This. Dorfs have equipment issues if you try to make them a miner/hunter/woodcutter that's also in the military. Turn off all jobs when you draft guys into squads, you'll want them training anyway.

the wiki doesn't seem to be very in-depth about how claiming sites/building them works.

how do you retire in a building that you built or hire peasants/companions into being hearthpeople of said hamlet?

will they all stay in the site if you decide to play a fortress over in another part of the world for a year or ten?

what are some of the boons of owning your own land next to a town or goblin pit?

I'm sad that after all these years there is still no kinky mod for dwarf fortress.

the best tileset is whatever you wanna use, it's a singleplayer game

But I also recommend

Where was your last save? If you are completely fucked try seeing if you can "retire" your character. Otherwise you might have to suffer the low fps walk of shame as im out of options myself. (DFhack can apparently be used to give yourself super speed meaning you get to move more often without any lag but im not sure if its permanent)

>>175703558
I'll check this in the morning for you and provide you with more help, for now i recommend checking the errorlog.txt file.
(Might wanna remove all of its contents, load up dwarf fortress and start up arena and close right afterwards if you've played for a long time)

do humans send diplomats?

my civilizations screen show'd em in my general area but so far after two years they haven't sent any traders or anything ;_;

>>175717973
Could be because your fort pop or wealth is too small or that the human civ has been wiped without you knowing while you were playing.

Do dorfs using screw pumps still happily pump away until they die of thirst, or was that bug fixed?

>>175717973
Have you been promoted to a barony? The humans' diplomat is the law-giver, their civ's monarch. They're not braving the wilds to sit down with a mayor.

>>175718379
Hasn't been a thing for years.

>>175718743
Ok just making sure, I have guys working out in my gym getting really thirsty, i'll keep an eye on them just in case. Thanks.

>>175718827
Some dwarves' personality traits incline them to work for longer or shorter periods of time after their needs start flashing. They'll stop for a drink eventually. If you have a lot of idlers you might even catch dwarves bringing your pumpers water.

As an aside, pump gyms are a much less efficient way to train attributes than normal military training. Attributes increase with skill gains, and military training increases a lot of skills at once as opposed to pumping, which only increases pump operator.

>>175713878
Vector Curses is the best, that graphics set meph put their name on is from a couple of different artists.

It isn't my taste at all though, so I'd say the best graphics set is CLA hands down.

>>175719829
Thanks for the tips about the water/needs.

Yea I know pump gyms are kind of inefficient, but I like adding areas to my fortress for flavour, like Colosseums n such. I'm really glad that temples, libraries and inns got implemented. I'm gunna get around to looking in the legends and find which diety would be appropriate for a God of Fitness for my dwarves to worship while pumping iron.

You could leave him in the cage. Or drop it in magma. Hell, you could sell him to a caravan if you want. Since he's in a wood cage you can't sell him to elves, which would be the ultimate insult, but selling him to humans would be pretty mean I guess.

Seriously though, can I sell people? This is crucial information I need to know before I embark on my quest to build a breeding slave fort where I pump out dwarf babies as fast as possible before selling them to caravans for mad dosh.

Or is there a more efficient way to go about it? I figured if I had a sort of breeding pit set up where the designated slaves would mill around and produce the product, entirely separate from the rest of the fort, I could sell their spawn with little trouble since the only people that would be upset would be stuck in the pit.

>>175726405

whew:
Magnetite for the iron ore along with flux layer marble, BOTH fire clay and regular clay plus sand, and even fucking tin ore with tetrahedrite. The Nickel is a nice addition too.
Oh, and actual diamonds from kimberlite veins. A whopping SIX red diamonds as prospect tells me. Three adamantine veins.
Sure there's an aquifer but due to erosion along the river there's exposed stone so i have an easy in for the starting fortress entry.

Of course i generated the world with an extinct dwarf civ, by using hundreds of megabeasts and titans... With an attack requirement of just 1 population. This will be fun.

>>175727931
Yeah but I mean you can just use different tiles for each caste.

How do I make text and game tabs smaller? I'm using a 24x24 tileset and it makes everything look fat. What used to be a 1 page Dwarf description is now all disjointed and fucked up because I have to scroll down through it. Same with the trading screen.

> using a fuck-huge tileset

the best you can do is run your monitor with a maximum allowed resolution, and then run DF in windowed mode and maximize the window size.

it's the trade-off of a large tileset, just like the trade-off of the "X" character being used for both up/down staircases and bins.
if it's too fucked, use a smaller tileset or buy a bigger/better monitor and graphics card to support a higher screen resolution. (which will make your large tileset look small, and cause you to use a 32x32 tileset, which...)

>>175729627
All right, I've integrated different caste symbols to the mod.

>>175729663

I made a lot of changes to the race but I dunno if I'm doing everything right. For some reason one of the casts has 2 of every body part, and all of them are female. Also, there's a caste called "nothing" that does have both genders but I have no idea what the fuck its doing there.

Yeah, you can sell caged sentients so long as they aren't hostile. It's a cheaty favorite method of disposing of excess children. The only trick is getting them into cage traps. Best method is getting them on a retracting bridge over a roomful of cage traps. Pull the lever, they hit the traps stunned, and bam, you've got a dwarfling cage.

I'm no fan of meph or his "work", but tilesets don't cause crashes. They're just arrangements of pixels, and no arrangement of pixels is more or less likely to make the game crash than any other. Your problem is probably TWBT, the adv mode crash you're describing is well known crash that it causes, and it's notoriously unstable in fort mode as well. Unless you think "meph's" tileset is synonymous with masterwork. Masterwork is also notoriously crashy, and uses the tileset by default, but isn't the same thing.

And what if cave spiders are easily go through fortifications? Is this bug?

>>175746159

Mmmm you want better veins with more coherent pattern

I am kinda satisfied with the current state of it but i guess it could improve

>>175746176
The cave spider shouldn't go through the fortification, unless it dodges an attack.

If you want to be 100% sure, I guess you could add a second tile to the spider's room and tie it to a rope or something.

Okay so I might be retarded.

>>175746276
Apparently, one can't chain vermin.

>>175746259
No, I want rocks to appear in more realistic formations above ground.

I want faults. I want canyons. I want overhangs and rock shelters.

I want volcanoes that aren't just a fucking hole in the ground (which occationally happens to be on a mountain).

Ive always wanted to chain Minotaur but i am not confident in my modding ability of DF

Giant cave spiders aren't vermin.

>>175746573
I'm talking about vermins, those that are not giant.

>>175746509
Now that you mention it i do want natural caverns to form
like big dark entrances to the depths or lairs to creatures
or just empty fungus filled spaces

>>175746618
If you're talking about silk farms, then you're definitly talking about giant cave spiders.

Ordinary cave spiders are just tiny harmless animals. After you've breached the caverns, they'll be everywhere in your fort, outside of your control. They are very useful as a source of silk, but they're not used in silk farms.

>>175746818
They are used, though wiki suggest just place them somewhere and let in weaver. I thought i can avoid bites and built silk farm for giant cave spider.

>>175746924
On the wiki page, only one of the designs (the first one) uses ordinary spider. That one is pointless, since their webs are everywhere in the caverns. anyway.

The other designs all involve giant cave spiders.

I wouldn't worry about the bites of the small cave spiders, by the way. They occur extremely rarely, and they only cause slight dizzyness or something harmless like that.

How do I safely dump caged creatures into a pit? I cant build the cage and then activate it with a lever, because the pit is not safe for a dwarf to enter.

one of my dwarves isn't training regularly. the rest of the squad is set to schedule - train, but this guy has no scheduled order for some reason. he does pop in every now and then, but it's brief

how would i go about changing this?

or is he just disdainful of authority?

>>175752873
fuck, he suddenly went on to train. I know he's going to abandon it in a little bit though. pls help, he's lagging behind his fellow speardwarves. I don't want him to drop out and start smoking the giant cave spider ichor

>>175752873
I usually don't use advanced schedules, but to me, it sounds like you just forgot to to give him scheduled orders.

In the unit list, if it just says 'station' for a military dwarf, does that mean he isn't training?

you are welcome.

Sorry if I have not drawn anything these past few threads, I have been overrun with work.

First fortress is lost, but i still don't know what to do with bugged wheelbarrows, barrels and bins. Why my food stockpile had 5 barrels and everything else was on the floor though there was hundreds of pots. But i figured out what to do if jeweler workshop says you that you don't have cut gems. And now i know that when building pit trap you should carefully check so on every z lvl it has walls around falling zone, even one diagonal tile that don't have wall on it means you will be screwed with lots of undeads.

Run a smaller world and go into the goblin entity, remove brackets from this line:
[LIKES_SITE:DARK_FORTRESS]

Then go into creature standard and remove brackets from this line under the trolls:
[SLOW_LEARNER]

That will kill 95% of the worst lag sources, but the only thing approaching dark fortress lag is when you get a library with goblin scholars in it murdering each other.

If you go back into the goblin entity and change this line:
[ETHIC:KILL_NEUTRAL:REQUIRED] to ACCEPTABLE it fixes that problem.

By Giant house spider, I meant Tegenaria gigantea.

I'm not 100% percent how big the giant ones are supposed to be, though. I've seen smaller ones in the down in the bike storage room, which I assume were Tegenaria domestica, as well as some fuckhuge ones, which I assume were gigantea. This one isn't as large as the largest ones, but I'd still put my mony on gigantea.

Btw, I'm northern European. I'm not 100% sure whether Giant house spiders occur in America or not.

The world was fleshed out, taverns and libraries are hubs of activity with scholars bullshitting and writing books, drunks singing and dancing and telling stories, tavern keepers hustling their asses off serving people and almost always being loaded with useful information.

Bandits are now recognized as jerks by civilians and they take the time to thank you for beating them up, as in I've literally had strangers stop and say what an honor it is to meet me, and thank me for what I do.

Hearthperson quests are fixed, you can actually get sent out to slay a cyclops or drive out bandits or clear a neighboring town of criminals under the keep, the other hearthpersons act like bros and sometimes you get squads of newbies following you around town.

There are vanilla bonecarving and treecutting options now, you can build log cabins and shit, decorate them with furniture, name and claim them, and throw parties but we're hoping toady fixes the link to your parent civ so the rest of the world responds properly to your camp.

All of this translates over to fort mode, people show up to ask if they can perform in your tavern, mercenaries petition to help defend the fort, scholars will visit your library.

Your dorfs have a list of needs to fill that actually improve their performance when satisfied, adventurers get the same effect, though some can't be filled as an adventurer (romance, good meal, friendship, couple others are absurdly annoying like argue/obtain shit/be gaudy) but being Focused! gives a big accuracy boost and a skill roll increase I think?

>spidermod when?

Just gonna add that to the list of cool things i'll eventually get around on making...

Keep on going with your idea though anon, what kind of spiders would you like to see specifically?

So does adding more monster types (For example, Demon or Night creature) add more total monsters to world gen? Or does the game generate the same number of monsters but it picks from a larger variety?

>>175789912
Both actually. There will always be atleast 1 of each generated monster type (not sure if there is a limit on that).

Check it out. I don't think this or any of its alternatives have been actively maintained, though. A guy here a few months ago pretended to be trying to do his own version, but you know how anonymous projects tend to go.

I want spider monster girls to whisper sweet nothings into my ear as they cocoon me.

>>175788418
Don't cook plants. That's literally all there is to it. Every other use leaves seeds.

>>175789626
As for the real spiders: preferably some mundane ordinary spiders. The current real life spiders in DF (jumping spiders and brown recluse spiders) were added as part of the animal drive back in 2010. While the drive was cool in the respect that it led to the addition of lots of real world animals, an unproportional amount of these new animals tunred out to be exotic meme animals that were popular on the internet, but not all that common irl (see: keas and kakapos). This somewhat also applied to the spiders added. I mean, jumping spiders are common worldwide, and brown recluses are common at least in America, but it's still pretty obvious why just they were added: simply because jumping spiders are popular on the internet for being "cute", while brown recluses are extra well known for being nasty and dangerous (a somewhat exaggerated reputation, to be fair).

It would be nice to see some more "boring" spiders. Various orb-weavers, for example, i.e. cross spiders or missing sector orb weavers. Crab spiders, with an interaction for changing colour, would be cool.

Then, there are numerous other arachnids I'd like to see in the game, which technically aren't spiders. Like the camel spider, for example. And the amblypygids.

welp, I forgot a tile and now there's a polar bear in my fort. I have no xbows, trained dwarves, or any supplies that aren't right next to it

WAT DO

I've managed to get my first successful fortress, and it feels a little easy. When I start a new one, what settings can I do to make it so I get more sieges and megabeast attacks? I'm worried that if I ramp up the megabeast count they'll just kill off all the civilisations on the map. I want a nice balance.

well ok then

>>175779487
not that anon but what about retiring two of the same species in your fort?

say I drop off two humans or two kobolds & get them successfully hitch'd will they have children?

>>175792112
>WAT DO
Wait. It'll get dogpiled by civilians, pass out from the pain of dozens of ineffectual punches, and either bleed or be put out of its misery by a passing miner. If you're especially unlucky you might lose a dwarf or two to dehydration because they're too dumb to stop punching it for a drink.

>>175789617
So, what, does your world have wandering herds of bulldozers on the high plains? Are they grazers?

>>175791680
Thats pretty lewd, not sure if dwarf fortress is the best game for that.
I can add something that might satisfy you though because i love modding too much

>>175793932
Like a retard i pressed post rather than continuing on the next post and replying on the same post. Ahem

>>175792079
I know next to nothing about spiders, irl or not. I live in such a cold hellhole so i doubt those even exist here.

Could you give me examples of most common spider "types" or a link to/make a list of spiders you'd like to see? I know this may sound lazy from me but i know nothing about spiders and i dont want to end up making all of the spiders nearly copypaste from oneanother and/or leaving something essential out.

how do petitions work for non-dwarfs,do I need to add anything to the entity files for them to do labors like mining or animal-training?

>>175786174
So I did as you said and removed a lot of stuff, but for the castes where the remaining data on them was [BODY:HUMANOID_4ARMS] and [BODY:HUMANOID_NECK_HOOF] are still fucked. The caste with [BODY:2WINGS] seems to be working fine though, as are the remaining castes.

>>175798670
There's two kinds of petitions for visitors at your fort:
The first is after they stay in your tavern for a while as a visitor, and that's to become a resident at your fort. All this means is that they won't leave your fort and instead will hang out in your tavern just as they previously did. You can't recruit them or give them labors or anything at this point.

After a while they might petition to become citizens of your fort. Accepting it basically allows you to control them just as you do your dwarves by giving them labors and recruiting them into your military.

If they're a mercenary then I don't think they ever apply for citizenship, but they can be recruited into a pre-existing squad if they're a resident.

whats the diff between a quire and a scroll

just getting into this game,

got carried away building a fort and some goblins came and killed everyone.

Guess Ill have to build a wall around my main staircase next time.

http://spiders.us/species/ is a good list with no stupid jumpscare shit, no gruesome bite images, just information and images useful for identification, and my go-to site for anyone needing to id a spider who isn't comfortable enough to do shit like "oh hey look at that beautiful argiopes aurantia, c'mere sweetheart, I need help getting a picture of you!" like I am.

>>175803004
A quire is a sheaf of pages with no binding, a scroll is a rolled up sheet which can have rollers and such attached.

>>175803893
and try traps, and something called a militia.

>>175804229
Most of my militia died over winter because of mass dehydration. Do they fight them their selves usually or do I have to send them to a certain location?

>>175804356
you can station them in strategic points, make patrols, or eventually send them to kill a specific target.

So depends on your strategy.

How do I look through legends without cancelling my Adventure mode? Thanks in advance!

So how do I see the Legends through DFHack?

If I punch a goblin hard enough can I break the tree that it hits?

I'm really loving this brothel mod, finally puts use to all these goblin females caught in cages

The gobs are subhuman though, you don't breed with kobolds too do you?

No. Tree trunks are basically like natural walls or constructions. They're indestructible except by the appropriate labor.

Its in the new patch. I'm "Toady"

S'all right, not sure about anyone else but if you see a FileNameLikeThis.png and they mention using something in dfhack like open-legends or gui/gm-editor scr or gatherQuests then it's probably me and I mean type exactly that line into the terminal.

Incidentally if you're in 43.05 using a current dfhack beta, you can save this in your df/hack/scripts folder, then pull up your quest log and aim the cursor somewhere on it, run questport, and you go there.

Huh, I thought these were in the main dfhack release but I don't see them: https://github.com/1337G4mer/1337G4mer-dfhack-scripts/tree/master/adventure-mode

>>175808392
I mean, it seems possible to mod in though?

Just have an interaction involving the prisoners that puts dwarfs in a good mood and add some flavor text to make it spicier. Bam, brothel. Bonus points if its possible to decrease the mood of the captives after every visit until they go insane.

>>175811221
Brothels require economics first. What you've got is just the usual sex slavery.

>>175754863
i like your rendition of hydras as sorta like multi-headed dinosaurs

>>175810578
>>175811118
I think I understand what this is.

I put them into the "\hack\scripts", do I write them into the DFhack-commandwindow to turn them on?

>>175811665
Yar, you can also add them as hotkeys in your dfhack.init file.

I use these but your methods would of course vary, as these make sense with my keybinds but may not with yours:

keybinding add Shift-V launch
keybinding add Alt-R reveal
keybinding add Ctrl-S adv-rumors
keybinding add Alt-Q gatherQuests
keybinding add Ctrl-Shift-S adv-max-skills
keybinding add Alt-H tiletypes-here
keybinding add Shift-Q questport
keybinding add Alt-W gui/hack-wish
keybinding add Alt-O "open-legends force"

learn with the starter pack. I think it has the Lazy newb pack and dwarfhack and easy to chose tilesets.

I'm not too sure how out of date it is since I'm still using it.

>>175813108
Do you have the latest version?

So like, how hard would it be to make a playable civ compared to a non-playable civ? Like, is it just a little bit harder or is it way harder?

>>175813418
43,03 rather than .05

>>175812737
It's not out of date. The OP has been wrong for weeks but no one ever fixes it when they make a new thread.
You really don't need the starter pack to learn the game, though, and most of what it offers isn't particularly useful for new players. You're better off just downloading the base.

>>175813108
Lazy newb pack and starter pack are the same thing.
