A fresh Dwarf Fortress thread? Oh boy, he must have released the latestscamtank posted:
 scamtank posted:Is this poo poo seriously all text? My head hurts already. As a lover of the ASCII tileset, all that white seriously hurts my eyes. Do I have to dive into the raws and change a bunch of stuff if I want it to be darker, or should I be a baby and just go for the 'art' version? Visually I can understand what all the ASCII symbols mean (except the pink beds, wtf? Did you chop trees in an underground cave or something?) but while I appreciate difficulty I don't like having my retinas burned out.

6 months in, i've gotten about 40 dwarven children immigrants, not a single one of the adult migrants had a skill above adequate/novice EXCEPT for a Great Animal Trainer (thanks that really doesn't help) and im already being sieged by goblins i thought these guys weren't meant to show up for at leaast a year or two, it's like i'm playing the orc mod except that's probably easier

yeah ok now a bunch of my dwarves are killing each other, one of my hunters went berserk and i sent the military to kill him and now i guess everyone just wants to murder everyone else? i don't even know e: it's at least one rear end in a top hat if not more who's systematically beating the poo poo out of as many of my dwarves as he can find, he's getting better and better at fighting i think my fortress has turned into one of those survivor-type stories where there can be only one and you have to kill all other competitors where the red fern gropes fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Sep 6, 2014 |

gently caress off you piece of poo poo a few questions 1. can this rear end in a top hat break floodgates 2. will this rear end in a top hat break floodgates 3. if i send dwarves to fight this guy will he do some seriously nasty poo poo to them regardless of whether or not he dies 4. do megabeats (i assume that is what this is) normally flash like they're legendary-skilled or am i extra bonus hosed (he's going between yellow and tan, like a farmer/woodcutter) 5. fuckkkkkkkkk 6. do they have trapavoid 7. what do i do

i want to send my main dwarves (the high-end contributing ones that support the fort as opposed to the legion of haulers) off to a special area to not get killed, but every time i set a station order to a squad they always gently caress off to the entrance and get killed, even when i tell them to go in the other direction how do i make them not do this?

ok so all the dwarves that show up to my fort are either novice or adequate in a bunch of skills. the exception are a bunch of speardwarves who seem to be really good at tracking for some reason. every single dwarf that shows up inevitably has about four pages worth of relatives if not more. tantrum spirals are alive and well in this fort anyway this one fucker shows up  'talented'. 'competent'. sure buddy  born day 1 and you don't have any friends?  that's your standard diety, sure ... ok go gently caress yourself with a rake  what settings do i need in order to set this guy on a permanent military patrol?

Spoggerific posted:If does she turn out to be a vampire, you can wall her in and drop supplies from above, then have her drop the finished armor into a pit. Everyone wins! The vampire gets to live and work a fulfilling job, your dwarves don't get eaten, and you get a tireless armorsmith. wouldn't the quality go down if they haven't done dwarfy stuff in a while? also i assigned a bunch of them to a burrow (because there's like 6 dwarves that showed up all with these suspicious traits) and now they're just standing in place and not moving. maybe a meeting hall will get them moving e: if any of them fall asleep or get hungry or thirsty that means they're safe right? i can let them out? once my mason stops being on break of course and if they starve oh well e2: thanks to a strange mood clothier making a chausse i know that a necromancer is king of my civ. just to confirm, if this friendly, civ-aligned necromancer were arrive at my fort and pass by my refuse pile he would happily begin raising horrifying undead beasts? where the red fern gropes fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Sep 9, 2014 |

this is weird, my magma forges don't work, my anvils (made of iron and imported) no longer seem to be usable and when I try to remake the forges it complains that the iron anvils aren't magma-safe? they're not being moved to a stockpile or anything.

OK I guess TSK didn't show up and forbidding/unforbidding didn't work until a dwarf picked up an anvil and I told him to piss off. Although even built over magma the forge isn't lighting up so  e: I guess... now they're doing it...?

OK anyone tell me what's going on here? I noticed all these merchant items were all on a single tile, as though the unit carrying them had dropped them all. I didn't seize them but the merchants have left and now I'm stuck with all this crap which I didn't want. This isn't the first time it's happened either.

El Disco posted:If the pack animal falls unconscious for even an instant, it drops everything it was carrying. You do get blamed for the loss, but that looks like dwarven poo poo. There aren't any consequences for that, as you'll never be sieged by your own civ. Elves and Humans do get a little pissed off. How would it even fall unconscious? Admittedly it's right next to my refuse pile and there's tons of corpses in there, but still.

Angela Christine posted:Once you have some stability it is really worthwhile to build a little fence (walls made of stone blocks) around your outdoor refuse pile. Since the fence isn't to keep out enemies but just to prevent caravans from seeing scary things, you can just use regular doors for access, you don't need to seal it with bridges or whatever. Yeah in fairness I am at the point where I am exploiting melting orders to duplicate metal so this shouldn't be too tough. The thing that dropped all its stuff seems to have dropped my offerings as well so I won't get a monarch till at least next year, but he's basically useless so who cares. Also does the baron get promoted to count/duke automatically or do I have to do something special? e: since when do noble mandates automatically generate arrests? I thought I could just ignore this poo poo but apparently they get arrested automatically? where the red fern gropes fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Sep 14, 2014 |

Suicide Sam E. posted:In all likelihood if the bonus goods are next to your refuse pile, you killed (or stunned) a caravan animal by hitting it in the head with garbage. IDK why stone traps are laughably useless, but hit someone with stray mule cartilage and you're lucky if they don't die. the refuse pile is on a couple of ramps and all the items that have dropped in the past have been on ramps maybe the motionless item hits them from above while they're going down or some poo poo

Fishing is pretty sweet, and you can consistently find 'fish' (turtles, what-have-you) in water reserves you made even if it's a stairwell leading down to the part of the fort you accidentally flooded. ah yes, my first 2014 fortress death "Urist, the undead are coming!
