I have not played this since like 2012 but am going to right after work. I painted a gigantic mural of one of my best forts back in the day … feels like a lifetime ago!

drat all these stories are incredible lol. I picked right back up from 10 years ago pretty easily! Tarn and team really did a fantastic job here, just incredible really…. I mean I totally forgot to make dinner until like 9pm wtf. I’m going to miss therapist when I hit like 25 dwarfs I imagine. I can’t wait to gently caress with minecarts and poo poo!

Strange moods still require something very specific that’s been in my fort like yak leather won’t do it has to be goat leather or whatever right?

NyetscapeNavigator posted:I have some dwarfs complaining about a cave in after felling a tree. I'm guessing that means the tree landed on them? In my tutorial fort I cut down a tree that crashed through two z levels (first level was soil/farm/clay whatever) and killed my manager while he was sitting at his office chair! I've got 130+ dwarves now but will always have that one tile of floor that I patched up on the ground z-level that the tree crashed through haha

How in the world do I put a captured goblin on to a retractable bridge that I'm eventually going to drop down in to a huge pit? When I try to build a new cage and then selecting the cage it always says building space already occupied.

I’m in year 5 of my fort and we’ve made it through fire breathing mega beasts that burned down the entire map (except my moat protected fort!), giants of every kind, siege after siege, etc but the biggest problem is that I have 197 dwarves - by far the most I’ve ever had in any fort and 49 drinks left. I could not figure out why no one was planting anything since my stocks show plenty of seeds and i always set a stock pile for seeds only. Turns out my barrel of seeds was in a bag in another stock pile way deep down in my fort.  I hope we can make it out of this!

The Demilich posted:My fortress keeps dehydrating to death. Did you have a well? I had three stills going at once and still couldn’t keep up with need. It turned out my seeds were in a barrel inside a bag and I guess they’d been storing them there but not taking them out so my farms weren’t really going. I’m also moving my farming like 10 levels deep because it’s already muddy from an unfortunate flood involving me switching the wrong lever. I guess the clay or whatever soil sucks now because it’s listed as “bad” and I’ve never fertilized.

Demiurge4 posted:The cavern floors are named something like “dense fungus” and are 5x more productive as farmland than muddy floor tiles. Check your farms, in the bottom left it’ll say if it’s poor soil quality. Perfect! Thanks man. I’m like 30 levels deep and still haven’t found the caverns. I’m going to close off my drawbridge and create a underground airtight entrance/exit trapped to hell and build it wide enough for traders. Going to put some retractable bridges in there as well so I can watch whatever I don’t want coming in fall 30 z levels if they aren’t welcome. Surely nothing will go wrong! mst4k fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Dec 12, 2022 |

What’s my best bet on getting bodies out of a 3 tile wide river connected moat? Pump water out and build a dam? Wait for it to freeze? I engraved slabs for the dudes that died but their bodies being “found” but in deep water but not buried has never stopped them from haunting me before. It was a rough year for my fort. I bungled some sieges and I’m making a new entrance that will hopefully allow for us to fight on better … umm.. ground. I did go from 49 alcohol with 197 dwarfs to 1000+ alcohol with 202 dwarfs though! And we have quires and scrolls in the library! Enjoy your stay at the bumblebee inn!

I really love the manager screen with conditions and all that I but I have so many I wish I could organize in to tabs or something! I’ve been setting milking and shearing to seasonal checks with high amounts to be made and it works great. I built a channel underneath my moat to get some bodies out .. we will not be fighting near the moat again damnnnnn!!!!! mst4k fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Dec 13, 2022 |

I have a new main entrance that has a double bridge so I can make goblins who want *MY* artifacts go through a hell labyrinth of glass discs, weapon traps, pressure plates that open bridges to the pits (only 10 levels deep so I have repeater spike traps like the old danger rooms to finish them off!), and forced spilts so I only have to face a few at a time! I’m probably about to go to war with the elves soon because I love cutting down trees. This should work! I finally found the caverns 50 levels deep in my fort on year *7*. I need to find magma pronto because I’m running out of easy coal. Since I’m on year 7 the engravings and statues have cool descriptions of interesting things like slaughtering a yak, making artifacts, killing goblins/etc, etc. I’ve literally not stopped playing this game (except for work….) or thinking about it since it came out on steam. Can’t believe FPS is keeping up because Sackspots is a busy rear end place of 198 dwarves moving poo poo all over the place. After I find magma and assuming I live I’m setting up minecarts. Ahh this game rules!

IcePhoenix posted:wait do the stockpiles need to actually be inside the dining hall/tavern for people to get stuff from it or is it ok for it to be next to the hall I have a dining hall with a huge food stockpile across the hall that literally nobody uses and they actually seem to go out of their way not to use it, even eating in my library two floors down and a crazy full tavern with a drink stockpile inside it so maybe the stockpile has to be inside??

Oh man I put so much work in to my gigantic grand dining hall .. it was one of the first big things I did. I swear dining halls used to be both assigned to individuals and “for everyone else”. I’ve been wondering the entire game why nobody really used it. Thanks guys.

Nancy posted:Apparently when digging channels through a light aquifer in Winter, leaking water can cause ramp squares to flash freeze into an ice wall. If a dwarf happens to be standing there, they also flash freeze. This happened to me as well when I was expanding my moat and the top two z levels will always be an embarrassing reminder of a few failed attempts to get my legendary miners bones out of the moat so we could bury him. Moats are a lot of trouble!

My dwarfs are taking seeds out of barrels without any issue. The only problem I've had is barrels of seeds getting stored in other things (a bag for instance) but I just disallowed seeds on all my other stockpiles and it worked itself out.

The elves will not sell me wood and reject it if I try and buy it from them even if I specifically trade like, an awesome steel breastplate (do they hate those as well?). I've almost cleared every goblin settlement within 2 days travel time of my fortress so time to expand even further in to the caverns and write more books about breathing and pregnancy (to be clear, these are completely different subjects to my scholars)

StarkRavingMad posted:Magma successfully moved from level -118 to level 34. That took awhile, it was more of a "let's see if I can actually do this" project then any real need for magma smelters at this point, but it was a good learning experience. Nice! What material did you end up using for the pumps?

Some dwarf threw a tantrum for some reason and perhaps became the first vampire in the world?   I probably want to expel this guy right? He's just going to mysteriously start killing my residents right? My fort just became the civilization capital and I have 233 residents, I'm making all kinds of stuff down in the caverns and building a massive pump stack / power plant (ty starkravingmad for posting your projects) and a minecart circuit that goes like 60 z levels up and down.

In 12 very long years I've only had four or five? I guess I picked a happy biome... uhh 2 weeks ago or whenever. The biggest problem I have is that I have so much going on! Building minecart paths, powerplants, a gigantic magma pump stack, getting royal throne rooms up to the proper standard (jfc), etc. Barons and such are constantly coming and going and the elves think they can limit how many trees I can chop down, gently caress off, I have a lot going on over here! e: I have 40+ beak dogs tied up all over the map
