Very cute artstyle IMO.

How stable is the 64 bits version ?
What about Dwarf Therapist and DFhack 64 bits versions ? are they stable and playable too?

7 year in, after a goblin siege.
I finally pump water in but because a problem with the mechanics the magma is going to take a little longer. Next step is to breach the cavers and wait for the grass to grow, I hope the lag spike don't be too much.
Apart from furnish the rooms I don't really know what to do next, any suggestions?

Constructed walls drop the materials unless connection is severed in one chunk, natural stone walls (or ice walls as I used for my no-dfhack sub-magma constructions) fall as a solid block and end up sitting where they land (unless they melt) with the liquids displaced on top of them.

Dropping one through a gap which it is tall enough to fill:

[] < \
[] <-- solid block
[] < /
.. <- gap
~ < \
~ <-- magma or water

Should give:

~ <-- magma or water
~ < /
.. <-- open space
[]
[]
[]

Though I can't recall exactly if it worked as well as I hoped because I don't remember how tall I made the block/gap.

Hmm. I'm not sure if magma and water follow the same rules. pic related is what I did.

You usually put a > before quoted lines after clicking the post number to link it.

>not sure magma and water follow the same rules
They do except water pressure can force water up a U-bend but can't do the same with magma.

What you did will just teleport the water under the block on top of it.

You want:

I'm getting a bug where my adventurer, that I coronated a Baron, left the capital (read baron of Healedvessel in picrelated) and enabled the Outpost Liaison to repeatedly declare my realm elevated. Every single time. And is this even worth reporting without expecting it to be reassigned to an existing post?

>>171897557
I haven't had any crashes, though I just moved over the other day.

I haven't tried many of the dfhack features though. I'm basically just using it for its manage labors feature.

Therapist seems to work fine, though again I haven't done much with it yet.

>>171908608
Very impressive, mate. That feature which lets you see z levels below really helps with this fort.
I only just discovered automine ore, so I'm kind of playing around with more organic looking forts. So far the hardest thing is letting go of efficiency. Style is more satisfying.

Really makes you think

>>171909283
https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases/tag/0.40.24-r5

The latest one on github is a beta release for 43.05. Don't want to get your versions mixed up.

Is 40.24 the latest df you've played? Some cool stuff has been added since then (probably, I can't be bothered checking)

>>171909303
Yeah it's a pretty interesting naming scheme the creator came up with for his non-square set lol.

>>171909093
The problem that I have with automine is that you need to find a vein first so you need to create a corridor to it which inevitably will make it look less natural, is better to create your own "caves" and work from there

>>171909740
Definitely. Mouse control is pretty important for that. Keyboard designation would make me want to kill myself.

The couple of days I've used it I've really come to like automine though. Beforehand I'd been using dfhack's digv and it always felt kind of cheaty being able to see exactly where the vein was before mining it.

>>171909665
Oh damn I thought 40.24 was the latest, I've had it on my computer for a year or so and just got back into it

>>171909919
Oh man, welcome back. There's been a ton of improvements since then. Newest version has 64bit support, and I think we're getting magic in the next release.

>>171909919
Yeah, you're waaaaay out of date, like a couple of years.

>>171909665
It's the GemSet guy and he's had nonsquare sets the whole time, I used to swear by his old 32x48 text set before I saw his 24x36 vector set.

It's vector_square because the proportions of the letters are square based, rather than having rounded or tapered sections.

>said 24x36 set

>>171911839
Looks good. Discovering the vector set has made me want to get a bigger monitor. 16x24 seems to be the best tile size for fortress mode in 1080p and combine with a nice color scheme just looks amazing, but imagine the tile size you could use on a 4k monitor?

I would literally buy a 4k monitor for dwarf fortress.

Why are you even on /s4s/?

>>171912698
extremely bored of everything, but not sleepy enough

>>171912397
16x24 is the largest native set on a 1280x720 (so basically what you want on a 1366x768 which would really be like 17.something by 25.something) while 24x36 fits 1920x1080 at 80x30 tiles, you could technically go to like 24x48 but it hurts my head to look at. Up on a 4k you could pull off a 48x72 nicely.

>>171912564
Let us know if they make anything good, least they got the classic version with the beard.

>>171912786
Hmmm, I'd rather have more stuff on screen than the standard 80x25 windowed view offers. Full screen on my 1080p monitor gives me 120x45 which to me feels like a solid trade between nice big crisp tiles and game resolution.

That said, I'm going to fire df up with 24x36 and see how I like it.

>>171913154
The 16x24 is a nice choice for fort mode, but the 24x36 will scale down cleanly even with the game's scaling.

>>171912786
>>171913154
>>171913427
aren't those kind of big? I use 16x16 on 1600x900 and think sometimes it's kind of big too, depending on what i'm doing

Yeah that can happen occasionally.

I usually give my dwarves axe skills and bring along some axes for them to use.

Took me ages to realize that you really don't need to invest much in your starting dwarves skills. Just pump the things that take ages like mining, combat and farming and let them learn the rest through experience. Then spend the rest on bringing cool items and animals with you.

>>171918742
>How likely is that?
It's one of the most constant threats. You can always count on werebeasts.

>Is this something I should prepare myself for in future runs?
Yes. This is why you'll want to get a good militia together as soon as possible, as well as a burrow where you can evacuate your civilians when one arrives.

>>171919380
>You can always count on werebeasts.
Not if you mod them out :^)

>>171919431
You can't "mod" them out, because they're hard-coded into the game.

You can, however, use advanced worldgen to generate a world with no werebeast curses, and thus no werebeasts.

you choose whether you want to kill the necros or not, but if you do, make sure that they don't escape and find the corpse pile behind the tower

>>171927079
Bait the zombies out, kill them one by one, keep kiting them away from the tower, out of the range of the necros if possible. Keep killing them and then enter the tower and kill more in the same way.

If you pulp them they can't be resurrected.

How efficient is putting clothing, like capes, in the military uniform? And do they conflict, like put one and can't put the breastplate over it or something? I usually just have my dwarves replace all their clothing with the armor because most of the time they put something below and so can't equip the whole uniform.

>>171945517
>>171945725
It doesn't matter what weapon you assign you assign your hammered. If they're in a squad and assigned a weapon they won't use it. Instead they'll drop, seek out an unused hammer, and use that instead. If they can't find one they won't carry out the punishment. It's the fort guard squad that can use their assigned weapons for punishments, but their responsibility is punitive beatings, whereas the hammerer carries out formal "executions".

>>171948279
You can assign capes if you want. They use the outer layer, which isn't used by normal armor and doesn't have any pieces with the [SHAPED] tag.

the dwarf will always tire slightly faster than most dwarves and will always be slightly stronger than most dwarves. if you had a standard peasant with no stat descriptors, they'd end up being an "average" super-dwarf eventually.

Is a balm of power modded? What does it do?

I'm burning through seeds soon I won't be able to plant anything. I don't know why and don't know how to figure out why

>>172008176
Do you have lots of caged animals? Your dwarves could be feeding them plump helmets and the seeds are sitting in their cages.

Don't know if that's common but it happened to me once.

the depth of DF has almost no limits, really impressive that this kind of thing is implemented

>>172008948
I have a plethora of stray animals

>>172010097
I don't think that's it then.

I don't know what to tell you, mate.

Why don't you find them with the stocks screen and look at where your dwarves take them?
Also: Are you sure they didn't just plant all of them?
Maybe your growers are shit?

>>172008176
stop cooking plants. you dont get any seeds back that way.

I'm a massive noob and am having trouble googling this, what do the flashing red capital Cs mean?
Also I dug out the ground beneath those bushes at the bottom half of the picture but the ground is still there, if you dig out dirt blocks and the floors above them are still there how do you remove kebab?

>>172011792
youre in the designation menu, and that marks the top of constructed walls.

>>172011792
On the layer you are on right now:
[d]esignate - c[h]annel - select kebab

Oh, yeah, it's just part of my old > kill monsters > extract something from their heart > eat it and get super buffed
>collect the whole set and make a capstone buff that pushes you right up against the hard strength/speed/etc caps

Drop the namefaggotry but keep drawing, it's almost like a middle ground between ninedots and drew!

So first game of adventure mode not sure what im doing so I ran to a goblin burrow and now I realize ive spent the last hour torturing gobos to death by cutting them apart piece by piece. And im loving every second of it.

Just wait when it's all gets fully integrated into the game. Right now it does practically nothing, but when it's placed correctly alongside with the other ingame gears it'll be absolutely incredible. Endless possibilities, countless outcomes. And the next magic update will change everything.

>>172014436
Anyway I can heal people ive hurt? I just cut off the feet and eyes of a gobo and I want them to live.

>>172012537
whoops, my bad had left it alone from my last posting.

Ill be sure to keep it up and frequent here more often.

Do you do everything in mspaint? You could download some free art software, it could make your lines more aesthetic.
