What is the minimum amount of clothes required to not have negative thoughts? Would it just be shirt/trousers/shoes or something? Can you use dresses or robes in place of both the shirts and the trousers?

Internet Kraken posted:I'm not sure what would cause fungus to not be present in the caverns. I've never seen that before. You could try digging down to the crypt or abyss but but if the top layer is missing fungus I don't see why they wouldn't be as well. I see these mud caverns all the time, I just figured they were another type of cavern biome, kinda like how you get the lake caverns that are almost completely water, and the "desert" caverns with the blood thorns.

A passing parakeet woman just spontaneously burst apart by an unknown force (the combat logs only refer to an "impact") and all the dwarves, animals, and other parakeet people who witnessed the event are "overwhelmed by horror." It was enough to make my carpenter cancel the bed he was working on  So far it looks like creatures may be considerably more emotionally fragile than before. Also the thoughts and preferences pages have tons of new junk

So are all these new materials like the silks and metals randomly generated or what? I've had different things listed in the silk stockpiles in different worlds, and now my forge has a bunch of metals with weird "[adjective] metal" names, like "translucent metal" and "flickering metal," but there aren't reactions for making these at the smelter

In case anyone's interested, the CLA tileset has already been updated. It's basically a fancier ASCII, with smoother symbols, square tiles, a more pleasing color palette, and most important of all, solid colored ground tiles, for if you're like me and staring into that constellation of punctuation marks drives you insane. Check it out, it looks really good, even if you hate ASCII http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=105376.0

Has anyone figured out how soil-layer tree farms work yet? I'm assuming they won't grow to full size in a single z-level space, so do you have to channel out two levels to get them to grow?

The new combat speech is hilarious. It's really great how even when they're in the middle of getting the poo poo kicked out of them, my dwarves have time to monologue on how our time is so brief in this world and death is all around us.

The elf caravans are a lot different, all of their wood is preceded by the word "grown," like "grown oaken cage," which makes me wonder if that's kosher elf wood that's okay to trade back to them? Also, they seem to have access to all the tree fruits that are currently uncollectable in fortress mode.

Gus Hobbleton posted:Not gonna be easy. What you could do is pasture some chickens or whatever in a room and then lock the doors behind them. That way none of the eggs will be collected from that particular nest. Unlock the door when the chicks hatch so you can butcher anything that needs to be butchered, or just leave them there. As far as I know, birds need no care from dwarves and will just survive forever. This is how I do it, you just lock them in there for a couple weeks or months or however long it takes for them to fill up the boxes with eggs. Then you manually forbid the eggs you want to hatch, unlock the doors, and it's business as usual. True, it stops food egg gathering for the duration, but it's still the least labor intensive way to handle the breeding, I think. Birds require no upkeep so you can just keep them locked in there without any worries. Unless you've got something like elk birds, which are grazers, but then you just need to put the room somewhere with grass or fungus.

I haven't done this in a while so I might be remembering it wrong, but I think you have to use the kennel's "tame a small animal job" to tame the vermin, then you can transfer it to a cage or pit it into a room. You might have to be careful though, because I'm pretty sure that cats don't give a gently caress and will still kill your tamed vermin, so keep them out of the spider room.

StrangeAeon posted:Oh military, why do you continue to be the roadbump of my fortresses? I'm sick of making drawbridges and turtling up when Sieges start. Is there a way to make my militia train up faster, without needing a Danger Room? In my experience, the military is like any other dwarven endeavor in that the best solution is to just throw lots of bodies at it. I think people microsperg way too much about getting their military skills up, and getting all the perfect masterwork equipment, only to be miserably disappointed when their elite crack squad gets totally overwhelmed by war alligators or an impossibly tough and lethal beast, and all that effort goes to waste. I've always had the most success just mass conscripting every migrant with any military skill at all, putting them all on non-stop, full-time training, and mass producing armor and weapons, no matter how dumpy their quality. While you may lose a few recruits here and there, it's less of a crushing loss, and eventually your best soldiers will rise to the top anyway. And since soldiers seem to spar more when they have higher skill to begin with, it's really just an issue of getting over that initial hump of skillessness, which is best done through real combat!

Internet Kraken posted:The nature of combat in Dwarf Fortress means you can survive with truly bizarre injuries. I once had a fort where a terrible disease was being passed around that caused the victim's skin to rot and fall off. It didn't cause bleeding though, so despite gradually losing all their skin these dwarves didn't suffer any negative effect from it. They were however constantly spewing miasma from their rotting bodies that pissed off everyone nearby. I thought not having skin caused all your blood to fall out? Isn't that why death by fire always used to cause a "bled to death" notification after melting all the skin off, or did that change at some point in the last few years? Gantolandon posted:This is quite similar to what happens in the real life - quite a lot of feral cats die after walking under a car, getting splashed with windscreen washer leaking out and then trying to clean their furs.

I'm finally playing again for the first time in like 2 years. A werelizard showed up at my fort and killed some passing merchants. Then he transformed back into a human, and I got the notification that he had arrived, and he was listed as friendly in the unit screen. But when a bunch of my dwarves went out to pick up the slain merchants' stuff, they saw him, and immediately chased him down and beat him to death with their bare hands, like some kinda dwarven lynch mob. It's an appropriate response, but I was surprised, because the last time I played, civilians were almost perpetually terrified of anything vaguely threatening, and I think they would have either run away or just ignored him. What's changed that allows civilians to go on the offense like this?

So after I started playing again I lost two forts to werebeasts... Once the infection spreads wide enough, which happens really fast in a crowded fort, it seems so hard to stop it that I just abandoned. Fine, it was kinda my fault for not really setting up defenses early enough. Now on my third attempt and it turns out I got one of my refugees from the last fort in my first migrant wave, so I don't even know how I was supposed to stop that trojan horse. The guy killed two dwarves and fought with one other, who I have to assume is infected, so I guess I just gotta quarantine these two using burrows or something? I was surprised that the original werebeast dwarf doesn't even show up in the justice panel though. I guess the fort just doesn't recognize the dwarf as the same entity? It's been awhile, but doesn't the game have an actual justice procedure for convicting vampires and such? It seems like he could've applied the same system to known and suspected werebeasts to make locking them up more streamlined I also still don't know how I'm gonna deal with future were-refugees. I guess I just gotta quarantine every new migrant wave for a month when they first arrive?
