So after getting the walls set up and ready I blocked off the intersection, leaving a pair of doors I could pop out on the east fork. Then I covered over the lower part of the road, and walled the edges of the camp so it should flood all the way until it reaches the original river outlet heading east.

Course, while playing with magma I forgot to remove my waterskins so my booze boiled off, and I was in full withdrawal mode for a couple weeks while building until fucking pears and apples and peaches and shit started popping up everywhere.

Need to figure out what to do with it once I get the moat filled up.

Is it possible to make it so fingers will heal in adventure mode?

>>143739368
Only if you make them finger crutches.

This feels like a bad idea, but while I was waiting for the water to fill up the moat I got bored and started thinking about stuff I can do with my minecarts.

I could just fill/dump them, but that isn't nearly fun enough, nor does it run the risk of bouncing a minecart or speeding glob or water off my own skull!

Well, there is a significant difference between a fort mode water gun and an adventure mode one.

Trying to get the cadence as fast as I can crashes the game like clockwork. Slowing it down to a load, cock, aim, fire, type of pace seems sustainable.

Are there still underground rivers/lakes? What about ravines and chasms?

I always liked those way back in 40d.

If you start a conversation and choose 'express you emotions', you can see a list of the most recent emotions your adventurer has felt and what caused them. From there, it should be clear why you're crying. Most of the time, it's from seeing death and violence.

I asked Toady about that actually, usually if you check you'll find that they know you, and it's almost always a squad of recruits with a couple skilled soldiers at most.

Actually surprising that you got a mix of hammer/xbow/axe in there, was that a lasher or recruit?

The animals... yeah, that one happened a lot in 40.24, less often in 42.06 (let's not talk about the age of the horse) and I haven't seen it yet in 43.03, but I've been running around doing stupid shit like dueling bandits on a minecart.

This one fucker I swear figured out what to do, and every time I came back around for a pass, whichever direction I tried, they would run and get right near that damn cactus, cutting off my angles of approach, and I swear it seemed deliberate because they could pick all sorts of directions to run, but they consistently beelined for the nearest cactus like they knew it would keep me from mowing them down.

10 damn passes before I got a solid hit and was able to do more than wing them. Well played little elite bowelf.

Oh god, the downside of rampaging around minecarting all the things, every random creature that gets whacked by a stray minecart across the screen becomes a histfig, and it takes a good 30 seconds just to pull up the "bring up a rumor" lists due the nearly 1600 pages in there.

>>143775905
Find somewhere that has a paved road between towns/hamlets/hillocks/etc, put a campsite on one, you can deconstruct bridges, paved roads, and so forth. They're just "rock" instead of a specific material, so rather than leaving a granite block or obsidian boulder it just defaults to [INORGANIC:NONE] or magma, it evaporates pretty quickly, but if you scoop it up you can fill your backpack with it (it'll set you on fire!) or put it in a magma safe container and play with it.

>>143775854
If you want to keep the vanilla looking tileset: save this >>143422534 into your df/data/art folder, then open up df/data/init/init.txt and replace the lines that say curses_640x300.png with the new filename. I don't have many options for large square sets, and I'm superwhoremode with the vorpal curses+1 there, but I've got a collection of sets that'll fit 1920x1080 to 2560x1440p and the like natively that seem like a good fit if the tiny little 8x12 or 10x10 tilesets kill your eyes.

>>143785539
Text Will Be Text is a dfhack plugin that lets you set different sets for map and text use.

This is the closest I have to a totally stripped down HD version of the 640x300 set. The kobold soldier/goblin soldier tiles are unused, as is the column tile, so I left them, don't know which layer of the .xcf if any has the original tiles anymore.

How do you know in adventurer mode if a weapon is too big for you? Are size penalties actually taken into effect?

not sure but if it has to be twohanded it's probably too big unless you have the skill also you can look at your speed and chance to hit.

For comparison, this is the fully glitz version, with the translucency and tilemagic and my faggy diagonal walls.

>>143788284
They don't really matter in adventurer mode. If it's really too big you will get slowed down by it, otherwise it's just a matter of if you want to use it one handed or not. There's no real penalty from multigrasp that I can notice.

Drop a minecart and interact with it, use push off and ride in a direction, then you can just use the regular pushing north/south/east/west.

They can corner pretty well but you gotta set it up because they can carry a lot of momentum.

Overjudge your turns, if you wanna be going south and you're going southwest, start feeding in east pushes, plus south if you're far away, or north if you're up close.

The opposite direction is the only way to slow down that doesn't potentially involve blowing apart on impact.

When the "on minecart (NW)" indicator changes, keep going past it some, you'll keep heading northeast for a bit even when the main push is indicated as northwest or whatever.

You can literally ignore rivers up to, say... 8~10 tiles wide at normal speeds. You CAN get across the big 30~40 tile wide rivers in a cart, but you're gonna be going fast enough to kersplode if you hit anything on the other side.

Trees are life and death: you hit a trunk, you're wasted unless you glitch through it, but you can grab hold of branches to dismount without bouncing off the cart face first, so keep your hands empty!

If you've got the hang of scooting around decently enough, put some more carts in your backpack, then when you come up on some enemies, if your reaction time is fast enough, you can drop a cart and input enough commands to get it going pretty fast before you move out of range!

Well, under the road is actually sand usually, sometimes stone, it's just that the game expects the deconstruction job to produce a construction item with the properties of said construction. So you get slade boulders taking apart walls in a dark fortress, whatever random shit you find in a town keep (rutile, rock salt, hematite, native platinum, take your pick!), and so forth.

You do that with a "rock floor" and it just ends up putting the first inorganic material, magma. Usually magma is actually templated on something, like molten bronze or whatnot, but you can see it now if you get a dragon around some statues, bursts of boiling magma for everyone!

The single "unit" of magma is pretty useless, except that Toady "fixed" the ability we used to have to fill a minecart directly from lava.

I can understand a meltable creature being unable to do it, but when I'm swimming around in the stuff reciting poems for magma men, it's silly that I can't scoop some up in my cart.

You CAN scoop up magma if it's in a pool on the ground though, so you pick it up (you can grab a handful of a liquid), insert it into your minecart, dump it out to make a pool, fill the cart from the pool, voila, accessible magma!

Can't make a volcano or whatnot with it, but for precision casting dams in your campsite it's damn handy.

>>143792478

Does anyone else here sometimes get adventurers that can't climb for shit, regardless of their climbing skill?

For this adventurer, I've grinded the climbing skill up to competent, yet I can't climb more than one level before I lose hold of even rough rock surfaces. Anyone else have this problem?

In cases like that the boiling magma message is actually a bug, the same one (or at least directly related to the one) that causes generic rock constructions to result in magma when they're deconstructed. They used to make a magma glob that was a contaminant and wasn't hot, but it got changed the same time magma crabs spitting apparently-edible basalt globs was fixed. You often get the same erroneous message from cave ins, where the game fails to find the right material for dust and just calls it boiling magma, or another iteration of it fighting forgotten beasts (clouds and coatings of "frozen forgotten beast extract"). A bronze statue getting hit by dragonfire should become boiling bronze, not boiling magma, so next time you see something like that you should zip up a save and leave it on the tracker. Not that it's likely to make a difference, this constellation of bugs has been around since before there was a bug tracker.

Do failed challenges count?
In my final 40.24 fort I tried to make a double fort. The idea was that I would set my pop cap to 40, dig out basic facilities above the 1st cavern layer, and then dig out the proper fort under that. Then all dwarves except the baron/mayor/broker/bookkeeper/manager/captain of the guard (all the same dwarf) and his wife would be sealed in the lower fort with the goal of mining adamantine and conquering the HFS. Pop cap would be raised to 80, and a minecart and/or water logic timer would be set up to cause a cave in 10 years into the fort, which would open a path between the upper and lower forts, whatever may have happened in the intervening time. It failed because I'm not smart enough to get the timer right, and apparently noone on /dfg/ is either. I was still experimenting with designs when .42 released and abandoned the fort to the oblivion of unrevisited old version saves. I've gotten a little better with minecart logic since then, so I might revisit the idea some day.

Why am i gaining insane amounts of tracking when i'm not even tracking anyone?

Nice, I'm jealous. I remember once back in like .31 or so I embarked in the middle of a desert, and found out that under a layer or two of sand I had several z-layers of solid obsidian. I immediately set forth with the goal of building a massive obsidian tower fortress, glistening in the desert sun. Unfortunately I had little experience with big projects at that point, so it never got anywhere. Been searching for a similar embark ever since (several layers obsidian near ground level in an interesting location, like desert/beach/large river/etc), but never been able to find one.

Tell the head priest at the active temple in a big town (ask them about the structure too, interesting shit), tell tavern keepers, tell stories in the middle of the marketplace.

Search by site or region rather than for the creature name.

Remember the page with your big kills, like the character I was doing the minecart shit with, page 9 at the bottom is a roc, then page 10 at the top is a bunch of bandits, simply telling people about those gets me treated as a legendary hero and hunter, and a protector of the defenseless.

If you see random bards and soldiers wandering across the map going to a town you haven't visited, tell them what you've done, they'll spread the word bit by bit.

Killing bandit camps for one thing, and for another thing I went on a wild goose chase looking for a vampire to kill. This one named Cor Searingentrance was the most arduous task relative to the others, for I still remember the name somewhat by memory because of the lengths I had to rely on rumors and outdated or old bywords the townsfolk in the various hamlets he used to inhabit in order to track him down, only to find out he is currently residing in the fortress I just left four weeks ago (damn vampires travel fast). Then he was kil, and I celebrated by telling each and every passerby my deeds, had a few cossack dances in my 1-5 fps fortress and retired forever. (and made another adventurer to be her lover)

I remember that, I poked around at the save with dfhack and it was damn weird. I didn't know some of the stuff I've learned since, now I think I could do the necessary changes to make them at least capable of being around your fort citizens without everyone flipping out by doing some serious surgery in the histfig entries and if nothing else I think I could fake in a syndrome that made it no longer terrifying/auto-aggro for everyone.

>>143834078
Sounds like a syndrome, as >>143835515 said. I don't think cave spiders do drowsy, they're the perma-dizzy ones, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was something that would do that to an adventurer.

I remember trying to do a "rawr, me caveman" outsider, refusing to wear anything or use anything but my hands, feet, and teeth.

It went pretty well and then I walked through what looked like a patch of sand, which made me fall unconscious for over a day before a giant scorpion came by and stung me until my brains rotted out.

dwarves have many more feelings and motivations.

goblins and everyone else are simulated outside your fortress. your trade caravans and sieging armies will no longer be called by a function, check a list, and show up. they have to march from their shithole (where they can meet anyone along the way and maybe get in fights who knows) to your great fortress.

unfortunately this means the games a great deal easier because you're not getting your shitter slammed every winter by 200 goblins.

manager orders are greatly expanded

above ground crops are greatly expanded

temples, taverns, and libraries are part of the game and very useful in keeping your dwarves sane

training has been buffed to where danger rooms are no longer required

trees are multi tile

(and sadly the game is slower)

some more shit

you can avoid that by making everything they need to do for their job (like woodburning) inside the burrow, or just have a massive stockpile room which holds all your Wood,stone,food in the burrow.

>>143893130
Blocks look nicer, are faster to haul around, and harder to climb for enemies/bored dorfs/asshole marksdorfs wanting to get some hammer skillups.

>>143892025
That usually only happens with civ alert burrows. Outside of some buggy cases like assigning a dwarf to a burrow while he's already hauling something outside of it or hauling jobs that require a dwarf to path outside the burrow, they otherwise work pretty well. The cancellation spam from civilian alerts is annoying, but that's far from the only application burrows have. If you're savvy to the bugs and autistic about your industry layouts and dwarf assignments they can make forts a lot more efficient and even save a nice chunk of fps from the reduced pathing.

Is it possible to stave off invaders by just not trading at all?

I can't make sense of this fucking autistic military interface and I would rather not deal with it if at all possible.

>>143894125
Invaders aren't your only problem that requires military action.

>>143894125
There's an init option to turn off invasions.
I suspect that just hitting 50 and 80 pop will qualify you for the attacks that require those progress triggers. Even if that's not the case, and you have to hit every progress trigger to trigger invasions, there is no progress trigger for werebeast attacks, FB attacks or undead sieges. Also no trading would have collateral consequences. You wouldn't be able to receive human caravans, you wouldn't ever be promoted by the mountain home, and you wouldn't be able to take advantage of trade agreements with your civ to get otherwise unavailable resources.

I'm trying to create an empty large rock pot stockpile next to the stills. I've set it to take "Large pots/food storage" from another stockpile containing empty pots, but my dwarves won't haul any over.

Anyone had this problem too, or found a solution?

>>143896203
The solution is to reverse the order: lots of pot, and then rock out!

I made the mistake of creating a stone stockpile, now my dwarves are permanently busy and not doing the job they are supposed to.

I don't want to remove the stockpile either, because half of my "other stuff" stockpile is covered in loose stones and I don't want my craftsdwarf to descend into the mine pit to fetch stones when that industry picks up pace later.

>>143902784
Yeah, no. Give it some thought anon, the seed is one single number and it would generate one same world over and over given the input. But, to specify an array of hills and rivers in a certain configuration would take loads of variables or even just to represent it.

As many DF world gen seeds as there are positive integers in the computer, but, not one of those will result in Japan. Because with a probability times a probability times a probability and so on many times many factors there are so many more possible worlds than there are integers for seeds even at 2,417million.

None of that proves that no seed generates Japan, just that it is highly unlikely that any seed generates Japan.

>>143905478

>>143905709
It's a bit too abstract for me, you can move up into layers until you reach what seems to be the atmosphere or down into a deep subterranean layer. Objects seem to appear on different planes so finding a single tree might be down 3 layers or up 3 layers, you never know where it might be. It's very hard to visualize

>>143906064
It's a top down view of 3 layers at a time. Like seeing only a couple of layers at a time on a topographic map. There is nothing hard to visualize about it. If you've got trouble, use a visualizer for a while until you get it (Armok Vision).

If you assign wheelbarrows to the stockpile then it will only generate a number of jobs equal to the number of wheelbarrows in the pile at any given time. If you aren't using dfhack that means 3 dwarves max hauling stone at a time, and the jobs get finished a lot faster too.

>>143905308
Conceded, this is not any proof at all no !
Not even the beginning of a lunge at a 'proof.'

Just, logically, it is highly unlikely that any seed generates a given output (unless the specified output were the previously demonstrated result of that seed.)

and now for a mental exercise, specify not how many seeds there are but how many different unique pocket-sized worlds there are with one hill or one feature defined differently from others. (I have no idea how high the number of probable*probable*probable... elements in that equation are, but it is high way past a 64-bit representation of an integer.)

>>143904882
There are a ton of maps out there that closely replicate the geography of real places. You can make them yourself with perfect world or even the vanilla world painter tool if you're good.

I dont really mind saving resources but for lets say for an invasion or a dragon burning up my buildings which stone would defend my fort better, from what i understand blocks are lighter, would that cause less defense? Or does it really not matter all that much? If its only a minor difference then i'd just use blocks for convenience.

Also idk if you'd wanna help me out but i also wanted to build a river flowing around my fort that'll cause enemies to drown or delay them but i dont know how exactly to go about it. Would i just channel around my fort and sacrifice 1 miner to connect the river flow?

>>143916168
Still, if the point were that the stream were shallow they could have been represented as 3 or 2 or 1 depth but they are usually 7 deep, too deep to wade in without drowning. Do you understand what I am pointing up about that?

You seem to be misunderstanding the context of anon's original question. The maps in question have been generated and distributed to the community. Anon was simply asking if anyone knew where he could find the maps or seeds to generate them, as they have been posted here and elsewhere before. The question is not "toast" or any other food, whatever you might mean by that, it's a reasonable question asked in a logical place where one might find the answer to it. Anon was just unlucky that no one lurking happens to know.

>>143916983
To fill water without losing an employee. Dig it all out dry with an exit ramp or stairs, then use channeling (from a digging position above) no muss no corpse. Unless you wanted one.

A floodgate would be useful if you ever, ever want to let the moat dry out and 'do something' there, then reflood it by opening the floodgate.

Not a bit. They ARE brooks and streams, and the game abstracts that by putting passable tiles on the surface. Rivers, which are impassable to normal traffic, don't have that because they aren't meant to be passable. So no, I don't know what you're "pointing up about". Are you arguing that they aren't brooks and streams? Or just that you don't like the way they're implemented? If it's the former, you're mistaken. If the latter, I can't help you with that.
