I don't care until the above is implemented... or magic.

>>1905502
Sadly leather armor is really bottom of the barrel as a material for armors. If you have no military grade metal at all on your map then you will have to survive on wooden and rock traps and rock weapons until you can trade or farm enough goblinite. You can also use wood trainining weapons so that your dorfs can at least train with something in the meanwhile

Considering that 47.xx is where DF was frozen due to premium development. I would say that some of that is already partialy in game. While the rest was supposed to come after adventure mode and before he jumped into myth and magic. But ever since Toady decided to drop the big thematic update format, I cant really tell for sure whats comming next until the Adventure mode beta ends.

you should say something about dfhack and some key mods (e.g. all civs playable, goblins have to eat - so you don't have only goblins in every world that's old) and also link to the advanced worldgen thread on bay12.
And some tutorials on youtube/twitch, like this:
https://www.twitch.tv/nirruden/videos

is it true they got rid of capitalism because it would break the game?

It didn't break the game it was just stupid and didn't add anything except another way for your fort to die unless you engaged in excessive micromanagement. Remember back when seeing a dead body would lead to getting really sad and going crazy? It broke the game like that.

>>1906079
any updates on the adventure?

>>1906256
What they removed was a system where your fort dorfs would receive wages and have to pay bedroom rents and buy things they wanted like food, instead of just taking it from a stockpile.
It was removed because it caused lag due to coin stacks being tracked and multiplying out of control. And because it was janky as fuck and caused all sorts of troubles like your dorfs always going into negative balance because all the cooks in your fort were 3-start michellin, and the only food avaliable to buy were expensive masterwork meals

>>1906307
>any updates on the adventure?
I walked in circles looking for that temple since nobody could tell me anything about it when asking for directions, until I walked into a monastery compound with some armed goblins who initiated combat with one of my followers.
Then I got a maul to the noggin and died.

I did a search on legends and turns out the temple I was looking was exactly in same town I started and all had to do was talk to that guy above the text box >>1906079, and he would give a fetch quest to retrive what I suppose is some of the new stuff add or a piece of divine material.

>>1906666
Do they have the hostile tag?
Anyways If they are running while chasing the elephant then they will probably tire out but that could also happen to your elephant + starvation since elephants need to be constantly grazing to survive.
But also there is a high possibility that your elephant could kill them if it desires to do so
Better kill them in anycase, they are pretty weak to anything with basic training and weapons

Hey dwarf bros I'd like to report a bug :^)

This is my hospital, it has a good stock of
>gypsum plaster
>wooden splints
>wooden crutches
>soap
>cloth
>thread
>beds
>tables
All stored in chests
>1 (one) traction bench for reasons that will become apparent
present and assigned also
>bone doctors
>diagnosticians
>just plain doctors
>chief medical dwarf
their labor is set to all healthcare except feed prisoners/patients and recover wounded, exclusive

So here's the bug: dwarf gets stuck on traction bench forever, with no treatment scheduled and no doctoring tasks being created
It's been plaguing this specific fortress for a couple decades now and I have no idea what causes it
I tried throwing away old traction benches and making new ones, recreating the hospital several times, pausing/unpausing the hospital it's all the same
If you have had any similar experience, advice on how to unfuck the hospital would be appreciated

>>1907395
Tried changing labor up a little bit with enabled feed prisoners/patients and recover wounded, non-exclusive, healthcare set to "everybody does this", everything
Same old shit, patient stuck in "in traction" and "no treatment scheduled" while doctors hang out in hospital with "no job"

>>1907395
>>1907398
Is he stuck on a traction bench that you cant deconstruct or he keeps going back to one everytime?
What does his heath tabs say? Does he actually has any open wounds untreated or he is just being a munchausen queen.

>>1907395
Did you assign the doctor[s] to the hospital?

>>1907406
>Is he stuck on a traction bench that you cant deconstruct or he keeps going back to one everytime?
I can deconstruct the traction bench and it's the only way to free the bastard, the 2 injured dwarves keep coming back waiting for traction

Hmm.
I remember having, or reading about overlapping fractures causing this kind of issues way back then (or that they might require that dwarf stay stuck in benches for quite a long time). There might be something writen about it in the wiki or in the bay12 forums

>>1907416

Yeah I'm not seeing compound fracture on the waiting list that might be it

>>1907421
>>1907417
Dorfs on bay12 say overlapping fractures are weird and every time you deconstruct the traction bench the fracture gets re-broken and you just need to let them cook (2013)
Someone smart also says using gui/gm-editor to remove overlapping flag from fractures fixes it (v0.47)
I will try both, but that's enough DF for today fuck I hate this dumb broken game

>>1907421
>Yeah I'm not seeing compound fracture on the waiting list that might be it
So, this dorf stuck in the bench has no wounds that require tending or that require immobilized rest but somehow he keeps getting flagged to be placed in a bench, from what Im understanding?

If all else fails and not even DFhack can fix his ass, then either accept the bdsm munchie queen in his new pemanent home or pray that you can exile his ass if you cant stand looking at him

>>1907412
>No, durr, who would do something like that?
You're supposed to assign doctors to hospitals in the newest version. In older versions would just work at whatever hospital had patients.

>>1907395
post the dwarves injuries
depending on severity they might be in traction for months
after a poison dust beast attack I had packed traction benches for almost a year as necrosis was rampant

>>1907424
>So, this dorf stuck in the bench has no wounds that require tending or that require immobilized rest but somehow he keeps getting flagged to be placed in a bench, from what Im understanding?
No, he has fractures that need setting but nobody is applying plaster or splints to him
Maybe traction comes first then plaster?

>>1907433
I'll try letting them cook it's just weird not having a doctor diagnose them or do anything

>>1907424
>If all else fails and not even DFhack can fix his ass, then either accept the bdsm munchie queen in his new pemanent home or pray that you can exile his ass if you cant stand looking at him

>>1907440
>Maybe traction comes first then plaster?
I dont think I ever stopped to pay attention to this. I know that tactions are used when shit is real fucked up like removing organs and internal injuries and fractures, so I will assume that if splinters/plaster are required they will come after it.
I will second what the other Anon, some fractures dmight require the lil niggas to be bdsm'ed for some time until they heal.
You might as well check if he has the slow healing attribute, because that could mean extra time in the traction.

You can use DFhack's full-heal (select the dwarf first) to make him pristine again, rather than removing a specific fracture through gm-editor.

Full keybord support is probably going to be next on the to-do list after adventure mode is out in the next few months

Tips for getting rid of corpses?
Every year I have ~100 elves and ~100 goblins show up, that's 200+ corpses per year
I tried pitting them into a surface garbage pile, that's slow because the mass dumb command dumps their equipment too
I tried throwing them into magma, that's also slow and creates a pile of unmelted iron crap

I had a couple of squads in training, don't really know if I should try taking on those undead again, was thinking of building fortifications around them or something. Didn't see marksmen using archery targets while in training, but I think everything is set up properly in there. I also want to send them into caves, but it's a pain to check what dangers are in there.
Should I close down library to avoid nerds fighting? Should I remove all necromancers from my fort? Should I figure out who keeps grabbing golden statues in the library (probably that goblin scholar)?

not every undead in DF is like a resident evil zombie. Some of them are quite literaly super human and even have magical powers or can instantly turn other cratures into more super human undeads through bites. Even the most basic bitch undead can still be dangerous, even after the nerfs, because they dont play by the same rules as normal living beings (getting debilitated by fear, pain, tiredness, multilation, nervous system damage and others)

Does having unmolten iron trash in your magma trash chute impact performance?

>>1908937
Technicaly yes. How much of an impact it would cause however, would depend on the amount and if it is making constant temperature checks and calculations or not.
If it isnt, then the amount of impact wouldn't be any worse than all the 5000+ stones you typicaly have laying around your fortress.
If it this doing temperature calcalations, then it will be something that might be a problem if this pile keeps growing

Guys i need help, i have this cool fort but it's from that version where the orcs are missing from the sieges, maybe two versions before the adventures mode update, so if i play now this would be fixed? i think i read somewhere i gonna need a new world to play with orcs again, i don't want to play in an outdated world but i really like this fort, i have steam DF beta branch installed.

Someone can give a qrd about the new features from i am missing playing in this world? i mean i still getting the update fixes, but some changes are worldbound right? what changes from that version to now in general? and what state and what's going on with adv. mode is right now?

I not sure think that the adventure beta branch is fully compatible, or if it is, then at least while beta it wont recognize a save from 50.xx because I remember it not letting me do so. But I could be wrong, so dont let me stop you. Further more if you want to experince the new adventure mode stuff you might need a new world gen anyways, even if it same as your old one but using the same seeds
You should still be able to play in the lastest main branch version (50.14) with your save without issues however

He means the one after the mega

So I've made it a year in. When do my dwarves actually start moving furniture? I've had a bunch of bedrooms set to have a bed and door delivered for literally six months and nobody has gotten around to it. Is there some priority system I'm not seeing? Am I running too many workshops?(2 crafts, carpenter, and stone with 18 dwarves)

Returning player here.
I've been trying to gen a world with a dead dwarf civ to try out a "rebuild civilization" scenario. Managed to gen a world that had absolutely everyone dead except about 100 000 gobbos. There were no elf civs left, zero dorfs left alive with one civ officially "dead" but playable, all the humans dead but their civs populated by goblins etc. Still I'm getting migrants and caravans like nothing had happened. Every yearly Legends dump shows more dwarves alive in the world, apparently just materializing out of thin air at the edge of my map.
Apparently that "first two hardcoded migrant waves and then nothing" isn't a thing anymore.

Not everything goes on bins.
Also check the the stockpile configurations if bins are actually enabled on that particular stockpille, the dorfs will start reorganizing things into bins gradualy after a while
Further more if you have wheelbarrows assigned to a stockpile, it will limit the number of dwarfs hauling things there to number of avaliable wheelbarrows in that stockpile

>>1909780
bins and barrels are the first thing you make out of wood right after beds, and unlike beds you automate that shit so there's always empty bins and empty barrels
if you already have a stockpile of just loose crap it takes a while for it all to get put into bins

Im impressed that you managed to save pieces of your wagon for this long

>>1909830
so it seems like the main problem i'm having is that they never put anything in stockpiles, I just have mountains of crafted goods sitting on the workshop floor
do I need to have like, three dwarves assigned only to hauling or something? they're all fucking around with the pig tail seeds i bought from the dwarf caravan two seasons ago

>>1910137
Without actually playing your save, I would guess that your issue is with your dorfs not having to many labors and not having enough time to do hauling work (and you not having enough children to do that as they were meant to in this current version)
You should also check to see if it isnt a stockpile configuration problem. If your stockpile for example, has even one wheelbarrow assingned to it, then it limits the number of dwarfs that can make deliveries to this stockpile to the number of wheelbarrows the stockpile has iirc
Also seeds are stored in bags first before going to barrels, so this could also be a source of haulers ineficiency as they are trying to stockpile seeds one by one.

>>1910140
yeah i only have like 18 dwarves and have gotten no migrants for the past 2 seasons, so that's probably a factor. do you have to manually assign wheelbarrows and bins to each stockpile? that would explain a lot about why they're not getting used, i'm just using default settings atm

>>1910142
You are given a manual control for bins and wheelbarrows as an option, but I dont remember what configuration they come with by default.
Also, dorfs will sometimes drag stuff into stockpiles first before they actually start organizing them into bins.
Since you are still at a low pop, I would recomend that you dont bother with trying to stockpile everything yet with the exception of food and drink, and specific items like ores for your smelthers which benifts from being transported via wheelbarrows due to their heavy weight.

Have you actually verified this from your stockpiles menu (Im assuming that you have an Bookkeeper keeping track of your items); or you are assuming this from messages telling you that some dwarf canceled his planting job due to having no seeds?
Because if it is later it could be just a hauling job conflict where one dwarf trying to take a bag/berrel of seeds will block all the other dorfs from accessing those seeds (the same goes for dorfs hauling newly produced seeds back to stockpiles)

>>1910770
Use stockpile configurations and chaining orders to filter the plants that you want to mill.

>>1910763
How many plump helmets do you have? The most common reason for running out of seeds is that you planted them all so they're currently being stored in your stockpiles as plump helmets.

>>1910779
frankly plump helmets need to be overhauled because it's a fucking mushroom, one plump helmet spawn should give many, many plump helmets because that's how mushrooms work

My theory is that during the initial Toady flip out when he signed with Kitfox, they, in their retarded quest to "mom" the game into a casual experience, demanded no useless scenarios after world gen. So now migrants and caravans are hardcoded. Same reasoning behind why babies are a thing and dragons are tameable now.

Sometimes you can. It depends on what it is made of. The biggest issue is that they weight so much that they will most likely rot before one of your dorfs can drag back inside your fort. But that pretty easy to solve, most of the time, by simply building a butcher shop right next to it.

>>1911265
We cant really say how batshit magic will/can get until the magic update is done, since the biggest aspect of it is that it will be proceduraly generated. But it also be the player will have some control over by chosing how much magic will be prevalent when generating a world as per Toady own words
The only real reference we can get is the magic abilities that are already in the game, that until now was avaliable only to special undeads. But apparently it is also now avaliable to the player with help of the magical item as of the last adventure beta release.

And of course, we always had necromancy which has aways been pretty broken to put it lightly.

>>1911265
completely broken undoubtedly

>>1911279
Blisters Causes the target to grow blisters all over their bodies. Does not hamper fighting ability, making it mostly useless in a fight.

Dizziness The target is affected by dizziness, possibly inconveniencing them in combat.

Pain The target is afflicted with pain, to the point of being stunned by it.

Suffocate Causes the target to become winded. Does not last long enough to kill by suffocation, but will make the target take longer to take actions.

Bleeding The target suffers blood damage across the body. Can stack, leading to death by blood loss if multiple undead use it on the same target.

Sicken The target coughs blood, vomits blood and/or feels nauseous, leaving them vulnerable.

Blind The undead deprives its victim of sight temporarily, making them appear as if blind. In adventurer mode, it appears to have a typo, giving the message "You your sight is fading!"Bug:11858 Creatures with
[EXTRAVISION] are immune to this power.

>>1911284
Rot A random body part of the target will suffer minor necrosis. Can lead to extreme fun if the body part ends up being a dwarf's/your adventurer's eyes.

Paralysis The target is completely paralyzed. Generally leads to near-instant death in most creatures, as paralysis of the diaphragm leads to suffocation.

Raise Fog The undead changes the weather to create a temporary fog, limiting vision.

Ice Bolt The undead launches a sharpened bolt of ice at the target, causing varying physical harm.

Vanish The undead immediately enters stealth, becoming invisible. Players are unable to retaliate, block, or dodge against the undead's attacks, due to not being able to target them, but may hit them with thrown items.
Creatures with [EXTRAVISION] can see the undead normally, negating the power.

Propel Away The undead blasts the target with force, launching them away from it. Effect varies on the foe's weight; smaller creatures can be seriously injured if they impact with a surface, while heavier targets can resist or
flat-out shrug off the blow. Can be used to free the undead from a grapple.
