NewMars posted:The best thing about it though, is the nightmare mode option which puts you in a crazy dystopian nightmare state at the start, with death squads with ridiculous judge-dredd esque uniforms, Fahrenheit 451 firemen who burn down your safehouses if you have a newspaper, crazy genetic experiments in the labs (that you can recruit) and mutants swamping the juice bars and co-ops (that are either completely poo poo or have ridiculously high stats). Your post made me download LCS and now I'm totally loving hooked on the nightmare mode. Help.

Lowen posted:Building constructions is a skilless labor now, so you can put all those useless idlers to use, get rid of all those rocks, and put smooth(ish) flooring in your fortress in one move. It would be nice if you could pick which jobs are skilless from a menu in the game. That way I can put all the lazy bums on floor smoothing and turn it off later when I have a few skilled engravers. Or just put smooth floors on the skilless job set permanently and keep engraving for engravers.

Can you make trapdoors that open when enemy units step on them yet? Or cover a hole with twigs? I always wanted to use holes with spikes as regular traps and not lever activated poo poo but I could never make it work. I want to drop goblins into an underground horror zoo filled with monsters and their impaled kin.

The Moon Monster posted:That fight was pretty funny. The Werezebra started by ripping a fisherdwarf to pieces, as is their wont, but ended the fight holding a -felt cap- in one hand and a +dwarven silk sock+ sock in the other. When my steel clad swordsdwarf squad got there he just started slapping them with his shreds of cloth while they hacked/nibbled him to death. Biter is still infected though. Probably.

Wonderslug posted:The real fun is when a necromancer (or three) stealth infiltrates your fort and finds your bone/shell stockpile. Cue screaming dwarves running from a swarm of vengeance-seeking oyster shells, which I imagine hop around like those novelty wind-up teeth. Game should really modify bravery against mob size so that any old cook can just walk over and squish the animated tongues under his boots.

By far the best thing about Masterwork is that it condenses all the rat, bat, dog and cow leathers into just "leather" with a few grades depending on the beasts rarity. Is there another mod that does this with the latest version?

Crimson Harvest posted:Is it still a decent strat to dig down to the cavern layers and build there first? It's risky depending on the enemies. But it's still my preferred build to have my main fort focused on the first cavern layer with cave openness cranked to mass and minimum cave water around the 25 mark. I just wish underground rivers were more common.

Pickled Tink posted:You can build surface buildings in the caverns too, with the added benefit of being able to have below ground digging both above and below them. You always have easy access to magma. Most of the time a straight stairway to the magma layer is actually shorter than the trip from the dining room to a dwarfs bedroom. People tend to forget that because it takes a lot of clicking < to get there, but that's why the game has shortcuts. I usually set 1 for surface entrance, 2 for dining rooms, 3 for crafting rooms, 4 for kitchens and 5 for the magma forges. It's super easy to skip around your fort with those shortcuts and helps you move a little away from super compact forts.

Spanish Matlock posted:Yeah a lot of the changes in masterwork (like the meatstone) made food essentially a joke. But then a lot of other changes in masterwork (like unkillable stone demons and asbestos poisoning) made life a living hell. So on balance, it was all gravy more or less. Masterwork had a bunch of cool stuff and of course a bunch of junk too, but that's just a side effect of how drat big it is. Personally I really love how it condenses materials into basic types you can make through various means. Animal leathers tend to be just leather and not (X)leather which makes your stockpiles neater, but it also adds a few extra tiers so you can get iron grade leathers from rarer animals and such. Warpstone dust was a cool extra I thought and added some attrition to your miner workforce but I can totally see why it'd piss people off too. Of course a bunch of magical classes were really confusing and hard to do properly but a lot of mods played around with castes which I actually like. There's also a bunch of stuff like mithril ore and the magic gems (like tears of armok generating infinite water) that let you work around a few map limitations.

Captain Mediocre posted:I think its a law of the dwarfiverse that if you embark with only one male animal that animal will be sterile or homosexual. Take two boars. What's the best way to handle them in practice? Do you just slaughter boars and leave the sows to reproduce exponentially? Also what's the best way to organize them without too much clutter?

I want the cave layers to have multistory mushroom tree's. In fact it would be great if the caves were just bigger, by default they are completely randomized but I love huge open caves with multiple layers. Maybe Toady could tweak the cave gen to reflect that.

Sultan Tarquin posted:So a few of my dwarves got caught by some dust while fighting a forgotten beast. It was the kind that melts everything it touches and produces clouds of miasma. But they fought it right next to the hospital so they were able to be carried there and the dust covering was cleaned before it could fully kill them. Pretty much every single part of their body is yellow or red. They can't see and the description is "mangled beyond recognition." I expected them to never leave the hospital but they're up and training/doing tasks Metal as gently caress

They're not even flashing to indicate they're wounded so it's just like a dwarf shaped mound of mangled flesh going about its usual business.

Lareine posted:I just realized I don't have sand on my embark. I need the sand to make the glass corkscrews that gets put in the screw pumps that pumps the magma so I can finally forge stuff without using up all my wood. Now I have to make the corkscrews out of either nethercap wood(which is guarded by serpent men) or out of metal which will use up twice as much charcoal as the glass would've. I could potentially solve that by making the forge way way down at the bottom where the magma is but that is incredibly inefficient considering my dwarves live up top. Can't be worse than using up all my possible wood just to make some goddamned corkscrews. It really isn't. A vertical stair down will be like 30 blocks. It's probably more than 30 blocks between your bedrooms and main dining room.

Can you turn off migrants entirely? I want to try my hand at a fort with the first 7 and whatever children they can produce. I've tried this in the past by tuning down max pop but you always get the first wave and I think it stops them from producing children.
