14 year old fortress, 125 year old default map parameters, 192x192 tiles embark size, 484 dwarves, year 14, 3x3 u/d stairway from top through 3 open caves to bottom, circus wide open and visiting, cavern 1 draining through multiple waterfalls over statues and a 100 block drop into cavern 2, 40+ maximum size stockpiles, inhabited layers almost completely dug out with minimal doors or hallways outside of bedrooms, no atomsmasher, waypoints, no optimizations, no idle dwarves. 6 fps!

...is not a glitch, it shows you your relative skill level. Bad terrain, pain, etc. can reduce your skill level from legendary to accomplished.

>>147213615
Oh! Is this a new feature? I never had this in 42.06.

>>147213678
Its """"""""""""""new""""""""""" in the sense its a part of the new combat system (pulping, observation of forecasted enemy actions, rapid/wild/power/accurate attacks, etc. etc), it was definitely in 42.06.

I recommend just sticking with 43.04 until next version comes out.

>>147214764

I meant 43.03, lol.

>>147212469
Is there a Noldor elf mod that makes them wear adamantine/super strong and fast?
Also how is the 64bit version, is it any better?

>>147215810
64 bit version handles larger ram allocations and whatnot, seemed a bit faster during later years of world-gen, seems faster during high population area visits with adventurers.

is there a thread/page dedicated to hardware that gets the most out of DF?
eg. Should I put DF on my SSD?

>>147222520
Page swaps aren't going to be the biggest hit, it's cache misses from the CPU to RAM that hurts DF, then page swaps from RAM to disk.

reminder elves are so weak they can't even trample grass

>>147215810
Originally elves in Masterwork had mithril as their thing, which is like adamantine lite (steel strength but more lightweight), now he's trying to make it more like a vanilla+ thing; that is, having races be like in the core game but moreso, a la civilizations of FB, titans, night creatures, necros, etc.

>>147232708
I wish night creatures/random generated monsters could replace normal creature populations.

>>147232926
Normal creatures as in civilized or normal creatures as in random ass fauna?

>>147232947
I'd be happy with either.

>>147206034

Or just move, since that's less keystrokes.

>>147234394
Didn't it used to be the case that you could twist weapons to inflict pain? Is that gone now?

>>147233382
Well ok, yeah in Masterwork you can enable/disable whichever races you like, and you can have no goblins, humans, or elves, and just night creatures, necromancers, forgotten beasts, and titans if you like, or what not.

>>147212469
Alright /dfg/, time to step up your game. Make a new fort, it can only export animals and tamed vermin. Animals and tamed vermin, not their products. Not 3689986 dorfbuck roasts of their meat. Not their 25892598 bux egg roasts. Just the animal or vermin.

Theme is you're a band of animal poachers off to get rich selling pets and exotic pets to dwarves in the homeland.

When I get to a new map I build a quick little wooden hut around the starting wagon, then dig a ditch around the map.

>>147234537
yeah, I always see goblins twisting their swords in me, how can I do that?

>>147234537
Is there a way of limiting what's Active in Masterwork?
I tried it once before but didn't really enjoy the billion things it added and I'm too lazy/stupid/busy to mod.

>>147236194
Yes. The new version is much more moderate, and there's a loader that lets you do just that.

>>147236285
neat.

Words fail me.

Is it normal that human nobles have such titles as Holy Cancer and Great Tumor?

>>147236690
Those are probably religious leaders following gods of deformity and disease.

I don't use many crossbow types. Anons, have you ever seen crossbow hits inflict a pulping?

I don't think I have the burrow configurations for madness of this caliber. Try uh, try settling in that valley without a pop cap to reestablish the dorf civ then you can embark elsewhere and get solid migrants to leapfrog around.

>Is it normal that humans have such titles as Cancer and Tumor?

Yes, for that is all humans really are.

>>147238262
One thing that intrigues me is the way that if you abandon a fort, and embark somewhere else with the same civ, you will often see your old derfs as the first migrants.

I'm not a fan of migrants at all but if you have a ded civ you can use this to tailor pick what your two migrant waves will consist of.

Give me strength /dfg/, this Forgotten Beast is being a really sneaky cunt.

Stays in the water just waiting for an opportunity to fuck my shit up. Any Dorf that waltz by gets snib snabbed before shitting back to the water, so I have basically had to mass forbid half the map just to keep Urist McCunt from getting himself killed.
Playing an extinct civ, the last refuge of the Dorfs, I really don't want to lose any Dorfs if I can help it.

I could just wall the fucking lidless fox in, but that is a cowards strategy and he has made a fool out me to the point it is personnel. I can no longer stand to see that thing alive in my unit list.

I've set up a catapult hoping to conker this cock but the dipshit engineer balks whenever it comes that close. Also way too unreliable.

And finally the real reason I can't fucking kill this thing.

2/3

>>147238567
Yeah, it used to bother me too but it's too much work to do a "king's expedition to build a forward base in evil lands". Plus with new combat, half of your superdorfs are gonna get killed regardless.

>>147239247
Just wall it off? Your well will be pulling water with a screw pump through a grate with no path to it from a fortification with a raising bridge shutoff filled cistern.

Do you have an aquifer? Is it a flier with breathes fire? run around the edges of the cavern carving fortifications with 1 tile walkways. Patrol marksdorfs and they'll eventually kill it. Then just pump stack magma into the cavern to boil shit up until you have control of the cavern. Wall up the edges, set traps and a barracks in the border gatehouse and station a squad. Add a lot of wood doors and a bait animal or 3 so you know when your guys get rolled.

Webs. Fucking Webs.
All the Adamantine Armor in the world can't help you if you can't move, and the shit head can break your neck using just the impact force.

Marks dorfs can't hit reliably because it fucks off to water. Melee Dorfs get killed en-masse because it fucking sprays and prays before making the kill. Siege weapons can't hit the bitch and can't trap the cunt because that would require sacrificing someone when I can't afford any more losses.

>>147239745
I just used Masterworks swamp world

>>147239515
Have you tried draining the cavern?

>>147239515
Why not just collapse a few z-levels of cavern above it?

Although personally I would just leave it and build an alternate route around it.

>>147240117
I could do that, but then I would lose the only source of water in the entire map. A barren husk of a wasteland with every city burnt and ruled by Goblins and their Demon overlords.

>>147240147
Yeah, this is another good one. Mine out the roof, channel your plug and assblast it.

>>147240242
It's map edge isn't it? It'll refill. If it isn't, use fortifications to drain it all into a cistern.

>>147240242
How did you generate this world?

How annoyed are you that you did it before Toady's new hostility slider?

>>147240417
He said it was from Masterwork's swamp world.

>>147240332
This is the plan lads, I'm going to throw a rock at it.

And by rock, I mean the ceiling.
Try and web that away you utter knobhead.

I'd recommend fortifications in the wall and pitting a ton of animals but whatever

Bit late for fortifications m8. See how the cunt has cozied up to the side of the caverns there? If I forticate that wall, the whole hall will flood. Whilst sticking a sword in his gut will be a hell of a lot more possible if he is unable to web and swim at the same time, I aint' gunna let him bloody me anymore.

Here is the dropbear package.

>>147240851
If your caverns seriously 1-z high? you got a range of 20 tiles -1 for every z drop.

This must be what the Coyote felt like in a Road Runner cartoon.

The little shit didn't even feel it. Dropped four blocks on him, he didn't budge. Dropped four levels worth of rock on his stupid ass and didn't do shit.

All I learned is he actually really can swim and shot web at the same time. It was a noice shot lads, but we are back to the drawing board.

>>147241718
Drop more is the only answer


> alternatively you can set up a pit zone where the hole is and throw rocks down at him

>>147241718
If it didn't do shit then you missed. Cave-ins are 100% fatal to 99.9% of the creatures in the game. Ghosts are the onlyexception. On account of being ghosts.

>>147241718
You missed then. Cave-in's are pretty much the only way to kill shit like an adamantine FB. Was the plug at least 2-z tall?

Some hapless dwarf I make dig the wall in front of him will make him get dragged down a nice corridor I made special, I'll make sure to welcome him with style with the very best spears and axes engineered to swing at the right moment.

Alright, should I become a vampire first, or a necromancer?

>>147243495
Being a vampire makes becoming a Necromancer infinitely more achievable.

>>147243495
Vampire. If you're cool with savescumming, just topple some shrine statues until you get cursed with vampirism(if you don't see living entities through walls immediately you're a werebeast)

Necromancers will be cool with you if you're undead and basically give you their books, if you try to approach them as a human their minions will attack you.

>>147243495
You can only become a vampire or werebeast if you are not a necromancer. So always vampire first.

Legend everything and even then you should be outrunning and shooting when they're far enough away, throwing when they aren't. You'll get crippled and gangraped or instakilled by a horn gore or hoof kick eventually. If you bothered to train climbing up with macro's, light the grass on fire, set dodge to stand ground, tree yourself, then just keep forcing them to throw themselves off the tree until dawn. Throw bolts or knives when you can.

I love how gobbos, despite their kill neutrals ethic, never attack the non-mercenary visitors in your tavern.

In the first 0.42 releases, where sparring was fucked and sieges actually challenging again, I had my fort viped out at two occations, and both of the times, the gobbos would go into the tavern, cut down all of my dorfs in there as well as any merc who fought back, and just leave the visiting performers alone.

I bet visiting performers are the war photographers of the DF world, and enjoy some kind of diplomatic immunity against invading armies.

A fun thing for adventurer mode is when a human city spawns so that it expands through evil lands, and so the sewers, dungeons, catacombs, etc. are in a reanimating biome. As a result, there's not just bandits in the sewers, but skellingtons!

>Is all the stuff about big updates taking years real or a meme?
It's totally real. Source: I've been here since 2d forts.

>>147274463
Recently Toady has been doing very fast work, but the jump from 34 to 40 (appropriately) took fucking forever.

So strength, as well as eating a lot and doing little (extremely easy for fort denizens, seemingly impossible for adventurers despite eating 100x as much food or more), can increase size via thickening muscle and fat tissues respectively.

Anyone know by how much? What's the most grossly distended cancerous mass of hypertrophic musculature you've seen in dwarfdom, and what was its size?

It takes longer and takes more power to worldgen a world that is larger, but would playing a game in adventure mode be slower on a bigger world as well?

>>147275318
Yo mamma.
Two tiles

>>147275536
No, but certainly the two week pause when starting or stopping a game will take longer.

What determines adventuring mode's FPS is largely pathing issues, cavern size, number of materials/complexity/etc (the alpalca bone thing), how many fuckers are around (there's always going to be a fairly decent amount of creatures wherever you go, as everywhere on the planet there are creatures in the cavern and absolute hordes of demons beneath your feet).

Nah, outpost liaisons die all the time. It doesn't mean anything. You press c to look at your civ's nobles. If there are only a few, or many of them are goblins then you might start worrying.

>>147270654
That doesn't apply to your home civ. They can reach you almost anywhere you embark. Your embark would have to be completely sealed at the map edges or have edges composed entirely of water/magma to keep the diplomat and caravans from coming.

His wording implied that he believed he was experiencing an aberrant worldgen result, which further implies that he would have enough experience to be able to determine whether or not a result is aberrant, when in fact he was expressing surprise and confusion at an incredibly common map feature.

One of my dwarves got bit by a wereantelope. Thanks to the quarantine measures I took, he didn't get a chance to attack anyone else, but now I'm facing the prospect of keeping him isolated indefinitely. Any suggestions on what to do with him?

Also, does he need food and water, or does the monthly transformation keep him alive?

He won't need to eat or drink.
I'm pretty sure they don't go insane either (maybe stress & needs are reset?)

You could use his blood to contaminate your main water source, have all your dwarves turn into werebeatss.
Keep in mind that werebeasts are building destroyers, so you can't really have him work a workshop unless you micro-manage him hardcore.

Other than that: emergency soldier.
Lock him up near the gates. When he turns during a siege, let him loose.

>>147285034
Make a D&D dungeon and have him be a boss. You can drop dwarven "adventurers" into the dungeon and have them progress room by room via levers and bridges.

That explains where his bed went.

I guess I could have him grind out rock crafts or something, rebuilding the workshop every time he trashes it.

One last attempt to off him, if he manages to somehow swim upstream from the burning inferno I will directly drop him into I will let him live.
Out of sheer begrudging respect for the Forgotten Loony Tune

Hell if I wall him off he might add to the fortress defence. He already kept my fisherdwarfs safe from the Amphibian Men starting shit and shooting blowdarts from the trees.

He only went berserk and openly hunted for me when I tried burning him, so I'll let him stick to that one wall he likes so much and let him have his peace.

Just accept the losses and move on.

Usually I would m8, but I had too much fun fighting this fox. Some rounds I won but it was unsatisfying cheap exploits, other rounds he beats the odds and massacres everything once poked.

I'm going to see if I can build a fortress that uses a forgotten beast as its main defense. I'll try digging a hole to the surface and letting the bastard loose on the Goblin dominated world.

Seriously though Toady even put it in as a need, how do y'all even think it will work out in game? Honestly I can imagine NPC love adventures as being great to read in Legends. Like Romeo and Juliet type stuff.

What made that fight even more awesome/awful was that it happened underwater.

Quick newfag question about corpses and stockpiles. What's the difference between Corpse stockpiles and Refuse - Corpse / Body Parts stockpiles? Im try to make it so fresh animal tides and corpses are taken near the butcher while only rotting corpses are take to the refuse pile but im not sure which pile is which. Also i looked up the wiki and it wasn't really specific.

I wonder if I can get a brawl in the ocean at this point. Can Forgotten Beasts raise their skills like everything else? Because at this point Lithème would be more fish than fox.

Corpses is for like dwarves, goblins, etc.

>Spend 10 ingame years trying to get out of crippling debt after a quest-giver betrayed you
>Spend 20 ingame years trying to escape dungeon after getting caught
>Find and strangle the guardsmen who locked you up

Two quick, dumb questions.

First, after the big update that added taverns and all that junk, was there a change to how farming is done? Let me expand by asking how the fuck do I feed my dwarves? I started with a TON of seeds. I figured some would be wasted when they were lower skilled. But 4 seasons in, even with decent growers, my seed count is dwindling.

Do plants replenish seeds or am I just dumb?

Second, is the image on starting a military in OP still up to date? I want to get one going the right way.

>>147312049
Brewing and eating plants will naturally bring back more seeds than the ones you planted, eventually you will have more than you know what to do with.

ESPECIALLY ALL SEASONS PLANTS LIKE PLUMP HELMETS.

The only way to lose seeds is to cook a meal with the plant, which you will end up doing naturally just to get rid of the horrendous surplus.

Farming isn't complicated, a few simple plots can keep a fortress of hundreds satisfied. What you might want to do as you get woke is start mixing up their diet and introducing new industries of cheese etc to bring happy thoughts.

Military image is fine, use it and learn it.

>tfw no updated dwarftherapist yet

If Today gets around to automatons as part of this series of major updates, do you think he'll update night creatures/necromancy to include those "constructed/altered" undead/monsters he mentioned as part of his greater night creature plans?

What do you think will come next after all this artifact/creation/early magic stuff? Boats or starting scenarios?

>>147309578
>Can Forgotten Beasts raise their skills like everything else?
Everything else can't raise their skills. Only creatures with [INTELLIGENT] or [CAN_LEARN], which excludes forgotten beasts and most other creatures in the game.

I know Toady wants more than just "a sword that burns stuff" for magical artifacts but I wonder what we'll see.

A floodgate that turns all water that passes through into clean, potable beer? A helmet that grants constant martial trance status in combat? Earrings that let you fly? A mug that turns its contents into easily-spilled magma?

>>147313278
You have good ideas. I like you.

>>147312639

I don't think he'll get to flesh golems etc in the "first pass"

Boats.

Oh yeah and talking artifacts, that'll be interesting.

Warhammer style "demonic" sword or crossbow that tries to drive its wielder to murder.

A chair that swears, constantly.

An instrument that can double as a singer in a performance.

>>147313278
> A mug that turns its contents into easily-spilled magma

I'd like to combine your ideas with the "you don't know what an artifact does until you try it" idea.

>>147313278
A sword that hurts you.
A helm that hurts you.
A tome which teaches spells, all of which are variations of "A Spell That Hurts You" unfortunately.

Still it would be cool to have some typical magic. Like ability to spray fire out of your hands and burn down a forest retreat or city, etc.

Gloves that allow you to never lose hold of your weapon, motor nerve damage will cause any held items to be permanently stuck in your magical, vice-like grip.

>>147313645
That's too conventional. Try the ability to spray fire out of your nose or something.

>>147313645
That'll probably be inevitable, but Toady clearly wants to do more than that. I don't know how he will, or if he will manage it, but that stuff will probably be in regardless.

>>147313772
Magical status/augmentation/spell that causes your spit to turn into a different liquid, like a disease-carrying FB reagent, venom, gnomeblight, or magma.

>>147313902
That's easy enough to do now. I've already got flammable spit by accident (dragons don't spit, so you don't notice that their body fluids are flammable unless deliberately kept from being so... )

Oh snap, I think I'm gonna make their blood flammable, hacking into a dragon and having blood spurting out hot enough to melt copper? Fuck yeah!

Since we saw all those fairies and whatnot with magic powers, it would be cool if you could like slay them and make a potion out of their blood or something mixed with like some other rare ingredients, and then gain some of their powers.

Is there an artfag that can help me get a boarder around the normal dig designation tile that doesn't look like shit in this tileset? I like everything else but I like being able to see a grid when I lay out designations. Sorry that this is a literal retard tier request.

>>147276024
What color scheme is that?
>>147301814
Can you draw a comfy scene of a dwarf fishing in the caverns with his beard?

>Yeah, no death at all. Use of the attack button in adventure mode removed, etc. We were thinking of intermediate setting(s) where wars and attacks against intelligent critters would be off, but e.g. hunting and butchery would be permitted, so you could still do the ranch-fort thing without worrying about wars or extortion or whatever.

If he isn't a hardened dwarf, you'll need to get him a bedroom, dining room, temple, and the other basics with exceptional+ quality furniture so he's crazy happy.

What about a talking sword/mace that hates violence and cries at the sight of blood? Maybe it could have a healing bonus, meaning it helps to repair the people it touches.

What about a healing artifact that heals people so hard they grow extra limbs, heads, organs and tumors all around their body, eventually suffocating in their own ever expanding mass? Make it an instrument, and anyone within a certain radius who listens to the performance begins to heal endlessly. Maybe make it like that one SCP, have everything from bacteria to plants grow and evolve at an incredibly fast pace until they overtake the whole area.
