Adventure mode is totally underappreciated. It has the best combat of any roguelike I've played, and I'm surprised it doesn't get more attention.

I came upon an encampment of sleeping goblins. Easily, I went from each to each, taking their heads as trophies. I bashed in the throat of their leader and watched him suffocate. When one awoke he ran screaming and calling for help from his comrades, helpless to stop me as I killed the rest. Finally, as I slowly approached him he tried to climb a tree. I slashed him open from behind and pulled him down by yanking on his intestines.

Release owns.

Has anyone tried cutting down a tree in front of an elf? I wonder if they would break down into tears.

Has anyone tried to grow some Cannabis Sativa? Can you make food out of it?

Ive never played before, can I just install and start playing Adventure mode? Or should I watch a thousand youtube videos first?

Well, presumably, the world activation means that invaders will actually draw from members of neighboring civs.

So if the goblins near you have a bunch of integrated dwarves, you will probably get dwarves coming on goblin raids.

Does that mean you can demoralize invaders by routing them through the bonehoard? Because hell yes.

I'm trying to play Masterwork, but whenever I try to gen a world it crashes to desktop. Is there a way to fix this?

I founded a fort for a dwarf civ that lost its last site 140 years before.

Are all the migrants I'm getting spawning from the ether or are they random dwarves living in human\elf\gobbo kingdoms coming to live in a dwarf society?

What sort of build do you guys usually use for your starting caravan? I like to start like so:

1) Miner 1: 5 points Miner, 4 points Engraver, 1 point Bookkeeper
2) Miner 2: 5 points Miner, 3 points Gem Cutter, 2 points Gem Setter
3) Farmer: 5 points Grower, 3 points Cook, 2 points Brewer
4) Woodcutter: 5 points Wood Cutter, 4 points Carpenter, 1 point Woodworker
5) Mason: 5 points Mason, 2 points Building Designer, 3 points Stone Crafter
6) Metalsmith: 3 Metalsmith, 3 Weaponsmith, 3 Armorsmith, 1 Furnace Operator
7) Trader/Doctor: 2 Persuader, 2 Negotiator, 4 Appraiser, 1 Wound Dresser, 1 Diagnostician

I usually keep the starting inventory, except I drop my bucket, crutch, rope, axe, and wheelbarrow count down to 1. Additionally, I like to buy 1 cat to keep vermin out and 2 dogs to start breeding, and eventually train war dogs.

Anything you guys like to do differently?

Is there a quick way to locate an underground water source or do i just need to dig all over the map at random?

You know the minute Toady adds capturing people and healing skills in adventure mode, people will just go to the nearest kobolds camp, capture everyone and spend their time stabbing then healing them endlessly just for skill.

The moment Toady adds in any kind of mechanic where you can have ownership over other sentient creatures the DF mod forums are gonna get real ugly real fast.

Are magma pipes still a thing? It would be nice to get a useful source of magma without having to embark on a volcano.

Do i just need to have these in my fort somewhere or do i have to bring the materials to the craftshop somehow?

Transforming your military from the greenest of green baby retard recruits to a legitimate fighting force is hilarious now. Watching my lone idiot crossbowdwarf, likely the first dwarf in the world to ever contemplate killing, become instantly terror-stricken the moment he fires one wooden bolt into a family of thrips men (who themselves instantly begin crying and vomiting and bemoaning the fragility of life as the bolt hurtles toward them) is goddamn hysterical.

He's chasing them down the hillside now and they're retching and puking as he bashes their heads in with his wooden crossbow and he's crying as they call for help and he is merciless and it was inevitable and it is terrifying.

To be fair, if I saw the skull of a bro randomly hanging in the air, I'd probably poo poo myself too.

I forgot that jumping and climbing were both implemented in this latest release. That is how my fortress died.

quote:

A crash that could occur when looking at the adventure mode log while traveling was handled, and another strange crash involving pressing v-p on armed dwarves in the arena was also handled (it was looking for non-present fort info). Animal people and giant animals had a frequency rewrite (thanks to ab9rf for looking at that closely). Quietust had found a few other problems (mid-level maps could be regenerated in an inconsistent fashion causing world gen to drift from the seed, law dwarf did not complain about lack of chains/cages properly) and those are fixed now. Running some extra tests in the hopes of catching any trouble that might have slipped through the bug-fixing party, and this version'll probably see the sun outside its cave tomorrow.

Based on this it looks like sheep can't be beat. They require very little grass and supply you with milk, cheese, wool, and the usual meat/leather/bones when butchered.

No wonder my yaks are always beating the crap out of each other, I guess they're fighting over the last blades of grass in their pasture.

12x12 pasture for 1 mule? lol gently caress grazers, kill em all for meats

I decided to start a new fortress for 40.05 with a new design philosophy, since I felt like my old forts were all boring and same-y in design. I found a great place with a sedimentary flux layer, river, and sand. After embark, I spend probably 15 minutes before unpausing, planning out the fortress and putting down some preliminary designations. I also spent a significant amount of time making custom stockpiles instead of just piling everything into one big room and then putting all of my workshops directly below it. Everything's going well, and I'm pleased with my new fortress until I hit fall, and I get the message about there being no outpost liaison. Turns out the default dwarf civilization choice for that world was apparently the only dead dwarf civ in the entire world. I spent over an hour planning out and building a large, thought-out fortress for a place that will never get more than the original seven.

So I decided to embark somewhere else. One good candidate has salt water. The wiki mentions that salt water collected from a well will be drinkable and given to sick dwarves. Is this true? I could also dig out and line a cistern with constructions, then purify it with a screw pump, but if I only need to build a well over a normal cistern...

What's the secret to getting coal/lignite to generate though? The profile I've been using is all forest so I tried adding swamps but that didn't help any. I know it only generates in sedimentary rock, but how do you get it? Do you need an ocean? I found the perfect volcano river embark, but without coal, it's useless for me.
