Internet Kraken posted:Okay yeah if there's a path into your fort and invaders aren't gunning for it something has definitely gone horribly wrong with the pathing. You guys want to solve everything with magma. I had an idea for a broiler room. Floor made of steel grates, two reservoirs of magma and water directly beneath separated by a magma-safe floodgate. When the invaders step on the pressure plate, the doors seal and the floodgate opens.

Lareine posted: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 wish that was a DFhack option. Knock fools out so that they can be properly hauled to a bed. Speaking of medical quirks, since when has "Murky Water" been a thing? I thought getting water from a well automatically purified it even if the source was a muddy pool. Apparently it has to be either running water or from a pool two-tiles deep, or you get this nasty crap that gives dwarves bad thoughts and increases the chances of infection if you use it to clean someone.

Nietzschean posted:Do it anyway. So what if the individual traps do insignificant damage? Just make more of them! Sure, you might want a few real traps thrown in to ensure they don't actually live through your trap tunnel, or a military squad to kill them if they do, but "not enough damage" is a problem that will resolve itself if you just keep adding the bones of every slain enemy to the arsenal. Having a lot of bones lying around is something you want to avoid anyway in Masterwork. loving Necromorphs. Doubly annoying because I didn't care for Dead Space, so having that dumb poo poo shoehorned in added insult to injury. Triply annoying because the way you're "supposed" to solve the problem, Sacrificing a dwarf to Armok along with the Marker, didn't actually work for me due to a bug. So I had to sit there at 1 FPS while 300 of the little bastards came scuttling out of my bonehorde into the waiting arms of my military. Henceforth, all corpses get a magma bath.

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.

DrMelon posted:The succession is avenging the untimely death of the previous player and/or taking over worldgen sites to make a warlord bandit civilisation composed entirely of adventurers. Then you could upset the civ in fortress mode and try to survive the pummeling of adventurers. Have people gen adventurers and have them travel to a remote site, without using fast travel, and document the journey. First seven adventurers who make it there get to be the first seven dwarves/overseers of the first DF2014 succession LP. So sort of like the Amazing Race, only with dwarves.

Rather than having three masons, it's better to have one Mason's workshop that only your best mason can use. This is solely to make quality furniture on demand. Then you have 5-10 Mason's workshops that your best guy isn't allowed to touch, all set to produce rock blocks on repeat. Any dwarf without a useful profession is sent to the sweatshop. It gets rid off all the loose rock lying around, produces tons of blocks for constructions and megaprojects, helps boost the workers' attributes, and makes it more likely your next artifact will be a useful piece of furniture instead of a wooden scepter.

Prop Wash posted:The other advantage of masterwork iron ammo over weapons is that weapons can't be encrusted with gems, but ammo can! Wha...? I didn't know that. So you can't put a gemstone in the pommel of your masterwork longsword, but you can bake that poo poo into arrows that will inevitably be wasted plinking at some Kestrel Man? I can just see it now. "A thief! Protect the horde from skulking filth! Shoot diamonds and rubies at him until he goes away!"

The only part of Dwarf Fortress that feels impossibly obtuse at the moment is the military system. Getting guys equipped, trained, and into a fight is way too difficult, with dozens of dumb little bugs and idiosyncrasies that exist solely to trip you up. It used to be so easy too. What the hell happened. Minecarts are similarly obtuse but they're a purely optional thing, I've never had a fort that needed minecarts since I've usually got 100 losers at any time whose only means of self-fulfillment is to haul blocks.

Alehkhs posted:I do, but I was just about to try and rig up a pumpstack over 100 z-levels high for magma, despite the fact that I haven't even been getting attacked in any fashion that would require better armor. So... I really hate pump stacks. Just let me build one (1) pump and have the power requirements increase the further down the pipe goes, that way I don't have to rip the loving thing up because I accidentally put one of the pumps backwards or whatever. I built one massive 100-level pumpstack to prove I could do it, and now every game since then I just spawn my own magma pool because gently caress doing that twice.

Moridin920 posted:My main hallways are usually 3 tiles wide so what I do is smooth it and just engrave the center tile or the two side tiles and it looks pretty. I agree just engraving everything looks cluttered. You can hide engravings though. They still look different from unengraved floors but in a good, stylized way. Engrave Everything™

Angry Diplomat posted:Omi is a hand-to-hand combat style founded by Ari Bellowcrescent in the Belts of Rain. It mainly focuses on the use of rapid palm strikes and also incorporates sweeping acrobatic kicks. It is intended for self-defense. Its traditions are somewhat spiritual in nature, but mostly grounded in practical experience. Sweet Armok, yes

Hihohe posted:Replace wrestling with martial arts and we have the best combat system ever. Combine it with the magic system for maximum results. "Through controlled breathing, this combat style inflicts extra damage upon vampires and undead." It would actually make sense that a fort in a Terrifying biome might develop specialized combat forms to fight undead, the way a fort in the middle of Goblin country might get really good at fighting Goblins. There really is something worth looking at there. Someone page Toady.

Next thing I know the main floor is soaked in blood and an elf and a goblin poet have been killed (prejudiced humans?). Four more die before my militia can get there and restore order. Maybe the humans tried to deal with the kobold, but there was some friendly fire that made everything break down?

Neurion posted:On another note, I got sick of dealing with the front porch of my fort being coated in a thick layer of vomit, so I wrote a script that resets everyone's cave adaption counter and queued it up to run once a month with dfhack's 'repeat' command. Just open up a skylight over your dining hall/tavern and then cover it back up. With glass blocks if you're feeling realistic, with dirt/stone/wood if you don't care. Once sunlight hits a square it will always be marked as "outside". No more cave adaptation.

Farming was originally a little harder to set up, you had to irrigate with mud and I don't think the UI allowed for automation. There were guides for it even. Nowadays it's basically impossible to screw up.
