My civ managed to domesticate gremlins and a stray one came in with a migrant wave. It is now using up all my ammo by attempting to hunt Giant Thrips. Do I have to pasture it or something to get it to stop hunting?

Man, DF is being REALLY nice to me this game. A migrant wave just waltzed in with a tame Giant Cave Spider in tow. Time to set up a silk farm.

I had a siege recently and did pretty well although a poo poo-ton of dwarves got injured. Too bad nobody seems to care and would rather pick up goblin clothes than recover wounded dwarves. They get around to it eventually but to speed things up, I thought I might cause a few cave-ins to knock them out. I make a minor 1-square cave-in but THIS time, it goes horribly wrong and the miner AND the injured dwarf AND her baby all end up with broken spines. WHOOPS.

I have two cats in a fortress of around 190. Both are males and only one is owned.

I imagined beak dogs to be like doggy griffons without wings. I didn't expect... that. Did the goblins come up with that name? If so, they are the worst namers ever.

DEVLOG, GOToady One posted:Truck truck truck. Having some exposition issues... got back from an assignment to find my leader had been beheaded, only I wasn't able to figure that out by talking to people (had to go to legends afterward). Was surprised to find kobolds occupying a set of dwarven hillocks... thought it was a bug, but it was actually a legit bandit takeover from 20 years prior that nobody told me about. Walked into another hill dwarf site and everybody was running out of the civic mound yelling about an insurrection. I walked in there and the mayor was by himself. I thought I'd help them out, so I stabbed him in the head. One of the fleeing dwarves turned around and beat me to death. That'll teach me to meddle in internal affairs. In another game, I walked out into a market and all the humans and goblins there were in a giant brawl. I think that flare-up was caused by something in their cultural pasts but I didn't figure it out. Sometimes you just want to grab somebody and scream "what's going on?!" but you can only ask about certain things... a list which needs to be expanded even as they continue to volunteer more information.

So, the last update had tigermen as pets no longer being a thing, right? What do I do if I want them to be pets again? Can I just restore the [PET] tag and have everything be as it was before?

I'm playing as a bard/poet/dancer elf running around wherever and I find that I can do a great performance... provided I can actually finish it. As of now, most of them just stop because one of the losers that come in to pretend to be an instrument leaves. Does setting up a troupe actually fix this problem?

I can't for the life of me get a drink in Adventure Mode. Sure, I can drink water or blood or what have you, but I can't order an actual drink at the tavern. They just keep blabbing about rooms.

reading posted:I also cannot get any dances to occur. I have a big tavern space, a bag and cabinet that NEVER get stocked with my drat instruments, a tavern keeper, and alchohol stockpile in the tavern....what do I have to do? There are plenty of visiting performers and bards with their own instruments. I think that dances break up because one of the participants has decided to do something else so instead of them leaving and the dance continuing on without them, the whole thing breaks up.

A dwarf caravan came and got spooked by an animal when they were packing up and just kind of stopped. They've been here for a few seasons so I was expecting they were going to go nuts at some point but instead... they turned into barons?

I just realized I don't have sand on my embark. I need the sand to make the glass corkscrews that gets put in the screw pumps that pumps the magma so I can finally forge stuff without using up all my wood. Now I have to make the corkscrews out of either nethercap wood(which is guarded by serpent men) or out of metal which will use up twice as much charcoal as the glass would've. I could potentially solve that by making the forge way way down at the bottom where the magma is but that is incredibly inefficient considering my dwarves live up top. Can't be worse than using up all my possible wood just to make some goddamned corkscrews.

TheCIASentMe posted:Nah dude. Serpent men may not even be hostile to your dwarves. I bet if you move a squad near them they'll flee rather than fight. They are listed in the unit screen as Hostile though you are right that they are likely to flee. I'm just not at the point where dwarves are disposable yet though I'm rapidly getting there thanks to Migrant Waves sending me Soapers. I could try to dig out to them and plink them to death through fortifications. I kind of forgot that was even an option. Speaking of death, I've only had one so far. A dwarf just up and dying in the dining room in front of everybody. No injuries, no vampires. Just dead. It's really a shame that the system doesn't really allow you to investigate these things thoroughly after death.

I wish these fuckers would actually use the instruments that I've provided them with instead of just reciting the same poetry at each other. Another thing that has been bothering me is some dwarves that are whining about being away from friends and family HAVE NO FRIENDS OR FAMILY. You can't exactly be missing Mom if you never had one.

Anybody elses dwarves not breeding? Not that I particularly WANT children but I've got 101 dwarves and only 2 are children which came with a migration wave. There are a few married couples that also came with a wave and they aren't reproducing. No dwarves have gotten married in fort either.

scamtank posted:Oh yeah it does. Considering how "This is my fight too. Begone fear!" is basically the dwarven battlecry these days, instead of a wild panic you'll more often see cave crocodiles getting torn apart by 4-6 wildly swinging picks I kind of miss the time when civilians would just run away instead of chasing down a Giant Lion and punching it to death.
