If you're just joining us and you're not too familiar with DF yet, stick to the previous version for now, and welcome.

It's funny that I'm not sure if installing a different os would be easier than figuring out how to use vi or why kate won't let me edit the Dwarf_Fortress executable to change that one goddamn line (/data/mouse/art.png to /data/mouse/art.bmp) well, not so much funny as fffffuuuuuuuuu

3rd for worldgen crash simulator 2015

>Creatures may die from alcohol poisoning

Can't wait for inevitable bugs that will result from this.

4th for gored by a night troll

>elven migrants
Might put them in camps desu

>>124005012
At some point I'm going to have to abandon Windows, you're not making it look terribly tempting I must say.

So world gen doesn't work on medium+ sized maps on Linux, but I want lots of civs (it always hangs on 'placing civs', bug's been reported)

does anyone have a spare map I could use?

>>124005295
Arch is only for that range of autists who are too retarded for windows but not retarded enough for Gentoo, normal people will be fine on virtually anything less crunchy than Arch.

>>124005659
Not him, but I personally find Mediafire pretty hassle free.

>>124005506
designate zone, make into meeting area, hit l to assign location, hit a to create new location, choose inn/tavern

Feels nice.

>>124005917
Usually I give the most important dorfs nicknames and it just works

>>124005824
anything but the default amount of civs crashes in worldgen but the rest is doable

I'm guessing it's too early for anyone to have 80 dwarves yet, right?

>>124005818
I am fine with using default job assignment, but I am afraid of getting large miggers. How do you deal with this? Nicknaming dwarves sounds dumb.

Just the lack of graphics sets is killing me

I can handle myself without therapist if I know what dwarves are what, and I don't even use dfhack

but ascii and CLA (ascii+) are just too much for me

>>124006301
How long until the game generates full length novels you can read?

>>124006152
even when I use the default amount the game freezes

I wish you could stop your dwarves for being all #migrantswelcome.

I can't handle all these shitty fucking soapmakers

>>124006469
>>124006301
We will truly be alive when the game generates full on procedural ascii porn images.

>>124006469
Real-world bots still have trouble writing news articles so probably not any time soon

you stop what you are doing and zoom in on the migrant wave to deal with them as they enter the map

Wanderlust.

Haven't gotten too deep into the update, but does anyone have non dwarf citizens yet? Race wars when?

>>124006624
I just did this, and after finishing 20 new migrants, DF crashes.

What personalities do your adventurers have? I made an antisocial human that only wants to look at art and cause trouble.

so is new version playable or should i just wait for patches, rapist etc. ?

>>124007106
I don't think you'll be able to blame the migrants for this one.

>>124006957
what a gay name for a tileset

>>124007021
I just played adventure mode (as plump helmet man).

>>124007427
It's way more playable than 40.01, but it still crashes a fair bit

>>124007427
It's unplayable and shit, the old version is better stick with it.

>>124007578
>it's unplayable

It's objectively not, for most people.

>>124007374

Currently it just keeps on crashing for me, so instead of wasting time I'll wait for a while.

Reminder

>You can set the maximum number of soldiers allowed to invade in serious invasions with these numbers. This doesn't affect smaller raids or mounts, and ambushers and other special units will also ignore the cap. Set INVADERS to NO above if you don't want invaders -- a cap of zero will be ignored here.

Started playing as a magpie man bard, and subsequently started a travelling troupe with a female elf.

Now we have two different instruments. Sadly, none of them are used in any of the songs available, so I guess I'll have to compose so new dittoes.

Hi.
I've never gotten into this game before but I'm going to try again.
I'm terrible at visualising the ascii stuff but the non-ascii tilesets look equally confusing as fuck so I'm just gonna deal with it.
Wish me luck boyos.

>>124009460
Get the previous version, and good luck.

>>124009819
What the shit? That shouldn't be right, Gnomes have shit alcohol resistance in every myth I have ever seen.

>>124010056
I don't think dancers trip. Partner dances do move around, so even if they are good, they could die.

>>124010071
>>124010167
pretty sure Toady made it like that because gnomes are supposed to drink all your booze

>>124010290
Ah, that makes more sense then. They are a fucking pest and you need to murder them so they don't drink you out of house and home. Fuck those little shits.

>>124014802
Procedural myth generation is confirmed, he's talked about the generator prototype already. Multi-material objects (like the current instruments) will probably be expanded into other item types. He'll finally decide what magic is gonna look like and start getting that going. Probably an expansion of night creatures' roles in worldgen and maybe in fort mode. Start laying the groundwork for the thief role, maybe even further than that. Who knows what else there could be.

>tfw already hitting fps death

How do I designate a location?

>>124015492
Pretty sure Toady stated they would stay in your tavern for a little while after the caravan left

>>124014802
artifacts that tweak numbers on the various stats of the user would be easy, including causing specific thoughts to happen.
artifacts that change how the object is handled is another possibility (such as being on fire continuously or causing ice damage when held or something)

i seriously doubt he'll put in generic "evoke the scepter and send out a fireball" type magic like necromancy currently is, he's repeatedly stated he wants "magical magic"

I can't embark without optimizing the starting dwarves based on their role suitability.

also, my forts are all basically organised into custom professions through DT, it's how i keep track of literally everything, from dwarves on temporary construction jobs, to squads, to actual roles and jobs.

How the fuck do you sort a 20+ migrant wave any other way? do you just mutton up and take the tedium and the time to do it?

>>124017364
There are two towers on the civilized continent, so one adventurer will definitely spend time cleaning those up.
Another one will spend his life exploring the lower continent, climb mountains and write poems about it.

Hoooo boy, this will be great.

For anyone that didn't notice yet: in adventure mode, your skill progress isn't shown as numbers anymore but as graphs.

It's also trivial to make an adventurer that has no needs.

Provide creative, morale, and design support. He doesn't do much real labor for the project, but plays a pivotal role in guiding the toad and keeping him somewhat sane.

>>124017858
You can determine a dwarf's role suitability just by looking at its thoughts and prefs screen. And v-p-l'ing a migrant wave as it enters the map is really easy and almost entirely eliminates the need for a tool like the rapist outside of mass labor reassignments. I still use it when I need to find my architects or put thirty mostly useless dwarves on block production, but otherwise v-p-l is easy and does everything you need.

Serpentmen can inject venom by biting. Also, I don't recall having ever seen jumping spiderman webs, so it's entirely possible they don't make webs anyway.

They do. Jumping spiders leave trails of web behind them as they move to act as anchors, and some even use them as drop-lines to ambush their prey.
Maybe not in DF, idk.

Just to clarify here. "It means exactly that I did in fact install it onto an existing DF install"
Or "it means exactly that I didn't, but instead extracted it into a new folder".
In the latter case it should work. Make sure plump helmets REALLY don't exist, make a new world, check again, and report a new bug.

>>124020842
It means exactly that I didn't, but instead extracted it into a new folder.
Theoretically plump helmets do exist since I can see them in stocks or farm plot menu, they just don't seem to appear in the world.
The other world I genned doesn't have the problem. I guess I could try a new fort in the current one and see if it persists.

Exciting new bugs ahoy!

Hello friends.
I seem to remember this happening in the last update too, but my game crashes when it tries to progress time 2 weeks before letting me set up embark.
Is there a fix for this?

Alright, in theory, if I copy the symptom raws from those of a GCS to a bark scorpion, will the bark scorpion sting now have the same effect as GCS bites?

>>124024810
only solution I have found is mess with world gen settings until it doesn't crash

>>124024021
>Recluse Spider Men
[CREATURE:BROWN_RECLUSE_SPIDER_MAN]
[COPY_TAGS_FROM:SPIDER_BROWN_RECLUSE]
[CV_CONVERT_TAG]
so it copies all tags from the actual creature over, and renames them to spider man, or whatever, then applies the caste tags and shit

so from there, go look at the brown recluse raws,
>Brown recluse spider
[VERMIN_BITE:1:bitten:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:VENOM:LIQUID]
means they can VERMIN bite, and will inject venom

I don't know if that translates into the spider men being able to inject venom with a bite, because at that stage, they have hominoid raws applied so their bite might be a different "class" of bite or sumshit. given that it seems the brown recluse spiders only seem to have a "vermin bite", a spiderman bite might be different.

I am purely speculating here, I know fuck all about the raws, I am hoping someone will correct me if i am wrong.

So, is there a reason why everyone is slaughtering random bards?

>>124024810
generate a different world then try to embark there?

>>124025187
Are they goblins/goblinized?
Did their music stink?

>>124025337

It's usually whenever I perform, sometimes nearby bards will eventually attack or be attacked.

>>124025541
Take notes, try and identify patterns and relationships between the attacks.

What's the best tileset that just makes things square, but doesn't change anything else?

Alright, fuck it. I cannot for the life of me get any animal men attacks to inject venom except for Scorps, and for some reason custom tags don't work on that.

but if you dont mind regenning over and over, its perfectly fine

then again maybe i just have terrible luck

>>124032419
>(*) Performances include stories, poetry, music and dance (you can view activity descriptions from the unit/job list)

>>124032450
Not either of those guys, but just drop your region-x folder into data/saves of the new install directory.
Partially, because saves from as far back as .40.03 will technically run in a .42 install, but you won't have any new items (proc genned instruments and worldgen books/science) or history (histfigs who are performers, poets, philosophers, scientists) or new skills (should be obvious at this point). You may not be able to even teach your citizens the new skills due to how entity_default handles a civ's allowed professions. You will be able to designate taverns/temples, though. I don't know if visitors will actually come or not.
