Not gonna lie, when I'm an adventurer I usually have them befriend a particularly attractive female NPC and give them gifts from time to time. Its cute to hear how thankful they are.

And I noticed that 2 of my 3 soldiers have become infected, not sure whats gonna happen next but it sounds bad for me.

Do flying mounts still exist? I remember my marksdwarves getting owned in my roofless towers when goblins mounting elks appeared in sieges.

Also, dwarf mounts when

>>183689692
Elks don't fly though.

Or do they?

FUCKING HERNE, HE COULD FLY ALL THIS TIME AND WE DIDN'T KNOW

I remember reading that your stats won't go beyond double what you initially set them at in adventure mode. Is this still true for this version?

>>183690029
Hehehe, I was thinking elk birds, but these don't fly either. Maybe it was giant bats of cave swallows.

Its the Corrosion mod, there was an infected ambush, basically zombies I think. They got infected after being bitten, I guess they will maybe turn into zombies at some point. If they do Ill probably have to stop using melee.

>death, disease, and fertility

that makes no sense and is stupid

>>183695484
Life and death are just the same thing really

>>183695484
Usually yeah but the race that I was playing as was conceived as a living, inbred cancer swarm brimming with genetic defects and hereditary diseases so it kind of fits.

>>183695484
You could argue that fertility doesn't necessarily mean life or living of people, but maybe plants. Or a lot of birth, but many of those die.

>>183695657
Oh okay. Skaven. I get it.

>>183695970
Pretty much, except naked mole rats instead of actual rats, and a matriarchy instead of a patriarchy. The resemblences weren't intentional I swear. I just set out to make a naked mole rat civ and remembered reading documentaries about how they were pretty dickish and was like "Oh I guess they'll be a 'bad guy' race then." And after that I was wondering what their theme would be and I thought of a neat mechanic, where they lived to 90 years but had a random chance of death by old age (complications from defects) from 10 to 90, and once I thought of that I just had to put it in there and then I wrote some stuff justifying why they were like that and suddenly whoops not!skaven happened.

Pretty cool anon, I promised myself I'd properly learn to mod the raws when the next update hits. I've been dabbling in it a little, but all I've achieved is understanding more stuff about tokens and creating a bunch of unfinished, vomitous abortions, so that now my raws are a nightmare to go through. Got any tips for a novice modder?

>>183697693
>so that now my raws are a nightmare to go through.

Well uh, we're in the same boat then really. Someone took a look at my raws and said he had no idea how some of my stuff even worked without breaking the game.

I think the best thing you can do is experiment, try and do a thing, load the game and see if it works, if it works keep adding more thing until satisfied, if it crashes then check the error log and experiment until the game doesn't crash anymore.

Basically just bash your head against the wall until you smash clean through to the other side.

>>183697951
Oh and if you can't figure out something, check the wiki or ask for help. I usually don't ask for help until I've tried to solve the problem and failed so many times that I know I've developed tunnel vision and can't think a way out of the problem, thus necessitating a fresh perspective to clear things up, but do what you think is appropriate.

>>183697951
The best way to understand creature raws is to take existing creatures and modify them. The only thing particularly complex about creature raws are defining the bodies. Ask me any question if you have them and I may be able to help.

I am looking at the ganbu now and their creature file looks okay but there seems to be a token declaring that members of the [MALE] caste have facial hair when the species has no hair. Have you thought about messing with the attributes they have more flavor?

>>183705457
Oh the facial hair thing is just leftovers probably. Also funnily enough all my other creatures have custom attributes. I must have just forgotten to do that with the Ganbus.

Apparently the expedition leader made a big mistake by landing the last blow on the infected kid. Everyone went after him and now he is dead. I thought this would go crazy ina full civil war but now only 2 guys are still fighting each other, we'll see what happen next.

One of the 2 guys got killed by a few others, but at least it's over now. I have no idea what it was all about, I thought it was a loyalty problem with the civilians attacking the infected soldier but only the expedition leader was part of this. Maybe they had secret grudges and try to pretend the other is infected to murder them or something.

>>183717767
I can't wait for you to have to hand draw hundreds of invaders. Why don't you outline your pictures? Or at least draw harder lines. I think this is one of your better ones because of the more defined lines.

Thanks for the feedback. I will work on line weight, I agree it needs improvement.. That being said, when I start getting these scanned, they will turn out better. the lines are much easier to make out IRL than they are in these potato photos.

(Previous: >>183717767)

this one is much worse in regards to line weight. But you see how the left side of the picture is more defined than the right? its the glare from my desk lamp on the right hand side. Again, sorry, I really need to start scanning these - they would look so much better.

>>183721353
Oh yeah, that glare really affects it.

>>183683010
I would really love to be abel to play multiplayer worlds. I randomly thought about that yesterday. Basically it works like this:
Server calculates world and offscreen events and gives players notifications if something enters their world from outside (invaders, merchants, etc) and gets notified from events that happen in the fortresses when someone leaves (their stories being able to travel around that way). Would make a cool multi-player world where people can compete on who can build the best stuff/have the most people/etc

The way I heard it, there was an incident involving someone trying to make a magma-heated hot spring. The survivors left the mountainhomes in shame, hoping to make an outpost far enough away to escape the indignity.

Their outpost would then go a year without leadership after a wereelephant outbreak left a 37-year-old girl (no, really) as the only survivor of the original population, while a troll spent most of that year trying and failing to destroy a single bedroom door.

The accuracy increase from an artifact will make it an "okay" weapon, in that it will be accurate.
A silver one would be around 26225 grams, or 57.81623 pounds, making it worse than a silver war hammer, obviously.

It's a hammer. Made to break bones and crack skulls. What do you expect? Also, I'm not good with math, so I might have messed that up.

>7850 kilograms per cubic meter, so 400 cubic centimeters, so about 19625 grams for a hammer.

bad math nibba
1 cu m = 1 000 000 cu cm
7850 Kg = 7 850 000 g
= 7.85 g per cu cm
* 400
=3140 grams (3.14 Kg)
3.14 Kg = 6.922515 lbs (~ 6 pounds 14.75 ounces)

Have any of you tried succession forts, where you each take turns running the fort? They've always been really fascinating to me.

Thanks. I knew I messed up here.

>>183729538
>>183729190
following this same math
a silver warhammer would be 4.2 Kg (9 pounds 4 ounces)

how is it that the goblin civ can be extinct yet I have friendly gobbos hanging out in my fort barding and soldiering and whatnot. shouldn't they be the only ones with other races in their civ, given they're the only ones who kidnap people?

an interesting aside, I always thought kidnapping children and raising them was retarded self-cuckery and made no sense for a civilization to do, but apparently it was common among the mi'kmaq and other northeastern NA native tribes to steal children during raids in times of war and raise them as members of the tribe to replenish their populations. I guess they never developed a strong concept of racial groups, and thus never considered the idea of racial preference.

Reanimating biome is an okay challenge, but what I think is the hardest is reclaiming a fort from death by thralling mist.

>>183733763
in reanimating biome is there a way to play with meat industry? they can literally reanimate the moment you kill them. and also caverns can be dangerous.

>>183734050
Yes. Only slaughter tame animals, no killing them, and butchery surrounded by cage traps all sides. That should do it.

>>183734050
Wouldn't body parts reanimate the moment you hack them off?

>>183734531
i'm also regularly get grazers die from starving. and that troglodytes from caverns, shit, they can just sneak in your fortress, die, and then you'll have undead troglodyte. with no or almost no military

>>183734936
First: Cage traps entrance to caverns. Lava. DOORS you can lock. A bridge for emergencies.
Grazers? Atom-smash/slaughter them until you have a large enough pasture. Pets? Unless they're poultry, atom-smash.

That's not possible. They are exclusive to adventurer, and you can't control individual dwarves in fortress. If you had a party of seven in adventurer, it still shouldn't be possible. They are birthed into existence by a lonely adventurer, and die as soon as the sun rises, or he escapes.

Where can I get some random adamantine equipment in adventure mode? and what are these asterisks on the fast travel map?

>>183740764
you should not value your girlfriend over your friends anon

>>183741049
Occasionally vaults can have candy stuff, but otherwise only your forts can create it.

Asterisks represent entities. If they're static and surrounding a hamlet, hillock, fortress, town, or forest retreat, then they're either an encamped army or fleeing refugees.

If they're moving, they're probably wanderers, bandits, boogeymen, or wild animals.

What were some projects you attempted to accomplish?

I once tried to build a fort that was above water. I chose a lake and built some sort of harbor/row house sort of thing. It went pretty well until I got swarmed with migrants. Eventually, I got bored and submerged the whole thing underwater. 85% of the population died.

>>183743613
Oh! Well, everyone has to start somewhere. I hope you will soon get some interesting stories together as well. Maybe try embarking on harder biomes. Like a scorching evil desert. This one is actually very fun as the surface is quite hellish, so if you limit your pop to about 50 it gets way more interesting suddenly. And the upsides of limiting your population are higher fps and you being more interested in each person and caring about them more. This is how truly interesting stories happen, as you kinda get every character in your fort a story as you read their status and work with their messages and feelings. I would read Archcrystal for inspiration on how to play and build an extremely interesting game.

>>183754196
Stabbing attacks and attacks to the upper and lower body tend to get stuck more in my experience (mostly with swords, to be fair).

Get good with a slashing weapon and/or fists and have it on hand. Potentially outdated wiki says being impaled makes it harder for enemies to dodge (which I think still works, though I haven't tried much recently). You can still miss, but they won't jump away.

>>183754374
You can add inequalities for quantity as a condition for work orders though.

>>183754667

>>183754207
Right now I just keep "dye thread" and "dye cloth" on repeat but the cancellation warnings are driving me insane. I have a fairly large scale cloth industry (it is my favorite industry) and it is mostly automated in workflow but I can't figure out a solution for dyeing for several reasons (no stockpile distinction between dyed and not, workflow cannot predict output) but I refuse to not dye my cloth. Turning one single pig tail seed into products worth an excess of 5000 urists total will never not be neat to me.

So a futa dwarf simply has two beards, one male and one female.

Is it normal for a fort of ~60 to have 30 dedicated haulers and STILL be bottlenecked by hauling? Do I really HAVE TO start laying out hauling routes and making minecarts?

>>183762552
For me that would be an example of trying to do "too much", like most of the industries in the game. Aside from obvious weapon/armorsmithing, I tend to only do 2/3 industries in dept. I run microforts of 40/50 and rarely have problems.

>>183762837
>doing too much
That's probably the issue, but how do you handle it?
Spending time designing all sorts of complexes, setting up industries, and creating squads is fun, but unpausing and waiting seven years for anything to get done is agony. And everything I can possibly do to distract myself requires pausing the game and making everything take EVEN LONGER!
It seems like There's nothing between "tiny dirt hol crammed with farmplots and workshops" and "1000x1000 industrial warehousing and mining complex. And the second one takes fucking forever to get done.
Maybe I'm just addicted to megaconstructions.
What exactly do you DO in your fort with 50 dwarves?

>>183764257
It's not so much about doing less but doing less concurrently. I build, generally. Also DF is a great game to have while paying attention to something else, I often read while playing for example.

the human traders left as soon as they arrived. Is that normal?

Only if you mod deviant fetishes into the game.

Do dorfs taken by mood respect burrows? If I prepared a burrow with workshops and a stockpile of raw materials, then assigned a moody dorf to it once the announcement pops out, would it work?
Forbidding stuff is pain in the ass and disrupts the work of other dwarves.

>>183768947
Look, Toady clearly had some sort of psychological break that caused him to shave his own beard and mistakenly remove the beards from female dwarves, I'm not modding shit there, I'm correcting the worst mistake a man or dwarf can make: shaving their beard.

Humanoid made out of Granite:
>"Beware it's lust for blood"
>Appeared early in my fortress' run
>All attacks from swords and spears glanced away
>Killed 4 soldiers before a hammerdwarf smashed it's face
>Total kill count: 4 soldier and 2 civilians
Humanoid made from rubicelle:
>Beware it's noxious secretions
>Easily dispatched
>Secretions didn't seem to do anything
>After a while some animal's limbs started rotting
>Every animal died from the blight
>Kill count: Every animal unfortunate enough to be on the map during the blight
A humanoid made from nickel:
>Magma resistant
>Bypassed all my doors simply by taking the magma aquaduct
>Military was already in the cave and it took a while until they were back at the surface
>Civilian retreat out of the fortress couldn't be done as fortress was on lockdown because of a siege
>Was easily dispatched
>Kill count: 22 civilians
A spider made out of vomit:
>"Beware it's fire"
>Yuck
>Set entire cave ablaze
>2 shot comboed by spitting webs and fire
>Killed by giant cave spider
>Cave spider burned to death
>Kill count: Some cave creatures

Looks like I was able to solve the problem by giving monarch a [SQUAD:10:royal guard:royal guards] token. King still can't be appointed as a normal commander, but can lead his own squad.
Although it seem like it doesn't work on already existing worlds (even though I modified the save raws), so for testing I made the king [APPOINTED_BY:EXPEDITION_LEADER] and [SITE]. Dunno if this might influence the ability to create a squad.

I'm a complete modding noob, so if anyone has a better idea how to make aristocrat commanders, I'd love to hear it. Especially if it can be applied without generating a new world.

Im going to make a fort entirely based on cheese industry, sounds comfy as fuck.

>>183797627
Nice man i did a fort solely on pottery and glazing once. Turns out to be very lucrative.

>>183796297
The only way I've ever done it is by appointing the dwarf as a squad leader before they're promoted to their noble position. It's easy to do with your site nobles, but you would have to arrange it with an heir for a monarch. Not impossible, just a pain.

This is my fight too. Begone archive!

Is there a way to flood the whole surface while the fort is safe below?
I guess maybe by doing a lot of tunneling on a sea shore, but has anyone done something like that?

What's the most detailed tileset? As in, I'll instantly be able to recognize what it is I'm looking at 100 percent of the time.

I have defeated the titan with my bare hands!

>>183796297
After some more testing, it looks like the [SITE] token is necessary for the squad creation. However my testing methods were flawed, since I used the "make-monarch" command, so there might be some difference in game's behavior if king actually comes from the mountainhome instead of being magically produced with memory hacking tool. I will leave the [SQUAD:10:royal guard:royal guards] in the raws and report if it worked in the actual game. Assuming I won't forget about this, of course.
That being said, "make-monarch" can be used to get a king commander without modding by simply having some filthy plebeian hold the crown for a bit while his majesty puls on his steel pants.

Intriguingly, one of my countless embarks actually had a queen as one of the starting dorfs and it was the only monarch without [SITE] token that could from a squad. That gives me a glimmer of hope that "make-monarch" might be the source of problems.

>>183816119
Sure they can. Most of them aren't hostile, but giant keas, vultures and buzzards will attack as a matter of course while attempting to steal your shit. Sometimes a particularly ornery giant owl will start shit. Giant eagles are murder machines. If you luck into an elf siege where they're riding flying mounts any of them can be dangerous. That normally timid giant wren will fuck a dwarf up with an elf on its back.

Im still stuck at the designing bedrooms stage

>>183826441

>>183808789
I recently WRESTLED a kea into 5 different pieces!

>>183826525
I wish I could do something this simple.

>>183808789
I RECENTLY LASHED A KEA IN HALF

>>183825758
Two forts ago I created a stupidly complex, multi-level minecart system distributing ores and metal bars. Honestly, it created more problems than solved. Unless you have to transport shitloads of stuff from one side of the embark to another, wheelbarrows and a lot of bored dorfs are good enough.

However minecarts have some other uses, like quantum stockpiles, transporting magma, launching stuff or grinding goblins.

>3x3

>>183828453
shut up. 3x3 is much more convenient than 2x2 because you can make much more symetric forts with it.
2x2 sucks ass. 3x3 is the true master race

What about 9x9?

>>183829092
Why the fuck would you need so many stairs.

>>183828572
3x3 central pillar with spiral ramp around it master race.

>>183828917
2x2 is shit too

>>183829207
This

How do 3x3 stairs even look like in real life

>>183829092
good to train legendary miners

>>183829092
maybe 14x8?

>>183829174
Because 9x9 is actually a 3x3 made from 3x3 stairs.

>>183829338
14x88
