/dfg/ Dwarf Fortress General - DED Edition

I really wish this game could at least support 100 dwarves for more than 20 years before fps death. Kinda sucks you always have to play with baby fortresses.

Also, check this awesome fortress;

Are sieges based on population or just wealth? I know you need to change the pop cap for titan attacks. Can you change everything for a lower population? Or is barony locked to 100 dwarves?

It's pretty late in the Americas right? I assume that's where the heart of the player base is.

1:23 AM PST here. I'm wondering why its so hard to find these fucking packs for older DF versions. Like all the forum links are broken. I'm looking for the modest mod pack for 34.11. I found it on my other computer but I think I had to manually look for it on the file repo.

>>179883140
It's also morning in Europe, so people with duties are in work/school and NEETs, being nocturnal creatures, are still asleep.

Modanon here, still busy with life but soon i'll get back to modding DF again.

Any modding requests? I'll do anything that you guys would like me to do. (as long as its possible to make)

>>179884148
Should be worth mentioning that i'll work on the stuff that was requested in earlier threads first before moving on to current stuff so fulfilling your request might take a while.

>(Toady One) Things are still a little rough and square-ish in parts, but we're calling it for kobold caves. The new entity animal framework is set up, though I've only used it for kobolds. It's pretty basic -- you can compel an entity to use creatures that either belong to a list of classes (classes can also be excluded), or by their token, and you can set them to either use matching animals from the environment or to get a free environment-independent starting population as with the current domestic creatures. You can optionally override the mount/wagon puller/etc. roles defined in the creature definition, setting them to always or never be used for those roles. Kobolds use their new entity animal definition to keep as pets any creatures in the surrounding environment that are in the new poisonous class which do not have the new mammal class. In my test cave, this led to a scary pit room filled with giant cave spiders and rattlesnakes.

Does this mean mounts soon?

Am I the only one who thinks it isnt that exciting?

I done flooded ma dorf fort. Everyone is safe, but the depot is now under several layers of water.
If I forbid it, will that stop caravans from pathing to it?

>>179886727
I just play 34.11 all day because I'm obsessed with FPS death avoidance. Its kind of serine knowing that df-hack is always available, moddest mod is updated, and everything functions the same as always. I'm released from the suffering of waiting for updates. Since Toady doesn't give a fuck about performance updates things will never get better with new updates I fear. Hell single core processing is getting worse recently in favor of having like 16-20 core cpu's.

>>179883458
What if we made a pastebin with links to important tools/mods for a heap of versions. 0.34.11 with modest mod is a great version for toasters, for example but like you said it can be a pain to find links for nowadays.

>>179884148
Are you the same guy that was working on a Dark Souls/Monster Girl mod a couple of years ago?

Mates, how do I know if a male dog is impregnating the females?
Any tips on making my dogs do this for sure?

>>179887820
put them in the same area together.

>>179887820
>Mates, how do I know if a male dog is impregnating the females?
They have to be on adjacent tiles.

>Any tips on making my dogs do this for sure?
Fear not, soon you will be worried about making them NOT do this.
Anyway, put them in one pasture. To reap extra benefits, train them as war dogs and put them at the entrance. Soon you will have anti-thief platoon of war dogs.

Thanks guys

Just started this game about 5 days ago. Been following the quickstart guide so far.

The hardest thing so far has been understanding how the trading works. I got a bud of mine that helps me out a bunch, though he's sleeping right now.

Another big struggle I've had is losing people to fey moods (I think this is their path to become legendary craftdwarves or somethin like that).

I've only restarted my game once so far. Losing was fun

>>179888253
Also, my dwarves aren't using the training weapons I made for them I think, all my recruits became Wrestlers... Not that I mind, I find that entertaining hah

>>179887820
check Therapist and make sure your dog isn't gay. If it's straight then just pasture it in the same place/room with the females and wait.

>>179888253
Just make sure you buy one bin of each type of cloth and thread from the first caravan and a couple of metal bars and you're good for moods. If there's bones in the mood and he's stuck just slaughter a few more cats, sometimes they want more bones than you have.

>>179888325
dont waste your time with training weapons, if you're unlucky they'll get attached to them and you wont be able to stop them from using them later. just make a few wood/bone crossbows from a Bowyer's workshop at the start and work on a metal industry once you have bedrooms for ~100 dwarves, dining room, nobles, hospital set up.

Why are the silly humans attacking my fortress? I've never done anything wrong to them. They also arrived with the "vile force of darkness" message. The hell?

>>179888253
Oh, and one more thing - keep in mind that pregnancies last a while. If you have 20 dogs, 10 males and 10 females, and then decide to geld males, don't be surprised if a few months later you will have 40 dogs. This might become quite a problem, unless you're a heartless monster willing to butcher cute and cuddly puppers.

>>179888458
Is it the actual human civ, or goblins with captured humans in their ranks?

Check your civilizations screen (i forget the hotkey, c maybe?) and see if you're at war with them. Maybe your civ was at war with them before you embarked, or you pissed off one of their caravans.

>>179888334
>>179888391
>>179888513
Thanks again mates. Heading to bed now, 6 AM for me. See you all

Be glad that they didn't decide to be attack helicopters.

Turns out these humans were a huge tribe of fucking savages. They had rings and other trinkets made out of human bones.

>>179890110
Ah the fortress entrance guy, do the ballistae work as intended?

>>179891326
It took them some time to get everything ready, also my dumb marksdwarf thought he had to charge at them directly, but was caught in the line of fire of the ballistas.
It was pretty devestating when they did hit them, some arrows went straight through their ranks, killing multiple humans. It's really hard to get the timing correctly though. If you wait too long for example your siege operators will get thirsty quickly and only fire one volley, before fucking off to your dining hall, while the entrance gets overrun.

>>179890110
They were snatched goblin slaves.

>>179891919

Don't know why this meme won't die. Weapon attachment doesn't prevent you from assigning different weapons. Dwarves will use whatever their uniform tells them too, as specific or as general as you make it, irrespective of any gear attachment.

What is better, leggings or greaves?

>>179898352
greaves are heavier/more protective

>>179895654
>>179896132
>>179896398
That's been a thing for as long necromancers have. When you butcher an animal it makes a hair product with as many parts as the animal had with hair on them, which can be raised by a necromancer. Toady has said that he doesn't consider reanimated hair to be a bug even though it wasn't explicitly intended.

>>179898563
It isn't much weirder than a reanimated skeleton if you think about it.

>>179898563
I wasn't surprised about reanimated hair. I thought it would be invincible as always.

>>179898870
Oh, yeah. That bug. It's supposed to be fixed, although I occasionally see people posting about unkillable body parts, hair included, so it seems that it's only partially fixed.

>>179900980
I had a seemingly-unkillable undead echidna in this fort, although I think that was less the hair bug and more to do with its rolling into a ball ability

>>179900980
It's for the better. Also armed necro zombies are a lot more manageable now. 3 dwarfs in full iron managed to deal with 30 zombies in a few raids. You just have to manage their stamina, as they get exhausted.

>>179900980
The hair and skin being invincible is fixed... unless it's just a severed HEAD hair or HEAD skin, which IS invincible. At least, that's my experience from my reanimating evil mountain fortress.

>>179901564
Zombies don't use abilities, all they do is bum rush fucking livies.

>watch lets plays
>oh we have galena thats silver and copper I'm pretty sure!
>malachite WHATS THAT?
>oooo garnerite! I think that's just lead
>the iron ores are magnetite, tetrahedrite, and hematite I'm pretty sure

I don't understand how people can be wrong about ores/alloys literally whenever they bring them up. Like you think you'd get lucky a few times, but nope! Whenever someone says something in the lets play they're just super fucking wrong.

It really grinds my granite.

>>179901713
even if it died in rolled-up form? I have no idea 2bh, I just thought that was the most reasonable explanation, since an echidna is significantly larger and fleshier than the things that are normally unkillable

I want to die, does anyone have any decent example of Forts? I always just build really gross shit that doesn't look appealing to the eyes.

Why are all my dorfs becoming wrestlers? They're fully geared.

>>179902953
Doesn't this plugin just mark all items in a stockpile for melting? I want to achieve the opposite - have all items marked for melting go to a certain stockpile.

>>179903124
they seem to learn skills that class them as "wrestlers" first
if you check, they probably have "novice fighter/novice dodger" etc. but only dabbling in their weapon skill
the weapon skill should improve over the next season or two and then they'll take a profession name from it

Why does my King Consort need an office and a dining room? I thought King Consorts had no requirements.

>>179904796
He probably has another position as well, but you can't see it, because the king consort title overrides it.

>>179905158
Not one that shows up in my nobles screen. He already shares his royal bedroom and dining room with the queen, so I just gave him a second chair that partially overlaps my queen's overkill throne room. Two artifact pieces of furniture counteracts the penalty for overlapping rooms, and since the king consort's is much smaller and doesn't encompass the second artifact in the room it shouldn't cause jealousy in my duke or queen.

Hey you, yes you good stunty

Come over here and take a look on these new fantastic scratching sticks, cutting edge straight out of the dungeons of Towertech.

The shaft is top quality pinewood and comes in a wide selection of leather grips, such as zebra stripes.
We take pride in knowing our products will deliver and MORE.
The scratching device comes in different types such as the heavy duty skeleton gorilla hand for those with an entire jungle of hair on their back or the lighter and more nimble Elf hand for getting to those special spots.
The entire device is started by pushing the button on the shaft that will inject a heavy dose of our special laboratory brew, bringing the scratching device vigorously to life and scratching.

The special brew container is inserted into the grip from below and will last up til 15 times before needing a replacement.
The device will make for a great stress relief and is guaranteed to give you a hair raising experience.

>Due to necrotic energy and residue in the scratching device please keep i t away from necks and other vital body parts.

Just a luafag here man.

Why is military operation hell in this game?

I try to send a squad to murder something and only 3 of the squadmates show up. My squad commander has no labors assigned, and has a war elephant attributed to it.
Even if the commander does show up, the war elephant doesn't follow.

How do I fix this?

>>179932774

>>179943607

Also a trade caravan is trying to leave, and on my units screen it says a wagon is "missing" and they're blocking my main hallway and not moving at all.
I can't find their dumb wagon and they aren't moving.

>>179943607
Keep them on active duty, otherwise they'll start screwing around like that.

>>179901761
It was inevitable.

>>179943607
form them up with Station command in an area before you send them out to fight. Also try to use Station instead of [K]ill where you can, especially with marksdwarves.

>>179947658

>>179947658
Well, advfort does that fine if you just tweak a single line in the script.

Haven't played in a while but do dwarves in hot biomes like deserts wear less clothes? Like they prefer tunics to robes and coats and hats and such and will take them off.

>>179946123
Toilets and sewerage. It's already in the raws, just make a 1x1 workshop that dwarves need to use a couple times a season, add in some related good/bad thoughts about pooping/not pooping/seeing poop and badda bing badda boom.

Also what happened to Darksouls/Monstergirl mod guy?

>>179948841
No, but if you embark in a desert that's too hot dwarves' feet will melt off as they run around outside.

How come when I set my squads to station at a location for a month and set it to "7 minimum" out of 10, three of my dwarves go completely off duty (aka become administrators rather than mace lords) instead of being there if they have nothing better to do? Should I just set it to 10 minimum?

>>179950716
probably because the military system is shit

>>179949426

>>179943607

I often end up having to remove all tavern/library/temple zones just to get anyone to show up to station/kill orders, or just burrow everyone to an area with none of those.

Already lost many a dorf just cause half the squad really wants to hear the end of some cool story. I like all the culture stuff like songs and books but taverns really need some work.

>>179879517
I had a dwarf in a Strange Mood but he got attacked by a corpse while working gathering materials. Now he's just sitting in the hallway not moving, but has everything he needs in the workshop. Is he bugged? Will he go crazy?

>>179954746
Nevermind, it was just bugged out. He was still working on the artifact even though he was 10 tiles away from the workshop. Just some shitty iron amulet that menaces with spikes of granite.

Well I actually made the mod I wanted for DF, which is a mod that adds a few more races to the game, but just in general I would like it if more mod authors had compatibility in mind, and made it so their files didn't override the vanilla ones so you could mix and match mods much easier. I honestly don't understand why more people don't do that.

Can undead populations be driven extinct? These giant zombie owls just don't stop coming.

Has anybody noticed military orders being really weird? If I give a squad an order to kill multiple creatures, sometimes they will kill one and them simply stand still for a long time before snapping back into action. The same thing happens when I give them one order and the change it while they're mid-battle.

Draltha, because they keep running in to my cage traps, I think they're colluding with the giant cave spiders that coincidentally always turn up after.

>>179968886
alpacas, just because migrants happened to bring a few of them as pets
still might try to catch and train something more interesting, we have occasional giant wolves here which would be cool

unrelated, but without modding has anyone ever set up a breeding program for animal people for fun or profit? I've seen non-tamed animals produce offspring before when they were stuck on the map due to a bug, but never animal people

>>179968886
Whatever I catch or the elves bring in breeding pairs. Large and/or predators are always nice, elk birds and cave crocs are cavern mvps.
Domestically I like sheep, since they're shearable, milkable, and the males give every kind of butchering product except gizzard stones and shells.

>>179970774

Is what I meant.

>>179970126
Tiger men used to have a pet value and [PET_EXOTIC] so elves would bring them to sell sometimes. The would act like sapient citizens, eating and drinking and running for mayor. If they came with a profession they would do work, but you couldn't assign them labors. Never got a breeding pair, sadly.

Depends on what you mean by "work". If you mean "is it mechanically possibly to create this in DF?" then the answer is yes. If you mean "am I skilled enough to make this create a functioning fort out of it?" then the answer depends on you. My vote is that you try it and tell us how it goes.

He might be out getting the material for example. Check the job queue to see if a dwarf is assigned to that job.

That was probably it, had a dwarf running around collecting shit in a fey mood. If something's not available do they go and make it themselves if it's faster?

For a mood? Like, slaughter a cow if the want leather? No never.
Get used to always have 3 or 4 items of every "moodable" thing in a forbidden stockpile for emergencies somewhere. Bring the most elusive things on embark (like all 3 types of cloth).

R8 my above ground fort. Not from aesthetics side, I am talking about practicality. There are more impressive structures out there, I know. I focused on something practical while keeping blocky-dwarfy style. If it works, melee fighters will brawl in the middle with support from above. Blue is where gate is, whole thing is 5 tile high.

When I enable my dwarves to train so they spar or demonstrate should I give the squad all the same weapon? Do they cross-weapon train for both sparring and demonstrations? I only have a small squad but I wanted their weapons varied a little bit.

>>179979353
>the pillar tiles in the depot are STILL unchangable

>>179979353
1 tile corridors aren't practical at all, traffic-wise. If you're going to make dwarves fight 5 blocks up in the air, make sure they won't bug themselves out through the walls.

>>179979721
Well, one for some reason is different.

>>179979781
I wanted to minimize randomness in crossbowdwarfs positioning. They shouldn't fall from the wall, as far as I know they can't climb over constructed fortifications.

>>179979892
There's a long-running bug where dwarves warp through a 1-tile thick wall when sparring. You'll be safe as long as you don't make them spar right next to the outer walls. And even if they do fall, you still won't be as unlucky as the guy who built his barracks next to a volcano.

Pitting the animals also works, and can be done with enemies as well, but pitting enemies is bugged atm.

>>179979592
Sparring increases the weapon skill for the weapon they are wielding, but weapon demonstrations only increase one type of weapons skills, though I don't really see a problem with your idea of making a varied squad, as dodging and fighter skills will still be trained on a squad basis.

I am hearing df music randomly out of nowhere. Is this some psychoweapon made by Toady to make people donate him?

I just read that weapon traps are bugged and will crash after breaking, are spike traps still ok? I have access to copper and wood, would that be the most effective and economic trap I could make right now?

Did anyone see a fell mood? Can someone actually fight back against mad artist?

>>180004813
I've never had one, but unless I'm mistaken, the mood type is decided by personality. like, you get morbid moods if altruism is low. if you mod the base personality of the dorfs, you might get more likely to get certain moods.

you're best off checking the wiki, though.

You can only get fell and macabre moods from highly stressed dwarves. Which are basically impossible to end up with without intending it.

>>180005946
I love the idea of a fell mood, although the idea that it's just craftsdwarf shit that results is disappointing. hopefully someday in the distant future its products/origins can be a little darker and more special

Well, cataclysm is on android. Works well enough.

>>180008902

I'm afraid to embark.

>>179965663
I fail to see why that would be intended. As far as I know soldiers in real life don't just take 10 minute breaks in the middle of the battlefield after killing one guy.

I prefer elk birds because they can be trained for hunting and war

>>180011560
Except they don't. In fact nobody uses scattered items for combat, as far as I know, which is a shame. Dwarfs grabbing random object to bash someone could result in hilarious moments. Closest to that I've is was one moment, when some woodcutter was hauling a log when a stray bull became enraged and spooked him. He threw a FUCKING LOG at that bull, spammed "Help!" 10 or so times and climbed at tree. The log hit, but "there is no force".

Yeah, I went draltha because circumstance and it's more manageable than cave crocodiles, fucking hell it's a shitload of hatchlings, at least they're tameable.

Jabberers. They are terrifying.

I am surprised it didn't rip off any limbs in process.

>>180016237
Me too, they kept punching it but it just ran away to hide among the barrels of crundle intestines and prepared giraffe sweetbread. I guess a week of training turns the gigantic dinosaurs into gigantic pussies.

Does caved-in construction create tiles?

No.

Nice, perfect if I ever plan on making a cavern fortress.

Cataclysm has an Android port but it sucks.

I have a few roguelikes on my phone but specifically wanted the history generation.

>>180017773
Is this vanilla? I've only ever seen "upper body", never "chest".

That was not satisfying.

>>180018614
>history generation
URR has an extremely primitive form of history generation.

basically, it's just a seemingly random bunch of events that happens to each civ. as far as I know, none of these events have an impact on the actual world. you can read headstones on graveyards, and occationally it says that someone died in battle a certain year, but these battles never coincide with the "real" historical battles of that world.

The most patrician of preferences.

Indeed, he just needs to stop running off to kill crundles instead of mining and chopping trees.

Dragons don't scare me, zombies don't scare me. But that is absolutely terrifying.
