Competent sworddorfs aren't that competent at all.
Just slap them into danger rooms.
Keep them in danger rooms so long their whole life is just a room with spikes flying out of the floor and walls.
Keep them there so long they'll only feel safe when there are spears flung at them.
Keep them there so long they'll bemoan every second spent outside their throat-crushing safehaven.

I like elves when they aren't tree hugging fags. TES does elves pretty good.
>>146654751
let this meme die
>>146654892
But TES divided their elves into tree hugging fags(wood elves), elitist douchebags(high elves), and primitive sub-humans with a false sense of superiority(dark elves). Toady just lets one kind of elves play all of those roles.
>>146655080
>primitive sub-humans with a false sense of superiority(dark elves)
You can just write African-American, this isn't a family website.
>>146655080
>elitist douchebags
I see no problem here.
Werehorse den is fairly done. I got:
Bedroom for morale
Irrigated a 6x6 for 4 plots of plumps when the dorfs arrive for me to buy seed for subterranean plants
Still and kitchen complete with 6 barrels and 8 seed bags.
Small well and stocked hospital incl buckets
3 picks for digging. Anvil in case I decide to risk bumping a cavern
~50 leather for emergency clothes before I get some rope reeds up
pits with retracting bridges to airlock emergency supplies in case of a mood in and for moving crafts/furniture out to sell
Dorm for later immigrants
I guess it could use a minecart for automated shit moving and it could use a mushroom tree farm but I can live without it and don't have it respectively.
He'll be free to setup a pit system for later when I try to convert more dorfs into werehorses and plenty of space for a mausoleum while he wastes time picking.
Am I missing anything?
>>146654751

>>146655241
Judging from Morrowind, dark elves seem more like middle easterners. Especially so considering the dwemer's resemblance to ancient mesopotamians.

nah senpai
Just found a site with ~19k coal deposits and no steel components; how badly am I going to regret only being able to make bronze?
>>146657138
There's no game without iron + flux
>>146657138
> thinking you'll be able to make bronze
you can embark with shallow metals and deep metals (both plural) and get zero weapon-quality metals.
review the wiki entries for flux stones and melt item return values. when the caravans arrive which can provide you with flux stones, iron, pig iron, steel, or items made of those materials, request the highest efficiency items in the trade pact screen. the next caravan arrives and provides you with whatever iron you might need.
goblins might also come with iron, be sure to recover as much of that as possible
>>146657817
I embark as many times as it takes until I get iron. Once I literally spent 12 hours on this and I have no regrets.
>>146657138
You can import ~20 steel worth in just ore, bars, and anvils per year. with a booming economy, you can buy bulk weapons, trap components, armor, cages, mine carts, wheelbarrows and you can get even more if you're willing to bite the cost on the less effective ones. You should have already test embarked anywhere to get a list of everyones stone so you should have mutli-flux civs for no problem there. Embark in range of humans for even more meltables.
You can also harvest goblinite in even the worst scenarios purely with importing fuel, flux and shooting/trapping/drowning gobbos dead for their shit. If you don't small embark. Wood/bone crossbows dorfs and forbidden after stocking 10 xbow traps in bulk are pretty raunchy.
Embark and make sure it's shallow metalS, deep metalS for multiple chances for weapons grade, and flux that's in range of a human civ for the best situation.

I don't think I'm good enough at the game to make this entertaining, sorry.
The fort I've managed to establish is a mess, and all I'll be doing for a few years is train military and make armor.
>>146661660
Re-screenshot. The cursor wasn't active in that frame.
>>146661660
I just want to look at your shit. I don't care that it's a mess, I ain't doing any better
>>146661791
Does quality effect trap damage?
Will masterwork spike balls deal significantly more damage, or should I just sell them and use normal spike balls for my traps?
Also are trap logs displayed anywhere?
I want a combat log for the damage my trap did.
I have dwarf with farming idling around even though I issued a farmers workshop to be built.
Whats up with this?
>>146661970
Presumably but it's not like we don't overstack them anyway so you don't notice.
It's showed in the victims
>>146662181
Burrows, clear path to material and structure and not on break or other activity?
>>146662181
And it's not suspended?

I-I can at least melt the worn out armour, right?
>>146661791
It's either that spot, or the one immediately to the right. The exact location is that 3x3 fort in the lower left.
What I've got so far is just some workshops placed in a hollowed-out magnetite vein. There is a mineshaft below, but it's mostly flooded by the aquifer due to my oversight. Almost all of my dwarves are in military training to prepare to fight the zombie army outside.
>>146662265
no burrows
yes
yes
not on break or doing anything else
>>146662412

It reads:

Construction inactive.
Since there's couples in this game, is cucking something that happens? Serious question.
>>146661970
Yes, and it's in the same combat reports list as every other combat engagement.
>>146662615
When you say he has farming enabled, if you mean planting then that's not the right labor.

>>146652249
But thats realistic, war is a confusing mess, your ability only goes so far, you need luck for surviving.
That recruit had some, and your swordsman didnt
thats something taody has managed to picture very well
>>146667278

Look at all these cuties I'll be able to employ in 2 years. Fuck yes merc squads
>>146667440
I know, it just irks me when essentially two teenagers go at it and the one with a little training and steel armor gets dunked on by a hobo.
>>146667774
I'm kind of sad you can't have 100% merc squads.
Usually I just leave the token dwarf commander in-fortress while I throw merc meatshields at the siegers and my dorf milita cleans up.
>>146667461
Now I have ghosts.
>>146668663
Fell mood dwarves can actually butcher ghosts. Just because they are so pissed off.
>>146668663
Well darn. Time to abandon the fort. It's game over man game over!
>>146669069
It's my first fort, I'm sure fun will soon be upon me in any case.
>>146669006
Now this is some useful information. I'll just have to stop trying to make them happy, and the ghost problem will take care of itself!
>>146669069
Over ghosts?
>>146669380
Yep. Suicide and succumb. Soon they'll begin possessing your dwarves. You need to get out so they can't possess and emigrate back to the homelands where they kill more to be possessed by other ghosts. Undead cascades are serious business.
>>146669717
>misinformationing this hard
Don't give up, newfag-with-ghost-problem. Just order to have the bodies buried, and the ghosts will go away. You need to build a coffin/casket/sarcophagus, and then activate it for burials.
>>146670320
>You need to build a coffin/casket/sarcophagus, and then activate it for burials.
Build as in (B)uild or just make some?
Also do coffins give dwarves bad thoughts?
Can I just leave them in the stockpile?
>>146655080
>>146654892
>>146653948
DF elves are pretty darn cool when they're imported to other culture. They have the highest possible agility, kinesthetic sense, and spatial sense, and give them some iron or steel gear and they're not bad.
I'm thinking about doing a fort in which I replace the derfs with a couple of elven adventurers.
>>146670320
If he doesn't want to read the wiki he can go fuck himself.
>>146671063
You can't give them labors so no dice. Once we get dfhack back and if one of the add unit to your fort plugins works then yeah.
>>146671241
Wait what? I thought multiracial forts were a go?
>>146671107
Yeah, how dare he bump an otherwise dead thread with questions relevant to the game.
>>146670571
You need to first build the coffin at a mason's workshop, a carpenter's workshop or a metalsmith's forge, and then construct it where you want it. After that, it will need to be activated through the 'q' menu.
>>146671454
visitors are restricted to the purpose they came for. Soldiering, performing, etc. Being able to fill out squads while only needing 1 native is nice though. Especially since you can class warfare and only give them steel. Letting the mercenaries wear shit.
>>146671241
A common misconception. You can give them labours, but only after they've become full fledged citizens. When they first join your fort, they'll only become long term guests. In that state, they'll only perform one task(like entertaining or soldiering). After a few years, they might apply for citizenship. When they become citizens, they work the exact same way as any dorf. They sleep in ordinary bedrooms(unlike long term guests, who stay in the tavern's bedrooms), and can be assigned any labour.
Anyone else try to RP that your fort isnt actually a fortress/outpost?I imagine that the dwarves have massive underground highways that transport thousands of crates of metal and jewels every day, but recently there was a earthquake, destroying most of the Road and killing everyone who used to live in the Exit to one of the continents , so they sent a S&R team to
1. Find Survivors (there are never any)
2. Reopen the Road
3. Defend the exit
as long as they continue this task they will get Reinforcements (migrants) whenever avalible and Resupply Caravans every monthForgive my autism
>>146655080
Wood elves are badass, they can literally shapeshift, eat their fallen dead, and call upon the wild hunt to wipe out pretty much any force that threatens their moving tree-cities. High elves are eugenic cosmically powerful magic-machines that make every other race of magicians look like children. Dark Elves are basically just cursed high-elves, some of which can take credit for becoming literal gods, achieving chim, hollowing out the earth to build a giant magitech facility and growing fancy mushroom houses.
Meanwhile toady elves are just "there are dwarves, therefore there must be elves! But I can't be bothered to flesh them out beyond the fact that they're frail and like trees to the point where it's obnoxious as an ingame mechanic"
>>146671719
>visitors are restricted to the purpose they came for.
Ah. What if your adventurer obtains membership in adventurer mode though?
>>146672103
Keebs aren't frail, nor are they particularly mechanically disadvantaged. Not sure if disease resistance does anything, but its very high.
I mean, are we talking entity-wise or creature-wise? Because if you want to look at a sorry creature, look at humans. Their stats are abysmal, their only advantage being a mild average size increase; yet its quite possible to have any number of fort-raised dwarves of enormous size.

I've just gotten back the HDD containing my .42.06 fort, Relicwebs after several months. I've got so much shit going on that I've been scrolling around for an hour trying to remember all my plans. Might not be unpausing today.

>>146671996
no but that is awesome that you do that.
Makes the game interesting. Ill have to try that.
A lot of times i RP in the sense that i will build a tavern outside. And start mining and set up an underground fort. Its like an outpost base underground. That connects to highways.
but now that you gave me that idea. i think i will have more fun in my fort lay outs now.
I never see coke being stored in a stockpile with "coal" enabled. What's wrong?
>>146671996
Yeah. I like rping as a beekeeping monastery, a local gathering and livestock tavern, Surface luddite camp with primarily wood/bone bolts and obsidian swords, Cavern dorfs sealing off and living for generations, Fishing town, "war animal" tamers and breeders, Vermin Pet emporium, Mushroom tree farmer, starting out merchants buying goods, refining them, and selling them. No growing, brewing, or butchering jack shit. Live by the dorfbux, starve by the bux. Winery that only sells wine and imports everything else. Turning as much of the fort as possible into werebeasts/vampires until they run the place.
>>146671729

Nothing barring good fortress design that requires them to go out of their way to see outside the fort. Make a double L bend in your entrance to break up LoSRemember to edit standing orders to forbid dead and death items so they don't run out after socks.
>>146679335
Cause Toady is weird but also doesn't play other games so we'll never see nested categories and it's not gonna be opened up anytime soon for people to make it themselves.
You could make a mockup of the system and propose it in suggestions but like a lot of ui stuff Toady's probably just gonna sock it away for 2074 cause he doesn't want to reinvent the ui wheel a bajillion times as he does more shit.
>>146680385
Get bit that's it long as they live long enough. Long as they're mobile you can put them in a no uniform squad, station them somewhere and lock the door long enough to wall them in. They wont starve or die of thirst thanks to monthly shifting and dorf moods are full retard now. Mine hasn't gone insane from being walled in for 3 years so far.

I did that. They just "decided" to go hunting right after being ordered to move deeper into my fort.
>>146662592
Yes. Anything that's not masterpiece tier can be safely melted down. Trying to "recover" the metal from a masterpiece by melting it down isn't a good idea in any case, even if the dwarf has made hundreds of them already; the loss of 1 in 100 masterpieces a dwarf has made might not make him lose it, but it IS another piece of straw on the camels' back.
You could probably buy more iron from a caravan than what you'd get by melting it down, even with a slightly or severely damaged masterpiece weapon anyways.

I'm going for a similar feel in my current fort.
>>146684715
Alright so hold up. Marksdwarves as in, military squad dwarves armed with crossbows were given a station order and they ran outside to shoot at a boar or hunters with the hunting job ignored burrow restrictions to carry out the hunting job. If it's the jobs, I dunno. It's always too buggy and suicide bait for me to have used it in years. Just take their job off. If it's soldiers being dorks, next time make sure nothing above and outside the fort is unforbidden so they have no reason to.
>>146685223
Do it, it's pretty rad. Remember to take building materials so you can immediately pop a hut up over the wagon and seal it so you have time to get your basic dirt hut together instead of beating your face against the undead pop until one gets lucky or they swarm a straggler/hothead. You'll probably end up stone door/bridge airlocking migrants in then going full socializing for maximum kids.

I have an embark with a river at the top of a mountain, but also a fairly deep chasm/pit at the bottom (10 Z levels down from the river, though the river follows the slope enough that I could access it).
If I wanted to be as safe as possible so I can focus on learning to make my dwarves happy, where should I strike the earth?
>>146655241
>>146655080
Dark elves aren't niggers, they are very civilized but honourable race that keep to themselves. What you might be thinking are wood elves (aka non-elves).
We can't put everyone into one bowl, you see nord and imperials in every country, but real dark elves stay in morrowind to defend it. the few dark elves in skyrim or valenwood are cucks in insecure existance and are not real dark elves.
please dont confuse us with woodelf scum.
>>146689815
Hard to say without seeing it. Post screenshots.
>>146689815
Build underneath the river. You can make a secret underwater entrance, but you have to dig down on land and come up through the river bed once you've moved everything inside.
>>146690015
This is the pit, it's in the upper-middle section of the map.
>>146690387

>>146688693
Not very high/deep yet. I found out too late that I didn't have any sand on the surface, which sucked since my planned design requires a lot of windows. I guess my next objective is to crack open the caverns, but I have more pressing matters, like finally building a catacomb and so on. I also want to even up my superstructure a bit, and pave over the loam and vegetation that was part of the mountain, but it's taking forever due to my inefficient diorite rock production. Maybe I just need more shops, maybe I need dedicated stockpiles.
Pic is my courtyard, which also serves as my temple. The tower in the north-eastern corner is open all the way down to the entrance level, where my militia is training. The northern tower houses my fledgling burial chamber, but the floor isn't finished, leaving a gab down to my hospital below.
Alright, so the first one is the pit, the second is the river site, the third is the chasm. You can see the chasm has some river access. If it matters, if the embark was divided into nine parts, the pit is in the upper middle, the river is in the very middle, and the chasm runs along the right edge.
If I took the River, I'd probably beef it up with walls and traps.
>>146684584

Fuck, of course it should be diorite BLOCK production.
>>146691235
The indention in the mountainside in the left image is probably the most defensible place.
You'll need to do a lot of constructing if you build from the surface down, but it's viable and above ground forts can be fun. It's a little harder to make valuable dwellings on the surface, so if you want happy dwarves it might not be the right choice.
I would leave the chasm alone until you're established. Anything you do there is going to involve some engineering. That's more of a vanity project to pursue when you've accomplished your goal. It would be a cool place for a power plant, though.

On the entry shaft, channeling out the spaces between the pillars was particularly micromanagey.

I must be wrong right? If it was named before coming onto the map it would give an announcement right?
>>146712642
Mmmm, on the first of each month it checks for sieges, and iirc unless they changed it if its sieged for a whole month it falls. In adventurer mode I think you can go around stopping sieges by killing everyone though.
The armies are actual things that roam about on the map however, so if the fort is far from goblins they will not visit, while if you build a fort on their door stop you will get lots of cool invasions.

>Any clue how it works now and whether it respects that, say, goblins may be physically incapable of entering a dwarf site?
It doesn't check for that. It looks at the entire military strength of both forces and figures it out from that. AFAIK only skill levels and numbers of troops matters, but I don't know how it figures out who wins based on those numbers. Apparently attackers were greatly favored before, and that was what caused the bug. Toady said somewhere that he probably took it too far in the other direction with the fix. The whole mechanic is pretty opaque to the player, though.
>>146721257
Having the fort sealed matters, because then only the units which happen to be outside like buggy merchants) end up taking part, leading to named yak cows and such.

Creatures' locations aren't saved when you retire a fort. The creature only has to be at the site to participate in the battle. I'm not sure how it deals with caged creatures, but I've never seen a creature I know to be caged take part.

>>146723867
Lower the required amount that have to follow orders, Schedule it. Only give partial squad orders for station/kill/etc. Set the squads alert status to the inactive preset instead of the active/training preset.
With the new dorf stuff, you benefit somewhat from just making 2 3-5 dorf squads and doing some variation of 1 month on, 1 month off and swap after their 2 year or less training montage so they can actually fight.
>>146723278
I've retired lots of forts with them sealed up, had sieges hit, the only participants on my side were random merchant animals and shit that spawned outside the fort.
My civilization is at war with elves, i think this is a good name for my fortress
Is there a way to force a siege with a civ you havent made contact with?
I am 6 years into my fort, and I dont want to start over. But I have only been visited by 2 civilizations, and one of them in the mountain homes. This is getting boring. I had one of every race listed as neighbors when I embarked

Nope. Open up all 3 of your caverns and go fight shit. None of that hiding like a pussy faggot. Why aren't you selling cavern creatures as your sole income? Why aren't you defended solely by war jabberers and hunting cave swallows?
Go have an open fort in the third cavern for all the action you could want. 1x3 ramp right down to that bitch, drop a depot and go nuts.
>>146725297
You set up sieges by fort placement. If you want regular sieges, set it up in reach of multiple necro towers, and bordered by multiple goblin dark fortresses.
Is there any reason (besides atom smasher) to not build a bridge instead of a door/floodgate/grate/exc?
They seem OP as hell.
>>146728106
tfw cant tell which city belongs to which race on the embark screen
So how do you build flood gates without drowning dwarves that dig away the stone blocking the water from the gate?
The wiki's not all that helpful on this.
>>146729809
Doors. Or relying your dwarves' survival instincts to not drown or be burned alive.I recommend doors.
>>146729809
1. use bridges instead of flood gates
2. how are they drowning? Are you not setting up everything in a dry spot firtst, then only opening a path to the river once you have all the levers ready to go?
>>146729535
A door can be instantly locked for all the good that will do you. Otherwise no.
>>146729809
Channel from above?
Have them stand on top of grates so they get knocked back and then they're fine?

>>146730056
>>146730063
How would doors or bridges save the dwarf?
Iv never actually done this, but i'm going off of SS13 logic where as soon as you remove the stone blocking the water, the force of the water is going to slam him against the floodgate and knock him out.
>Are you not setting up everything in a dry spot firtst, then only opening a path to the river once you have all the levers ready to go?
Everything is set up, but a dwarf actually has to open a path for the water to come in. How does he not die?
>>146730082
>Channel from above?
Can't underground.
It never rains here.
Can marksdwarves fire though other dwarves or do they have to have a clear line of sight on the target?
>>146730765
Doors are watertight. Place a door behind where the dwarf will stand when the last tile is dug. The dwarf moves through
You then attach the door to a lever. If you're digging into magma, you can use a door that isn't magma safe instead.
>>146730974
They can fire through other dwarves, but it usually results in debilitating pain
>>146730765
You dig above it and channel down to create the lip. Otherwise I guess you'll have to get the spillway built, opened, then grated scaffold up the face of the bits you want to yank and use either channel or upward ramp.
Read the article on how to get magma. There's a trick that lets you abuse pathing to channel from above safely if you don't want to grate it.
>>146730765
The water is slow enough to where a single dwarf can get out of there right after opening it
>>146730974
You fire through allied safely. It's presumed that the arcing is abstracted.
>>146730974
Creatures don't obstruct LoS and friendly fire isn't a thingyet. Well, not with crossbows at least. Ballista bolts are another matter.
>>146730974
dont even bother with marksdwarves
they are more trouble than they are worth. a squad of spears is easier and if you send 30 dwarves at a webspitter it will be kill, no marksdwarves needed.
>>146731250
Friendly fire is a thing in this game?
The wiki is very blank on this.
>>146731482
Nah, they're pretty good. You can take 10 anybodies and have them shoot at wildlife for a year to get legendary where they fire pretty fast and accurately. It's better to say that poorly skilled marks aren't worth it. If you have a wagon accessible depot, and why wouldn't you, and import the full weapons grade shit and meltables list you do pretty good on being stocked up even if you don't have a decent ore spread. Magma breaks the game over its dick.
>>146731564
Ballistas are because they're a flat trajectory unlike the abstracted arcing of bow/xbow fire.

UPDATE WHEN TOAD MAN?
Is there a way to see which civ a town belongs to on the embark screen? Like if I want to settle in between 2 human civs, one to trade with and the other to fight.
Also does the game care about cities/hamlets/forts for sieges? Or can I just settle near ANY of their territory?
>>146732452
nope, you'll have to pony up and either use legends viewer or do research ahead of time
>Also does the game care about cities/hamlets/forts for sieges? Or can I just settle near ANY of their territory?
The armies launched are actual things composed of the population. The armies march around on the map and everything. If you embark near four goblin dark fortresses with a population in the ten thousand each, you will get much more luck than if you just nest by a hamlet a couple of goblins took over.
So I got trapped in the caverns last night, found a magma pool, swam back to the nearest volcano, burned all my lumber in the process, found another site and got set up with wood stocks beforehand, due to how the site loaded I was able to get constructions going on three different levels before it filled in around them.

>>146734713
Yes.
>>146656118

Yes. Ideally, you have them above the entrance to it so they shoot at people passing under instead of people coming at them. This way they aren't shooting axe gobs while 12 marksgobs kill and cripple all your dudes.

How do i prevent my Dwarves literally squeezing through fortifications in order to pull a suicide charge on the enemy once they get close 2 z levels below?
>>146736031
Grasp your anus firmly? Try putting them higher so it's 4 z's of block wall below so they have no handholds.
If you want, training weapon it up to get a couple masters then partner them with hammer dorfs to spar. After a year or two they'll have decent teacher. Split them up and have them teach and spar hammer dorfing then cross train xbows so it doesn't even matter.

>>146736350

>>146735652
I'm working on that. Should I completely remove the ceiling of the entrance, or just the part near where the dwarves are firing from?
>>146736613
No, I mean you have the fortifications on the inside walls of your fort at the entrance and not at the end of the entrance tunnel. So you're firing at their back as they run by instead of down a hallway at their face.
>>146736705
>So you're firing at their back as they run by instead of down a hallway at their face.

Jokes on me....
My dwarves wont haul anything away from the trade depot. I'ts not forbidden, they just wont move it. How do I fix?
>>146737520
No, I used the dig-from-below exploit to remove a whole wall of the tube. No dwarf was endangered. By this at least.
I was hoping that I could get a better fill rate with a more open tiles, but it hasn't made much difference. One pump still moves the magma a lot faster than it flows.
>>146738050
We need all the information
Burrows inactive?
Clear path? If you use ramps make sure you didn't fuck them up.
Stockpiles with space and the correct settings to store it? Remember only as many haul jobs as there are wheelbarrows are created if you have them on it
Appropriate labors enabled on enough low workload dorfs that they can actually get to it?
If you're trying to dump, do you have an activity zone set to dump, a clear path to it without active burrows and in the standing orders menu refuse category you've enabled gather outside refuse?
watch the jobs menu and give them time to get through their queue.
>Don't give children anything.
>mfw they start growing up

>>146738310
Use gravity and a checkerboard pressure regulator if magma even needs it.
>>146738340
>Burrows inactive?
Yes.
>Clear path?
Yes.
>Stockpiles with space and the correct settings to store it?
Yes.
>Appropriate labors enabled on enough low workload dorfs that they can actually get to it?
Yes. At least 8 no jobs.
> Remember only as many haul jobs as there are wheelbarrows are created if you have them on it
If I set 0 wheelbarrows will that let everyone haul to it? That might be it.
>>146738695
Well double check for locked doors. and set to 0 if you don't have any wheelbarrows for it. Do the dorfs have no job or are they busy? You may just need more haulers. That becomes a problem in larger forts as you keep assigning more work but not more support and then you dump all the depot jobs on top of it.
>>146738575
Magma isn't pressurized unless it's pumped. Gravity doesn't pressurize it, and pressure regulators would only slow the magma down if it did gain pressure.
Magma is slow, there's not a lot that can be done about that. In this case at least.
>>146738910
Half my dwarves have no other jobs then haul stuff and they still all just sit around most of the time.
I just have 1 massive stockpile with 3 wheelbarrows, so that's probably it.
If I remove all hauling jobs on my craftdwarfs will they still go pick up the required resources, or just stand there looking at empty work benches??
>>146739024
Should have widened it to probably 3 wide with the distance you have. That way the volume can equalize better so it's not dripping as much Whenever you have 6's and 7's backing up you should have make it wider.
>>146739138
They'll grab from the depot unless you marked it for dumping I think. Until dfhack catches up so you can assign 25 wheelbarrows just make more smaller piles with 3 or use a medium catcher pile nearby and minecart the shit around for pseufo wheelbarrowing to a track dump onto your pile in your hoard.
>>146739024
>>146739237

That was it. Having 1 big stockpile was a massive bottleneck.
>>146739237
>Should have widened it to probably 3 wide with the distance you have.
You mean the pump? More pumps wouldn't help. I can only pump magma as fast as it exits the tube. I'm already doing that.
If you mean the tube breach itself, it's already 5 wide.
I wasn't asking for help, I'm not having any trouble getting magma. I was just bitching.
>>146739332

How much steel is needed to boost the chance of being sieged?
I want to fit out five dwarves with steel armour + weapons but I heard that steel is really valuable, and increasing the worth of your fortress causes sieges. I'm fine with sieges happening eventually but I'd at least like to have a some dudes kitted our and trained rather than smelting some steel bars and immediately getting ass raped.

Cool how about this you useless fig
What other programs do you have running and how much cpu are they eating
Is DF using more or near 2gb of ram
Did you use the regular worldgen or advanced
If so, did you up population max, site max, caves, or number of civs
How many years did you generate for
Embark size
How many biomes
What are the biomes
Did you get a something has collapsed message at the start and ignored it
Did you dig out a fuckton of soil and pop caverns
How many wild animals running around
How many pets/livestock
How many that aren't caged so they aren't fucking fps
How big is your central ramp/staircase. Specifically, are you getting a lot of collisions
Do you have a lot of wide open shit so A* is freaking out every time it looks for shit and any time someone bumps

Because it's necessary to reduce the more and more common occurrences of DF running out of memory in worldgen as more and more simulation data is added over the years.

Are rivers an endless source of flowing water or will they turn into stagnant pools i you redirect them enough?

Endless. Since you can't fuck up the edge of the map, the size of your source is the size you get to work with so plan accordingly.
>>146758721
Now you've given me the idea to floodgate the edge of the river in deepest winter and create the ultimate moat.
>>146759017
Well what you want to do is divert it so you can dam it. Channel a fuckhuge reservoir, then let the river fill it up. Build your fort at the base of the reservoir. Just open the spillway and sploosh, gobbos are under 80 z's of water.

For raised bridges, does the direction arrow indicate:
a. Where the bridge will raise, making an invisable wall on those tiles and the bridge tile passable when raised, and atom smashing anything on the bridge tiles when lowered.

putting things like pathfinding and flow calculations on different threads won't speed things up, because they have to wait for each other (and most other things) anyway.

Simple Definition of raise
: to lift or move (something or someone) to a higher position
: to lift or move (something or someone) to a standing or more upright position
: to increase the amount or level of (something)
>>146764997
That's not what i'm asking.
The game does not graphically show the bridge raising or lowering I have no real way of testing this without killing dwarves/destroying items.
If I build a raised bridge pointing left, am I building the bridge on the left, or the right of the picture?
>>146765891
The bridge is built in the lowered position, so the arrow shows the direction that it will raise.
Question: does a glumprong training spear have any potential as a weapon due to its weight and density? I was thinking it could be similar to a quarterstaff.

Nobody's ever made a game that comes close to Dwarf Fortress. Period. There's nothing like it, ever. If it was so easy, someone would have done it.
The game is already incredible and becomes moreso with each release. By the time Toady dies of old age and the source is released, two generations of gamers will have been enchanted by it and there'll be a whole world of programmers ready to pick up the torch.

>>146770415
Looks pretty promising. I stand corrected, though I am still convinced that the majority of DF clones are just attempts to make Autism Blocks.

Is there a downside to not allowing vistors to your tavern?

>>146771495
Modest and accelerated are just raw changes. Literally the only thing that changed in the raws in the latest version was a line that lets you stockpile paper slurry. Many updates don't have any raw changes at all.

>>146772052
Cool, thanks.
For Upright Spear/Spike traps, do they keep doing damage if you repeatedly raise/lower them on an enemy?
Should I have my dwarves mashing the lever?
If I drop all of the invading undead into the caverns, sealed off from my fortress will that end the siege, or do I actually have to kill them all?
>>146772517
Yes, each time is an attack, based off the mechanism's skill level in lieu of spear skill, modified by craftsmanship of the weapon as usual.
>>146772768
The moment they are all caged, the siege ends, iirc.
However, I don't think the siege will ever end unless they are all caged or killed.
>>146771356

What's the problem, holmes? Cage a necromancer, create a levered drawbridge overlooking a corpse pit, and flip it to create zombies whenever.
>>146771495
Modest/accelerated?
>>146774901
Modest mod absorbed the accelerated mod, and it trims down DF in barely detectable ways to make the game cleaner and faster. It makes superfluous materials into generic versions, improving processor speed.
>>146775174
It's a shame those superfluous materials are a big part of why I play DF.
>>146775393

>>146775980
kys autist
>>146776031
Eh I wouldn't say its that big of deal, just I see no point whatsoever to having different names, and different stacks, for different materials, unless those materials have different properties whatsoever.
Like dragonbone and dragonhide being as strong as steel and fire proof, that justifies a separate stack, but if all stone of a given type and the same color has the same stats, then there's no need for them to be stacked or named differently.
why doesn't toady make humans and elves playable if they're fully fleshed out and playable anyways
does he just want to hide them from noobs or something
>>146776930
talking about fortress mode btw
>>146776930
I wouldn't exactly call elves playable in their current state. They have no way to get wood, which is kind of, you know, everything to them.
Humans are fine, just more boring versions of dwarves with better weapons and worse armor, but there's the issue that they will tend to have vast subterranean complexes like derfs.
Currently its much more interesting to integrate elves and humies into your forts and learn their tech rather than to just play them.

Hmmm, nope.
>The game is basically made to be immersive in these aspects
But it has absolutely nothing to do with immersion. Materials that look identical and have identical properties are not necessarily detectable as being of separate materials, and instantly knowing which is peafowl bone and which is chicken bone does not aid immersion at all.
> deleting it seems like missing the point of the entire game.
The point of the game, to the extent that there is one, is to create Morias until they collapse and then to bring an adventurer to explore the ruins.

If there's adamantine, that's the fastest way. Gather all your dorfs around the adamantine and lock the way out.

>>146783631
You don't need to edit the raws, just the inits I think.
The wiki says it doesn't apply for the first two migrant waves; however, I set max pop to 10, and got only 3 migrants. After a long time with no migrants, and an undead attack killed two dwarves, I almost immediately got a second migrant wave of two dwarves that brought me back up to 10.
So it might just be a coincidence.

Not sure what not giving a shit about llamabone vs bone (that I know came from a llama) items has to do with it, I like high FPS precisely because I don't like the game having a meltdown on me.
>>146784287
Not that guy, but I think stuff like that is important to people who play the game for the little details. Sure, you could group everything together, streamline it into less of a complex text adventure and more of a complex number simulator, but there is just something charming about doing stuff like making a weapon out of the NAMED bones of something you killed as opposed to it all becoming generic bones that you happened to get from killing something.
It wouldn't be dwarf fortress if it didn't have all those details which make it feel like such a unique adventure, triumph and so on every time which devour fps.
>>146784842

That is a perfectly legitimate viewpoint and a good reason to not use a FPS saving mod.
>It wouldn't be dwarf fortress if it didn't have all those details
Unfortunately that's factually untrue.
Again, if they literally ARE generic bones with no dissimilar properties, then making the game less opaque doesn't magically make it not Dwarf Fortress. If for some odd reason I'm having an amazing difficulty keeping the alpalca and llama bones separate (I don't often butcher memorable and nonmemorable corpses at similar times), and I slew the llama in some memorable manner I wish to commemorate, I can flat out just scrimsaw whatever memorable scene that made the bones memorable in the first place onto whatever bone item I create.
To say nothing of nixing varieties of stone that are wholly of the same appearance and function.

I'm not any of the people who have been participating in this discussion.
I've never seen any evidence that changing the naming scheme actually improves fps. Every object in the game has a uniquely addressable identity, whether it shares a name with 5 or 500 objects.
As far as I'm aware that feature is only there to clean up menus and make them easier to easier to navigate.

How does changing the name of an object make the game run faster?
>>146792605
Because you're not?
Generic materials makes it so that instead of, what, 400+ kinds of bone, skin, etc., they just produce a generic version. So instead of alpalca bone and llama bone and monkey bone, you just get bone. Normally this is most important with stone, but it gets real problematic when you get to cities and so forth and there's a bajillion types of bone ear rings and so forth.

Jesus christ how horrifying
wouldn't be a problem if toadus actually made the different kinds of bone have different material properties
>>146792936
>Because you're not?
But you are. You're literally just renaming llama bone rings into bone rings. If the town has 50 llama bone rings in it, it will still have 50 bone rings that are known to the game and being uniquely tracked if you're using the mod. Generic materials only unclutters lists, it doesn't do anything to mitigate the number of objects being tracked by the game.

And makes the game run drastically faster, since there are far fewer materials. I'm somewhat surprised; you're literally the first person who (I assume) plays DF who can't seem to grasp this stuff.

I like to use my imagination. I'm not such a fucking autist that I need PRETTY! PICTURES! or else I freak out like you.
Why don't you run along now and play that Swedish cuck simulation game, Call of Duty I think it was?
>>146808678
i don't care about pretty pictures and often use my imagination anyways, it's just hard to remember what anything is with ASCII
>>146808954
I take it you haven't been playing long? First it helps to have a nice ASCII-like tileset (ie Taffer), but also you just start naturally recognizing the shapes/colors as whatever they're representing. Just use 'v' and 'k' a lot while you get familiar. I've been playing a long time and still look at what things are most of the time. It's also nice to get a brief description too when applicable.
I think actually the picture tilesets look really terribad. As soon as you make that jump from symbolic representation to trying to visually approximate the thing, you really have to amp it up with animation and loads of individual detail, or it looks like 80's-tier garbage, dumb little pictures jumping from cell to cell on a grid.

>check wiki entry for either ghosts or slabs
>>146815912
Its not well written.
The first time I read it I thought I had to make a large tomb for each dead dwarf.
>>146816003
Slabs are buildings which can serve as an alternative to a coffin in the event that a dwarf's body cannot be retrieved, thus preventing the dwarf from haunting the fortress as a ghost. Slabs must be constructed at a mason's workshop (Alt+slab) and require one stone.
In order to dedicate a slab to a particular dwarf, a slab must be carved into a memorial at a craftsdwarf's workshop by an Engraver (using Alt+s:Engrave memorial slab). The engraver will retrieve the slab and engrave it. After it has been engraved, the slab may be built from the building menu under Alt+s. In order to prevent placing slabs which have not yet been engraved, make sure to expand the list when selecting which slab should be placed.

There's something about 64 bit that stands out to me.
65x65 world, think it was 15k pop cap, lots of sites and civs and shit, usually by the time it gets past 200 years it starts to take several seconds per year, just now it was rolling over at a second a year or less all the way up to 300.

Unless you make a turing capable AI that can interpret the intentions of a programmer then rewrite the entire project using actual coding standards instead of it compiles let's go regardless of the performance cost Toad man will never both finish his dream and have it remotely playable. Volunteers and hell, anyone he brings in is a massive theft risk. And even outside of that, as he's said, the more people you bring in the more time he loses tard wrangling, him having to learn how real programming is done, and bringing them up to speed on a spaghetti abomination that is held together by dried mountain dew. That he can apply much higher mathematics than your average joe is nice but it doesn't matter cause all the shit code he's done in the last decade shits it all up.
>>146768195
And if anyone he's dedicated the source code to in his will shares it they're going to have the same thing I said. They either have to pick the entire thing up and dump it in the trash can or they'll be autists about fixing it up and 90 years later they'll die unsuccessful and the cycle will repeat.

Haven't had a siege with more than like 5 dudes in years since like 34.xx or something. Good to have it again. Shame I had to overextend cause a bunch of miners and haulers were in the bottom of the quarry at the top left and got spooked into the surface. Not seen is about another 30 goblins on the cliffs that we immediately fall off of.
>>146829801
what am I looking at here
>>146753535
Who's the guy in the cape?
>>146830108
Well a force of some 20 trolls, 5 beak dogs, 80 goblins showed up to siege on the 1 tile cliffs on the north.
There's an 80 z-level quarry in the top left that also has the entrance to my fort like 4 z down. Miners and stone haulers were at the bottom of the shaft. I stationed 10 dorfs at the depot entrance above the goat pasture while the bridge was raising and 20 dorfs in the proper entrance to the fort and activated my burrows
Goblins slowly filtered down the cliffs to shoot at rhinos. While coming back from the quarry, some of the miners and stone haulers retarded fled up the ramps and at more goblins instead of taking a right and going down into the fort so I had to move my 20 entrance dorfs to the surface where they were constantly shot at from ~30 bow/marksgobs. Once they were above ground, my marksdorfs were shooting at them causing goblins to occasionally dodge off the cliff to get attacked.
Seeing enemies, more goblins headed to the top right of the cliffs to come down. This slowly drew the melee dorfs that way while marksdorfs stood still, still shooting at and causing goblins to dodge off the cliff but now they didn't have cover.
I sent my depot squad over to provide cover and it helped save most of the marksdorfs for a bit until basic dorf retardation drew them to the cliff entrance where there was a high concentration of stacked goblins and beak dogs. they generally kicked the shit out of the goblins but thanks to force carrying through more, the steel armor didn't do all that much for them so they slowly accumulated breaks, tears and other disabilities until it was a big cuddle puddle of incapacitated dorfs around the ramp up the cliff. I simply didn't have any more military to send to cover them as I still have my pop cap on so I couldn't afford to get more dudes. Then they got ran over by more gobs and now trolls coming down. We killed a bunch but numbers simply won out over 30 mostly master+ dorfs in steel armor.

Yeah. If you're sufficiently busy they rarely pair up and even if they do it's pretty hard to get a tantrum spiral in the recent versions so so what if kids get skewered. If you wanted to minmax, you'd only have them in civilian jobs or safe marksdwarf assignments. After they marry and have a kid you can just chuck the husband in the army.
General dwarf question about what everyone thinks about a certain subject.
Dwarf cooking. Do you think when they're roasting something or smoking something or just generally cooking something, I reckon, that they're complete and precise? I imagine them just splashing some alcohol in, adding in necessary spices, just "measuring" it in their hands.
Now, I know baking is a precise thing (most of the time), and I'm just curious about what you guys would think about it since it's never really brought up in any dwarf... anything.
>>146839157
Female dwarves occasionally carry little meatshields that give them a bit more survivability than the average male.
>>146839652
Hand. Measuring came about as a result of neet casuals who wouldn't help in the kitchen. Hand measure lasted for thousands of years.
Oh god.
Any major changes since introducing taverns and libraries in Fortress mode?
I mean I'm gonna read all the patch notes right now, but a nice short summary would be nice.
>>146840253
Despair is prohibited.
>>146840253
Nothing too major I think.
>>146839660
>>146839472
I would only use male dwarves as soldiers because the females can't keep their stubby little legs closed. HOWEVER, 90% of immigrants have been female and I haven't been able to fill a single squad after 5 waves.
>>146840492
What do legs have to do with it? Dwarven reproduction is like cuttlefish, except with beardlet transfer instead of tentacle bits.
>>146840253
Armor takes damage now, you can assign all sorts of shit through the manager, most of workflow has been implemented into the game now, lots of adventurer shit which spills over occasionally into fort mode, campsites where you can build shit in adventure mode, they're buggy when you put a fort on them though, sadly, as I wanted to use them as a proto-fort in some cases, masterwork trading bug fixed, pain calculation was rejiggered, various other bugfixes.

>>146843472
That's a known bug. Get another dwarf to cut it down, but be careful as that dwarf may get stuck too.
>>146843472
Build a stair or cut down the tree. Stair is safer.
>>146842783

>>146844509
A dwarf having a log fall from one z level above is deadly, now a dwarf falling that far can result in being put through the dwarf medical system which was bugged up until 43.04 because of a fucking typo.

It's still fatal cause they'll gladly fuck off halfway through treatment when they can walk again. Infections sets in and that's that.
Think he's gonna kill himself?
>>146844864
Sounds like using magma is a more ideal form of medical treatment, now only if there was a more safe way to aim for the right limb.
>>146844593
it might as well be official, it's stable as fuck

>>146845937
Get inspiration from real life architecture. Fortresses, medieval city layouts, mesoamerican temples, etc.
Alternatively, look at geometric shapes, patterns, etc.
Put 14 steel armor and leather clothing dorfs in with one were horse. 10 dead, 4 knocked out, werehorse doesn't give a fuck. At least vampire forts were easy.
>>146845937
I do a 3d version of those old wheelspoke towns with the least valued shit on the outermost. Don't worry too much cause it's not a big deal.
>>146845258

Well that was rather fun seeing dwarfs getting killed by an Adamant Lion.
>>146847681
That combat log was beyond horror, the fight just seemed so real apart from the last part with it having to destroy the helmet then the piece under it.
I'm playing a world gen where every single civilization except goblin has been dead for centuries, the land turned into terrible endless badlands for a forever war between powerful reptilian-demons and their endless goblin legions fighting over dirt and dust.
Only for a handful of dwarfs (and the hard-coded two migrant waves) have managed to take what could be the last of true civilization underground.
Without any outside caravans or native iron, the Fortress Duskgrave is essentially a speak-easy. It's architecture intentionally built into the caverns to avoid scrutiny from the world. Using traps and guile to throw off any goblin siege wishing to finally bury the hatchet in the last of their ancient foe.
And the goblins should hope for such a thing, for in Duskgrave something may yet stir to challenge the goblin horde. Armok knows that his faithful are furious and are not content merely to hide forever...Tossing up whether to play the LONG game and build up the population naturally from the 15 or so I will have after the last migrant wave to a 200 strong rebirth. Or just to fucking Solomon option the countryside with red hot magma.

>>146849663

>>146848886
Long game is fine. long as you keep your fps up and the population bored long enough to pair off.
If you have any weapons grade metals you're fine
Otherwise, if you built your entrance right, wood dodge traps into chasms, stonefall traps, 10 xbow traps, bait animals and wood doors to help shit along, and lots of wood/bone bolts from legendary marksdorfs can get you dat fukken goblinite. Obsidian swords will let you shoot up cavern wildlife albeit riskily. If you modded your entity raw to allow bow crafting use bows instead for sword cross-training you're better off. You also have your near guaranteed adamantine. If you're a faggot, some degree of drowning trap/cage traps to strip the first 200 or so goblins/minecart grinder/cave in's to blast goblins into a chasm gets you going.
If you're an absolute madman, you can trap, tame, and breed a fair bit of hunting/war creatures from the caverns and do other shit like the ol' pressure plate cage of 80 cave crocs in a 2x2 room trick.
>>146849663

>>146845258
too bad for you linuxcucks then
>>146853739
Yes.
Its not worth it. All the other ages are inherently less fun.
>>146853739
Yes, but usually you need a long worldgen or low number of beasts. if beasts basically eradicate most of the civilized life in the world early in worldgen, or you have many islands, then they wont be able to be hunted so well, and it will stay in age of myths I usually increase the beasts to 1024 so I'm almost always in age of myth.
>>146852630
Give them iron weapons under uniform
>>146854042
More necromancers and tombs though, and potential for larger cities.
>>146854147
There's no direct correlation.

This. Current year, for more time for someone to get the secret, is more important
>>146854427
Its much easier to just have an adventurer get infected and run in and bite everyone you want infected once on the ear.
>>146854295
There is a correlation, because more time passes, more corpses amass, more monarchs die and have tombs built, and more necromancers are trained.
>>146854715
Then by that metric, I, who enable tomb making on dorfs, kobolds, elves, and goblins should be swimming in towers and yet I only have 2 on a small world with 12 tombs and a bunch of civs. What's your source?

Almost everyone is almost always in the age of myth. It's a bug. It was a side effect of Toady's hacky fix of the attackers-always-win-after-worldgen bug.
The only way I've seen to reliably change ages, even in very long worldgens, is to increase the civ count to an absurdly high number. You'll end up in an Age of X or an Age of X and Y, with X and Y being whichever beasts go on a kill streak first in worldgen.
I wanted to get Towns of Gnomoria but they have both been abandoned.
Am I right in assuming Dwarf Fortress is a better version of those games and I should just play it instead?
noob here. will cutting down a tree provide one log or multiple?
>>146858134
If IRC then you can fight advanced hellmonsters that just pop off armored trained fighting dwarves like popcorn. If you wall off the caverns once open, then a collection of devils and demons sits on the far side of the wall and grinds your FPS to death.
Oh, when did I ever see that 20 years ago?
>>146858560
Get fucked you spineless tit.
>>146858134
First you have to try to find the right location, some places you dig down but it just stops.
If you adventure mode, then walk in to a goblin tower (don't have them kill you) and just walk down the goblin's accessway. to Hell.
Uh fight the devil.

>>146860030
You mean using a cave in to kill them? Well sure but I mean it would be the greatest single combat challenge in the game to fight them so I'd like to see it done sometime.
>>146860141
Eh, it pretty much goes you can outrun them and you kite them 420erryday with bolt throwing, or you can't and eventually you get push exploded. It's even worse in the recent versions cause armor and padding clothing is no longer a safety net against blunt force.

Just read the quickstart guide on the wiki. Follow it as closely as you want, deviate from it at your whim. It will teach you the basics. Use other wiki pages if you need to fill in the gaps. That guide is both incomplete and outdated, and probably shouldn't be in the OP at all.

You'd be surprised how many people say that about the default tileset with a nice color scheme.
Regardless, check out the tileset repository on the wiki, you should find some simple ASCII set with diagonals.
