I understand the ascii purists, but most people play with tiles at this point. If the OP is intended to be a recruiting tool to advertise the game, how about mixing in some actual graphics? I am a big dwarf fortress fan but lets be real, most people don't like ascii, it is a turn off.

I have a rough idea for a challenge but I need to flesh out the actual rules and I would like your input. The idea, essentially, is that the game is Paying the Iron Price. No harvesting fresh materials of any sort. Everything comes from slain creatures. Merchants can be traded with. I feel like I could flesh this out a bit more.

Is there any mod, trick, special technique or pretty much anything to make building surface forts not such a huge pain in the rear end? I want to try another one but building via walls is such a giant pain in the rear end.

Has there been any word on when Masterwork will update?

Is anyone else sort of dissapointed by Human Mode in Masterwork? There are about a million workshops which seem to make stuff I don't need, want, can be made better in traditional ways OR are ridiculously over powered and unbalancing. The only really interesting change is how they are basically forced to do open pit mining. They just don't feel different enough to be fun. Is anyone else disappointed by them?

I just turn off most of the new buildings and go to town. Masterwork comes with a manual which has good documentation of the rest.

I have not played DF in a while. I downloaded the latest version of Masterwork and don't see any options in there related to all of the extra buildings and professions they added. Did they take them out, or am I missing something? I usually turn most of them off. All of the options related to extra "types" of minerals, plants, animals etc are also all gone? Options related to how hard various industries are, are also gone? I liked increasing the difficulty of farming for example. Diogines fucked around with this message at 22:58 on May 31, 2015 |

I think I downloaded an old version. Got the latest version, I recognize the interface now.

So Masterwork is two versions and like six months behind now. Is it ever going to be updated?

I know that I like Masterwork and how to use it but don't follow the development of it at all. So is development over? Did the people involve quit? Its been an uh, really long time since the last update? It seemed like older versions came out much more rapidly? Is Masterwork dead? If not, any estimate on a new version?

I've not played in a while and may start again. What is everyone's favorite graphics pack?

I said graphics pack, not a font. I mean if people want to pretend that an O with two dots on top is an ox or an ostrich that is cool, but lots of good tile-sets exist.

See, you could have used ASCII art to convey the emotion contained within that smiley, but you used an actual image instead. Why? Images are easier than ASCII to understand quickly and convey more information.

There have been countless amazing mods for this game and utility programs. When, when, will someone make some sort of UI or tool to make controlling the military not poo poo?

necrotic posted:Yes, its similar to therapist in that you see everyone at once and can toggle through labor 'groups' to assign to Everyone, Specific Dwarves, or Disable Entirely. I wonder if the Dwarf Therapist maker will ever make another version? It gives you lots of other useful information, I'd still play with it if I could.

I have a considerable number of hours under my belt playing Dwarf Fortress. On the steam version is it worth doing the tutorial to get a handle on the new user interface, or not worth it?

I am so used to playing with the various tools... Is there any way in the Steam version to increase FPS/Speed? To be very clear I am not talking about making the game operate more efficiently when you have 10,000 cats, I mean, to speed it up when you have the processing power available to do so.

The in game labor system is certainly... better now, but without the ability to prioritize one labor over another for the same dwarf I still find it kind of lacking. Has there been any statement or information from whoever works on Dwarf Therapist if they plan to update it for the steam version / a guess at a time frame?

Do farms need to be in actual caves or just deep and if so, how deep?
