So I havent played this in god knows how many years, apparently you can drop people onto upright spike pits and itll spike them properly instead of needing to be on the tile when the trap is activated? This opens up a lot of possibilities. Also wheelbarrows and mine carts  I'm very excited to play again

So Math posted:Spiking also doesn't give them ungodly amounts of training if they survive, which was a bug for a while. Does that mean you can't carpet your barracks with training spears and have your dwarves dodge constantly as they train? or is that something seperate?

Sad that danger rooms were nerfed, but happy everyone still calls them that  The steam version is looking absolutely gorgeous, it was seeing screenshots of it that made me redownload the game

I had a kobold thief sneak in and try to steal a legendary hematite scepter that I lazily left in the trade stockpile. I have two entrances, one normal one with two 18x3x1 pits with drawbridges over them, the other one looks like a Saw/Takeshi's Castle crossover. I hit the bridge lever to cut off the kobold and force him to use the other tunnel, where my axedwarves will wait in ambush, but guess what dumbass skimped out and used poor quality mechanisms on his vitally important security system!  The kobold gets past the first bridge just as the military gets on the scene, one plucky recruit dashes out after the kobold, but just as the kobold nearly passes the second bridge, the mechanisms FINALLY latch, and the bridge hurls upward, turning the kobold into a fine mist and a pool of blood. The recruit also fell and injured his arm, but laying a few tiles away soaked in blood was the hematite scepter perfectly unharmed. He didnt do all that much but the barracks are getting some solid gold weapon stands in honour of his spirit

Started a new map and saw I had sandy clay, hell yeah infinite spikes and pots!  then after a quick lookup, sandy clay only counts as clay. Well at least I still get the pots.Then I realized it was sandy clay loam, meaning I have nothing but disappointment  at least the woods are dummy thicc so it's not like I cant just churn out barrels instead

A few questions about newer features, since I'm pretty sure the last version I played was 40d  -How important are guildhalls? I'm hesitating to accept guildhall petitions because the big "THIS PETITION HAS BEEN ABANDONED" makes me assume it either gave bad thoughts to dwarves or it blocked me off of something. -Taverns. Is there any real downside to having a big tavern instead of a big meeting hall? (Also I like that the barkeep doles out drinks, and one of the peasants I figured was useless turned out to be a legendary musician )-Is it worth it to bring a dwarf with good axing and teaching skills because seriously these losers have been practicing with axes for like a year now and only a few got past dabbling. -Aquifers are pretty great now, not really a question but I remember them being annoying enough to rummage through an initial file to delete the tag from everything. -Long shot, any chance I can assign a wheelbarrow to a workshop? Its excruciating watching my Mason lug a rock he found god knows where as haulers speed by him with other rocks to the stockpile beside the workshop with literally hundreds of rocks god DAMMIT Bomrek

I like the monster hunters that show up, rent a room, explore and map the underground cave for me, then wind up in my corpse stockpile a week or so later We'll engrave a slab for you, buddy, thanks for finding all the hematite

It's not a bad idea but once you figure out the magical button combination that actually gets your dwarves to start training (I genuinely forget what it is offhand ) you can basically sequester off ten cheese makers who turn themselves into axe tornadoes for the price of ten bars of iron and a few years (Please also put armour on them but like, that didnt sound as good and also I'd have to do math)

I definitely remember a bug where you could strategically burn the fat off your dwarves, and once they were out of fat they were completely immune to fire and could safely traverse magma

I do the thing where you use a magma proof bridge and break into the volcano from below because I'm a lousy cheat who wants his dang magma

Khanstant posted:what's this? Phone posting so I cant draw a diagram, but a z level below where you want to breach, build ramps up against the volcano wall and build a magma proof bridge over the gap it made. Seal off the magma tunnel and designate the breach area for mining. Since the dwarves cant stand on the bridge, they'll stand under it on the ramps and dig out the wall without any danger of lava touching them. It's not TECHNICALLY cheating but it's definitely not intended Plus it just feels REALLY good to watch a five tile wide magma river flowing i

Gnoman posted:It wasn't just the skill growth being uncapped that was once a problem. In the 40d days, stats grew based on any skill increase, so you could become very strong by being a legendary+20 gatherer. Starting with the 2010 release, every stat had a list of skills that would boost it, greatly curbing growth. Hell yes I remember sending out my bookkeeper to bust up raids because he spent all day grinding administration skills and gaining Hulk-like strength as a result

I'm excited to be the elder dwarf to all the newcomers, regaling them with stories of the days before Z-levels, or the scourge of landwalking zombie carp, or even just how a wild goat and a goblin whip wielder looked exactly the same until one of your dwarves' hand flew off

7c Nickel posted:The thing is these existed in earlier Z level versions! I don't know why he took out surface Chasms and Pits since they were always my favorite embarks during 40d. They stopped fitting once the world started having an actual bottom. As funny as an instant path to the circus on embark would be on paper, it would probably be less fun in practice
