no. you'll have to put it somewhere else, maybe in one of the rooms that faces the other direction

Do siege weapons work well against the circus?

Incidentally, whichever anon: >>150328224 was talking about, if you don't have any mods, grab a fresh copy of the vanilla game and swap the raw/objects folder into your save, then if you want you can open up data/init/d_init.txt and set the tree/column tile to 255 instead of 10 or whichever it is now.

I've heard of people using candy-coated ballista bolts before, presumably that would have a pretty decent effect. major pain in the ass to set up though, and even if you funneled the clowns down a couple of 3x3 hallways with the triple ballista setup, you might not kill them all before the operators panicked and/or died
catapults are useless

FUCK. I was chillin' exploring a catacomb when this happened. I also know exactly who disturbed the mummer(incidentally the mummy of one of the first law-givers of my civ).

See, the mummy chamber was placed just by the entrance from the temple, so you just had to open one door to reach the mummy. While I stayed clear of it, I accidentally let a few stray cats in when I opened the door. Then this happened. I already see red '!'s in the main hall of the temple, so I'm not expecting a pretty sight.

>>150330905

I got what you meant. The idea was to just make a z-level wide 3tile path filled with ballista. I dunno if I'll have enough candy, but steel plus 3 ballista, then allow them to fire as much as possible. Maybe a second level that does the same, then my normal combat dorfs.

Anyone got some good music to play df to?
Just put new strings on my classical and I'm looking for things with that sort of tone. Thinking of making a few tracks of my own to fit the atmosphere.

Probably cursed one of the cats that woke her and then did the weird glitchy teleport out into the world thing.

If you walk into a tomb and pick something up, you can save and the mummy disappears, but you'll bump into them later out roaming around possibly, so be careful.

I'm so used to that meme that I didn't even notice that what I was reading shouldn't make sense. I visualized a 3 wide hallway. This fucking board...

>>150335523
They're not. You just have to know how to prepare for them. If someone gets infected, you need to know how to use quarantines properly, but that's it.

>>150335752
Before I could deal with the infection, shortly after the fight (could not have been longer than a week) a dwarf transformed on the stairwell and killed half my fortress in seconds

>>150335523
Not really. They're like an early game skill check. If you're getting your shit pushed in by werebeasts you need to improve. Start working on military and passive defenses earlier.

>>150336108

>THE stairwell
If you only have one stairwell, that's a serious bottleneck in your fort layout, and you kinda brought this upon yourself.

>could not have been longer than a week
Nope, it may not be exactly a month(since the transformation lasts for several days), but it should at least be three weeks. You had more than enough time. The transformation dates are the same for everyone.

>>150336562
Every tutorial I've seen from Captain Duck has a central stairwell

>>150336373
It was only a werechinchilla,

>>150336703
I don't know who that is, but from the experience I've gathered through the years I've been playing, having bottlenecks in your layout slows production down, ad the cramped space makes shit like the aforementioned happen.

>>150336926
Could you give me an example of a good design? I always thought vertical access allowed for the least distance between areas.

>>150336562
a 3x3 stairwell spine is so efficent though.

>>150337106
I'm not saying you shouldn't have any stairways at all. I'm just saying that it's better to have several stairways spread out over the fort, rather that having one large ditto. Just having several bigger stairwells is a big improvement.

>>150337149
I put a statue in the middle of the 3x3 stairwell to generate a good thought every step up and down too

They can be disastrous if you let them spread, but all you really need to do is lock up the hospital until, if there's multiple cases, they've killed each other, then you let the militia wait outside the door until the last one turns.

I decided to go with my own solution. Not because I dislike yours, but because I had already fixed minor errors in my own version after posting the one your version was made from. I also prefer having a version for which I still have my original gimp file available(although I could just copy your tiles over).

Good to know, I'm not sure how the ones that fought it got out of the medbay so fast.

This is the layout, I'm not sure how to be more efficient/safe so if anyone that has better designs could share a couple I obviously have a lot to learn

>>150339350
Oh and I'm having serious trouble coaxing the engraver dwarf to actually smooth anything. I had to turn every kind of hauling off to get him to work

>>150339279

For the first level of the pit it's a good idea to dig a channel and leave the ramps so dwarfs can walk in/out while the bridge is being constructed

>>150339279
I dig a channel then build the bridge then remove the ramps facing into the fort

>>150341332
Mods yo, besides that you can use stuff like becoming a vamp necromancer and whatnot.

>>150341467
You don't.

You put coffers in the tavern and temple, and the dorfs will place the relevant items(here mugs and instruments) there automatically, similar to how hospitals work.

Is it possible to found an entire civ as an adventurer?

>>150343586
no

>>150329807
So.

Apparently, I unwittingly embarked into an extinct civilization.

My civ has no leaders in its screen and no outpost liason. I got the first two dorf waves--15 hardy souls all told.

We have settled in a land both gentle and fruitful. Literally fruitful. The place is positively choked with fruit bearing trees of every distinction. Metal is abundant.

I shall raise a grand chateau. I will make this the greatest tavern the world has ever seen. They will know that the Lancers of Gazes lives on.

Will I eventually get one of my dorfs promoted to monarch?

I have some troubles with my stockpiles. Even thought they are flooding with fknished goods and cut gems, my gemsetters cant/wont use the items to do their work. Are my stockpiles bugged? Dorfs also stopped using bins and now all my treasures are spilled one square at a time

>no dwarf caravans, liaison, or migrants for three years

Did they all die or what
The leaders still show up on my civs screen and there's like five of them.

>>150344202
>Will I eventually get one of my dorfs promoted to monarch?

it's likely, yes. I don't know exactly how the game decides when this happens, I've had it happen almost RIGHT at the start before, sometimes it's after a year. occasionally it never happens, I think that means the king is still alive wandering the wilds somewhere, but I'm not sure

there's a small chance your migrants will stop arriving at about 20 pop. not sure what causes that either, if I was to guess I'd say your civ had enough living members (not sites) that it didn't trigger the "totally dead" mechanic that generates a full fort of new dorfs. but I don't really know

>>150339350
Mine usually look like this, lots of branching staircases and ramps everywhere, with rooms build around/between them. usually every industry branches off whatever connection looks like it has enough space and is pretty self-contained with bedrooms, dining rooms, etc...

I usually build a few forts too, one in the soil, one in the rocks, one in the caverns, one down by the manga sea, like little interconnected villages each specializing in something different but mostly self-sufficient. Sorting dwarves into different groups is a pain in the ass, but only when making new villages, sorting new migrants is pretty easy.

It's HELL to remember where everything is and what you're doing(I was building a pumpstack near a dining room, but WHICH dining room? Oh well, I'll just build one here too) which leads to all sorts of half-completed tunnels everywhere and lots of awkward jerry-rigged connections, but that's half the fun.

Invasions are also FUN when you can lose an entire seige somewhere and have no idea where they went until you decide to renovate one fo the wells and 40 goblins pour out of the walls.

So my werechameleon hermit is minding his own business taming some crundles, when this troll comes along and knocks over his craftsdwarf shop. Nobody knocks over Avuz's craftsdwarf shop but Avuz, and only on the full moon. Well, trolls are pretty big, and Avuz wasn't very tough even before he became a werechameleon, so it's taking a long fucking time to kill the troll. I can just hear Avuz muttering to himself "Just you wait til the full moon, buster." while he ineffectually bashes this troll in the head with his -crundle bone crossbow-.

"Any minute now..." It's the 16th of Malachite, only one day to go, and this literal snow ball shows up to join the fight. It doesn't even have an ability. I figured Avuz would eventually die to a forgotten beast, but it looks like it won't be this month. I hope Olnge doesn't make it over until Avuz transforms, the fight will be more fun that way.

It happened again! This time it was a human pikeman in the (again, crowded) barracks, and still no witnesses. I don't mind so long as they don't target my dwarves, but I can't find any info to reassure me that they'll keep killing other guests.

>>150365064
>>150365409

Not him, but the question you asked doesn't mean anything. People have posted in this thread with a bunch of different tilesets, so it's not clear which you mean, if that's what you're talking about at all. They aren't official parts of the game, they're user created content that only changes the appearance. If you downloaded the game a year ago, you should update to the latest version irrespective of any cosmetic changes you might consider.

Does that help?

I decided to where put some control rooms on a whim, and now the halls leading to them have to be asymmetrical to accommodate my plumbing. And I misdug a square, so I'm going to have those tiles visible forever.

That's the Spacefox graphics set and tileset.

Graphics: critters and stuff, in df/data/save/region#/raw/graphics or df/raw/graphics folders, optional.

Tilesets: map and furniture and corpse tiles, text, and so forth, in df/data/art folder, required*.

*Technically not required if you're playing in a terminal in ncurses mode, but you aren't.

>>150367570
I thought of that, but the tile I accidentally channeled out was the access ramp to the next ring up. I would have to expand the entire structure, which would conflict with the plumbing even more. I'm just going to have to accept it.

>Some migrants have decided to brave this terrifying place, knowing it may be their tomb

That happens when enough creatures die, or rarely for no reason. If it was caused by dead creatures, expect a steady decrease in migrants.

Does the order of items in the uniform screen matter? Will things fuck up if I have a uniform set with Cloak-Mail Shirt-Breastplate vs Mail Shirt-Breastplate-Cloak?

>>150372512

It's not indicative of how they will wear their items, for stacking mail shirts and breastplates for example you'll likely need to assign the mail shirts and once they're worn assign breastplates.

Nice caravan you have there. Be a shame if someone cleared it out with a fortune in marble statues of dwarves being hugged by anole women.

Ok guys, i used to play on a pretty shit laptop which forced me to embark on 1x1 embark tiles. Now I have a better pc but I'm used to playing on 1x1. Embarking on 2x2 tiles is enourmous to me now. How do I deal with this, I just want a comfy small fort so most of the space is wasted anyway.

So like, does setting good biomes to 0 fuck up worldgen?

OR

1000 cm3 is roughly 1kg
So dwarvers are 60000 cm in cube or 60 kg on average

A dwarf has 60.000 it's basically volume

>>150379931
Isolate the diseased cells...

>>150381046
just imagine the thing and the size in a real life cube and then spread it with your imagination

you see a giant lion is 1700000cm3, if you imagine a cube like that and spread that shit on a lions body you'll realize they're really fucking big

>>150379226
Live life on the edge fampalampa. I always keep open access to the caverns for my silk weaving industry.

>>150381709

>>150381689

Unless there is a way to carry a bleeding dwarf somewhere and wall him off, I see no way of isolating him.

>>150381709
1700000cm3 is a pretty meaningless number. It's actually about 1.7 cubic metres, which is about what you'd expect from a lion.

>>150379430
I usually get a couple of Forgotten Beasts per year through the caverns... usually easily dealt with but every now and then there's a Hard Shelled Giant Kangaroo with Venomous Breath that kills both my squads :(

Burro(w)s mate. If you want a dwarf somewhere, use a burrow. If he's too injured to go there himself, then he will likely be taken to hospital. Then just wall him off there.

>>150381831
Turn that "Hospital" into a "Hospice", if you get my drift!

>>150381853
A lion is not a cube, that's why I said to spread that in a lion's shape, which is gigantic.

I have a clever idea

is it possible to build two bridges at the entrance, where one blocks the entrance while the other will atom smash the invaders gnawing at the entrance bridge?

>>150382176
Help, please.

>>150383529

one opens inwards, the other outwards. pretty straight-forward

So I cart I pushed stopped on a ramp, of all the places, and it lost all speed. Now what? I used the calculator off the bay12 forums and it showed me that it would go at a ludicrous speed soon enough, but three corners in a row depleted so much speed that not even three downward ramps in a row helped. Damn it all, should have set to guide.

>>150384396
Well the cart was picked up and hauled back to the stop, figures.

Now that that's cleared up, what happens if I change the layout of the tracks between two stops while the cart isn't moving? Will it go the same way it did before, or will it take the shorter path?

It's well known that Toady's going to implement a mechanic for travelling between different "planes" of existance. You know what would be really cool? If some of these planes were located on other celestial bodies.

Since the next major release arc(after artifacts) is going to be concentrated on myth and cosmology, having RNG'd celestial bodies is kinda essential. Using magic to actually visit those planets(all with their own myths and deties tied to them). Of course, the ability to visit the celestial bodies, as well as what you actually find there, should depend on the extent to which myth and reality intertwine in a given world. A higher fantasy setting would mean more visitable planets with more "content" in the form of deities, angels, spirits, ancient races and cities, et cetera.

These new mechanics for generating and interacting with celestial bodies would also give the astronomers something meaningful to do.

Pic highly related. Read Paradiso and get hyped.

How the hell do dwarves climb up trees if they are unable to get down? Is it because of those damn bluejays interrupting their tasks? Should I just cut down all the trees?

>>150385160
>Should I just cut down all the trees?

n-no please don't do that trees have feelings too

>>150385160
>>150329993

Seriously though, Toady stopped the dwarves from climbing except during extreme cirmumstances, such as during fights or if they somehow fall off a ledge. This means that dorfs who get spooked by wild animals will flee by climbing up a tree, and as soon as the animal disappears and the battle ends, the dorfs will be unable to climb down.

So what challenge should i have for my fortress? Please make it something not boring or undoable because i tried to make a fortress with a military of wrestlers but when i went to attack a giant camel they did nothing but bruise it for an entire season. If even a single capable enemy comes by it'll be as if i don't have a military.

>There are creatures that would be the size of a 3x3 map
No there aren't.
One embark tile is 48x48 tiles. Toady's estimate for tile size puts a tile at 2x2x3 meters, giving us 96m horizontally. The largest creature in the game is the giant sperm whale. Wikipedia has sperm whales top out at 20.5m long. The raws give us [CHANGE_BODY_SIZE_PERC:800] for giant sperm whales, meaning they're 8x larger than mundane sperm whales. That gives us 164m for the longest axis of the largest example of the largest creature in the game, which has it fitting inside 2 embark tiles with room to spare. Again, on its longest axis.

That's the most extreme example the game can currently produce, and that's without any tweaking to the estimate of tile size, which is entirely arbitrary and can be changed to accommodate whatever system Toady lands on. It's going to happen eventually, and it will work just fine.

Fucking with the settings can always break worldgen, especially with things that might be affected by two separate variables (weights & final counts). Do research on the wiki/forums, try again with different values, etc.

It's almost like you WANT all your sweet mountainlake worlds get thrown into the trash.

>>150402275
Like I said, the light colors show up better with how the game handles professions, and you need to level your manliness* if you're threatened by a moustache.

*Grow a beard, kiddo.

>>150402597
I actually have a mustache at the moment and am not an ass lord, but there is something very homo erotic about the design. Just my opinion :^)

>>150402323
That makes it even weirder. Why do you have pictures of al gore on your desktop?

"screaming woman spouse" is a kind of night creature I think, look up "night troll" on the wiki

>>150404064
This is correct.

>>150403841
>screaming woman spouse
That's not anyone's wife. It's a man who got kidnapped, raped and disfigured by a monster girl(in this case a "screaming woman"). He became the spouse of the monster girl.

>>150404064

The population cap must be set at embark, or be kept during all times you are playing a specific fort?

>>150406557
>tfw you used to have a huge meme folder full of pepes and spurdos, but then you grew up and deleted it
I still have a dedicated /dfg/ folder that's pretty big, though, although it's 90% screenshots.

>>150404281
Spouse Of The Monster Girl would be a good movie title.

>>150406769
you can change it. might need to restart DF, not sure. adjusting it down when you're over the (new) cap won't eliminate citizens though

>>150406769
In previous versions changes would be set after a merchant visited you.

If the vamp's a guest can I just order the militia to kill them or will that cause loyalty problems?

reminder that if you aren't being sarcastic to every elf you meet, you're playing the game wrong

>>150416879
It can cause some minor loyalty issues if the vamp has friends that are already citizens of your fort. It usually doesn't escalate to a full blown loyalty cascade. Usually.
Most of the time you can murder visitors with no consequence, though.

When i embarked the goblin civs had several red lines on them instead of saying WAR and i looked it up online and several people said that it means you're at war. I finally decided to check the civs screen after i got a bunch of migrants and it says the only nearby goblin civ is at peace with everyone what the fuck.
Also all the people in my dwarven settlements are goblins

>>150426108
the goblins will probably invade within a year or two of you hitting 80 pop, then that screen will change to saying "war"

>>150425961
Edit the raw files to make dwarves accept the devouring of sapient creatures.
Whenever elves or goblins come in just butcher them and server their roasted heads to your children.

I just got a message: "No outpost liaison? how curious..." Except for the obvious part that there is no diplomat, does that signify anything else?

>>150426347
he's dead or your civilization is dying.
in the first case, he'll be replaced, in the second one, no

>>150426347
your civ is (was?) dead (or mostly dead)
if you keep a close eye on the names of the merchants and guards that arrived with the caravan, you'll probably see one of them come back as the outpost liaison next year (or maybe in 2-3 years)

>>150426482
>>150426529
Now I remember, I think I picked a dead civ. What happens if I play long enough with the dead civ fort, then retire it and make another one of the same civ?

>>150426757
it'll be just like playing a normal fort
in fact, your current fort will be pretty much just like playing a normal fort, except for a few years of no outpost liaison, and one of your citizens likely turning into the monarch within the first year or two

Have you appeased Armok today /dfg/?

Someone light the Timbukdrew signal, we need a well-hung Toad pictures, stat!

>>150427021
Reading up on the civ, I see that they were conquered by goblins. Now here is something I don't understand well. It says the goblins have chosen a new king for the civ (looking in the legends viewer). Will I have to bow down to him, or will I have a monarch of my own in some time?

>>150427879
The elves asked me to stop logging, so I killed all my woodcutters using retracting drawbridges and death pits. I then melted their axes down and forged them(using magma powered melters and forges, of course) into statues showing my king prostrating himself before the elven queen. i subsequently offered all of the said statues to the elves, who accepted them and left happily.

>>150428554
if it's your civ that he's the king of, then he's your king already, no bowing down necessary, and no you won't get a monarch of your own

>>150428942
It makes me wanna shank him in adventure mode.

Can I ask you something else? It says that through the init file I can freely set a population cap, but that 80 dwarves are needed to attract a monarch, and 100 for all the features. What are those features that need 100+ dwarves? I was planning to make a tiny 2x1 fort somewhere on the ocean far away from the mountain homes, and then I saw that there are hidden features I don't know about.

>>150429249
not sure honestly. it used to be 80+ for sieges and 140+ for a monarch (to arrive from elsewhere that is, if one of your dwarves suddenly becomes king, pop doesn't matter)
it might still be like that, but I haven't got a monarch arriving through pop increase in ages
I don't know of any other features that are strictly pop-linked

>>150427879
I would wager that more than an artery was opened.

>>150425961
Assign war crundles to your entire militia, as many as you can train.

You can only use cavern wood.

No brewing plump helmets.

Every bedroom in your fort must be collapsible, and if a dwarf is convicted of a crime, they're executed via cave-in. No other justice system.

>>150430448
>Every bedroom in your fort must be collapsible, and if a dwarf is convicted of a crime, they're executed via cave-in. No other justice system.
Shit, this is a good idea. too late to set that up now, but I'll have any criminals sealed inside their bedrooms as they sleep, leave them there and have a slab put up outside it after they die

>>150430448
>No brewing plump helmets.
You're mad, Urist! MAD!
