I think the long-term plan is for workshops to be replaced with the zone/location system? I vaguely recall hearing that somewhere.

Is it possible to see the details of performances in fort mode, or is that just for adventurers?

Mygna posted:You can now hit enter when looking at a dwarf with v to bring up details of his current job, including extensive descriptions of performances they are holding or listening to. Sweet. Looks like that only applies to residents, which would be why I hadn't found it (all the performances were being done by visitors).

RedTonic posted:If the king of your civ dies, who takes over the role? Is someone just elected to the position? I ask because the current king doesn't, and won't, have an heir. Also, do widowed dwarves remarry? I believe if there are no related heirs the successor is picked at random.

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Huh, it's not in the list at all. Can anyone think of a reason why it wouldn't show up on a pretty fresh copy of the game? I installed a tileset, but I wouldn't think that would mess it up. It should be there unless you're working from old raws. Did the tileset include raw files, or did it only affect the Data folder? That would probably break it if it's not up to date. The option is here:

Sergeant_Crunch posted:You know I think it might have. I'm using spacefox and I think it changed the font along with a few other things possibly. How would I go about re-updating my raws without breaking my save? Would I just copy and paste from a fresh download or do I need to avoid messing with some things? The safest thing is to copy and paste the Raw>Objects folder from a fresh download, though it will then break some of the tileset graphics (so you might see grates in the walls or what have you). Alternatively, you could go into that folder and copy everything except the inorganic_* files (but do copy inorganic_other; just leave the rest), so you'll keep any of the reconfiguring of the rock images. None of the normal rocks and dirts got changed in the last update, just the derivatives in inorganic_other.

It'll be in item_tools. Bear in mind though you'll need to generate a new world for the new raws to take effect. You could even just copy the bookcase entry and paste into the new one, it's near the bottom.

It still amuses me that Toady spends a year making sure the world's scholars properly exchange and develop technologies and ideas, then quickly cranks out the power to make specific item orders during the bugfixing stage. He's done that before too with minecarts...

IronicDongz posted:So I just started playing this again, after a long time of barely playing it/not playing it at all. Forbid and unforbid the rock. Normally if there's something in the way of the site, a dwarf will move it, but if another dwarf is set to get it for a different job they can't. Forbidding and unforbidding cancels whatever task it was being claimed for so your builder can move it.

Toiwat posted:(Translated: haven't really played since 0.34.whatever, how much of the initial progression has changed?) You'll probably want to explore the revamped work orders, since now you can just set up a "make this minimum number of beds/drinks/etc" order and leave it forever from the start of the game.

I'm intrigued by the creation settings on that feature list. Magic, Randomness and Hostility could make for some very unique games if nothing is able to fight, or dogs have toxic quills or something.

super fart shooter posted:What's changed that allows civilians to go on the offense like this? Booze. Alcohol now actually gets people drunk, including affecting their bravery and immoderation. Dwarves are pretty much perpetually sloshed if you're treating them right, so they're much more willing to fight. Including the occasional bar fight that leaves a corpse or two.

To me I think the primary interface problem is one of having multiple solutions to the same problem. The stocks menu, the stockpile menu, the trading menu, the construction material menu - they all give the basic function of "pick from a list of available items" in different ways with different control schemes. There's four different ways a 'building' can exist - workshops, zones, rooms designated from furniture, and now locations. There's a button for examining units, and one for examining building contents, and one for generally looking at things, all of which fit the function of "tell me what is on this spot". The game could benefit a lot just by unifying the processes that do the same basic thing.

You can edit the raws so that dwarves reach adulthood much earlier. Look for [CHILD:12] and lower the number.

shame on an IGA posted:wait so we have now another liquids system that's more granular than 0-9 per square? The spatter system is pretty old, you used to see it with blood a lot. Notably, it used to be that blood would get onto the feet of your dwarves who would track it all over your fortress by getting onto other dwarves' shoes and so on.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I like the idea of having more gameplay-oriented, long-term goals in fortress mode. I never was much for megaprojects. Well, building your own fiefdom isn't going to be in for this major release, but maybe the next one? It seems like the natural extension from here to sort out dependent sites. Then you can get your conquest on.

chaosapiant posted:I have not. What’s all that about? I have dwarf therapist. Is that the same thing? Manager is a job title in the [n]obles screen. Once you have a manager, you can set up work orders like "make 10 beds" and they'll automatically be handed out to whichever workshops are free to do the task.

Popete posted:So do you have to relinquish a fort to start another fort? Can you then later on go back to the old fort? But you can only ever have one active at a time. This is all correct. You also have to leave the fort if you want to play Adventure mode. Note that Retiring a fort relinquishes it to the AI so you can do something else; Abandonding the fort turns it into a ruin that you'll have to reclaim from scratch.

SubNat posted:I'd really love custom liquids though, even though there wouldn't be a lot to do with them, other than making beer-waterfalls and the like. You make it sound like this isn't an excellent reason to make full fluid systems in itself. I think the main problem with getting beer and other liquids in tile form is managing what happens when they meet. Water and lava/magma have a set combination of turning into obsidian; it's a lot less clear what happens when Water meets Dwarven Ale, or Great Olm Blood meets Alpaca Milk. I'm sure it's inevitable at some point, though. Liquids are already well-defined as coatings and drinks, these just need to be extended onto terrain to be a proper simulation. It'll probably get put in as a side-project when Toady One wants to make a cool aesthetic for secret temples or something.

Tias posted:One thing I've always wondered about, is there a reason some leathers cost more than others from start? If I pay 15p blind cave bear leather instead of the (presumably shittier) 5p dingo leather, will I get something that is somehow stronger, or yields better protection from blows? Anyone know the mechanics or just reason behind the cost differential? I think it's just a straight cost modifier on each creature, and more expensive products give happier thoughts and contribute to fortress wealth but don't make practical differences.
