For the most basic of graphics mods, this is a square version of the default tileset without the stretching issues.

Arven posted:Really though, does this mean that the fantasy flora is going away? Mushrooms don't work in real life like they do in this game, so he can't completely get away from it. I would guess it'll follow the same pattern as trees, animals and so on - real plants in the environments that actually exist, fantasy ones in the caverns and evil regions and such. We might see the end of rope reeds and prickle berries but we're probably keeping plump helmets and pig tails.

You could also channel out your final wall from above, keeping the dwarf out of the path of the magma entirely.

I do hope we will one day have pools of general liquids. A reservoir filled with booze, now that's what Dwarf Fortress is all about. Or maybe a giant statue of a dwarf, holding a mug from which pours an endless waterfall of beer. Straight into the dining room, so everyone gets drunk off the mist.

Is this the same plugin that allows for unlimited tilesets? This UI progress is more exciting than the actual DF update that's been two years in the making.

Do you mean the dwarf fortresses? Right now that's just worldgen using the same symbol for big cities as for small hillocks - it's the same system as human hamlets in the last version.

Azhais posted:It's really there so that on top of everything else that is a little skeevy about Succubus forts, they can all be lesbians now too. I wonder if orientation is respected in worldgen too? In that case, an all-gay civilisation would never survive more than one generation. Toady explained it in the new Future Of The Fortress thread. It was originally for the sake of your adventurers once they retire so that they can lead their own lives, but he never got round to implementing a dialog that lets you choose their orientation so it just applies to NPCs. Each caste can have its own distribution of orientation, but it's only in terms of gender. The orientation tag is the distribution of probability for "disinterested", "willing to romance" and "willing to commit". This means I can finally make a society of ant-men in which only the queen and drones reproduce while not making the workers genderless! I can just set the workers' orientations to be disinterested in everyone (or at least disinterested in the men. I guess having the occasional worker ants falling in love with each other could be kind of cute.)

Salvor_Hardin posted:How does it work if you have a chair and throne in the same room, designate the chair as a study and the table as a dining room, and assign them both to 1 noble? Does the "value" of the room get divided or something? Last I knew, having a room overlap with another room divided both rooms' value by four. It was divided by four no matter how many other rooms were intersected. So you could do it, but the room needed to be four times the target value. This was several versions ago, though, so it might have changed.

A ramp must be against a wall. On top of that wall must be pathable ground, including more ramps. Stairs, however, can be purely vertical and stacked however high you like. The only real advantage to ramps is that you only have to designate one end of them and the other turns up automatically. Otherwise it's purely aesthetic.

tinkerttoy posted:Playing Adventure, I raided a cave packed to the gills with all kinds of dragons, and at the end, I found three dragon eggs. There are three pertinent questions: With a lot of dragons in the area, presuming some were male, they could be fertile! In theory, they should hatch if you don't touch them. Eggs take three months to hatch. They will almost certainly try to kill you. Maybe you could embark a fort on the cave? Then you might be able to tame the baby dragons.

Nietzschean posted:I've never rode out a full development cycle before. How long do we expect it to be before Toady stops putting out new patches every week or so? As excited as I am for the new version, I have avoided playing while waiting for some of the big bugs to be fixed (everyone being terrified of everything for example) and for the version to stabilize. A few months. The previous version was released on the 14th of February and its final bugfix on the 4th of June. I'm not sure where in all that the most crippling bugs were fixed, though, or even if there were many crippling bugs.

Rasmussen posted:I grew to love the ascii in this game and don't bother with graphical tiles anymore, but my tiles must be square, not the slightly taller than wider default. My 5x5 rooms need to be square not rectangular! Here's the tileset I use. It's the default set made into square tiles by adding more space at the sides rather than stretching them out like the square tileset in the game.

Also kind of hoping Toady fixes the "invaders always win" off-screen battles so that we can have a succession world rather than just a fortress. That's a bit pie-in-the-sky for this release set though, there's probably complicated reasons he set it up that way.

Farm lists auto-sorting and alerting you based on what you have seeds for is nice, especially now that there's a thousand and one different plants. Hopefully we'll be able to pick fruit soon.

He might not, though, you could get lucky. 4. That's normal for night creatures like werecreatures. 5. Don't panic. 6. No. I think. 7. Keep all your dwarves inside and make your path of least resistance go through your traps. He'll only by around for an in-game day until he turns back, which is not very long at all. Just hold out. If anyone gets into combat with him, lock them away for a month to make sure they won't turn too.

I suppose really having a full economy simulator and military strategy game are the two big end goals of Fortress mode. I mean, where else do you go from there? Ultimately all of it is going to contribute to one of those two things.

Nietzschean posted:Toady is really impressing me with how quickly he is putting out bug fixes these days. How did he go from no releases in two years to a release every couple of days or weeks? He does this. It's a cycle of one long development with big, sweeping underlying changes where he tries to tackle everything remotely connected to what he's doing, then once that's done he does a bunch of tweak updates with bug fixes and the occasional major gameplay overhaul that turned out to be relatively simple.

Nietzschean posted:I vaguely recall reading somewhere that overlapping rooms stop decreasing each other's values after a certain number of rooms. Anyone have any hard math on that? My recollection is that a room that overlaps another room will have its value reduced by 75%, no matter how many rooms it overlaps with. So if you have five overlapping rooms covering the same valuable objects, you're in higher value than scattering them between the five rooms separately. I don't know if that's changed or anything though.

I think the game would be definitely improved if every object could have a unique sprite, but currently that can't be done. Since you're going to need to abstract some symbols into multiple things anyway, I prefer ASCII, because then at least you don't have elven cities represented by tankards and so on.

I'd give them [CRAZED] or [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] just to give them that driven sense of destruction. Maybe also remove some of the other animals that appear in their biomes so you're more likely to see them.

Helical Nightmares posted:Is toady planning to add tech trees like Civ or something? At the moment, no. All the technology development is just flavour setting for now. It might affect some of the tools civs have available down the line, similar to how animal training is, but I don't think he wants to restrict the things you can do with your fortress very much. If nothing else you'd probably want to be able to continue advancing world gen for a century or two before making such a thing important; it'd suck to start a fort just to realise no one in your world has invented steel or the archimedean screw yet.

A section of the cavity has collapsed! I wonder if they way these libraries is functioning is going to inform an eventual shift of workshops to being zone-based. It looks like the mechanics are going to be pretty transferrable, though workshops wouldn't be as autonomous.

If all the barrels are away being hauled, dwarves won't wait for one, they'll just put their item directly in the stockpile. That's probably what's happening.

abrosheen posted:Today I had a "vile force of darkness," which the wiki attributes to goblins, siege my fortress, but it was 8 or so elves and nothing else... Goblins went through all the trouble of kidnapping and raising these elves to adulthood just to send them on a suicide mission? At least use them as trap fodder for the main invasion force. I think "a vile force of darkness" refers to any siege, goblins just being the most common.
