I have a dwarf with a fey mood, but hes just sitting in the meeting hall and not moving.

I checked his skills, and hes a legendary weaver so I built a loom, but still no dice - he just stands in the meeting hall.

I'm worried he might go mad soon.

>>154861106

Noob question here, How do I stop a dwarf from fishing?
I disabled Fishing in his labors. But this little bitch still ran away to some water.

>>154866729
Washing? Drinking?

You're not out of booze are you

>>154866859
I just started the game, disabled fishing and assigned him to mining. Designated some mining areas and unpaused, yet first thing he did is run away.

>>154867014
You do have a pick, yeah?

Are you sure he's equipped with one and not someone else?

>>154867086
But even if he isn't equipped with one, why wouldn't he just idle instead of run away? Or are dwarfs doing whatever they want part of the game?

>>154867257
No, in my experience the designated miners always take off and mine.

>>154867257
>no pick
>no fishing allowed
>no other job

Well what do you expect him to do? Just stand in place and wait for you to learn how to play?

>>154867014
If he already had the fishing job queued up then he'll complete it before going to do anything else (or it gets cancelled for whatever reason). If you want you can manually cancel it by highlighting him in the [u]nits screen and pressing [x] (although I just tested it on a fisherdwarf myself and it seems you can't manually cancel fishing jobs. Still, you can typically cancel a job you don't want done by doing that. It's saved countless dwarves from trying to load cage traps I forgot to forbid during sieges in my forts.)

>>154861953
>never built a tanner's shop
Never had hunters before?

>>154868646
Yeah, that strikes me as weird too. I always used tanner and leather shops for my civilian squad gearsets to keep a minimum top/bottom/shoes on everyone between changes of rotting clothes.

>>154868646
>>154868910

Nope. I get by just fine on fishing, and I don't like my dwarfs wandering around - I like being able to build underground passages to walled-in fishing spots to make everything nice and secure.

If I have a tough seige, I can probably hold out for at least 2 years without any of my dwarfs leaving the secure areas of my fort.

Sadly this is true.

What would make a better hammerer, an elf or a goblin?

I have both in my fortress thanks to the tavern and after my current regular hammerdwarf beat someone to death despite being weak I realized it's not going to cut it.

Well, who do you want delivering potentially fatal beatings, the sadist or the cannibal?

>43 citizens

>>154875098
It won't matter. You need to make a really light hammer and ensure that it's the only one available for your hammerer to choose if you want people to survive hammerings. A weak guy beating you with a sledge hammer is still going to kill you.

Why the dwarfs don't pray to the player?

>>154877518
How do I ensure it's the only hammer available?

Put him in a room with it when I assign him the role?

>>154880327
Forbid/sell/destroy the rest that aren't already equipped. If he can't path to both the hammer and the person he wants to whack with it then the job will either not trigger at all or will cancel if it's already started.

see >>154884851

Cut gems have a base value of 5. The highest tiers of Diamonds and the Star Sapphire and Star Ruby has a value of 60. This results in 300 value per cut 'rare' gem.
Ammo itself has a base value of 1 PER BOLT, meaning the majority of its value comes from its quality*material values. steel masterpiece bolts are 30*12 = 360. The usual stack of ammo is 25 per metal bar.
360*25= value of 9000 for a stack of masterpiece steel bolts

Now, encrust even a few rare gems with a value of 40 or greater, and the value just goes crazy.

Not that there's much point to this.

All my dwarves are fairly happy, there's no lack of anything in the fort, yet I keep getting infighting messages. One of my hammerlords just punched a farmer through the skull and killed him, so at this point I have to wonder if this just happens as forts age, or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm still pretty new.

The killer has a thought about giving out a punishment, so I imagine something along those lines. Does this just randomly happen past a certain population, like sieges? I've never had it happen before, but I've also never had a fort last this long.

>>154896585
>Does this just randomly happen past a certain population, like sieges?
No. Tavern brawls are a thing, and they will sometimes turn deadly, but that's not what this is. If there's a thought about punishment, then the farmer broke a law (probably violated a mandate) and the soldier was applying the proper penalty.

>>154900197
The captain of the guard and its squad is also responsible for the dispensation of justice. Beatings are administered by them and are a step down from hammerings, but both are often fatal. You can avoid most beatings by having chains or cages dedicated to your justice system.

>>154902071
I refrained from setting up a jail because I was told to make sure your dwarves don't forget to feed prisoners and have them die, you're supposed to set up small stockpiles of food and drink around them. Whenever I make a food stockpile away from my dining area, dwarves end up walking from as far as possible to eat at the new stockpile, so I don't bother with it anymore.

They can if they're members of your fort. Caged grazers will starve to death and caged citizens can both starve and dehydrate if they aren't tended to. Creatures that aren't members of your fort don't have to eat or drink whether they're caged or not.

Depends. If he gets out of hospital quick, you can just lock him into his room and wait a month. If he stays I the hospital too long, just lock the hospital door. One month is not enough to starve them to death, and if they don't turn, it's safe to release them.

Just remember to station some soldiers outside the door in case he does turn.

Really? Something similar happened to me back in 0.31.

I had soldiers whose flesh had completely rotted away, but that didn't kill them. But I don't remember them being immortal.

Human caravans keep walking into my Depot, do the setting up animation for about a second before immediately departing and exiting the map.

The depot is accessible, I'm not at war with them, and it doesn't happen all of the time. Sometimes they set up and we successfully trade, other times they do what was previously stated.

Anyone know what's up with this? It's not that big a deal because the dwarven and elven caravans still work perfectly, just not the human ones. Anyone else ever experience this problem?

>>154944751

That and golems will need some tweaking on how material layers are calculated. A creature with steel tissues for skin and bone and such work fine, while a steel colossus is easier to shatter pieces and clip them off.

I got three beds done, that's it.

Do necromancer sieges go on forever, or do they get bored and go home after a while?
Also, any easy way to get rid of a necro siege?

>>154950231
I'm presuming you have no picks, and thus can't make shit out of stone?

>>154950231
Well three beds should be enough to hold you out until autumn

Dig until you hit stone, then look for gems and build a craftdwarf workshop to make stone crafts.

You can then trade for an axe with these. Use stone jugs for booze and storage, they'll take forever to move but shouldn't be to bad with a small fort.

Once the caravan comes trade for cheap copper axes, they sell for barely anything so even with just a few rough gems you should be able to trade for one.

>>154950994
No, I do have picks. Two in fact, but the aquifer is two levels down and I can't get to stone.

yes. they can't get inside, but they've killed all of my grazing animals and doggies
now they're just roaming around, murdering forest animals and goblin bards

there's no way I can beat them in a straight up fight, since I have basically no weapons or armor (I guess I can make some out of copper)
and they're very strong in numbers

>>154950859
Honestly necro sieges are pretty easy unless they bring an absolute huge amount of zombies or your fort is still young.

A novice wrestler can easily kill most necromancers, but will not be able to kill zombies without weapons.

If you have weapons it's as difficult as any other siege, just make sure to kill the necromancer first.

>>154951716
If you can't get to the necro, dig a big ass hallway and either line it with traps, or dig a big pit and put a bridge over it. Open the hallway to the enemy and make 'em run the gauntlet to then face your ramshackle military, or trap all the zombies in a big hole and go beat up the necromancers.

>>154951841
my fort's still in it's first year, and the zombies are almost as many as my dorfs
I could make weapons out of copper, I also have a magma pool in the first cavern layer, so I guess I could try weaponizing that?

I've encountered a weird problem that I can't seem to find any info on.

I expanded my tower to be taller and edited the patrol route to reflect this, however the soldiers simply refuse to patrol to the top of the tower (pic related). They simply sit at the previously highest level of the tower where the route ended before editing it. I tried cancelling and re-issuing the order, I tried cancelling it and then creating a new route and issuing them that, I tried creating a route just for that top level, nothing. It's accessible from both sides, if I station them manually they'll get there no problem. I have made no changes otherwise.

This feels bugged.

I don't think I've ever had links to stairs in any route, the dwarves have always managed to path to them just fine. This is the first route that's caused any issue for me. The previous route this one is replacing spanned multiple z-levels as well with no problem. That's only 6z levels off the ground (nowhere near the top of the map).

Try disabling multilevel view and using a printmode other than TWBT.
If that doesn't work, disable dfhack functions until crashes stop or just disable dfhack entirely.
If that doesn't work then your crashes are caused by a vanilla issue.

All of .42+ releases have been very stable. TWBT is notoriously associated with crashing issues. Dfhack itself isn't, but it's the most likely candidate after that. Nothing else that LNP does has the potential to crash DF, it's just a launcher and init editing gui. There are many unresolved vanilla crashes, but most players won't be affected by them consistently.

So I had the good fortune to capture a mud man in a cage trap, and decided that it would be a cute idea to chain it in my library tower, like it was a magical golem or something.

However, as soon as the mud man was chained, it immediately attacked a visiting human scholar that walked next to it. The wiki says:

>Hostile creatures on restraints will no longer be aggressive to dwarves

So is that working as intended? The mud man will still attack any non-dwarf that comes near it? Just wanna confirm that this behavior is not a bug.

>>154966453
In fortress mode, obviously it would just change the dwarves behaviors, thoughts, etc. It would probably just be a trial and error type thing if the effects/substances are randomly generated, otherwise it would be easy to tell. Adventure mode would be way more interesting IMO

Might, I know I had to stop shouting by mistake when trying to pray because I'd turn a half dozen birds into histfigs and have to track them down because they annoyed me.

Fair warning, make sure you can fly or be prepared to climb past magma and shit pouring into the hole left by the spire.

Thanks man, I have to say I really enjoy your stuff too. I'm sure someone else has said this, but it reminds me a bit of Quentin Blake's stuff, in all those Roald Dahl books I used to read.

This is a modern thing. ("""Modern""""=after middle ages). Toady said many times that he doesn't want to go past high-ish middle ages. With the probable exception of botes, moving fortresses, magic and other fantasy shit.

I get this often because they have to walk past lots of dead invaders - they get spooked and the caravan gets destroyed in the process

Drugs as in related to global politics, trades and control. There wasn't enough people in the world to do the things you said.

This guy walks up to your fort claiming he's a scholar and wants to check out your library.

What do?

>>154972526
I'm bummed that I understood every word you just said and remembered the exact scene you're referring to

I need some help on irrigating.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Irrigation

So I designated a pit/pond zone. So how do i get them to drop water in in it?

>>155010261
nvm, i found it.

>>155010085
Into the pit he goes.
Not risking another werex infection.

>>155011252
>he fell to the "migrants bring were-diseases" meme
literally only the case if you've abandoned a werebeast ridden fort in the same world

So I found this nomad camp where almost all of the "bandits" are recruits, and where several of them are hist figs and have past honest lives.

I wonder if this is actually one of those refugee camps. Curiously, their leader seems to have different values than most of the people in my civ, which is strange, because i though my civ was the only civ inhabiting this island.

>>155011252
Makes more sense if you want to be sure he is not a vampire

I haven't played the game since about last May/June, was anything important or nice added?

I know he's been working a lot on adventure mode, but I'm more interested in fortess stuff.

Come on guys, there are more interesting implementations.

Adv mode:

creatures randomly appear to be other creatures
Tiles swap for other tiles, trees appear to be speaking, rivers rushing out of nowhere
People seem to be attacking you but they actually aren't
Imagined horrific wounds - occupants of a village all have their guts hanging out or eyes removed
Imaginary requests to slay people
You have the ability to fly! Or not, as you find out after jumping off a tree

Hallucinations have interesting possibilities. Simple things like mood modification and pathing irregularities is easy.

>tfw your adventurer realises that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

How to get out of dwarf fortress as an adventurer?
It is a fucking maze.

>>155013851
it would be even cooler if the player were able to see floor constructions(like bridges) where there are only open spaces, and if they become able to walk of ledges without using the careful movement command

of course, that would be cooler once the worldgen buildings become more detailed, and we have things like balconies and open windows

>>155014202
first find the central area, where dorfs are chilling in large halls. from there, you should be able to fast travel upwards and arrive at the entrance

>>155010081
Fair enough, but those could be used at a smaller scale in DF, as there are enough people in a medium/large world for it to work

>>154980847
When you build a construction or building using a bar it continues to appear in your stocks screen. Turning bars into blocks before using them in thise applications keeps your bars list from being inflated by "in use" items, transferring that to the blocks list instead, which going to be so inflated in 99% of forts anyway.

>>155014412
Well, i used "Travel" and finished somewhere in the caves. I guess it makes things more complicated.
And the large hall with dwarfs(and goblins, and humans), also packed with tons of goods; there were stairs only to next level full of bedrooms.
