Locus posted:Tell me honest: Is my human outsider screwed? Drowsy, purple "THIRSTY", no waterskin, eating snow doesn't actually quench thirst even though that is possible IRL, I can get a bucket full of ice from the bottom of a well, but I can't TAKE the ice, or the bucket, or melt it in a campfire next to me. If there's any habitation nearby, you might be able to take a bag. If you fill the bag with snow, you should be able to melt it by heating the bag (with 'I') at a campfire.

You used to be able to slake your thirst by drinking the water covering off yourself after hopping in a pond or getting rained on, but it looks like that's been nerfed.

GorfZaplen posted:I hope Toady fixes the bug where zombies will attack their necromancer masters soon. I found one in a mead hall and got him to join me, but as soon as we killed some dingoes he resurrected them all and they tore us apart. I didn't even recruit any necromancers, but after I blundered into a tower (and got murdered by zombies) I checked the Legends and a bunch of the zombies had turned on their necromancers. There must have been at least one necromancer that survived the brawl, because the legend of every dead necromancer ended with them getting revived as a zombie.

I know that I have to go into Alerts under Military to turn a squad on to Active Duty, but I'm not sure what those options do... I'm pretty sure those are for storing equipment and also don't actually do anything. They might have been related to the Arsenal Dwarf, who is not missed.

Forgotten beasts made out of random crap can sometimes be pushovers. Coral does not seem to be one of the things that makes them a pushover. I found The Mucous Shaft, a coral quadruped (whose deadly gas seems to have failed him) squatting in the ruins of my old fort (which he never even got inside, it was a Giant Cave Spider who wound up murdering everyone) and it took quite a long time of beating him in the neck with a warhammer before it shattered. From the time when it was skulking in the caves I knew that it had a pretty deadly kick, as it managed to stomp several local animals into gore with a single blow. Wasn't really expecting the adventurer to get lucky long enough to get the last blow in. Now I need to make sure to keep them alive to retire somewhere else, and carry with them the masterpieces of the old fort. e: Also found two merchants and a wagon chilling in the caves, which is weird.

Bitter Mushroom posted:Call me I can't remember if ballista bolts drop down from their initial z-level, and even if you killed a whale its corpse would be out there in the ocean. Even if you trained swimming by repeatedly dunking dwarves into 4/7 water, I don't know if they'd path out to any waterbound corpses and drag them back. What you need to do is be in a place where the ocean freezes during the winter and build some dams to create an area you can seal off while the sea creatures are in it, then pump the water out to air-drown whatever is in the trap.

How do I find the seed that the world was originally generated from? If you exported the world generation info after generating the world, ignore this step. Otherwise go to legends mode (you might need to copy your save and abandon any in-progress game) and hit 'p' to 'export map/gen info'. Next, go to the 'regionN-world_gen_param.txt' in the df main folder and copy/paste everything to the end of 'world_gen.txt' in data/init. Then go to the advanced world gen, select the last option on the list, hit 'e' for 'Enter advanced parameters', and change 'Use History Seed' from 'Yes' to 'Random'.

So retiring and unretiring a site will leave most things in place, but it will shuffle around a few objects. Weirdly enough even built objects, because I had to restock the mayor's room with cabinets after unretiring. What also got shuffled around was the forgotten beast that was previously safely sealed in the first caverns and was now on the surface eating all the random merchants that had decided to hang around, including one of my civ's barons. It bit off on of my guy's arms, but otherwise didn't damage anything important and as soon as they drag its corpse to the pile we'll be eating giant turquoise beetle steaks for years. As with every important thing my military kills, it gets an engraved slab stuck in the barracks.

Possibly A Ghost posted:Hey, does a vampire seeing the corpses of the people he's drained count towards the "death doesn't phase him" (or w/e) trait? If not do they just piss their pants with fear every time they kill somebody, or ignore the body completely, or...? The vampire example raws don't give the [NOFEAR] token so perhaps vampires will freak out after their first couple kills. They'd presumably harden up after a couple corpses. I don't know if they'd get any discipline from the dozens or hundreds they've probably drank in world gen before immigrating.

Did it happen on or near a ramp? For some reason ramps seem to generate weird accidents like people getting smashed by hauled furniture. I've seen it in adventure mode when a bunch of goblin civilians try to run down a ramp away from me. Some of them wind up mysteriously airborne.

Dashticle posted:Are the civilisations you can see in the Civs screen in Fortress mode literally the only civilisations in the entire world/that can reach you? Year 4 and I only had a single gobbo siege show up first year (they left after one lost his head on a weapon trap outside). No gobbo thieves either. There are only the dwarves, one human and one elf civ showing on my screen. I'm just worried about building a big elaborate goblin disposal chamber that will go unused forever. Things only show up on the Civ screen after you've encountered them. If goblins came and there's no goblin civ in the list, I think they were bandits.
