I'm going to point you to Cacame Awemedinade Monípalóthi, the Immortal Onslaught. Cacame ascended to the rank of Elf King of the Dwarves. The story of his rise to glory has been chronicled in an epic 60+ page thread on the Bay 12 Games forum that includes original artwork, economic discussions, raw edits, world gen randomness, Chuck Norris jokes, Battletech references, and a Cacame-themed megaproject. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Cacame_Awemedinade "The Creation of Ferns" dwarven civilization and Cacame's former "Field of Kindling" elven civilization were at war for many years, with the dwarves systematically defeating the elves for decades. In 90, the dwarves conquered his home city of "Oily Typhoon" and placed a new dwarven governor in charge. Cacame was 7 at the time, and 5 years later, at the ripe old age of 12, he became a Guard. Two years later, an elven attack from the Field of Kindling's city of Fish of Magic injured him in the lower body and killed his wife Nemo Ruyavaiyici (who was then eaten by Amoya Themarifa, the elf who killed her). Maddened with grief, Cacame set off to the nearest front as soon he healed enough to fight. During his first combat he took up his fallen commander's legendary warhammer and slew many elves with it, being noted as the battle's fiercest and deadliest warrior; for his deeds, the dwarves' second-in-command acknowledged that Cacame would best put the warhammer to use and should keep it. Two years after that, in 99, the Battle of Both Kings was fought. In this battle Cacame struck down King Nithe of Field of Kindling (who was finished off by another dwarf called Sibrek Handpages, though); however the other king slain was the dwarven king himself. The dwarves decided that Cacame, by now dubbed "The Immortal Onslaught", should take over as their king. RBA-Wintrow fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Apr 14, 2017 |

Aquifers do not create water in diagonal tiles, but do create water in open tiles directly below them. Therefore, you will want to dig two z-levels below the lowest aquifer layer before continuing with your fortress. Does your room have (light) aquifer above it? Also, Sankis?

PMush Perfect: I don't see how. The water just appears on the floor below. It does not fall or "move". I'm not great at mist generators, but I think mist is only caused by moving water. Sankis: I'm not sure. I've never tried. It sounds like it should work. But the more aquifer you dig out, the more aquifer-adjacent surfaces you create for more water to appear from.' Edit, the water is appearing from the floor of the layer above the room. Not from the floor on the layer that has the room with a flooding problem.

PMush Perfect, that should work. I have never tried it, but that is indeed 1/7 water falling 1 level so it should generate mist. Reading the wiki makes it look exactly like a stack generator for mist but without the moving parts. It might also work as a shower. I think the important part is that the aquifer does not make water. Empty space makes the water but can only do so adjacent to an aquifer*. https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Mist#Stack_generator *would the lowest layer on your drawing generate water to? It is below the aquifer floor of the top layer but not adjacent. RBA-Wintrow fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Jun 17, 2020 |

DaysBefore posted:Okay weird, I'm definitely making barrels. But the options for making booze are unavailable because I lack a food storage item. But I also have a chef dwarf churning out hundreds of meals so maybe he's sucking up all the barrels. Could it be a burrow issue where the brewer can't reach any barrels? Is there a stockpile the brewer can place barrels with booze in? (It should default to clutter the workshop if not.) A 9 year old reddit comment with the same issue says: Most likely it's because only one barrel can be used at a time by a single stockpile. Only one job being generated = only one dwarf collecting food in a barrel = food production outpacing food storage. The best thing to do is to split the single stockpile into many smaller ones; that way, more than one dwarf will be hauling food at a time. Maybe a kind Goon who is not at work right now can screenshot their booze production setup?

Hawke posted:"The fortress attracted no new migrants this year" please it's been almost two years since the last wave and I'm still getting dwarf caravans. I need more meat for the meat grinder. The dwarven caravan from your home civilization influences the number of immigrants received (if the caravan leaves intact). So have them report back that they sold a bunch of worthless crap and you payed them in a small fortune worth of rock mugs. Migrants will think your fortress is doing great to be wasting valuables! So they'll come. Rock mugs are light, so the traders can carry it all with them. And they are easy to make in high quality and volume. There's no point in trying to pay in solid gold statues if the merchant can't carry it home. If your trade depot has no values for the worth of items, then ensuring that a dwarf with the Appraiser skill is assigned as the trader will cause the values to appear.

Captainicus posted:Does anyone know what might be giving me popups for 'no yarn cloth' when there's a pile of 20ish masterwork sheep cloth underneath my loom? As far as I understand it, silk clothing = cloth made from webs, cloth clothing = cloth made from plants, yarn clothing = cloth made from animal product, but my clothier doesn't seem to be able to make anything. I think we need more info than this. Is the "pile" all one stack? Could it be "in use" and so not available to other dwarves? Is it a burrow issue? Can you set up a stockpile for it and see if it gets moved? Are you sure you have yarn cloth and not thread? I'm brainstorming but all I can come up with is that 'no yarn cloth' means 'no yarn cloth I'm allowed to use'. So it's claimed by another dwarf or in an inaccessible location to the dwarf that needs it.

shame on an IGA posted:Someone posted about this a few pages ago and I'm having the same issue: a ton of cooked products and empty barrels are building up in my kitchen with an empty food stockpile right next to it. A screenshot or schematic might help. But maybe not. Is the stockpile accessible for pathing? Has anyone ever been able to use it? What happens if you make a new small stockpile? And a new kitchen? Do any dwarves have the hauling job? Are they always busy with other, equal or higher prio jobs? Like hauling stone. The likely explanation is that the job to move food is assigned to someone who is always busy. So they keep the job off the tasks list, yet never get to doing it. Blocking the barrel/stockpile/kitchen. Remember 1 stack of things can only be assigned to 1 dwarf at a time. Personal note; stop using barrels, it's a waste of metal or wood. Make rock pots instead. They're heavy, but easier to make and very, very few jobs require a barrel to work. Is the outside refuse hauling option on? Maybe the kitchen is claimed by a job to move refuse outside but that's outside the allowed burrow? Do you have "Dwarves ignore food" option set. Set it to "Dwarves gather food" by pressing o->r, so meals generate hauling jobs. A stockpile that allows containers can only "give" to a stockpile that also allows containers. If you try to link stockpiles and "give" from a container stockpile to a non-container stockpile, the food will never be moved out of the container. The wiki mentions something about some stacks not fitting in a barrel: Now go back to the kitchen and add a Prepare Lavish Meal job. Four different types of meat will be gathered and turned into a twenty serving "roast". Note that a 20 item stack‡ like that is too big to fit inside of a barrel, so it will be placed directly onto the floor. https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.31:Stonegears/Cooking Hihohe posted:Do dwarves have to be completely covered or does it inly have to be a shirt, pants, and shoes maybe? The primary reason civilians wear clothing is for modesty. Some dwarves will also need to be extravagant, so clothing with quality or decoration bonuses will satisfy that. A particular benefit of footwear is to keep your dwarves from stepping barefoot in contaminants that can be dangerous. Adult dwarves get unhappy thoughts if they are naked, or wearing tattered clothes. Babies do not wear clothes, but all adult and child dwarves will claim and wear clothing automatically, but will not automatically make any if none is available. Dwarves may incur several different clothing-related bad thoughts from: Total nudity Missing upper body covering (shirt, vest, dress, robe, cloak, or coat) Missing lower body covering (trousers or skirts) Missing footwear (shoes, sandals, or socks) Wearing tattered clothing (items with "X" or "XX" wear, but not "x" wear) Clothing thoughts are quite strong, and stack with each other. Tantrum spirals are likely unless you produce sufficient footwear, upper-, and lower-body-covering items. Thankfully, armor can also prevent most negative thoughts, and has the advantage of not being subject to wear, in addition to affording better protection. Socks are absolutely critical, especially the ones that are on fire. Dwarves are prone to charging goblins to salvage the socks from a fallen comrade. As is right and proper.

Dr. Clockwork posted:I had someone die in my tavern, mysteriously drained of blood and 38 witnesses fingered a trader as the culprit. So I interrogated and convicted and my guard captain beat his rear end and put him in the hospital. When the vampire trader recovered he was free to go? His next victim was in the temple in front of 29 witnesses. Same thing, I convict him and the guard whips his rear end and he’s just set loose. Thread moves fast! Dwarven sentencing comes in 2 forms. Prison time drinking only water is the merciful punishment. Dwarves live a long time and if your prison is fancy enough they wont be upset about a few years in prison without booze. "Admired a gold chain (around my wrists) lately". For serious offences there's hammer strikes. The Hammerer is basically an executioner. Being sentenced to a beating from a warhammer, delivered by a skilled Hammerer means getting your teeth yeeted through the back of your skull. At best the dwarf will be crippled for life. Therefore it is wise to ensure that any criminals scheduled for beating are fitted with a metal helm as quickly as possible (if you want them to live). Even without headstrikes, beatings can easily result in broken bones or organ damage, making prison sentences a less risky option. If a vampire is caught feeding on another dwarf, even if the victim survives, it is still considered a murder. The vampire will typically make a false report, to try to frame another dwarf. Witnesses will also sometimes make false reports to try and frame dwarves they have grudges against. Your vampire is a near indestructible undead monster that only looks like a dwarf. He can take a beating (especially from an unskilled hammerer that uses fists.) He laughs it off and goes to murder again, in full view of witnesses. What are you gonna do? Beat him some more?
