Forget which post it was but the miniset wasn't one I was trying to clean up, it was one of the 1x1 pixel sets someone made.

So I was playing around with rescaling Myne and figured I'd try to get it to 36x36 and cleaned a bit and then stretch it to 36x54, so I may as well see if it looks fine for you squareloving weirdoes or not.

the update hype is real

I need some help here.

I accidentally broke Adventure Mode with my mod, it doesn't appear on the menu.

How can I fix this? I can upload a picture of what I mean by "it doesn't appear on the menu"

Here is a copy of the mod itself:

https://github.com/Drunkard90/NapoleonicFortressMod

Just started this game. I told my dwarves to build a trade depot, but my dwarf with the architect skill is fishing and won't stop fishing even though I disabled the fishing labor. Why won't they build the trade depot?

That's as good a reason as any to repost this. It's boy, but who the heck can see the difference, anyway?

Also, this happened during a siege, in which the elf boy attacked a human town all by himself. He also managed to kill the majority of the defenders.

I just need to find a way to fix wooden rifles/muskets/pistols/swords and add wooden weaponry for practice.

Unless, of course, anyone is against me removing wooden rifles and sabres.

Smashed open body parts made of cartilage won't heal. Smashed open body parts otherwise heal fine. A smashed open body part is a pulped body part.

your answer was bullshit

The only Human civilization that registers above "Hamlet" is overrun with the undead. Is there an end to them if I kill them or are they going to just keep generating off-screen? Could there be a necromancer hiding in one of the buildings that can be punished for this?

The city is surrounded by hamlets that seem completely unaffected by the undead menace.

Gneiss is a fucking meme that preceeds the internet. In any old European city, the old, fancy "bourgeois" quarter is almost always guaranteed to be full of the same old gneiss blocks. Wherever big rocks are placed as ornaments, they choose fukken gneiss of all rocks available. FUCK THIS MEME

Granite is underrated.

Is it possible to make a race of unkillable dorfs and go on a murder spree on adventure mode?

>>121289761
No. Smashed open body parts has been in the game forever, whereas pulping was just added in .40(although there was a different pulping mechanic in some of the older versions).

They are completely different things.

You misunderstand me. I didn't say that smashed open body parts didn't exist in previous versions. I'm pointing out that pulping causes smashed open body parts.

>>121292723
Wrong. Pulping leaves "mangled" body parts, while "smashed open" dittos are caused by ordinary damage. They are still completely different mechanics in the game.

Also, smashed open only applies to individual tissues, and not body parts. Your head muscles can be smashed apart, or your head could be mangled, and only the latter will kill you.

tfw second fortress ever and doing great. Got things running smoothly a lot quicker and should be able to build a militia fairly quickly. One season in, in mid to late summer, other armored dwarves come out of nowhere and were assmad about something. All 15-20 of them kill all but 4 of my guys and manage to destroy all my animals that were in a small pasture outside at the time.

The fuck did I do wrong? I thought maybe I'd be pissing on Elves for cutting down all those trees but apparently I pissed on some Dwarves. Should I be making a small milita from the get go or was I just unlucky as fuck?

Just going to nitpick a little, unless your depot is practically in the caverns, then you probably don't mean what you think you mean by forgotten beast.
There are some bugs relating to merchants not leaving the depot. Can't really diagnose which (if any) you have without access to your save. I recommend poking around on the bug tracker to see if you can find something that fits your situation.

>>121300854
There are bugs and "bugs" with military, but none of them will prevent your militia from training if you're doing it right. So yes, there's a bug, and yes, you're doing something wrong.

Yep, my bad. A lot of newer players use "forgotten beast" to refer to every uninvited guest, and most players' fort designs make it impossible for a forgotten beast to reach their depot without blazing a bloody trail through most of the rest of their fort, so I assumed you were similarly confused. But that combat report clearly demonstrates that isn't the case.

>>121313518
Well, no spring announcement, so it isn't old age. Has he ever been injured? Could be infection in that case. Is your barracks adjacent to a watersource? Could be he dodged in and drowned (a bug allows dwarves to dodge through walls). I guess you probably would've noticed if that were the case...
Since you're using dfhack, could you put the cursor on his corpse and type 'deathcause' in the dfhack terminal? I'm curious now.

>>121314057

Turns out you were right, he did died because of an infection which is odd since the hospital has been working fine

I do notice sometimes dwarves just go right up to whatever they were doing after being carried to bed when they sustain minor injuries

>>121314747
Mystery solved.
Infections can be recurring problems for nail and cartilage injuries. They lack a healing rate in the raws, so they just get reinfected and never get treated because a new injury is required for a dwarf to seek treatment again. It's an easy fix, though. Go to tissue_templates.txt and add [HEALING_RATE:1000] to the blocks for nail, cartilage, claw and talon.
I suspect that tissues are genned with static properties, so it won't help with any existing nail or cartilage injuries (if I'm right, as my experience suggests), but any new dwarves that enter your map should be able to heal from such wounds.

Is there ever a planned combination of adventure mode and fortress? Where you can start a mass exodus through the mountains to find a new site?

>>121316531
Yes, that is the long term goal in the game, to reduce the boundaries between the two modes more and more until they are only different in timescale at best.

If the find option when picking a site says Deep Soil or Some Soil, how can I define those to z levels?

More or less, how does the game define "Deep" or "Some"?

>>121316531
There's not a plan so much as a vague intention. Toady has expressed his desire to integrate fort mode and adv mode to some degree, possibly even allowing you to take control of histfigs, but whenever it comes up he eventually pivots to the standard "we don't really know what that will look like yet" answer that we get for a lot of discussion of long term dev goals.
>>121317027
Only members of your fort are required to eat or drink. Though, oddly, friendly visitors will bathe (and use your soap to do it) if they get dirty while on site. At least they would in 34.11, I haven't seen it happen in .40.
They will go insane eventually. Including the pack animals.

>>121317543
But wasn't it possible to trap merchants by walling them in and wait for them to die to take their stuff? I remember doing that.

what do you guys think of the guy from /utg/ doing a genocide run of adventure mode?

>>121317359
It's not a very helpful bit of information. If your map is completely flat, little soil usually means 1 or 2 layers, some soil means 3 or 4, and deep soil means 5+. Most maps aren't flat though, so deep soil could just as well refer to a dirt mound on a mountain slope on a mostly rocky map, or little soil could mean same slope is covered by 2z of sand spanning dozens of z levels.

Trapping merchants has always been possible, I don't recall them ever having needs. Well, except breathing. Usually.

>>121318204
Yeah, but I mean they usually died after some time of being trapped. The merchants here won't leave (which is apparently due to the fact that a FB ate one of them) and they won't die. I haven't had any other merchants since they arrived. It's been like 3 or 4 years now.

>>121318431
Try deconstructing your depot (I see you already built another). If that doesn't unstick them, drop a cave in or a flood on them. If those guards are taking down fbs you really don't want them berserking in your fort.

DFhack is stupidly good for making squads, it changes the colours of the names if they are already in one, but it randomly crashes because of the bajillion of other features that I don't give a shit about
also my fort was shit, i was trying to make an outside fort made of clay but then I realised it was the same shit than wood, takes a fuckton of time to build anything. Plus clay is basically mud, the dorfs were making shit buildings

Armok blessed the first dorfs with obsidian anvils that were created from his magma-tears when he saw that they were too stupid to figure out how to face-smash metal into useful forms like he does.

The second dorfs only lived because he decided to inspire some of them to make stone anvils via facebashing... the first dorfs, died, unfortunately, kilourist wide anvil bolides are not survivable, it turns out.

Good question, though it takes mods to make burrowing invaders.

Something sneaking has been spotted, I'd guess it's some form of animal-men civ in your caverns spotting something down there.

>>121347303
It specifically stated ambush. Does that count for thieves as well?

I figured it had to be something else spotting it, so the animal men make sense. Should I expect a cavern if I dig that way?

>>121346927
The gains goblins cometh

>>121347456
There are going to be cavern layers down there, it is inevitable. Depending on how far it is, there's a good chance you'll run into the other layers before you hit the spot you're aiming for anyway. I'd suggest you file the information about the ambush as meta-data and proceed downwards as if you didn't know about it.

I'm not entirely sure about the number of things that can trigger that ambush message, I seem to recall gremlins can trigger a message along those lines.

7KB, 288x288px

>>121351027
I've been pondering modifying Myne a little, after finding the flat UI of Fo4 so visually repellent, I was wondering whether some shading work could be effective in giving it a little depth.

I suspect the simplicity of Myne is it's strength though, I'd hate to go through shading it all only to find it looks distracting and shite.

>>121351218
It's simplicity (absolute lack of shading and aliasing and depth) and abstractness is the sole reason why I find it so good. And while I agree on the Fo4 UI, I personally think the bevel/emboss effect that Bisasam and Guybrush have are absolutely repulsive - I honestly can't think of a single thing that I find worse in terms of DF tilesets.

I didn't think too hard about it, but I believe it comes from the very simple shapes of fonts in general and the abstract tiles like the smiley conflicting with depth indications like the bevel effect.
They _are_ abstact 2D symbols after all. They _have_ no depth. I just get a very conflicting visual impression of that.

If a tileset like phoebus has an image of a cabinet, it's fine if it has shading and aliasing, it's an image of a cabinet. In, for example, myne on the other hand, there is no cabinet. There is an abstract symbol representing a cabinet. And symbols have no depth.


But in the end that's my opinion, and the existence of Bisasam at the very least shows that there are other opinions, so don't let me discourage you from experimenting. Especially because it's not like the "old Myne" will suddenly cease to exist just because you make another version.

>>121351809
I forgot to add, in a way, there is a bit of an uncanny valley going on, when you're in the wrong spot between abstract and pictographic (is that a word? I should use that for the tileset image) tiles, or apply techniques that don't fit at that level of abstractness.

>>121351883
I see exactly what you mean, but personally it's one of those things I'd have to see for myself in game to decide how 'correct' your perspective is.

But yeah, it's horrible having furniture all over the map and levers in your text, it was one of the major things I enjoyed about switching from a graphics pack to a more ANSI tileset.

Well, I sized it up to 36x36 (>>121279506) and specifically kept it flat rather than trying to add emboss or anything, though I did use the unsharp mask to smooth some of the jagged edges that became more apparent at that size.

I suppose it could work with some shading for the larger sizes, but the *grumble* other anon was right, the small scale one looks better flat.

Incidentally, anybody know why you can't make human lords and ladies show up with their own dedicated tiles properly?

Though I do appreciate the tips, I tried removing the spots on the dorf faces but it makes them show up kinda funny with the black backgrounds and I don't know the pro-tools way to get the same effect so I left em. T.T

I have no clue how to draw them flat or beveled or anything, I literally just looked at how the bisasam 24x24 dorfs were set up and tried to draw something with the same feel that looked right to my eye, the military dorfs were easier because I was able to just copy the shading trick on the different shape, I think I kinda lucked into the way the dorfs are aliased when I was trying to erase an extra spot and smoothed it better than I know how to do so I left it as I am terrified to get stuck back in a loop of trying to fix it and fucking it up.

I think you're doing it already anyway.
I'm talking about the card symbols (heart, pica, etc) in the first row. They all have that gradient thing going on, right? I'm saying don't draw it manually, but rather draw them plain white first, then select them and apply an effect (no idea how that works in GIMP) to it. As I said, it looks like you're doing that anyway.


As for the black pixels in the eyes and mouth, you can (and I assume this, as I don't use GIMP) set your eraser and pen to be "hard", that is, the work on a pixel-by-pixel basis, either erasing it fully or leaving it completely. Reduce the size and you can remove every single pixel.

You don't see those in the finished game anyway, as the background is black -- unless your dwarves have a status that gives them a different background, in which case these pixels start to appear as ugly black dots.

Nope. It's a couple tiles north.
The two river branches are on different elevations, though, so I guess you could build your own.

>>121380156
Cool thanks. Embark like this then? Should have enough room for actual digging since I made it 4x4.

>>121379891
I assume you think the top right quadrant of your embark selection contains a waterfall, because there is a 4 next to a 0, right?
Those numbers show the average (however weighted) of all the tiles there. And it's not just river tiles, but surrounding ones, too. So I assume the river doesn't change elevation there, it's just a canyon surrounded by hills that do change elevation.

Generally, the game is programmed so that elevation changes happen in between "middle map tiles" (I don't know what's the correct term, region map?). Every 48 local map tiles is a border you can't embark in between. So you never see them in fortress mode.

Except river junctions.

And you don't have the river junction selected in that image. Move 3 tiles up and you will have a waterfall.

Protip: Isoworld is PERFECT for this. There's a option to display region map borders so you know where you can't embark.

Why is building the basic outline of my fort so slow?

>Why is building the basic outline of my fort so slow?
Because your dwarves suck at digging and you don't have enough of them.
Also because, well, it takes time to dig a lot of tiles.

Napoleonic Mod anon here, made a few changes:

*Humans are now 99% playable as a race
*Dorfs have a few custom ruskie titles for nobility
*Renamed Militia-dwarf to just Militia because why not.
*Added more hats, including top hats, monocles, bowler hats and glasses
*Removed more medieval clothing, added the Corset to the list of clothing (Males might end up using corsets, but I guess that would be amusing to see)
*Changed a few descriptions
*FINALLY Fixed adventure mode completely, you can now go around shooting elves in the face with your rifle and bayonet

I need to do some testing on crafting ammunition and weaponry, but I doubt it won't work. Also add some training weapons and maybe custom drinks (tea).

Learn to use in-game time to describe duration, we've no idea how much of that hour you're spending paused, what your FPS is and so on.

>>121382573
4.
You can also dig a preliminary fort in soil, get a minimal fort up and running, while your workforce digs out your actual fort.

That's what I do. I usually have 2 miners dig out a small hole in the dirt, get all my stuff inside, make some beds and set up food/booze production.
Then I construct or dig out the actual fort, expanding and relocate piece by piece smartly.

So a part of the kitchen, dining hall, a dozen bedrooms and a couple of workshop/stockpile space is dug out with a high priority. Once those are finished, the dwarves move in and the temporary dirt hole becomes the barracks, underground farms, pastures or whatever.
When more stuff is dug out, more migrants will have appeared to fill the bedrooms, build more furniture and expand industries.

Go find a prominent geographic feature (peak, mountain border, river, coast line, arrangement of settlements) you can identify in both DF and isoworld and that's reasonably close to where you want to go. Then go in one direction until you're on the same axis as your goal in DF (count how many region tiles - red borders in isoworld, middle map in DF - you traverse), then do the same in isoworld.
Repeat for the other axis.

4.9, right?

It's armor, but could that still be the case? The danger room and the Hospital beds are flooding with good armor by now. It hurts.

How are your stockpiles looking, you have space for all the tat, bins for it as well?

>>121388608
More than enough space. No bins though. I should probably build some. Thanks for your help, by the way.

>>121389061
A few bins can slow down collection, since dwarves like to take a bin out and gather several items in it at once, rather than the mad rush and organization they used to do.

Try making a custom stockpile that don't allow bins, and will accept any of the items you want picked up, and set it to give to the other relevant stockpiles. This should cause your dwarves to use it as a feeder stockpile to the others, and avoid any bottlenecks with bins. You can also set the other stockpiles not to accept items from anywhere else, to make the process more tightly controlled.

You're welcome, by the way.

Elevation changes can occur anywhere, there are even some parameters in advanced worldgen that can be tweaked to control how often and how intense elevation changes are. Because elevation is one of the determinants for biome borders, you can often see huge elevation changes where biomes change (I routinely see 100z+ changes of elevation when I look for them), often without any water feature at all.

Is this normal?
I have 2 copies of dwarf fortress:

Copy 1 is the normal copy where I play with unmodified raws and such to have a normal gameplay.

Copy 2 is the "cheat copy" of the game, I use it to make mega projects and build mega fortresses. I mostly use it when I feel like just annihilating some shit

Only 2 copies?

I keep the default .dwarffortress version handy for restoring shit I fuck up, then I've got my mod in the current state in the .df folder, then a .dfbackups with shit back to like early may I think, and I'll rename the .df to .df40 prolly when the new version hits.

So I've been playing around more with some ideas I had for goblins. I tweaked the quotation marks some and lowered them in the tile a bit then tried to design the gobbos around them.

My first attempt, well, they came out really elf-like according to the missus, so I tweaked the ears and whatnot, got the fangs, and then figured I'd try to get the kids/dapper version. Now to figure out what to do with the military gobs and adventurer gobs.

Also, to the anon who kept telling me to stop being a dumbass and put a couple contrasting layers in the background to toggle between, I'm a moron, and you are awesome.

I've got em colored but you can snip out the ones you want, they're 36x54 though, so you might lose a lot of detail sizing them down that far, but yeah, here's the current one.

>>121409226
It's CLA and vherid natural

>>121410043
Oh, it's actually curses 24x24 as the graphics font, but with CLA graphical tiles. I guess that's an important distinction.

>>121410043
Thanks, I'll give them a try. (Just the tileset and colours, though; creature graphic sets are a no-no for me)

>>121296815
Dwarf Fortress doesn't thread for multi-core processors. It also doesn't use a particularly large amount of graphics processing (obviously). I've only ever experienced slowdown on fort mode.

You need GHz and cooling. Since DF progresses in 'steps', how fast those steps can go depends on how fast all of the calculations in each step can be processed. This is why Toady set the population cap at 200 and constrained fort plot size.

What the other posters are saying, as I see it, is that you can play DF on almost any reasonably modern (think some GHz with XP or beyond) computer, but don't know how much slowdown or what fort size is acceptable to you.

If it runs too slowly (or too hot), try embarking with a smaller plot or smaller pop cap for your fort. Usually, if it bogs down, I just turn my unskilled mooks into axedwarves and raid the caverns until half of them die. Speeds right back up.

its probably because you built a ramp going only one way.

After DFing for years on the standard tileset, is it worth using a modded one? If so, which one?

Also, went through the Bay12 FotF and can't find the predicted date for the next release. I'm assuming with all of the RAW changes, we'll have to start our worlds over.

prospect only shows stone layers, the metal ores are contained within those layers. look it up on df wiki

Somehow I managed to gen a world with 8 selectable dorf civs, of which one is at war with the elves, one is at war with the gobbos, and one is at war with the humies.

Most of the dorf civs are pretty large too. I wonder how they became king benis of worldgen.

Autolabor is nice. It's annoying when you want only a select few dwarfs to specialize in sometimes and you can't change their labors when its on. You can use autolabor [PROFESSION] number(min number of dwarves) number(max number of dwarves) number(talent pool to choose from)
So autolabor FORGE_WEAPON 1 2 2
Sets a minum of 1 dwarf to forging weapons labor, 2 maximum, out of a talent pool of 2. So I don't get idiots making shitty weapons out of my good steel. You can do this with all labors, you can see a list with autolabor list. It's extremely nice but you lose some intimacy with your dwarves in the beginning i guess. I have alot of dwarves with several skills. A fisher who is also a miner, etc. But that's just from my poor management. Actually glad the fisher was a miner though, a werechameleon attacked him and he slayed the beast with his steel pickaxe
