>>120843731
Yeah, I know smooth rock walls can't be climbed, and none of the zombies I have can fly. I was thinking more about the bit where a dwarf removes the zombie from the cage, and drags it to the pit. Can the zombies resist? Can seeing/touching a zombie cause a dwarf to panic, canceling the job and releasing the target?
Building the cage and opening it with a switch is safe, but pitting the things would be a lot more convenient, if I can do it without dying.

There was a thing early in .40 where creatures being pitted would be freed, sometimes even when the cage was right next to the pit. I call it a thing and not a bug because it's unclear whether this is intended behavior or not. I haven't seen any changelogs that indicate it was ever addressed. I advise you exercise caution.

cinnabar -> make cinnabar powder -> make vermillion dye
live cochineal (vermin) -> extract carmine dye
live kermes (vermin) -> extract crimson dye
live murex (uw vermin) -> extract murex (purple) dye
live pen shells (uw vermin) -> extract byssus thread -> spin byssus cloth (sea silk)

I'm sure I'll run into plenty of problems with stockpiling the products or having to create new reactions just for the appropriate containers but all of these are possible, right?

>>120854541
Sounds fine to me. There's already a mod that includes cochineal, so you may want to see how it was done there. I don't recall which it was, maybe genesis? Also, since DF is 16 color having vermillion, carmine and crimson may be redundant. Why not just make it red?

Show me some good first level dig out designs. My forts are always cookie cutter

>>120854541
I think so, yes. There are a couple (pointless) vanilla reactions utilizing vermin creatures, so that should work, and I think the reaction framework supports whatever containers you'll need for that stuff.
One thing you'll have to consider is that there isn't a way to catch a specific animal, so getting your callused dwarven hands those live murexes (murex?) might be a huge hassle.

>>120855136
Didn't notice cochineal in existing mods, but I haven't checked reactions too deeply before.
>Also, since DF is 16 color having vermillion, carmine and crimson may be redundant. Why not just make it red?
It's really just for flavor and making it possible to distinguish sources.

>>120855484
>and I think the reaction framework supports whatever containers you'll need for that stuff
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to make a specific "extract powder to bag" reaction for vermin dyes, since I believe the default


I'll also try to figure out if lac bug colonies are possible for a lacquerware industry, as a type of wax, roughly following this model:
lac bug colony -> get "honeycomb" sticklac -> press for lacquer -> craft lacquerware

>>120856419
*since I believe the default animal and fish dissection jobs use containers appropriate for powders, but I don't know yet if the dyeing reaction will recognize powders that aren't in bags. Hopefully I can edit this too.

When do you start getting invasion? I have 2m created wealth, 100k imported, 50k exported, and a population of 104 and I haven't seen anything remotely threatening since I had a population of like 20.

>>120860160
Did the goblins make it through world gen? They might have a really low population or something if they got really unlucky.

>>120860160
Threadly reminder to always check local civs(press tab 1-3 times at the site selection screen) before embarking. If the list doesn't include goblins or a tower, then you're in for some boring times.

>>120861592

update when

If I'm getting slowly increasingly numbers of thiefs being found in my land, does that mean siege soon? It's unsettling. First one appears. They run off map, a couple seasons later two appear, run off. Just recently there was 3 and they ran off.
Managed to kill a wereweasel with 1 casualty.

What's even the point of wood blocks?

>>120874917
Yup. iirc, you get sieged harder if the thieves manage to steal anything.

Does the baron replace the mayor? I want to make my mayor the baron but I don't want him to be the mayor and baron.

Kobolds will only invade if they successfully steal things repeatedly, and even then it's an ambush, not a siege. The most you can expect is a 10-bold squad or two who will fold like paper bags when they run into a war dog. Despite what >>120875057 says, the number or success of thieves is entirely unrelated being sieged. Goblins and kobolds are not related entities.

How many civs? You might've just gotten an unlucky roll on gods of death if there aren't many dwarven civs. You'll need at least 1 to give out a slab of life and death. If any of your dwarven civs does have a god of death then you might get a tower if you let world gen longer. Also, it may be of interest to know that giving goblins a max age lets them become necromancers as well. You can also remove [MULTIPLE_LITTERS_RARE] to keep their population from declining too much.

>So, yeah, we had planned to break the tavern stuff up and get two reasonably short releases in. Then we did the normal thing and this release ended up not quite as short, and then we started feeling a little uncomfortable continuing on in the same vein for too long. And getting a bit over-excited about the myth stuff as we played around with the generator side project. Coupled with the gambling vs economy+justice problem, we are leaning toward the artifact release now after this. I still really like the random games and recipe ideas though. They may find side generators of their own lighting a fire under them before long.

>>120889924
75 Civs, there were just no humans at all, usually this world-gen craps out tons of towers and it isn't uncommon for elves to get wiped out right away, never seen one where the elves lived and humans didn't.

Just watched Bone Tomahawk. I'd feel no remorse now if I committed genocide on some troglodytes.

Why would I add 10 spears to a upright spike trap?

Elves can definitely become necromancers in worldgen, just not in play. It has more to do with elven atheism than elven immortality, the rarity of necros.

They can't unless you mod elves to have a max age. Creatures can only become necros after becoming obsessed with their own mortality, and immortal creatures are obviously exempt from that.

It's somewhat different from 34.11 but still overall similar and certainly just as unfinished and buggy.

Their faction is hostile to your faction, which means that the antmen CAN attack, but they currently have some capacity for individual decisionmaking. I guess they just don't care about your corpse hauler right now, or maybe they're too afraid of him, I don't know. A lot of possible reasons.

Depends on when they happen.
I don't know what his problem is, but 11 history rejects would be seriously annoying.

The elven ambushes as well as my work on the meeting hall and dwellings have delayed my work on the king's bust.(although, judging by open-legends, we might not have a king soon)

We're back at work now, anyway. Since no more burnt clay is needed for the bust, except for the eyebrows, I currently have no problem developing the rest of the city(for the walls of which I only use clay bricks) and continuing work on the bust at the same time.

As you can see, the upper levels of the canal is now drained, and before I fill it back up, I'll construct a pump stack providing the bust with water, straight from the canal. I might also cover the entire floor of the canal with constructed floors, since saplings sticking up from the water ruins the visual mpression.

So I decided to play adventure mode recently, been enjoying walking around cutting off fingers and biting necks, but why does it take so long to actually kill someone? All I can seem to do is mortally wound someone, they fall over, and run away.

New shitty artifact coming through. Also a daily reminder that troglodytes are bros.

This particular trog became an enemy of almost every civ in the world, ambushing and killing several dorves, humans and goblins during his lifetime. This particular elf, who was also a war veteran with nine human and dorf kills to her name, actually confronted the troglodyte. As you can see, she lost, and the the troglodyte himself died of old age thirty years later, still undefeated.

kobolds have [UTTERANCES] which makes them impossible to talk to, and will always be hostile because of it.

>>120958612
That's not what makes them hostile, it's the thief tag. For the same reason keamen and gray langurmen will probably not be eligible for fort citizenship. All animalmen have [UTTERANCES].

>>120958612
>which makes them impossible to talk to
Not true. They are impossible to talk to because they lack the [CAN_SPEAK]. It's true that utterances makes their civs naturally hostile to other civs, but I still see the occational kobold immigrant in human cities, suggesting that they might be able to immigrate into your fort in the upcoming release.

>>120947242
There are two or three main ways to kill something and they mostly take a while or need good skill and luck to pull off.

- Destroy or at least damage the brain (Piercing or crushing the skull) or removing the head (Slashing/edge damage versus the head or neck)
- Suffocation, most likely caused by you damaging the lungs or paralyzing them with nerve damage. Strangling the throat will also do this as well as drowning, but good luck trying to drag somebody or something into the water with you.
- Loss of blood through open wounds caused by you ideally aiming for the head or upper body, or at least hitting whatever body parts you can.

You can have your fun biting off toes or whatever, but at the end of the day if you're looking for lethality, you need to aim for the bigger targets. Otherwise the guy whose nose and ears you mangled is just going to live to fight another day.

Some kinds of animal people can talk perfectly normally, the [UTTERANCES] tag changes the language the creature speaks into gibberish.

If a civ has utterances any wars it starts will never end as a peace treaty cannot be negotiated. Kobolds avoid this by being [SKULKING] and thus technically not being able to properly be at war.

>>120959324
Didn't mean to attach that pic but oh well.

>>120959324
Utterances does two things, namely 1) Give them cute names, and 2) Makes them hostile, not as individuals, but as a civ.

Just add the [CAN_SPEAK] and you'll see that the kobolds in adventure mode start speaking normally, even with the [UTTERANCES].

In worldgen? They are not.

It's funny how you just go and assume that immortality and consciousness of ones immortality goes hand in hand. In DF, they clearly don't. Dreams of immortailty are not exclusive to ephemeral creatures.

I have never seen a necro-treefucker. I've never seen an elvish tower, I've never seen a mention of an elf necro, and since the other anon helped figure out why I was getting so many towers, I've probably generated more towers in the last dozen or so worlds than most players have ever seen.

Well, it releases a couple hundred new mythological creatures into the world, instantly shifting it back to the Age of Myth if you've managed to kill enough things to switch out.
They can theoretically wander around the world map, but I don't think they interfere with future fortresses much. They're not attached to any of the groups you're normally at war with, so they don't have any incentive to come fuck with you.

So I'm still pretty new to this game how huge of a difference in the world do you get in different world gens? Should I generate a new world every time I start a new game or should I just stick with my old world?

>>120967151
The whole fun of DF comes from sticking with one world. Getting dwarves from your old forts as migrants in your new one, meeting old adventurers, etc.

>>120967151
I always make a new world, since I'm super picky about where I embark and worldgen is fun in and of itself.

>>120967352
I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, but I've literally never seen that opinion expressed before.

>>120967963
It's not like you need to play that way to enjoy the game or anything. But I think that's one of the very prominent things that sets DF apart from other games. As such it's one of its strengths, and I think never experiencing it is kind of missing out on a central thing of DF.

>I've literally never seen that opinion expressed before
I've seen Toady mention it specifically as goal he's working towards in some interviews.

It's not very well fleshed out yet, although world activation certainly improved things quite a lot. And with what it will eventually be, I can't imagine to switch worlds a whole lot.

Ideally, you could set goals for yourself that even make it necessary to play several forts and adventurers in the same world. Topple a kingdom; build a bridge to a remote island to open up a new trade route; winning a war. And so on.


On a side note, there are hundreds of thousands of embark locations in _each_ world, and creating a new world to find a nice spot seems to be just as difficult as finding a second good spot in the same world.

>>120964316
>>120965568
Do you have a source for that? Because I've never seen it happen in any of my games, and I don't think it's supposed to happen.

I usually embark near volcanos, which both significantly limits my options while making them easier to identify.

>>120969901
Considered generating worlds with a lot more volcanoes? I'm pretty sure there are already worlds somewhere that are made like that. I don't know all the respective forum threads though.

>>120970225
He could easily use advanced world gen to just choose how many volcanoes he wants.

>>120969302
>requires no sustenance

Weren't the [NO_EAT] and [NO_DRINK] tags added to goblins in an earlier version because they would die too quickly in world gen otherwise?

>>120969302
Gobbos only build the small towers by themselves, though. The huge structures that form the "fortresses" are underworld spires, built through the cooperation of deities and demons.

Still saved your pic, though.

>>120970532
They're still pretty large, relatively speaking. There isn't anything that big built by other civilizations except for the towers around a castle in a town.

>>120970823
True.

And the spires themselves are larger than everything else in the game, save for the vaults, which are about equally large.

I wonder if the toad will ever make the keeps in the cities more monumental. I'd love to see a huge castle on the same scale as a spire, shooting up from a city. More variety among normal buildings would also be fun: Multi-level buildings with balconies, roof hatches and windows are just some examples of cool shit that could be done with the things that are already in the game.

>>120971376
>toady makes city generation more in depth
>you can actually parkour in adventure mode now

I've been waiting for this.

>>120970438
Yeah, but afterwards Toady decided to leave them in rather than give goblins agriculture. The current behaviour is "canon", far as I know.

>>120971550
Exactly.

The cities are already kinda parkourable, due to the differences in level terrain-wise, but it could become so much better.

Also, imagine an ebin chase scene that escalates into a chase/battle on the rooftops/balconies, and is then brought into one of the houses through an open window, household items being used as makeshift weapons. The combatants the tumble over the edge, and land on a moving carriage(when multitile vehicles are added into adventure mode), where it continues shortly before they are thrown off, and continue the rumble in some back alley.

Why can't I make or embark with masks even though I've added
[HELM:ITEM_HELM_MASK:UNCOMMON]
To entity_default for dwarves?
Are UNCOMMON and RARE items actually off limits completely?
I can use bows and arrows just fine.

>>120972484
Because your civ must first chose the desired items as part of its "national uniform" at the start of worldgen. Since you chose "uncommon", the civ was very unlikely to use it.

I've been trying to inform about ths in the general for quite a while, and I wish someone added it to the wiki.

>>120972484
Change uncommon to forced. It doesn't make masks uncommon in every dwarven civ, it makes it so that it is uncommon for any dwarven civ to make masks at all. Forced means that civs of that entity will always be able to produce a particular item.

>>120972772

Where in the raw files can I edit clothing to stop decay?

There was that marksdwarf thing with jumping down from towers to melee the enemy.
Did anybody come up with a method to solve it? I am thinking about building a layer of fortification around the bottom of the tower so maybe the dwarves would think their path is blocked by it. How far could a dwarf jump horizontally? 1 tile?

>>120964225
Nope. Toady was discussing in one of his old talks about what, if anything, should be done -- whether it should be a full blown demonic invasion of the world, whether they should just fight to the death until one remains in charge of the site, or whatever.

Well I'm going to retire this fort soon, after making a fat pile of steel gear for my next adventurer, since an important dorf died retardedly (he chased after and cornered a giant cave tiger and I couldn't get him to back off), there's no candy and the evil glacier does nothing. But most importantly, my Engraver is a dick

I had him detail the tomb, and the only events he details are A: my first expedition leader getting demoted and looking sad etc., and the guy who is being entombed being killed by the tiger. How fucking humiliating.

>>120978383
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Armor_token

The decay of clothing is tied to them having an armorlevel of 0, which is required for civilians to automatically gather and equip them as well. If you want everybody to wear stuff that won't decay you'll have to draft your entire populace into the militia and give them equipment with an armorlevel of at least 1.

>>120981683
What about leather? They automatically wear that and it decays, though the raws list it at ARMOREVEL 1.

I came out of travel mode on that wall btw, I think the broken keep wall is what did it.

>>120996595
My personal tip for building on bodies of water that freeze in the winter is to build up a support column from under the water during the winter, and then build out some bridges and their own support columns afterward.

Obviously, if you just build a structure on the water in the winter it'll just collapse in the warmer months. Working your way up from the underground gives you a sturdy support column and access to the underground simultaneously.

Also, even if it's not entirely necessary to do a lot of support columns for bridges, it does allow you to build additional structures between your main column and the shore.

This reminds me that I need to try building a Mother Base on a lake or an ocean some time.

i know theres a basic one in the PDF for terrain and domesticated animals but is there one for common creatures you encounter like carp goblins and such?

>>121026110
Unless there's something I don't know about that's special about the king, you should still be able to establish at least a token military, even if it's nothing but wrestlers. By the way, make sure you can build a trade depot or else you won't ever be able to acquire a pick.

You don't even need this list. Just loo[k] at them, you'll learn soon enough.
It's usually the first letter of the name, colored like the actual creature.
Once you remember the most common animals, you'll have no problems guessing.

Or you just use a graphic set.

What poppycock! They've got a wagon, and a couple of animals and the clothes on their backs. There are even plants and trees on their site for them to utilize while getting civilization back on its feet. These are DWARVES, not kobolds! It may require some rough living for a while, but if they can't rebuild the Distant Sack with that then it deserved to wither and they deserve to be forgotten.

Yea. This might be the first time I'm glad I have a vampire in my fort. As long as he's there I have a realistic chance of rebuilding my fortress. In other news, there's a troll standing in one of my bedrooms and he hasn't moved in like a year or so. I'm kinda scared.

>>121028921
That's awesome. Any idea there was a vampire in your midsts before now?

>>121029251
No, the first time I noticed that a vampire was among my dwarves was here >>121028274 but I had other shit to worry about at that time and kinda forgot about it. I should have just let him take care of the Forgotten Beast alone instead of letting all of my new migrants getting slaughtered

But I am glad to announce that things are in order now. Lucked out, got a Miner in the first wave. Not a year is gone by and we already have magma forges set up. Found huge magnetite deposits. So far no casualties.

I will rebuild my civ.

Question regarding attributes, how far do they go? Is it possible to make a creature the size of a human but with the strength of let's say, a bronze colossus? Or does the strength of a bronze colossus come from its enormous size/weight?

>>121032791
If they think your site is too deadly they might decide not to come. Just produce a lot, sell a lot and you might see some again.

If you pull through this slump, you should really consider making that vampire head of the military.

Generally speaking, there's a ratio of how high you can train an attribute that is based on what your native, "birth" score of that attribute is.

While I will always prefer the wealthy (default) embark, this is a good point -- especially with the modern state of trees, you can probably survive a 0 dorfbuck embark.

If he was the last dorf standing I'd have just used mode set to possess him and fight it out myself.

You can kill them all in adventure mode if it bothers you. You'll also have to kill their descendants, so it might be helpful to check legends mode first and write yourself a deathlist.

How are "dreams of seeing the great natural places in the world realized"? By visiting certain map features, like volcanos, rivers and mountain peaks?

>>120905586
I.....did the dorf engrave an image of encrusted gems into the already gem'd up GOLDEN toy axe? Fucker loves his gems.

>>121036517
>>121036972
The only wooden weapons I'd think there'd be much point in making are one wooden axe for cutting trees and possibly some wooden crossbows and bolts. This is assuming that you actually can fell trees with a wooden axe, if not then the logs from the wagon need to be conserved for making a depot out of so that a pick or some metal and an anvil can be obtained from traders, assuming there's no exceedingly convenient migrant miner who happens to wander into your fort. In that case you'll definitely be wanting to use either bone crossbows and bone bolts or just wrestlers if you have to.

Back in March 2010, just before 40d was superseded, I played several 0 dorfbuck embark games on a sinister freshwater marsh and had the best time I've ever had in DF. I say several because it took me a while to figure out how to get any of them to survive long enough to acquire a pick while all those wild animals (the least problematic of which was actually the alligators, since they were relatively passive) kept going after them. But eventually, a year and a half after the third or fourth group of seven dwarves was exiled to the sinister marsh, a punishment until then thought to be more severe than hammering, for no dwarf had yet survived, the dwarven civilization which had rejected them brought a pick to the group of now only three dwarves. By that time they were hardened survivalists, armed with turtle bone crossbows and harpy and beak dog bone bolts and armor and beak dog leather shields. The goods they offered in trade for the most vital implement of dwarfdom: the carved skulls of the many fierce beasts which had found out that there were no elves stranded in that marsh. Those three surviving dwarves had EARNED their chance to strike the earth.

>>121044342
Its nice that, iirc, all the dirty goblins in a dwarf civ are historical figures right? So it si in fact possible to kill them all.

I always found it chilling to see derfs get replaced in their own homes by goblins.

>>121044736
Can't be realized, I think.

>>121045776
Yeah, the wooden axe.

Honestly that sounds like a fun time. I don't think I'll go to the extent of 0 points, but it may be fun to do a surface start.

>>121046801
A crippled militiadorf can use it as a misc weapon. Since those utilise the weapon's weight, lead is a very good material.

Because humans don't have anything else. We got the short end of the fantasy stick.

>Generally faster at learning and breeding

>Adaptable to any environment.

Humanity is the perfect race created to seize the world from all other races. For every other race was merely a trial by the gods to test each aspect of the world, the dwarves embody the earth, they embody strength and metal, they embody loyalty and sacrifice. The elves embody beauty, grace, and art, they embody the changing of seasons and the natural realm of nourishment and disaster. Goblins embody greed, anger, and conquest as well as the drive to subjugate and rule and steal from all other races.

But humanity has inherited all of these traits and exists as the final product of the gods ultimate ambitions.

>>121049053
Yeah, but dorfs are cool

>>120956626
>humans
>short end of the fantasy stick

Do you mean strictly in general? Cuz in most editions of D&D, humans are the master race (especially 5e, nothing comes close except for a few schticky builds), and in DF, human large size means they get more damage and take less damage than any other normal race, can win basically any fight easily (knockdown+stun+prone as a rider for attacks, keep in mind prone foes suffer from double force calculations on hits), almost as good variety of craftables as derfs, and some of the best weapons around, like the pike, two handed sword, and halberd.

Goblins can MAKE some of the aforementioned weapons, but they exist solely to be loot for human adventurers, since they suffer massive size penalties with them.

Humans rock in D&D and DF.

>>121047919
I like to see my artifacts used. Weapons, armor and furniture are all great. Goblets and other clutter, not so much.
Maybe next version dwarven children will actually play with those legendary artifact toys, but for now, they're just bin filler.
