Modanon here, place your modding requests upon me and they shall be (eventually) fulfilled!

i recommend not touching the older versions of my mods and the necromorph one as they can be buggy.

Also my dwarf fortress crashed after i had gone trough over 100 books (probably more) from a necromancer tower to get the ones that actually have the secrets of life and death to bring to my fort(s).

I recommend starting out in /tg/station if you ever decide to try out the game. /vg/station is full of elitist namefags (the other people there are cool though) and the server has less people maintaining the codebase whereas /tg/station keeps getting updates almost daily by multiple people.

I think a spherical fortress layout is more efficient

Do underground rivers exist? Are chasms still a thing?

>>176171618
I've never found an underground river, but I have found underground seas and lakes. Chasms are not a thing, but you'll sometime find crazy deep pits
>>176171432
>I think a spherical fortress layout is more efficient
Please explain this. I'd expect all the little corner-y bits to be wasted space, whereas rectanglular rooms can interlock nicely

>>176171618
Underground pools of water exist, but nothing like the flowing aboveground rivers. Chasms are gone, but occasionally you'll have vertical passages that cut through multiple cavern levels, or magma pipes as high as the first cavern level stretching all the way down to the magma sea, regardless of volcanoes in the area.

Havent started on it yet but its the next thing in the list of things im doing i belive.
Do you want them to be like regular fantasy hobbits or are they special in any way? I remember something about having tamed sea creatures or something.

>>176173517
So make regular kobolds more deadly and larger? Got it. I wonder what kind of effect this will have when kobold populations can defend themselves against something bigger than a cat.

Speaking of kobolds i saw my very first kobold necromancer. I have no idea how thats even possible but the thought of such a small thing commanding huge armies of undead amuses me.

What environments are top tier comfy for an above ground farming hamlet?

Taking names for my new fort using >>176170250's dinosaur mod. The fort is located in a tropical wetland near a volcano, our fortress is going to be built around the volcano with the mission of taming as many deadly beasts as possible and training them to kill the unworthy. All non-dwarves are to be fed to the hungry beasts. Strike the earth!

A couple of questions.
Context:I built the floodgates during winter. I channeled through two layers of ice and built it on the edge of where i thought the water was flowing off of.
I thought this was a waterfall, but there is no mist. So is it just running down a slope into the two other smaller streams?

I have queued up several times to link the floodgates to the lever. My dwarves respond with cannot access site. They built the floors fine and the lever, only thing that changed during that time are the merchants arriving.

Are floodgates constructed closed? If so there seems to be water still flowing through my floodgates. Shouldn't the water eventually drain off the map?

ok, so I swear I saw goblins on the civs section of the embark screen, but I just pressed c in game and I only have kobolds. I just tried copy-pasting the goblin section of entity_default.txt under the kobold header. Any idea if this will give me sieges & ambushes, or do I need to reembark?

>>176179135
If you saw them on embark then they're there, you can't really change entity_default after making a world, and the gobs will show up on the civs screen after they attack once.

One last idea regarding the kobolds - if they were between the size of a dwarf and a human, would they be able to wear armor from both races?

Thanks for taking on my big kobolds idea. I've tried modding in the past but it seems like the layers of RAWs knowledge required can get pretty complex very quickly, even with other peoples' work for reference.

Why are my dwarves cancelling the connect lever to floodgate action after successfully completing the lever and floor
Are floodgates constructed closed?

Toady is going to have to really start working on performance. So much shit is getting added that adds depth to the game that pretty soon you're not going to be able to experience everything before your fortress simply shits itself from fps death.

Alright, so I have some miners assigned to a squad, but whenever I give them orders, they drop their picks even though I have picks set as their weapons. What gives?

>>176183473
What texture pack?

>>176184662
yes, they're constructed closed.
also, in order to link gates to a lever you need to have walkable space adjacent on the same z-level.

dig or build a staircase, and then put any walkable surface in front of the floodgates

or wait until winter and then excavate ice and connect them again.

I really hope Toady implements some really unique and powerful magical artifacts. I'd love to have a large shield artifact in the middle of my fortress which can be projected around an area for defense, or even a holy artifact for use in evil areas to keep various evil creatures and syndromes at bay.

Whats the big difference between shields and bucklers defensively?

Are shields just better or is it situational

>>176194817
Shields block better. Bucklers are lighter. Almost never a reason to use bucklers except for flavor.

>>176194817
Huh, I never checked much beyond the block rate tag being lower and bashworthiness being lower for bucklers.

>>176195213
There was a science thread on bay12 some years ago. The conclusion was that shields had a small but significant block chance over bucklers (can't remember the %) and that adding shields increased block chance slightly for each additional shield, with sharply diminishing returns (can't remember those numbers either). I would find the thread for you but I don't want to.

All I want in dwarf fort is an bug race with four castes that plays like dwarves in fortmod.
Castes of corse would be queen only female that can breed gives live birth she would be big and slow with some starting skill in nobility abilitys.
Drone starting skills in labor tasks and they would be fast but weak and the most common non breeding females
Soldier caste would be the males second most common they would have natural armor and scorpion tails that paralize.
Last would be scouts non breeding fliers that are basically drones with wings.

>>176197836
desu the scouts should be the ones that go out and start colonies
for example look at termites.
they send out so many winged scouts to try and find suitable ground for a queen to start a new colony.

You know, now that I think of it, if you take the size of a tile in DF into consideration, a 2x1 tiles room is pretty fucking spacious.

>>176200225
It is.

Most dwarves won't have any complaints about it either.

Giving them 2x2 or larger is mostly a matter of fort aesthetics for me.

>>176200781
Well yeah, I give 2x2 to everyone, and 5x5 to nobles.

While I agree with the main sentiment in your post, you seem to have gotten the dimensions wrong.

Each square is 2x2 meters wide (and 3 meters high). So your noble rooms would be 10x10 meters.

Still larger than the average flat, though.

The wiki pages are the superior source on modding.

The modding subforum on bay12 is also good, but like the rest of that forum, there is a big of misinfo in circulation.

Nope, I'm pretty sure if you just disable the mining labour (woodcutter is also fucky) then they can equip picks just as easily as any other weapon.
So just train them up carving out your halls and once they hit legendary have them be constantly in your military.

It is the comfiest game in the whole wide world. Even when fps slows down, I listen to music, open a /dfg/ tab, and mess around with other projects while checking on my dorfs every 10 minutes and make sure everything is running smoothly.
>Average time spent playing in a session?
I don't have df sessions that often, but they always last hours and hours until I force myself to get off.

implement shitting? (designated shitting streets)
if your dwarves poo in the water they drink or the water is contaminated in some other way. dwarves can get Cholera if they drink from it.

having half your population die to a Cholera outbreak would be epic (diseases in general would be cool)

It doesn't happen as often as it used to, but it was a minor meme for a while to have random livestock save the fort from megabeasts or whatever.

The Fortress Chasmserpent has begun construction. The goal is to build a huge fortress over a volcano with an open-sky colosseum right at the bottom. There are absolutely no overground water sources so im a little worried about how we are going to treat our injured but perhaps we can find some in the underground caverns?
Going to have to build a small wooden bridge for now to get to the other side of the chasm, later there will be a beautiful bridge that can be retracted to fling any possible siegers to their deaths.

>>176245927

Oooh!

>>176246087
Yeah, it was a cave-in, that's my magma piston's collection reservoir. The dust is always fire clay + layer stone, though, and the piston doesn't pass through any obsidian layers. There are a few z of obsidian at the top from repairs which is probably the origin, but I haven't seen persistent cave-in dust as a magma contaminant before this drop.

Are volcanoes good starting positions?

yeah, i'd say they're pretty good

>>176272015
I added it to both the creature and entity files with no results.

playing adventure mode for the first time (technically second time, accidentally starved my first adventurer to death) as a humie in a human hamlet. got in a fight with a marksdwarf earlier and killed him, got told he was part of a bandit squad

later went to another hamlet nearby, got approached by some military dwarves. they're not doing anything, but they approached awful fast and occasionally say things like "is this an attack!?"

are the popo just hatin cuz im humie, should I watch my back, or what?

they haven't hurt me yet but they're following me around. i can walk in circles around them without incident

>>176272782
No, they're just concerned you have your weapon out. Hit Q to holster.

>>176272875
You holster a gun, you sheathe most weapons that are used in DF.

What do you guys set your pop cap at?
I set mine at 80, I don't really know what I would do with the extra dwarves

>>176272875
oh, whoops, my bad.

also, one of my human's needs is to make romance. but aren't most adventurers completely asexual? how would I go about doing that

What are some good mods?
>mod it till it crashes

>>176272998
Same difference.

>>176273179
You can't in the current version.

It's best to just set all your desires to neutral and roleplay how you want.

>>176272778
>caused by demonic temple overloading the entities list with undead, disabling migration
Demon fortresses were hardcoded, it wasn't something masterwork could've touched if it'd wanted to. The bug you're describing wasn't a thing.

Ooooh I tagged them as aquatic instead of amphibious on accident so I couldn't select them because they all fucking suffocated during worldgen.

>>176274284
Something in the mod caused it to spawn more undead than normal. I checked with DFhack, and there were 2000 of them.

Also, it's integrated with DFhack, so yes, it can change hard-coded things.

The wiki is confusing me on marksdwarf training.
Can someone give me an example of what a good marksdwarf training room looks like?
Does each individual dwarf have to be assigned to a single archery target? And do all of the archery target room areas have to overlap, and do they have to have a weapon rack or armor stand in the area?
Thanks in advance

It's [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] that was deprecated, [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE] is a creature tag and it works fine.

its page 10 senpai

making a zoo is always fun
if you plan on retiring the fort try to get nobility to settle there, it makes it more fun to explore in adventure mode

most of my people are hauling wood and stone full time. am I doing something wrong?

>>176281821
It's the natural effect if you have a lot of wood/stones, as well as a lot of stockpile space.

If you want them to haul less, you should just make smaller stockpiles. Or you could deactivate the hauling labour for some dorfs, but that would just increase the load on the others.

>>176282008
There's also minecarts, though that's a lot of setup

Is playing as a demigod in adventure mode cheating or just the only way to make it bearable to start out?

>>176247473
wew more hydras

>>176283109
there is no "cheating" in DF, since the game isn't performance based.

there are however, practices that can make the game less enjoyable, i.e. pussying out of sieges using drawbridges and traps.

it's all about how you want to get yor enjoyment out of the game. most people in the general probably start out as demigods. even then, you'll start out weaker than most civilised enemies.

>>176283109
>cheating
The only way you can "cheat" in a single player game is to cheat yourself out of fun.
Are you having fun?

>>176283109
Literally nothing wrong with making a demigod, its there as an option why not pick it?
You are gonna end up getting your hands fucked/head chopped just as easily as any other adventurer.

These engraved limestone pillars are three z-levels tall.

I love when the temples end up bigger, so that the architectural traits become easier to see.

I died.

It was for the best.

I don't know myself, and I don't know anyone who can tell you!

I'm incapable of having fun, just distraction from my inevitable demise
