One of my dwarves is married at 12 years old, and has a 4 year old daughter, with 4 children total. I really, really hope this is a bug due to me using a short world history, or possibly something wrong with masterwork.

So I just found out that masterwork now gives ores lovely smelting efficiency unless you refine them first. Guess who outfitted 3 full military squads with full steel plate before finding this out?

It seems like the next masterwork race plugin will be a merchantile human race with cannons and an emphasis on building above ground and making shittons of money. I'm more pumped to try that out than the actual DF release that's around the corner.

Vengarr posted:You can neuter pets and animals in Masterwork. It's so obviously the practical solution to cats that I don't know why Toady hasn't implemented it; it's not like animal trainers have much to do at the moment. I did not know this, how the hell do you do that?

Flesh Forge posted:This was a pretty wide variety of animals and invaders, human, dwarven, elven and drow. I don't think ANY creatures died from falling 25z, and I dropped something like a hundred. Some were injured with broken bones and poo poo, ~40% were not injured at all. Build upright spears in a pit at the bottom and wall it off so that your idiot dwarves don't hurt themselves trying to loot?

Damaging Traps never seem to work very well at all for me in Masterwork. My best defense has been to make the entrance to my fort be the barracks for my primary military group. It doesn't stop random woodcutters from getting shanked, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.

Is there a way to mod/dfhack water wheels to work with magma? Because I've got a proof of concept megaproject weapon that I just finished, and I want to upgrade from water to magma.

I'd turn off slagworks and most of the harder ______ options. Once you figure out how to use the advanced buildings for whatever race, then it's probably ok to go ahead and turn on more difficulty settings.

Does that make the research buildings available from the start, or does it just remove them?

Vampires traditionally love counting things, having big fancy titles, and being blood sucking parasites. Bureaucracy is perfect for them!

My dwarves apparently love a chanting performance that involves speaking gibberish while continuously slowing down the tempo. While they are doing this a shrill flute is being played at a steady pace. I have a feeling that it sounds horrifying.

Leal posted:Has Meph stopped jerking off to Succubi and finally put necromancers in Masterwork? Last I heard Meph was basically just doing tileset work at this point. It's a shame, because Masterwork is so good, and the knockoff mod that was started over people being butthurt at Meph seems to have died in the crib (turns out large mods are hard).

The Cheshire Cat posted:Honestly an impressive thing about DF is how despite all the knockoffs (many of which have a lot of quality of life improvements), it's still remained popular and unique. It's the sort of thing where like yeah, you can rip off the concept, but you can't rip off the decade of work he's already put into the game, or his willingness to go down a weird rabbit hole purely because it interests him. One thing I really like about DF is if there's something you want to do in a fortress, you can jump into doing it very quickly. No research tree or money grind to build most buildings, nearly everything can be made out of unworked rock. Some things are a bit more complex to get going, but you have no arbitrary roadblocks to building whatever you want from the word go.

Pharnakes posted:Interesting to see that fortress mode is actually getting prioritised over adventures, when it's always felt like toady did the opposite. In a way though, I feel like that gave a lot of the fortress mode it's flavor. One of the things missing from every competitor is the sheer detail that goes into drat near everything from dwarves to engraving. Even if most of it really doesn't matter that much, looking at a dwarf and seeing family connections and an actual personality listed out beats generic colonist #2344

My favorite df story is the Mermaid death camp bone farm that Toady took one look at, said "gently caress this" and immediately set the trade value of sentient beings body parts to the ground. My favorite fortress I ever did was a massive fortress built into the side of a perfectly flat cliff on a map with a hosed up waterfall. I was using Masterwork DF's Orcs, and built a hellfort that could basically take on the world. 4 Z layers of fortifications covered by 8 archer squads that looked over a ramped approach I carved into my bases's entrance. A bunch of melee squads with legendary skills with heavy layered armor and beastly weapons who lived and trained in my base's entrance that happily took out anything that survived the arrow barrage. Drawbridges? Traps? Those are for children (though I did use some cage traps eventually to start an invader zoo). That base could handle drat near anything with zero input from me once I set civillians to not go outside and got the training scheduling down. Eventually it ran into a persistent crash and died.

thunderspanks posted:prepared meals trade value and underground crop yields outside of caverns (1/4th of previous amount) are the two biggest nerfs I've heard spoken of. Of course now that I'm looking I can't for the life of me find a source for this So no more assigning one farmer to a plump helmet patch and having enough food for an entire small fortress? Dang.

Since someone mentioned farming nerfs earlier upthread, is there a list of changes to the gameplay/balance going into the steam game?

Played a little bit over my lunch break, currently frustrated that a decade+ of muscle memory doesn't work anymore. I also don't remember Aquifers being this omnipresent.

New labor is confusing me, it looks like randoms will use workbenches unless I assign specific dwarves to them. Can I not just set a "you must be at least competent to use this" setting on a workstation?
