does anybody else get the bug with the siege engines?
not sure about catapults but whenever my ballista dorfs actually hit a zombie the game crashes.
Is this just me?

we should develop an art canon for dorf fort so if you have little skill drawing you can still make art for the thread!

>>184095456
Thatd be nice, I want to make some art to commemorate my dorf who was constantly starting fights with the same 2 other dorfs and lost every single one of them
I suck at art though

>>184095759
>tfw never got past the first level in that game

>>184095880
IVFM is actually unique among Toady's games, in how it actually has great gameplay. the visual cues the game offers are just good enough to make it challenging and beatable at the same time, and the penalties for clicking the wrong room are just enough.

I really recommend gitting gud at this game. for the rough 30 mins-1h that the game lasts, it's a real blast.

>>184090130
Doing something like this, except multilayered, is my dream. Hopefully one day I'll be good enough.

Don't use ballistae or weapon traps in this version, if the weapon/ballista arrow gets destroyed, the game crashes because that dumb Toad shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the languages with pointers.

The list is down to about twenty nuggets like this, which take a day or two each. Not that I'd extrapolate a release date from that... it never works that way. But we're getting there.

I can feel it, the release will be in less than a year.

one of my miners is just stood in the dining hall holding his pick not mining, its turned on in labor and preferences. he's a few levels lower than my other miner so he probably stopped mining a while ago. what do?

>>184095456
Ill keep posting my sketches err day and will take requests if anyone asks. Scanner just got delivered too so no more grainy lamp glare photos. feed me more (You)s

>>184102085
Isolate the problem.
general (non-exhaustive) list of possible causes someone isn't doing his job: he doesn't have the necessary tool, his arm is injured, he's just not doing it yet (check the jobs list), he can't reach the job site, someone else is doing it, his labor isn't enabled, he's on break/sleeping/eating


My bet is on you fucking up the designations trapping him somewhere down without a way up.

>>184102458
i literally embarked 25 minutes ago, once he dug out the dining room he has just stayed in there holding his pick with no job, the other miner is digging out the rest of the area around him just fine

>>184102582
What about other dwarves, what about other jobs, what about the same job in other places?
Again, isolate the problem.

>>184102719
hes now looking for vermin to eat despite being in the dining room surrounded by plump helmet roasts, is it possible to have dorfs with down syndrome or something?

>>184102871
Show us your unit, job and labor manager/v->p->l screens and the meeting hall. Also did you create any burrows?

>>184102871
What's his favorite food?
Anyway, my guess is still you fucked up stairs or something. What about other dwarves? are there other dwarves that can't access the mining area? Or the dining room?

>>184103041
>>184103094
i just saved and reloaded and now he's mining fine again. for the record he had no other labors on apart from masonry, there were no active burrows, and my other dwarves were getting food from the barrels next to him just fine

>>184102440
bby scan your previous ones

>>184103268
Well, it sometimes just happens. When I removed a tavern, everyone got back to work, except for one miner who was too drunk to notice that party's over and kept socializing with dust and gabbro tables for almost a month.
Eventually he got thirsty, left his fascinating companions and started mining again.

Is there any worldgen wizard that can tell me how to get a world with lots of major rivers?

>>184104924
i mean thinking practically, if you have lots of mountains spread out and lots of rainfall then rivers will follow.

A dwarf left a trail of tears. Looks like the trail goes cold at a parchment called The Village and Beyond.

On the other hand, having a fuckload of artifacts stashed somewhere isn't ideal either.

Less cool spots to embark, much lower chance to influence the world, higher chance to get invaded by the shitty kind of werebeast.

How do you do this from fortress mode? I can't think of much

Man I really like that calendar date changer script but I wish the game didn't make it so the days would get slower the longer you left it on. 20 years is about as far as you can go before it becomes unbearable. Not 20 years period though I'm talking about 20 years per time you start a new game in the world and the calendar activates.

Tantrum spirals were never intended anyway, so they probably aren't ever coming back unless the pendulum swings too far back in the other direction when he starts tweaking personalities again.

There's the problem - Toady wants phisacs and complex chemistry as well but he's afraid to overburden CPU too much. I'm pretty sure we'll get something mediocre in the coming decade, probably even IRL-like mechanics.

Haha fuck. After doing some testing in adventure mode I've discovered that eventually wars will just stop fucking happening after a few decades because every single fucking soldier in all the civs are no longer available since they all fell asleep in previous sieges

fucking reeee

>>184135106
You can, it just takes some finagling. Try this.
Forbid the contents of the barrel, but not the barrel itself. Dump a bunch of ammo or whatever onto the tile with the barrel. Next caravan, designate the barrel to be hauled to the depot. Your dwarves should pour its contents out on its tile before hauling it off. Alternately, you may be able to dump the barrel (but not its contents) to achieve the same effect.
I may have the specifics of this trick wrong, I haven't done it in a few years. You might want to practice with sandbags or barrels of booze before using your more limited venom supplies.

>>184137535
That bug only happens in adventure mode when the player is on site. If you retire your adventurer or just never go back to where the armies were they go about their business normally.

>>184137825
I might just be unlucky then? I haven't seen any wars in 60 years

Depends on the syndrome. If it's [syn_contact] any hit will apply it. If it's [syn_injected] any hit that draws blood and also does not sever the part will apply it. You can't do inhaled or ingested syndromes.

You should probably give your dorfs gloves if its [syn_contact]. Dunno if its strictly necessary though.

>tfw release by next year
>>184140526
Cheer up. You have waited this long you can manage!

>>184137974
Yeah, whether or not a creature is asleep (or any of the other day-to-day activity of their lives) isn't considered in the background simulation at all. It isn't until the creature gets loaded locally by the player's presence that things like personal needs and daily schedules are considered. That's half the problem with the bug we're talking about; their routines aren't updating properly when the player is around, and when the local map unloads and reloads, it just remember what was going on before and picks back up where it left off. But the fort mode and calendar advancement timescales abstract everything a lot more, and don't know or care if a unit is sleeping in the background sim.

I'm gonna go ahead and say the release is about 50 to 70 days away, maybe 80-85 but that would be pushing it.

>>184140345
Yeah, but mostly their effects take a whole lot longer to incapacitate or kill a creature than normal combats will last. Interestingly, bee venoms are probably the most effective thing to use. While something like black mamba venom will take a few minutes to start having any effect, and a few hours to kill something, bee venoms apply a small pain effect instantly, which slightly reduces the skill rolls of whatever you put a hole in. Granted, it's usually going to be a lot less pain than the hole itself. This is really the kind of thing you would do because it's cool, not because it's useful.

>>184148609
32 was 16 too much. I suspect it's one of the reasons that it strained the general so much.

128 would kill the general entirely.

If you're not an enthusiast of hundreds of rotting corpses lying around, you can build some tracks and make a minecart route that takes stuff from refuse stockpile and dumps it into the magma. Works really well and honestly, I just like how it makes the fort a tiny bit more alive and believable.

>>184156890
God damn that is actually a pretty good story, repenting and making peace with her condition before accepting the blade at the end.

are the first migration waves automatically generated or do they take from the current dwarven population of the world?

>>184159113
I know! This kind of stuff is the best part about this game. I might even go in character and writefag it up.

>>184159253
First two waves are guaranteed to show up, even if your starting 7 are the last dwarves on Earth.

But I don't know how exactly it works if there are still dwarves left. I don't know if it just uses the usual migration code or if it magically generates them.

It take existing dwarves (if they exist), it should be pretty obvious if you ever look at one of them

I HAVE A DORF EMERGENCY

The dwarven caravan came, only they seem to be stuck trying to unload. It's like one hasn't showed up to the depot yet.

Well I looked around and it seems one of them is stuck in a tree. If I cut the tree down, will I lose the caravan? Will I trigger a loyalty cascade?

>>184166882

When playing in adventure mode, does anyone play as a character who butcher's their kills and carves rings and amulets out of their bones so that they eventually amass a large collection of jewelry made by the slain victims of their carnage?

I have built my up my character with grinding and adventuring for grand loot. I'm about to storm the necromancer tower with my bare hand and steel shield.

Sadly, swamps and marshes are pretty hard to tell apart from ostensibly drier places. The biggest difference I've noticed is the fauna.

>>184114978

>>184125142
I like to call that stuff dwarven happy meal toys.

>>184166329
Define best.

>>184166882
I doubt killing them by tree felling will trigger a loyalty cascade, but it might fuck up trading, possibly permanently. Building stairs is probably the best choice, unless it's a whole wagon that got stuck up there.

>>184172189
Emphasis on large, since most butcherable animals will produce at least half a dozen bones.

I built the stairs. Shit was crazy, was like 6 levels high and I had to wind around branches.

Somehow one of the pack animals was up there too. Who knew horses could climb trees while carrying hundreds of pounds of crap?

>I doubt killing them by tree felling will trigger a loyalty cascade
Not a cascade exactly, but the woodcutter who cuts down a tree that results in an injury is treated as having attacked the injured dwarf, for whatever reason. Pic is an execution from just such an incident. It's notable that when this happened there was no crime in the justice screen or anything, the mayor/captain of the guard/broker just walked over and brained the guy, then went about his business. Not the only time I've seen it, but probably the funniest.

So the world I created has only 50 dwarves left, not including the 7 that will be create once I start playing. Is there any way to increase this population by editing the raws? if not, whats the best way to get the dorfs to FUCK

>>184167293
I can't imagine a way to do that which wouldn't just crash or corrupt the fuck out of the active data.

>>184174038
It's a lot harder than it ought to be. If they're within 10 years of age, of compatible sexual orientations, and have some attracting personality traits or shared preferences, then locking them in rooms together with nothing to do may eventually get them to form a relationship.

Veiled recommendation request? Not that I mind. Been getting back into dcss since the last time I played was like .16 and they are up to .20 now. Also Stellaris, transport fever (which is actually kind of similar to df's workshops) and some board games/tabletops.

How do I fight back, /dfg/?

>>184183338

1. start a bunch of adventurers in your secluded fortress, using the dfhack calendar tool so it only takes a day each

2. train them all until they are legendary fighters/weapon users/armor users/dodgers

3. unretire them and join them all to a single, leader adventurer as companions.

4. CRUSADE

Actually, you could probably do it.

Make a site for your adventurer. Make a mead hall zone. Do some great deeds and start recruiting gobbos into your dwarven government.

>>184185257
Like this
>>184185242

>>184185426
Oh, like getting other people to do it?

I mean, they're probably already gonna be at war with them. And there's not much you can do to personally make them more aggressive.

>>184185257
Probably wouldn't work on account of their ethical requirement to murder outsiders on sight.

>>184185648
I think I have a better idea. There are no elephant men, so:
>make a fortress in the middle of grizzly bear man country
>recruit grizzly bear men
>make massive amounts of grizzly bear man-sized armor
>retire fortress
>make grizzly bear man adventurer
>"sneak" into fort
>steal grizzly bear man armor
>recruit grizzly bear men
>the rest writes itself

>>184185792
You can exploit the dialogue menu to tell them of a great deed and then ask them to join you. Works every time.

>>184186107
You don't even need to steal it. You can just take it. Or even join the fortress as a militiabear yourself.

I don't know if there's anything he would even add to make it happen barring built-in sex. The relationships will just be more tags and dialogue buttons, but with lots of bugs.

The thing to look for would really be sparring in adventure mode. If we get nonhostile combat, sex is an easy addon.

I need ideas, ideas for entrances! What's the most elaborately defended gate in your fortress? Mine is a long narrow bridge across a cliff next to a waterfall, with another retracting bridge set to extend the river onto it, hopefully sweeping any invaders off the side and to a watery grave ~15z down.

lots of kids today believe that graphics are bad if you can see the pixels, so they also think that even the cheapest interpolation methods will make a pixel art sprite look better.

Sorry guys, I'm still at work. The wife of a coworker is in hospital giving birth, so I've got to fill in while he leaves. If when I get out it's not too late I'll post the royale (all thirty pics+commentary) if not, I'll do it tomorrow. Posting from phone so no trip, but this is actually me, and I'm definitely not dead. Sorry friends, I let you down once more ;-;

Should have went to the hospital with him to narrate the birth.
