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot I can do about it.

I keep getting heat waves within the first 10-15 days when I try to start as a tribe, and at that point there's gently caress-all you can do about it. Frustrating

Yeah, as the stranded colonists or the explorer, a Freezer is the first priority, but you don't really get that luxury as tribals. RIP Sun Village, you met an ironic end. Edit: Well, perhaps not entirely. My pyromaniac, Heat loving, Sanguine chef seems to be having the time of her life. Maybe I should just try to see how long I can survive with only her.

Phew, I'm glad I culled that 16 size Muffalo herd before that random psychic wave drove them all mad. Couple of questions: Do events scale up as fast for tribes as it does for the crash survivors/explorer? Also, is it possible to upgrade from tribal tech?

Got a message about a Pop Idol on the run from a nearby group of pirates, so I decided to let her in. Turns out she was 80 years old, frail and with a bad back, and the pirates caught up to her long before I could intervene. Sorry lady, I tried.

I released a prisoner and after leaving base he got mauled and eaten by an angry bear, and all my colonists got a negative 7 mood for a week because of it. Guys, he was out of the base, it wasn't really our fault.

Azhais posted:Yes. Anywhere under a mountain, flooring of any variety doesn't matter Thanks. Guess I should dig out some spare tunnels in the back of the base to lower the chance of getting one in the middle of my dining room. Also, my last infestation had two hives spawn at the same time, is that random?

Toxic Fallout and a Psychic Drone ship part within 3 hours of each other. Sure, why not. Edit: is there any way to designate where Caravans and traders from other towns can set up? I don't really endorse them hanging out right in-between my turrets and the funnel I've set up for raids. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Jul 24, 2016 |

How the hell do I get these moronic traders to not stand in the middle of the drat firing line for my turrets? I have a huge open space further into my base that would be a hundred times better for them to hang around in.

Just harvest every bush in the vicinity of the starting location and you should have enough food to last a while. Disclaimer, I haven't tried tribals on desert or Tundra/Ice Sheet biomes, so I don't know how they work there.

What do people here usually set their freezer to? I like to leave it on -5 to have some leeway in case it suddenly sees a lot of traffic.

Ah, I used to have it at around -10 until I started building the cooking/butchering stations inside the freezer, and now I keep it fairly close to 0 so the people working there don't get annoyed/frostbitten. For the problem with people eating off the freezer floor. Colonists will only eat at a table if it's close enough to where they pick up their food, so build the dining room relatively close to the freezer. I usually have it in the next room over.

I'm just hoping he'll focus on adding more scenario's, "goals" and events/animals to spice thing up abit once he's satisfied with the base game.
