Feel the weight of a three paragraph devlog! Toady One posted:I decided to try to haul a backpack of black zircons from the fortress of Whirllancers to Paddletaker on the other side of the mountains, six world map tiles away. The broker was at the depot (they aren't nearly as tardy as your own brokers), and I made the first deal... I think I traded my socks and trousers, maybe more. The tunnel opened out into the first cavern layer, which was watery at this point, so it was actually a large bridge over a pool. Guards were milling around, but before long I was all alone with only the various funguses to keep me company. The tunnel has a smooth and civilized floor, but it is often open to the underground wilderness. In fact, I was accosted by a wild troll at the first corner. Managing to skewer it, I carried on. There was another bridge... and a cave crocodile decided to attack, providing more food for the journey. Sounds fantastic, especially considering you can leave fortresses you've made and they'll still be run by AI, you should be able to trade for good gear now!

Vengarr posted:You guys want to solve everything with magma. As far as I know, steam doesn't hurt people like it used to, now it's just a gentle cleansing. You could put your dwarves in the steam room instead, maybe they'd like it!

nielsm posted:You should probably mirror images you want to share from places like that. (They referrer-blocked it so nothing shows up for others.) Haha, that's excellent, all it's missing is a dwarf skeleton at the bottom of that river.

Yeah, I do that too. 2x1, coffin, engraved slab over it when the corpse is placed inside. It's fun!

Has anyone tried cutting down a tree in front of an elf? I wonder if they would break down into tears.

super fart shooter posted:There's a giant sponge near my embark that's perpetually overcome by terror. It doesn't seem to be having the same effect on my creatures though! It's nice to finally give some back to those things I ran across two giant sponges in adventure mode, I was just walking down to the river when I heard some screaming. Turns out they hated each other and kept yelling at the other to surrender, or the occasional "Let's stop this pointless violence!" followed by a "Never!" Stuck eternally, next to someone you hate more than anything, unable to do anything but sling insults at each other. Also as I took a running jump over the river (which was hella rad) the sponges saw me and for a moment were surprised. "What's this, are we under attack?" "An ambush!" Or something like that.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Okay, now the questing system has been completely overhauled, and you need guides. The issue is that getting a guide is also tied to the party limit. This is rather infuriating. When you press k you can then move your selection area, as if you were examining something. I had trouble with that same thing at first too!

Iunnrais posted:I'm guessing you belonged to an entity that had wronged her entity before? I think Toady mentioned something like that happening in one of the old dev logs, except involving wildlife. I had something slightly similar, I got two party members and stumbled upon some goblins living in what I will assume is a hill dwarf hut. They were friendly enough, so I decided to start chatting one up, I got off a "Greetings!" and as soon as I did my bowman shot the goblin in the face and killed him instantly. The other goblin in the room was shocked but didn't do anything.

So what does Dwarf Therapist actually do, anyway? Is it just for jobs of people? I never found that very tedious, guess I'm lucky.

Archonex posted:Suffice to say that the place looked hilariously hosed. I considered just walling the underground portion of the fort itself off to let them all murder each other instead of trying to regain control of the underside. Wow, that's amazingly cool. Maybe I should get back to playing some Masterwork while I wait for a couple more bug fixes.

Was watching a livestream when the player's companion suddenly said this: Pretty goddamn hardcore, also surprised there's extra dialog if the person you are talking to is related to whoever they want you to kill. I really, really love this new dialog system. Also the same companion said right before this her niece was murdered by some night creature, so this person has not had the greatest of lives.

Who What Now posted:All my dorfs live in 2x2 rooms each with their own bed, chest, and cabinet. And a door. And they like it, drat it. I think I've said this before, but I feel the most efficient room is a 4x4 room, with a bed in every corner. Four dwarves will all get their own 2x2 sections of the room, and you can give them a cabinet if you want. Also, added value that since everyone sleeps like this, vampires get found real easy.

The Droid posted:I wonder what will be the "overall" focus of the next development arc. Military stuff? Night creature expansions? Probably stuff related to groups moving around the world map, since he worked so much on getting that to work. Taverns and inns finally, maybe. Which in an ideal world would lead into an economy revival..

LCS is probably the best game you can recruit prostitutes with from crack houses in, have them seduce judges, and then kidnap and brainwash them before anyone misses them,(brainwashing minigame is really weird) and fill the entire courtroom with sleeper agent judges so you are free to commit any crime. Also something about freeing the country from evil republic grip, I never get that far. More of just a normal crime squad really.

Really liking the small changes to stuff in Fortress mode, like being able to set priority levels to mining designations, the "Do this now!" button in workshops to force your dwarves to rush important stuff ahead of whatever else you have, having workshop orders tell you what's lacking if you can't make an item.. Someone told me that someone told them that getting your dwarves to use archery stuff is easier but I haven't tested that yet. Also I've got a bunch of travelling adventures in my tavern, "The Spongy Maggot" sharing stories and talking to my dwarves, it's pretty rad. Planning to build the a giant library soon!
