Give me ideas for dwarf fort merchandise you would buy - I'm getting into wood carving tiny stuff & wanna sell keychain thingies and such online.

>>137244205
It's obviously ornamental, you'll have to find a nice spot to build the classiest forge you can for your most pretentious smith.

Do you think DF will reach version 1.0 in our lifetime?

>>137244704
No.

But I'm grateful for whatever we get, and hopeful for the future regardless.

I've always felt that hordes of dogs are just a defensive measure, to buy time for your actual killing units to do the job without interference.

That's why I always try to breed hordes of something larger, just so they can do that job more effectively.

At least the next guy to get strange mood got his thing finished. Amethyst animal trap, encircled with bands of single cut amethysts, menacing spikes of smoky quartz, and image of forgotten beast in rosy quartz.

Too bad he was possessed, so no skill up from that.

Also, my ore situation is just woeful. Tons of tetrahedrite and gold, but I have failed to find anything outside of that. At least I get some silver hammers done.
So few layers to work with, since glaciers work weird.

But seriously, putting out a call for folks who have embarked on a volcano recently: I have encountered a variety of exposed and filled volcano tubes like the one in the picture here, but in hundreds of different sites across dozens of worlds specifically tuned to try and make this happen, I have yet to see an exposed and intact south-facing volcano tube.

This is an extreme example of a west-facing tube, based on embarkable tiles adjacent the volcano.

Anybody seen a south or even sheer east-facing tube like this?

>>137263335
substantial

Their base stats influence their cap as well I think.

>>137260657
>for some reason they prefer platinum
Their selection method goes
a) preferred material
b) closest
c) most recently created
In cases where they want a preferred material, that's the only material they'll use for that portion. Dwarves with an available preferred material don't always (or even often) want it. If they don't need a preferred material, then they just grab whatever is closest. If multiple valid items are closest, like in a smelter or trade depot or whatever, then the one at the bottom of the list (most recently created) is the one they take.
The one exception to all of this is adamantine. After you mine adamantine, every metalworker mood will demand it as the base material.

>>137272745
Different guy but what's usually responsible for random crashes? It feels like the game implodes 70% of the time whenever it tries to save. This is like the fourth time I've had to build a forge room.

>>137273714
In personal experience, futzing around with the game and/or window while it's chugging will kill it - on a Windows OS, that is.
While it's saving, it needs to be left alone to work. Clicking around, shaking the window, pressing keys? All that shit makes Windows freak out that commands aren't going through, then it slaps DF to try and get it to respond, and the whole thing breaks.

You may also want to see if your RAM isn't almost full when trying to save, because a lot of data has to get moved around to make a save.

>>137273714
With DFhack, TWBT, etc in use, it's ~95% one of those two.
With neither enabled, I haven't had a single crash since the tree-construction-touching bug has been fixed.

Though for crashing while saving - I have no idea. Sounds like your PC is too weak.

>implying you will always only play high fantasy myth setting

Anyway, I hope it will change the way people play the game a bit. Maybe people will stick to one world more consistently instead of generating a new one after each fucking fortress for some inexplainable reason.

It gives each "generated story" a lot more weight if there's more context.

One race conquering the entire world except for one outpost of another race becomes a lot more interesting if it's not just the same necromancer/goblin/demon zerg rush killing everyone eventually, but if the races have a mythological reason for their actions.

You used to be able to engrave and construct floors, so you could have coloured engravings.

Also, that was my first fortress that lasted more than a couple of years, so you'll find plenty to nitpick about it.

This is the floor below that one, you ever remember to put the underfloor heating into your forts?

>>137282501
>instead of generating a new one after each fucking fortress for some inexplainable reason.
Before world activation, I used to play many adventurers and forts in the same world.

As of the world activation, it feels like the game world becomes weirder and less stable the longer you play.

Also, the slow world gen makes it harder to generate an interesting world. In 0.34 you could just pick the standard option and the result would always be enjoyable. In 0.40 and 0.42, I feel like I have to gen several worlds before I find an interesting one. Also, most of the cities now seem to be either too small to offer any enjoyment(many cities only consist of a warehouse, a keep, a temple and a market), or too big for my computer to handle.

Did we ever get access to the video of Toady's GDC talk?

Kinda wish for goblin invasion or megabeast. I got one forgotten beast, but it is on wrong cavern layer and is made out of filth.

Also, what should I do with my adamantite first? I was thinking of making a shortsword and spear or two, then using it rest for armouring up.
Any tips on that? I think I probably sit about potential of 60 adamantite wafers.

Actually, I once had a former adventurer lead a goblin army that laid siege to my fort. She didn't actually kill anyone, but she managed to disarm my commander, which subsequently lead to him getting cut down by one of the goblins.

I wish there was an option to have DF dorf names show up instead of the random names on the posts.

The search functions in most menus is fantastic, and ought to be vanilla, and stable cursor too. They're my most beloved quality of life improvements. The clean command is great for saving fps as your fort accumulates contaminants, though it can be used to cheat too, like to save your fort from a nasty fb syndrome or whatever. Dry buckets is great for reclaiming unusable orphaned buckets of water that build up over time in forts. A lot of players love workflow for automating industries, but I prefer micromanaging. Autodump is a script that I've never used, as it feels cheaty, but am heavily considering, as there's simply no effective way to deal with pic related.
But if you don't mind cheating, there are some crazy things you can do with gm editor. I'm not well versed in that side of dfhack, but there's an anon here who is a real pro and likes to share tips. Same guy creating the curses+ tilesets that are posting here.

Yeah, gm-editor is on my shift+d hotkey since I use it all the time for shit, I modded mine so when you're in travel mode it pulls up the army position and you can use it to zoop yourself around the map with practice(+/- 75~100 x/y will put you from one hamlet/hillock to a neighboring one pretty well, but values past the edge of the map crash the game!) and there's lots of other shit you can do.

Right now I'm using it to try and figure out what the fuck just happened with this dragon.

I guess they are good on their own, too. I should keep a stack of wafers up, in case someone gets a mood. I need to find more adamantite veins.

They do add frightening amounts to the fortress value, alongside with the metalcrafter's constant flood of masterwork rings, earrings, goblets and toys.

Eh, it's a neat concept, never read it, and the movie itself kinda dragged.

I did track down what happened kinda.

Apparently when I hit it the game showed it as being dead before it died, and somehow it just kinda forgot to do the actual linking of death/slayer/corpse stuff.

Went in and removed all the partial death links, healed it back up enough that it could survive a second, it appeared back where I thought it would, and I punched it in the brain to properly kill it this time.

Also protip you can divide those numbers by 1000 to get cubic decimeters i.e. liters which equal 1kg if the creature has the density of water. Therefore the Roc weighs 20,000 kilograms which is 20 metric tons.

Detective work, you can work out who's infected by checking combat logs. Other choice is to lock everyone in their rooms around the time of the full moon.

>>137331380
Did you have df hack on?

Could also be the world crashs at that point in history.

>>137331380
>8 hours of play

My attention span won't let me go more than two.

>want to make a nice house for every dorf that's not hauler (those can live in communal housing)
>the problem is I also want the furniture in their houses to be masterwork quality
Fuck.

>>137334540

not hard if you use glass

Ok so my dwarf has "Fell Tree" as activity yet all he does is pace forwards to backwards until he has needs to fill, and after that starts pacing around aimlessly again, never cutting trees.
What gives.

>>137334540
>Houses for every dwarf

Thanks for giving me an idea.

>>137334746
Well I want to give dorfs houses made from different materials (and furniture made from different materials) based on their standing in dorf society.

4th season

still no migrants...

I though this shit was hard-coded?

>>137336553
The only thing that's hard is how you got shafted.

good lord its a euphemism

Ok, so my dwarves are now EXPERT giraffe trainers.
If I manage to take them all the way up to DOMESTICATED in the knowledge tab, will this mean that if I then start a new fortress and use my current one as a mother civ, will I be able to get giraffes?

>>137338089
Not really known if that's the case, could try.

>>137336181

I do something similar when I have glass, using each tier of glass & quality as determining factors

Though I also do things like gold & silver furniture in those circumstances anyway with minor nobles such as manager/bookkeeper and captain of the guard

>>137311369
yo what are those barrel stockpiles for, food? drink? or a combination of both? I admire how strategically placed they are and think they're randy

>>137339869
Booze.

Although this will be less effective with the updates, since they're going to want mugs to drink the booze with now, giving them an extra trip.

I think kingautismanon is just a pothead.

Do you often nickname/profession name your dwarves, apart from werebeasts?

oh right, well I tried replicating it for my first ever stockpile placed in the fortress (i'm anal about Stockpile #1 placement) and glad to see it's right next to the pregenerated tavern.

>>137340368
>(i'm anal about Stockpile #1 placement)

For me Stockpile one is a custom stockpile that holds just about everything but stone, and is slapped down in the first 11x11 space that becomes available as the fortress is mined out.

This was my favorite reclaim fort, but it was 40.24 so no tavern/library up top, just non-stop zombie sieges until I brought my adventurer back there to serve as a one dorf military.

>>137340368
>>137340964
I make sure to keep the food stockpiles in the right spot, raw fish next to the fishers, moved to another next to fishery

Other then that it would only be finished goods, using qantum stockpiles with minecarts because bins are broken at the moment, would use seeds but too many of them to matter.

Back to normal. It's about time.

Is there an easy method of damming a river without magma?

Did anyone else actually buy this when it came out?

>>137343348
No.

>>137343339
Pumps, preferably powered instead of manned, for reliability.
They can pump out water faster then the river refills, giving you time to construct a dam.

>>137343587

Ah right, never even thought of that, thanks.

Just pirated the comics personally.

And given that it's MY material he's using here, I think that's fair.

Can anyone dump some cool fortress designs for inspiration? Preferably 1 level large designs

Thanks guys, after seeing how >>136881850 turned out I'm looking to do something similar, but with magma rivers running through the fortress instead to turn my fortress into one big obsidian caster.

My fortresses are generally pretty small though and I've never done anything besides generic looking square rooms and such.

>>137344312
>>137344438
Capping the dwarfs off at a really low ammount and only doing the smallest needs like just food means you could do a decade.

Only gave up on my fort because dwarf merchants got bugged and guests wouldn't show up because of some weird connection to the world, unretireing caused the FB made of glass to be on the surface.

>>137344576

I'm not too worried about FPS death, the longest I've gone in the version was about 30 years and it wasn't too horrible.

That being said I cap my dwarves at 30 anyway because I like to have 2 specialists for every industry and no dead beat leechers.

>open stonesense
>game crashes
Ebin.

what do I change to stop water and magma warnings when digging?

>>137345361
I think you can turn them off in the init file.

As of the .42.06 release, you can do it at will.

>>137346012
That honestly sounds hilarious. How easy is that to notice in adventure mode?

>>137345887
So basically dorf equivalent of the roadrunner guy?

>>137346085
I never explored that particular labyrinth in adv mode, but I imagine that the doors all look the same in your "memory map".

>>137346208
I don't play adventure mode often, but couldn't an attentive adventurer notice from the shape of the walls around the doors?
