Do rock mugs count as 'goblets' for purposes of stockpiles? If so - do my dwarves just not care enough to move them to the correct location?

Backup your save and get a fresh install of DF.

how do you find metals? I'm digging down 40 levels now and got nothing but a cavern with gemstone-tier shit

>>172105203
Was your embark in a area with shallow metals (multiple) and/or deep metals (multiple)? not all places are rich in metal;

>>172105820
I know shallow for a fact

Is anyone else deathly afraid of the ocean in df? I just hate the idea of a giant sea monster rising from the dark depths to eat you.
>>172105967
Depending on your embark, you might of embarked on an area overlapping a section with metals and a section without. Try digging all over the area instead of just a small section, as you might be digging in the area that is the one without metals

>miner died of deyhydration, was moved into the hospital zone without even being put into a bed, multiple crutches and splints were made, none were given to her. With splints set or crutches she could have gotten food and water. Nobody brought her crutches. Nobody set the splints. Nobody gave her food or water and she died panicking in terror lying on the floor next to a bed as all the dwarves walked by her for weeks.
idk what I could have done to save her, v-p-l wasn't working R I P. She dreamed of making masterworks.

Is there a standalone equivapent of the Accelarated module from Modest mod and the similar one from Masterwork?
Many types of material are fused into one (all kind of leather > leather) and it improves performance

Sea monsters are a thing, but they're aquatic and thus no danger to (usually) landlocked dwarves. Now if you happen to be on an embark with husking/thralling weather over the ocean then you're fucked if one of them shows up.

How do I make my dorfs butcher the titan corpse?

>>172126069
1. make sure that the titan is made out of flesh. this is usually the case, unless a different material is explicitly mentioned.
2. make sure that the corpse is within range of a butchery. for heavy corpses, it might be more effective to set up a temporary butchery just next to the corpse.
3. after that, the butcher job should be added to the shop automatically. if it doesn't, try to add it manually.

>>172126471
Problem is no one is going to gather the body.
And the stockpile has both refuse - corpses and corpses enabled, it works for everything else.

>>172126560
the body is likely out of range.

you either have to use dumps or stockpiles to get it closer to the butchery, OR you just build a temporary butchery next to the body. the latter is more convenient, since you won't waste time on hauling it.

They store clothing in them.

Does it make a difference to my dwarves if I don't let them practice some of their dumb little side hobbies?

I have a legendary miner who also is apparently a jack-of-all trades kinda guy (fish cleaning, weaving, clothesmaking, woodcrafting) and I kind of just want to turn all those labors off because I want everything neat and organized and placed in nice little boxes. He's still going to be reasonably happy because he's a legendary miner who gets to mine pretty often, right?

>>172149808
Cabinets are one of the most important pieces of furniture in the game.

Unless you want old clothes to fill up the bedrooms and eventually overflow into the corridors, you better make one cabinet for each bedroom.

>>172149808
Cabinet and coffers, not just one of each.

Hey friends I don't play in a long while, think since the .34 days. How do you enable a job for a dwarf? I'm trying to view it with v or k and I'm sure I was able to do so back then using one of these keys, but there is no menu to allow a dwarf to start doing a job he isn't trained for.

Because i'm bad at this game and coming back after a long break from df, i was neglecting building proper defenses for my fort.

Currently have 62 Citizens, of which are 5 Swordsdwarfs, 5 Macedwarfs, 4 Marksdwarfs, and 4 Axedwarfs.

All of which are ill equipped and skilled to deal with something like this. They have iron weapons but not full gear yet

My plan is to burrow everyone and seal the entrance, and re-route my fortress entrance with tunnels of traps and bridge 'airlocks'

Does anyone else have the problem that adventure mode just gets unfun after awhile?
After racking up over 900 kills, there's not a lot more than you can do, or is there some other challenge? Losing half hour limbs and still being able to murder a hydra with a crutch is just boring.

Toady has said a couple of times in FotFs that he didn't want magic to be something you could industrialize, or at least not in most circumstances. Conceivably there will be some high-fantasy worlds where that isn't the case, but as a general rule it probably won't be possible.

They were attacked on the world map but due to a bug got teleported dead to your fort.

How can I make sure my world is choc full of evil murderous creatures like Dragons, Rocs and Titans that will challenge my dwarves?

i get bored without conflict, I need something to fight. I had one save where I captured a dragon, but I really haven't seen one since, and that was like four years ago.

I always go to play DF but then get lost in perfect world for far too long, never quite getting what I want.

Increase in wealth, or go adventurer and destroy civs so megabeasts can survive.

>>172193414
"Armok, the God of Blood, is just about the only constant in these chaotic random universes. A general sense of conflict keeps Armok appeased - when the universe becomes too boring it is set on the anvil of creation to be reforged."

"The destruction of the world by Armok will arise inevitably in most game worlds. As civilizations spread and the frontier closes, the world will start to look homogeneous. Armok, looking upon this decadence in disgust, will reform the world. Basically, when the universe has become too boring, it will be changed."

"But who or what is Armok? ARMOK is the God of Blood…The Supreme God, he gives name to the game, his powers are literally endless…He creates and destroys whole Universes just for pleasure and fun. He enjoys watching death, destruction and, of course, blood run on his Universe…In an Universe, he can have billions of worshippers, while in another his existence might be unknown...but HE EXISTS. This cannot be denied, and allows to play almost any type universe…from a standard fantasy-type world to a “primitive”, stone age world…and, why not a “future world” with star travel? In fact, when Armok creates an Universe, he likes putting more than one planet in it!

Remember…Armok can control and destroy all other creatures, including the other, ”lesser” gods, but he usually enjoys watching civilizations grew, because he hopes that one day these civilizations will fight each other, and thus generate conflict and slaughter!"

>>172193650
oh shit

I guess thats how I know I've really played enough Dwarf Fortress over the years.

any way to order innocent civvies out of the way of the oncoming goblin slaughter machine? My only squad is unfortunately on the wrong side of the map and some poor fisher dwarf is undoubtedly going to die a horrible death UNLESS he fucking legs it

>>172191508
for the best, would've no doubt had to execute the poor bastard anyway

werecontagions are imo one of the most FUN generating things in this game

narrative-wise it's somewhat akin to a black plague mechanic - an incurable disease that spreads viciously, and if you attempt any sort of humanity at dealing with it, ur fortress will become deathly infected and it's ggs

but it also made me kind of realize that I think the werewolf legends - like the first ones - were probably metaphors for rabies. without scientific knowledge of rabies, it probably does just seem bizarre and supernatural, a totally destructive force

Is there any way to modify world generation so civilizations are more likely to fight each other?

I like to turn megabeasts off, set history as long as possible and see how the civilizations turn out when not interfered with by godmode monsters.

My favourite thus far was a world where the humans murderfucked all the elves in the first few centuries, and the only elf that remained lived alone in a tower, writing thousands of books untroubled by the outside world.

It might be a bit misleading, since it doesn't differentiate between ethics and values, and also uses a non-standard terminology to refer to the "stances".

That's mostly so they can throw themselves against your fort meatgrinder endlessly. It is pretty easily fixed though.

Remove [LIKES_SITE:DARK_FORTRESS], [NO_EAT], [NO_DRINK] and you cut the pops back a lot.

I like having them settle glaciers and whatnot, a horde of goblins marching through drifts of elf blood snow is metal as fuck.

>Working out the various raid issues. We anticipated there'd be lots of problems with suddenly sending a bunch of fort-involved citizens off the map, and there have been.

I've successfully started a war with a nearby human civilization, so that's definitely in for next time, if you want to be unneighborly.

I think I finally finished with everything I planned for this fort, I still need to fix small things like finish the temples, fix wall and floor patterns and create a more efficient entrance, it is a chore to clean after each siege, but everything is more or less complete.

In my old vaporwave fort, I had a former legendary militia member who had become unhappy from sparring in the rain.

People often say that tantrums don't happen anymore, but she threw them all the time. And every time she did, someone ended up with an exploded skull. Thanks to a steady flow of migrants, my population number remained constant, but I think she got at least 40 kills during her tantrums in the end.

One time her tantrum managed to trigger a minor loyalty cascade, but luckily enough it stopped after only 20 casualties.

I had a functioning justice system, but due to her legendary militia member background, she survived all hammerings.

Pic related is her kill list, as seen early into the game. The goblin was the only kill she got in real combat.

The pause function is a very important part of the DF gameplay, and it makes all traditional forms of multiplayer completely inapplicable.
