Is there an (easy, not much of a modder) way to ensure you don't get completely broken megabeasts in a short amount of time, or ever? I'm doing extremely well in masterwork, but often, at some point a building-destroying, fire-breathing Red Dragon/Titanium Colossus, whatever show up and kill everybody. Setting number of beasts and natural world savagery to low doesn't seem to prevent the chance of it happening.

Having a spell of illness that makes me stuck inside for some time, and though it terrifies me, I'm thinking of getting into it again. Any changes since last year?

Angry Diplomat posted:I started a fort and kea people immediately stole my wheelbarrow. Then the game crashed. I think I'll stick with adventure mode for now. It is comforting to hear. No matter how advanced DF becomes, the ancient tradition of getting your poo poo stolen by birds and monkeys remain.

So I was watching Vikings and suddenly thought "man, if I still played DF I would hella make a concept fortress in a frigid swamp, with creepy totems and traps everywhere and human sacrifice and magic mushrooms and.. and.. then it dawned on me: Why wasn't I playing DF anymore? So back I am. Leathercauldron beckons! I haven't played for at least a year. Suddenly, you find dwarves with 'z', and trees are suddenly big and have roots and poo poo <3 Anything else I should be aware of?

It is pretty mind-blowing  So, wells: If I started somewhere with no water, save a stagnant rain-pit or two, I would have to dig deeper, more greedily, till I hit underworld lakes, right?

Trying to play Kobold Camp, with the latest MW edition - however, when I boot it up, I am unable to select kobold-civ items (such as jack rats and machetes) on emark prep. What gives?

I just had an idea for an RPG session while playing Kobold camp: Players play the part of kobolds defending a warren from heroes, using only bone shards, kobold ingenuity, leather, their own poo poo, and a psychoactive toad to defend their homes with! I can't really make out of it's an excellent or horrible idea..

Yeah, but more influenced by DF/Kobold camp. Needs lovely machetes, bone fragments and vomit-powered traps, yo.

I think my copy of DF is cursed by gypsies. Sometimes it will just freeze my entire OS, and now, upon world generation, it just rejects every single region it makes, even though I'm using single worldgen - I stopped counting at 100 rejected regions, and it's never done anything like that before

Got back into this( God help me!), and just downloaded the latest LNP as I used to, but now Dwarf Therapist seems to be broken? Labors assigned to dwarves don't stick, reverting or being randomly assigned all over my population whenever I press the load dwarves button!? Also, only two dwarves start being assigned all hauling labors, and they revert to them when I press the load dwarves button

Is DF 64 bit OS compatible? And if not, is it possible to con it into being? After I got Win10/64bit, DF crashes after embark.

Do up/down staircases no longer let liquid pass through? I just made a reservoir in which the water falls through U/D staircases, something I've done many times before, but the water doesn't pass through no matter how long I wait (and I've done this a lot of times before, admittedly in earlier editions of the game)

ElBrak posted:Decided to get back into DF for a bit but I seem to have some sort of issue where it will decide its time to hard lock my computer. Sometimes I can play for hours with no problems and sometimes it'll hard lock within 30 minutes, pretty frustrating. This has happened to me a lot, across 3 different computers, so I don't run it on my new rig. Either DF comes with it's own interesting sabotage routine that only happens at certain times, or I've got a voodoo curse..

On the subject of magma drilling, I never worked out how to create vertical magma pumping, and gently caress making dwarves path a dillion levels, dodging Elk Birds and Cave Trolls down to find their forges. I just go loving Mordor on the surrounding forests, driving a ton of burners and smelters with wood and bitumen coal to fuel my factories. Is it worth learning? I must have tried five times and given up.

One thing I've always wondered about, is there a reason some leathers cost more than others from start? If I pay 15p blind cave bear leather instead of the (presumably shittier) 5p dingo leather, will I get something that is somehow stronger, or yields better protection from blows? Anyone know the mechanics or just reason behind the cost differential?

Quick questions for someone stumped by new updates: How do I pick fruit again? I remember succeeding at some point, but I need to designate something besides having a ladder, right? What's an altar good for? Why do suddenly get dehydration warnings? And from a dwarf that has access to alcohol and water no less?

Playing latest version, and uh, are werecreatures supposed to be the new COVID-19? I had a werecivet (yeah.) attack my fortress, and after biting a bunch of animals and dwarves to death it was put down. Now I've had my second fortress dwarf erupt as were-civet! Does it transmit by bite? If so, is it 100% contagious? gently caress this, I didn't come to play werecivet fortress, Toady
