Because Scamtank's an rear end in a top hat that insults us every time he posts a devlog update and we've grown to assume he's a pulsating ball of impotent misanthropic rage of the kind that being the OP of the Dwarf Fortress thread inevitably creates?

scamtank posted:For any real accuracy, though, we'd have to have a lot more to distinguish biomes and growth preferences. Altitude, soil depth, loam/clay/sand tolerance, temperature range... Well, if you're going to have soil, then we need pedogenesis and monsoons and oscillations and desertification and glaciation. Preferably both the natural kind and the sudden evil-terrain-magic kind. "I can't believe we embarked in an El Nino year" should be a thing.

You can't post that in this thread, go post that in the Clockwork Horrors thread, you traitor to Dwarf Fortress. KyloWinter posted:Ugh, replacing a US-centric education with a Japan-centric education is no improvement. Learning the history of Japan is a waste of time--it's a completely unimportant island backwater until 400 years ago--kind of like Britain. Study Russia or Central America or China or India or Mesopotamia or the Mediterranean--places that have been historically significant for a couple thousand or more years. Don't replace one fetishistic, overly modern historical gaze with another just because it happens to be the place where they invented pokemon. Now you're starting to make some sense. But I don't know what that has to do with the One True Game.

Procedurally generate gaming. That's the most Dwarf Fortress thing I've ever heard of. I hope he implements RPGs and spends a year developing out the adventure mode playing of them. This is why the UI sucks, okay? And it's worth it.

A scene--a slaughter--the cause of which we will never know, ending lives who no one wrote stories of. The kind of thing only archaeologists ever get a chance to consider. No, just kidding, everyone there has a full entry in legends talking about how much they enjoyed the smallest detail of their lives right up to the point it was ended by a bone spear or troglodyte claw.

Subjunctive posted:Is Feb the worst month for donations just because it's the shortest month, or is it disproportionate to that? Looking over it, the trend isn't so strong as I thought: 2010 and 2011 are bad and 2014 bears out the same pattern, but Feb 2013 was not unusual (Feb 2012 was a release month and so doesn't matter). Feb 2008 looks like a release month also, based on the numbers for that year... 2014: December: $8181.08 November: $3400.66 October: $3260.59 September: $4573.68 August: $6551.92 July: $15273.52 June: $4938.74 May: $3705.91 April: $6428.15 March: $3606.70 February: $2803.99 January: $4040.37 2013: December: $5903.18 November: $3683.50 October: $4727.45 September: $3888.52 August: $2964.61 July: $3498.44 June: $3355.10 May: $3364.33 April: $5597.40 March: $5518.03 February: $3244.12 January: $3254.43 2012: December: $3916.84 November: $4054.83 October: $3579.58 September: $2712.83 August: $3594.48 July: $3905.02 June: $3599.86 May: $4814.94 April: $4623.70 March: $6777.02 February: $12586.51 January: $3689.27 2011: December: $5468.33 November: $3199.46 October: $2503.28 September: $2793.95 August: $4818.25 July: $6615.67 June: $2374.03 May: $3010.58 April: $3018.42 March: $4220.20 February: $2113.11 January: $2158.91 2010: December: $9416.16 November: $4030.76 October: $2937.47 September: $2755.52 August: $2212.95 July: $3345.83 June: $2364.29 May: $3201.62 April: $16104.49 March: $4387.99 February: $1452.57 January: $2291.50 2009: December: $4762.98 November: $5122.29 October: $1759.27 September: $2138.21 August: $2510.86 July: $2202.37 June: $2723.83 May: $2221.92 April: $2549.15 March: $2997.46 February: $1428.62 January: $2099.48 2008: December: $5279.49 November: $1305.10 October: $1868.30 September: $1695.48 August: $3101.50 July: $5543.99 June: $1531.09 May: $1943.71 April: $3757.64 March: $1749.50 February: $2844.93 January: $1697.73

Saitorr posted:I have this weird issue where my dwarves won't smelt all of the adamantine strands in a stockpile. They'll smelt down to a single bin, but then stop saying they need strands. I tried forbidding/freeing the bin but it just cancels some dwarf's storage job. The furnace doesn't even recognize free adamantine strands, but I can see them in there. They might be claimed by the hospital.

neogeo0823 posted:What I really love about that is that those titles sound like foundational knowledge that can be used to discover other things and gain greater knowledge. For example, what happens when a scholar finishes reading Injuries For Everyone, and Dissection: Before and After? Will they have a revelation and suddenly become an amazing doctor, with their new found knowledge? Or will they use that knowledge to write a book that will lead to the first mechanical prosthetic limbs? Knowing Toady, they'll probably end up having an existential crisis which will require Toady to spend the next three months implementing the French diseases of the soul. That, naturally, will lead to a need to model simultaneous responses to existentialism, including Secular Dwarfism, Finite-Infinite Meaning Making, and Retrospection Derived From Earlier Tales of Afterlife Punishments. All of which will factor into the Army Arc somehow.

Jothan posted:There's a project I've been interested in trying for a while now, but I've never figured out whether or not it's possible. I'd like to devote a series of forts to building a massive bridge that spans an ocean between two continents on the world map. If you created a wave of magma on the edge of the map and then used DFHack to take control of one of your dwarves and go into adventure mode, then the wave of magma should (I don't know if anyone has tried it) flow out and onto the bordering area and create obsidian as it goes. Or just use the magma tool while in adventure mode and drop magma until the obsidian builds up enough to connect the bridge pieces.
