Diogines posted:I understand the ascii purists, but most people play with tiles at this point. If the OP is intended to be a recruiting tool to advertise the game, how about mixing in some actual graphics? There is no DF tileset less ugly than the ASCII though, every single one is atrocious.

TOOT BOOT posted:Not at all. Dwarf Fortress especially can be really busy-looking when playing in ASCII. I'm not really sure how tilesets help with this though. DF is a very busy game, a lot of poo poo is frequently happening on screen and the game doesn't really do a lot to highlight which poo poo is important regardless of whether you are using ASCII or tilesets. It doesn't help that tiles in DF are tiny and can't fit any detail that would make them more aesthetically pleasant than ASCII unlike in, say, DCSS - it's way harder to rapidly distinguish dwarves from one another in just about any tileset I've seen.

Fights in adventure mode are hilariously chatty now. I'm surrounded by goblins and they won't shut up about how they feel no terror. e: Oh god, I killed one and now they're in full-on Kurtz mode.

Seems like adventure mode is less ball-crushingly hard now, I just walked into an ambush of at least a dozen goblins with a brand new character and two meatshields and while the meatshields went down pretty quick, I killed half of the goblins and sent the rest packing without a scratch.

Indecisive posted:So I haven't played in years, how does animal care + breeding work? I assume I should build a pen for them on grass somewhere? And have a dwarf assigned to them to do.. something? I designated a zone for a pen/pasture but of course the animals don't give a gently caress, in the middle of building walls around it which is going slow as FFFFUCK because the masons won't use wheelbarrows to move the stone. Animals breed by basically magic, as long as you have both sexes in your fortress they will whelp eventually even if they're not pastured. You should still pasture them though. A dwarf is usually needed to drag the animal to the pasture to begin with (and drag it back when it eventually gets scared and runs away), but they aren't required for anything else (except training, but that's a whole different problem). There's no need to wall in your pastures, but when you do construct walls, do not use raw stone. As you noticed, it takes for loving ever. Use rock blocks, which are much lighter. In pretty much every fort where I plan to do extensive surface building, I have one mason assigned to churn out rock blocks non-stop.

Sankis posted:What's up with Collect Webs? I have a guy sitting here spamming that he can't reach when there's an open path to the cave system below my fort. It seemed to only happen when I built some walls down there (that didn't block anything) but even after removing them it's happening. I think dwarves can cue up jobs to collect webs or hunt in caverns even when you haven't revealed the tiles on which the webs/animals are, but when they go to perform the job they won't be able to find a path until the tile is revealed.

Mr. Glass posted:is Dwarf Therapist for Mac out for 40.05 yet? Yeah, the current Mac Newbie pack has it. Unrelatedly, I've been trying to fix the raws by comparison to 0.34.11 to get the Process Plant to Bag reaction to work again, but I guess I just suck at messing with the raws because the option is still red even after messing with both reaction_other.txt and plant_standard.txt. Will I need to gen a new world to see any effect, or will modifying the raw files under the region save get it to work?

Kennel posted:That gathering zone update itself has just a minimal effect on gameplay, but multi-item hauls would be very useful. Agreed, but I fully expect it to be implemented such that all your dwarves try to pick up every loose stone in the fortress until they're carrying 10000000 pounds of rocks two squares before getting tired out and going to sleep, then waking up and moving them another two squares...

In the old system it was -20 (in perspective, 40% as bad as being attacked by a zombie), just enough that a meal in a legendary dining room would cancel it out. Not sure how much it has changed with the new system but I doubt it is all that bad.

canepazzo posted:Has .40.x killed off all kobolds forever? I haven't had a single Kobold thief in multiple forts, multiple worlds, since the July release; come to think of it, no Goblin snatchers either. Sieges and ambushes started to reappear more frequently when he fixed the "stuck armies" bug, but still no thieves. Plenty of FBs and weres tho. This is just a hunch, but I haven't noticed kobolds in any of my games for quite a while myself, so I think they might be getting killed off in worldgen. Kobolds are wimps after all.

abrosheen posted:Thanks for the response. Making better use of burrows and streamlining flow of dwarves/work through my forts are things I've been ignoring for a while, so that's probably the problem. I tried to build this current fort around forcing the dwarves to walk past a water fall and outside to avoid adaption, and the end result was a huge logistical mess Plant clothing is easy. Grow a farm of pig tails, process plants at a farmer's workshop to get thread, weave plant thread at a loom to get cloth, dye the cloth if you're feeling adventurous, make cloth whatever at a clothier's shop, make your surplus pig tails into booze. Animal is even easier, instead of farming you just need to have the animal and butcher/shear it. The most annoying part of the whole business is making the actual clothes, which is a great opportunity to use work orders so you don't have to scroll through a twenty item list looking for socks

canepazzo posted:Do you guys ever get the bug where randomly, the entirety of the fortress you dug out will get filled with stone as if you never dug anything (furniture, workshops and doors will stay tho, as will dwarves, trapped) and Hell gets unleashed? Had that happen to 2 different maps on 2 different worlds, and is not reproducible. No, but the next time it happens you should post the save because that sounds loving awesome

Muscle Tracer posted:Do we know much about the grammar of dwarfish? Word order and antecedents and conjugations and so forth? I can't remember ever encountering it outside of naming. Only insofar as it doesn't have any of those things in-game, unless Toady changed that with the last release. As far as I know all the Dwarf Fortress languages are totally uninflected, but otherwise ciphers of English.
