Any critiques on this OP pasta? Anything missing that definitively should have been thereHopefully I keept the spelling mistakes down to a minimum
>>1905496What matters is that you actually generated a world and selected a location to strike the earth
Well I've taken care of most of the corpses, still have a bunch of body parts and undead chilling in the hospital.Now I have to figure out military, I don't have any metals other that gold and haven't tried getting leather yet, I also keep running out of seeds I think.
Adventure mode release this december or january? Place your bets. It seems to be almost done
>>1905499Why would he do that?
>>1905504So that he will actually play the game instead of OCDing over color schemes
https://youtu.be/4-7TtPX5uhgHow long until what he alludes to in this video comes to fruition? >>1905503I don't care until the above is implemented... or magic.
>>1905502Sadly 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
>>1905509>video from 6 years ago>47.01 date of release: 2020-01-29>47.01 introduced creation of guildhalls and temples. Introduced traitors and villains. Many new events in world generation, organizations, sites, pets and mounts in adventure mode, light aquifers.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.

>>1905656the whole post is for those too dumb to figure out these things themselves, and was made to answer the questions of the steamfag explosion at the time.
>everyone in the library suddenly starts fightingBut why?
>>1905921It might have something to do with half a dozen of necromancers and a zombie
>>1905499yes but id also like a small square curses set and im not sure if i like the 16x16 version that comes with lnp i dont like how the default curses warps based on zoom level
Hmm...Im about to see what this chosen stuff is all about
>>1905497you 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.
>>1906079any updates on the adventure?
>>1906256What 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. I try doing a take two later today
I have a goblin pit nearby with ~20 population, but no matter how many squads I send to raise they find nothing and it still stands. Is it a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?
>>1906393I'm 90% sure it's a bug
I like building as much shit as possible out of rocks.Luv the rock furniture mod.
>>1906444>rock furniture modbut you can already make furniture out of rocks
>>1906449coulda sworn you need a mod for stone beds and mine carts
>>1906449I dont think you can make beds out of stone, but all the other furnitures are ok with it
>>1905497You're validating that one spamming faggot that would not shut the fuck up about DF threads being a general before the rule change.
So i dug into a cavern and and suddenly a bunch of trogs came out and started chasing my elephant.... Will they ever give up or do i gotta kill em ???
>>1906666Do 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 soBetter kill them in anycase, they are pretty weak to anything with basic training and weapons
>>1905496default ascii but square and with a custom color pallete is the peak DF experience
how does odd realm compares to DF? seems pretty cool and solid
>>1906743I never played but it looks like DF if had no autism, which is both a good and a bad thing
I wonder if that's all there is to it. I've been asked to retrieve the same items for a while now.
this shit is so addicting bvos....
>>1906827Hah, you say that now, wait until you start making your own creatures and entities.Once the modding starts, it will consume you.

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>tablesAll stored in chests>1 (one) traction bench for reasons that will become apparentpresent and assigned also>bone doctors>diagnosticians>just plain doctors>chief medical dwarftheir labor is set to all healthcare except feed prisoners/patients and recover wounded, exclusiveSo here's the bug: dwarf gets stuck on traction bench forever, with no treatment scheduled and no doctoring tasks being createdIt's been plaguing this specific fortress for a couple decades now and I have no idea what causes itI tried throwing away old traction benches and making new ones, recreating the hospital several times, pausing/unpausing the hospital it's all the sameIf you have had any similar experience, advice on how to unfuck the hospital would be appreciated
>>1907395Tried changing labor up a little bit with enabled feed prisoners/patients and recover wounded, non-exclusive, healthcare set to "everybody does this", everythingSame old shit, patient stuck in "in traction" and "no treatment scheduled" while doctors hang out in hospital with "no job"
>>1907395>>1907398Is 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.
>>1907395Did 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>What does his heath tabs say? Does he actually has any open wounds untreated or he is just being a munchausen queen.Overlapping fractures and smashed apart for 2 dwarves>>1907409No, durr, who would do something like that?! I tried assigning all regular doctors and specialized doctors none of it worksI can only assume my chief medical dwarf is cursed because that's the only variable I didn't mess with
>>1907412>>1907409>>1907406Hospital remade from scratch in case the cavern mud somehow was messing something upChief medical dwarf left vacantMinor injuries that don't need traction get resolved immediately
>>1907412>Overlapping fracturesHmm.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>Chief medical dwarf left vacantOK that's dumb since it disables the hospital completelyNew chief medical dwarf and a whole bunch of doctors, including bone doctorsNo dice>>1907417>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 forumsYeah I'm not seeing compound fracture on the waiting list that might be it
>>1907421>>1907417Dorfs 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 itSo, 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.
>>1907395post the dwarves injuriesdepending on severity they might be in traction for monthsafter 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 himMaybe traction comes first then plaster?>>1907433I'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 himjust flood the room with magma
>>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.
>>1905493>+ premium OSTI pirated the steam version but deleted it as soon as I heard the song. Fucking disgusting, it's like the trannies at Kitfox are raping my ears.
>>1906781That's a new item type, right? Does it do anything special?>>1907423You can use DFhack's full-heal (select the dwarf first) to make him pristine again, rather than removing a specific fracture through gm-editor.

dumbo questionhaven't been following df since it released on steam, is there any fix to have ye olde keyboard controls back? or I'm just old?
>>1907956no fix, nothing new yet either, so you're missing out on nothing, try the premium if you desire by grabbing it form here.
>>1907956Full keybord support is probably going to be next on the to-do list after adventure mode is out in the next few monthsIf you want the old UI however, that is most likely not comming back, unless the Lua script update also a includes the abbility to mod UI. Then it will be up to modders to bring the old UI back
>>1907963>>1907970thanks anons. no real feelings about the new UI, since I didn't play around too much with it.years using the keyboard controls and I have them hardwired in my brain
>>1907956>>1907990I played DF in 2014 then again in 2022 I can safely say the new UI is much easier to use because my fortresses have turned out way better with no extra effort

Tips for getting rid of corpses?Every year I have ~100 elves and ~100 goblins show up, that's 200+ corpses per yearI tried pitting them into a surface garbage pile, that's slow because the mass dumb command dumps their equipment tooI tried throwing them into magma, that's also slow and creates a pile of unmelted iron crapNow I'm trying an underground corpse garden where it's just a huge room with a human/elf/goblin corpse stockpile>inb4 some kind of magma cannon to burn away the corpses
>>1908219flood room with magma
>>1908220My magma stack is a piece of shit with 30+ MANUALLY OPERATED pumpsThere's a water moat in the wayAnd I'd have to poomp another 10 ZsAnd it'll evaporate before it burns away most of the corpses because the room is huge

I kinda stopped playing right now because there's nothing going on besides something like this >>1905921, also since I reclaimed the fortress there were a couple of undead left and they don't really cause problems or move, but I wanted to get rid of them once with untrained squad, but those guys got obliterated, I thought a rotting guy with brain and leg damage would be no problem and I thought wrong.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)?

>>1908373Good, good.Now you must mod your game.or take inspiration from the forts of old.https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Category:Modding_Exampleshttps://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Category:Tokenshttp://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=389e54fa0c239245eef5ce8539aa63d2&board=13.0http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=389e54fa0c239245eef5ce8539aa63d2&topic=168375.0
>>1908373>but those guys got obliterated, I thought a rotting guy with brain and leg damage would be no problem and I thought wrong.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?
>>1908937Technicaly 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
>>1908937>>1908954In any case, if you ever feel like this might be a problem you can aways DFhack it away

>>1909243Unless they change generation, which they haven't since 50.01 and the initial steam fortress update, then you can still play your old world.
>>1909243>>1909249As for Adv mode, it is almost up to speed with pre-steam df... almost.
Magma laced with magma
>>1909243I 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 >>1909251>As for Adv mode, it is almost up to speed with pre-steam df... almost.I think that as off the last beta update, it is pretty much side by side with with 47.xx Adventure Mode, since all Toady is working on now is the Chosen stuff and tutorials as per his monthly report

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.

okay so i'm new at this, how the fuck do i get my dwarves to use the bins i made?they took so long to haul all the goods to the trade depot that the caravan fucking left because they're grabbing them all one at a time
>>1909776>next questionHow do they do it? How can they manage to disappoint in new ways every time?
>>1909781tranniesand toady is checked out and heading for the beach
Yes, I am autistic enough to build thematic temples and other rooms.Say hi to The Hungry Church, where people worship The Foggy, the deity of water and nature that takes the shape of a female green devourer. The central statue is of the deity eating a lungfish while dwarves pray to it
>>1909780Not 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 whileFurther 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
>>1909780bins 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 barrelsif you already have a stockpile of just loose crap it takes a while for it all to get put into bins
>>1909830almost everything goes into bins, bags are supposed to go in barrels but that seems bugged
You like?
>>1910067nyet
>>1909769>>1909776Does building a bridge to an island to make caravans come still work?That's my next fortress idea
>>1910070You mean using fort(s) to connect two separated landmasses? I think you can still do that
>>1910092I want a volcano fort, but the only volcano is on an isolated islandSo I wanna build a yuuuuuuuuuuge bridge on a 7x2 embark or something to link it up
>>1910096Yes you can do that, and I think you dont even need to actually build a bridge for it work since the actuall terrain will get abstracted once you retire the bridge fort.
Found hundreds of snake people murdering my framerate, now they're forcing my military guys to go swimmingOnly one miner died so far which is amazing, maybe snake bites will kill more wounded guys
Snake people OP
Marksdwarf forgets to pick up ammo, pays the ultimate price
>>1910101>Only one miner died so far which is amazing, maybe snake bites will kill more wounded guysLost 4 axe/sword dudes and couple more civiliansDrowning and overexertion being chief causes of death
I don't look forward to fishing the corpses and adamantine weapons out of there
And this little beauty got woken up by the commotionI look forward to losing more of my experienced fighters to drowning and then losing the entire fort to this one
>>1910115Sounds like a good excuse for a minor project. Setting up some fortified positons so that you can drain the pools and retrieve the weapons
>>1909216Marksdwarves are gonna solo this fucking goblin siege since I'm still mopping up snake people>>1910124Frankly I'm retiring the fortress next year, framerate is BAD and it's rather boring besides all the goblin and dwarf sieges and elf and snake people ambushesHaven't seen an FB in decades, too many have died already
>>1910126>Marksdwarves are gonna solo this fucking goblin siegeNEVER MIND THEY GOT STUCK NOT PICKING UP AMMO AND DISOBEYING STATION ORDERSSomewhat depleted melee squads are mopping up the survivors
OK silver lining and all that
>>1910132
>>1910133>in wagon woodIm impressed that you managed to save pieces of your wagon for this long
>>1909830so 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 floordo 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
>>1910137Without 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.
>>1910140yeah 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
Local goblin turns into a goat mid-siege
>>1910142You 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.
>>1910145And this is the power of Friendship
>>1910145I hope it got cause some fun instead of getting an arrow between its eyes
the spritework on the steam version is ugly. when the fuck will i be able to change the tileset.

>>1910132How could a child have a non-craft mood? Can they learn at guild halls or something?
>>1910136Your starter wagon is made of some civ-available wood. Wagon wood is what you get when trader wagons deconstruct/"die".

>>1910163Yeah I wouldn't believe me hanging on to 48 year old wood
Aw bugger
You know, there's only like 18 demons in the underworldAnd the entrance to their clubhouse IS pure adamantineI could probably take them, right?Right now they seem content to swim in the magma sea
121 dorfs, 99082 wealth, plenty of food drink and I dont know what to do.
The clowns have got in through the magma pump area, bullying some peasants to death. One has breathed poison gas on my dudes, hope they don't drop dead. I should have seen this giant opening into my fort.>>1910188Create more wealth, like adamantine weapons. I am at 9909488 created wealth.

Why does butchering my chickens produce no meat????Do they need to age more or some shit???
>>1910594Nvm
>>1910596>>1910594Iirc, the animal size does affect the amount of meat you get from a carcass. Some animals can be too small to yield anything, and age is a factor in animal size
>>1910594>>1910670Y'all niggas need to take the pig pillOr actually wild boars in my case +ivory -milk
Local dwarf has 2% of the Fortress GDP strapped to his body
I discovered too late greaves and chain leggings are mutually exclusive and cannot be layered, so as part of the NO MORE BROKEN KNEES plan it's leather trousers + greaves for all
What if I give my veterans squad dyed silk robes and silk hoods for a sort of Dark Angles vibe, will they wear them over the armor and will their sprite reflect that?
>>1910741Seems like a noCan't wear hoods over helmets and the robe is worn under the armor and doesn't show on the sprite
Newfag here. I don't get farming, specifically seeds.>read wiki>"Anything you do (except kitchen) produces seeds, including making drinks.">make drinks, focus on fishing to produce food>run out of seedsWhat gives?
>>1910760>>run out of seedsHave 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)
>>1910762I'm looking at the empty farms directly and it says>no seeds
I have 300 confirmed elf kills
>>1910760I run out of plump helmet spawn all the goddamn time, the solution is to go gather plump helmets from the cavern every once in a whileMaybe I should have a look at the cooking menu some day huhEverything else I grow including surface crops never runs out of seeds
>>1910763One possibility is that your seeds got eaten by vermin. Im not 100% sure if they can eat seeds, but the can eat food and drink, especialy if left outside of barrels.
okay i'm having a terrible time trying to understand thiswhich quern bill do i use for things that aren't 'turn all our fucking crops into paper' because both of them seem to do that and i've got like a hundred pig tail slurry sitting on the floor in the quern
>>1910770I just buy parchment from caravans and then never use it because it's impossible to sell copied scrollsAnd scholars never sit down to write anything anyway
>>1910770Mill plants for sugar, dye, or flour, depending on the plant.Mill seeds/nuts to paste for paste which is used to make oil at a screw press.Mash plant into slurry for slurry which is used to make paper at a screw press.
>>1910770Use stockpile configurations and chaining orders to filter the plants that you want to mill.
>>1910763How 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.
>>1910779frankly 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 worktheir main use is just to have some dwarven wine just in case someone likes it as a food source they're not all that great
>>1910800>their main use is just to have some just in case someone likes it as a food source they're not all that greatWelcome to Dwarf Fortress.
>>1910814I have local dwarves bringing free food in the form of horse mounts, just needs a little legwork and it's meat for days
Poor babies have some steel armor but I have adamantine
Toady needs to give invaders actual leaders with high skills and good gear, some named weapons, stuff like thatThey're never even historical figures, just get generated on the spot with no history, no groups, no relations
Human bros aren't doing so hot in world gen vs the endless green tide, so I'm gifting them steel weapons purely as roleplayDoes this actually have any effect on anything? I'm guessing it's not that advanced
>>1910824It should ramp up.>early game invaded by literal who>eventually, around the time you get your own nobles, enemy historical nobles start attacking you

>>1909746>Still I'm getting migrants and caravans like nothing had happened.Feature removed. Not bugged out, removed. 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.
>>1909746>>1910860You can have the same Dorf Bunker experience by playing an incredibly hostile biome and having all the merchants become fog zombiesSince no profit reported to the mountainhome, no migrants

>>1910895>>1910927Dwarf fortress is an easy game for casuals since the steam releaseWho knew lack of a proper human usable interface was the only thing causing its alleged difficulty
>>1910966Always has been, funny that it took a slightly less pretty UI and ASCII-esque graphics to filter mouth-breathing retards
>>1910967When I was playing the lazy newb pack I had the most enormous difficulty setting up irrigation for the farms... which I didn't even need since you can grow shit on sand Also the idle dwarf counter made me deeply upset, I'm glad it's gone since down time is actually good for the lazy fucks who won't replenish their own needs
>>1910966>Dwarf fortress is an easy game for casuals since the steam release>Each combat update has made the game even more iopsided. Either you curbstomp several hundreds of scrubs or meet a single enemy that depopulates the entire fort. Used to be a time when a maxxed legendary anything could murder just about everything with anything on hand. Today if you don't have a proper kit you are just fucked.
Don't even get me started on danger rooms.
So first time im encountering one of these cunts , can i turn it into nuggies??
>>1911223Sometimes 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.
why the fuck did these assholes start killing eachother mid spar ?!
How will magic fuck up the combat?
>>1911265We 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 wordsThe 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.
>>1911265completely broken undoubtedly
>>1911279Blisters 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.
>>1911284Rot 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.
>>1911223You can definitely butcher them if they're made out of flesh and boneI have a few items made from forgotten beast bone
>>1911221I don't know what you mean, I've had legendary fighters charge 20 skilled goblins alone and die from passing out from over exertionI've also had legendary fighters instakill forgotten beasts by chopping their heads off round 1Skill still decides everything in combat, armor is just there to make sure they survive to become legendary
This is Roderdumat, Mountainhome of "The Chambers of Toning"After 50 years I'm retiring the fort400 tombs I've filledThousands of goblins have I slainAlmost 100 adamantine have I mined (and locked the underworld nerds in their cuck cage, although a couple have escaped)I don't even know how many artifacts the dorfs have createdI do know so many FBs fell they stopped coming altogether And one plains titan tooAnd a Roc came doing nothing noteworthy other than dyingIt was a good fort as a peaceful embark exercise in fortressbuilding after one crazy embark (evil glacier) The stories of Roderdumat will live on in the next fortress
>>1911645
Best story from the fort was Dwarven King Necromancer panic resurrecting a Cyclops which then immediately killed him, who I then locked in the mine complex who then proceeded to solo 2 forgotten beasts to death, only to fall to a lucky goblinAnd another forgotten beast released from the same mine to fight goblins setting the entire map on fire (including some kangaroos)
>>1911640Armor has been less important since the ragdolling update anyway.I'd still say better weapons are important since they allow fighters to finish off their enemies with fewer strikes and less exhaustion.
>>1911650Enter biting/kicking/striking with the pommel of an adamantine axe
>>1911640>I don't know what you mean,because you haven't played the game before .47 (over 10 years ago)
>>1911676I played 0.42 I think, didn't get to military stage though
>>191167610 years ago was 0.40 when active world gen and multi tile trees got introduced
>>1910895Steam release has destroyed the illusion that dwarf fortress is a hard game. It was visually off-putting and mechanically unaccesable for most people, but now that these things are fixed it has become obvious how simple (but broken) the game portion of the simulation actually is. All the "omg DF is so hard you need 169 IQ" talk has been exposed as fans wanking each other to larp as a gamer elite.
>>1911807more like, exposed as the gatekeeping it was/the justification filtered retards used.
>>1911807I dunno man a lot of people still get filtered hard by it.

>>1911807The idea of DF being hard was dispelled by the mid 2010s. After that, it became very much a roleplaying game.Well, aslong as you didn't get into dfhack mods that enabled digger sieges. Then it gets truly fun

Using a network of tunnels so that you and merchants can travel in and out while avoiding as much of surface as possible and learn to love the caverns. You will probably have to farm goblinite from the cave dwellers if you dont have weapon grade metals in your fort. Start a war animal breeding program to use them as a cannon fodder while assaulting places, since iirc they tend to overperform in the abstracted combat rolls compared to how they fare in the live combatLava.That is all I can think

>>1917676>pocket world>max megabeasts>embark on the edge of a mountain rangeThere's a good chance of some fun to be had. See if you have time to wall yourself in.
I'm really glad I decided to look at my world in legends viewer before playing it this time. There are all sorts of story hooks here, like The Brutal War and The Fall of Masterceilings>world's sole dwarven civilization had lived in peace for 100 years, coexisting with neighboring humans and elves to the south and protected from invasion by the goblins to the north by their mountains>suddenly a goblin civilization from the glaciers at the northernmost reaches of the map decides to attack them>their lizard demon master marches south with an army of 700 goblins, 100 slaves of various other races, and an entourage of seventy lesser demons>bypasses the humans they usually fight>sack the unremarkable deep site of Masterceilings in the heart of dwarven territory (maybe the marched through the caverns?)>a combined army of elves, dwarves, humans, and elven war animals nearly 2000(!) strong is mustered for a counterattack>they kill almost all the enemies, but can't overcome the lizard demon>run for their lives with only ~400 still standing>lizard demon has been stuck in Masterceilings for the last eighty years with one human and one dwarf for company>nobody has dared to challenge him again despite him corrupting the densely populated lands around MasterceilingI almost never do Adventure Mode but I'm going to slay the fuck out of this demon. Does anyone know if killing it will revert the area flipping to Evil biomes, or is the land there tainted forever?
>>1917675DF noob here. How do you go about tweaking and modding? Do you mean tileset and init tweaks, or something more substantial?
>>1917936He is probably referring to RAW edits
>>1917842I sincerely dont know but yesterday i hacked the head of a necromancer and nothing really happend... just took his crown and burned the bodyAnd also please keep us updated i want to read the fight
>>1917842you can deal with the demon in fortress mode by "demand surrender and occupy"
anons, how many wheelbarrows should i assign to my main stockpile?.. i have the default 1, and the wiki doesnt seem to suggest anything in that regard
>>1918422wheelbarrows are only used for hauling stones and ores
>>1917842>a combined army of elves, dwarves, humans, and elven war animalsFake, different civs do not fight together, there is no coding for this to happen.>>1918422wheelbarrows are buggy and a waste of time, they limit the number of people that can work at hauling to that stockpile and will often just end up in 7/7 water because dwarfs seem obsessed with throwing wheelbarrows into wells for some reason.
>>1918424care to explain anon?i do have stones on that stockpile, will it be beneficial to have extra wheelbarrows?
>>1918427hah, i seeso should i keep one, or should i get rid of the one i have?
>>1918432sell it, the speed you would get from using wheelbarrows is negligible unless your hauling especificaly heavy ores for 50+ z levels, wheelbarrows are not worth the headache
>>1918436got it!thanks anon
>>1918436wheelbarrows are awesome I wish you could assign them to smelters to speed up steel production
>>1918430move the stone stockpile to your stoneworker/stonecrafter workshop and move your metal ores to your smelter dumbass
>>1918436Dwarf carrying Wheelbarrow/baby/etc gets thirsty/dirty>Goes to well to drink/clean>Drops whellbarrow/baby/etc in the well so he can pickup the bucketSuch a simple thing to fix, but noooo, lets work on the idiotic broken justice system instead.
>>1918454>dwarf uses stepladder to pick fruit from a tree>another dwarf sees a stepladder not in the designated stepladder stockpile>takes it away>dwarf 1 is now stuck in a tree foreverehehehehehe
>>1918458OOOOH THATS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY FORT! i see...I just keep seeing my "dwarfs" up trees and getting stuck at random, that must be it
>>1918460click on your gather fruit zone and only tick pick fallen fruitnever deal with dwarven retardation again unless it's drowning season
>>1918449is it good like that, or should i make workshop-stockpiles bigger?
>>1918489dedicate an entire floor to workshops with huge stockpile space in the middle
>>1918489That is fine. You can make a even better use of space by placing your workshop especific stockpiles in a floor above and/or bellow
anons, what equipment do i need for my training barracks?ive read the wiki, but it doesnt really say anything about the specific equipment or how many pieces do i need to placeas wiki suggested, i have made sleeping barracks with beds and chests, and assigned my squad to sleep and keep their personal gear in that roomon the right side, im planning to build the training barracks
>>1919152You technically don't need anything at allIf you make them sleep there they'll be grumpyArmor racks do get used sometimes, but set the routine to "Ready" and they will always wear their uniformWeapon racks never get usedNeither do coffers outside taverns/hospitals/libraries
>>1919160hmm, interestingso just a few armor racks "for the flavor" and thats it?also, should i just let them sleep in the individual bedroom of their choice, like any other dwarf?
>>1919191>also, should i just let them sleep in the individual bedroom of their choice, like any other dwarf?you can just make individual bedrooms in the same spot as the barracks and assign the squad members manuallyit's not really a huge deal if they sleep in the barracks but you don't want UNBELIEVABLY AGILE INCREDIBLY STRONG dorfs to be stressed out for obvious reasons
>>1919193got it! thank you anon>STRONG dorfs to be stressed out i havent played long enough to see all the crazy stuff ( besides a few episodes )
>>1919209Let's just say legendary axedwarves throw legendary tantrums
well that was unexpecteddefeated some sort of a big lizard - a "warelizard"as it turns out, my commander got infected and without a warning transformed into a lizard himselfall that in the middle of my fortress, so lots of dwarfs got involved in fighting it and perished as a resultwhat was i even supposed to do here?
>>1919300manually check for bites and quarantine
>>1919301hmm, i suppose i could check for bites, but how do i "quarantine" a dwarf? should i build a dungeon and arrest him somehow?
>>1919302press Shift + U
>>1917937ah right :o
I really hate how galena, tetrahedrite, and cassiterite ores all look exactly the fucking same
>>1919391And native platinum, and magnetite
>>1919392Yeah, fucking sphalerite has its own texture but not any of these.Also does anyone know what happens if I fuck around with the source of a stream? I want to turn it into a circular lake and build an island in the middle. But I'll likely have to use pumps to remove the water first. Will it come back, or will this kill the stream?
>>1919432It should spawn water infinitely like the magma sea spawns magma but I've never tried it
>>1919432Are you talking about the a normal river/brook or that actual headspring(pic related)? Because in the later there is possibility that the special river source tiles that generates water gets destroyed( if they can be destroyed in the first place) and you might have to watch out for them. Meanwhile, the normal rivers have source tiles at the edge of the upstream, and I dont think you can build anything at the edge of the map outside of maybe using magma create obsidian.
my one and only artifact is gone!there was no invasion or enemies inside the base! wtf?!one of my own dwarfs stole it? is there any chance of finding it?!
this is rediculouslost over 40 dwarfs by now...there is no end in sight with this "warelizard" shiti can just as well end it at this point
Hello! Any anon here knows hot to start modding the game?I wanted to add some creatures to the game and I have no clue were to start>I'm gonna namefag for the sake of being organized
>>1919656Im not sure if dorfs can directly steal it and leave, but they can cospire with thiefs and other visiting scoundrels trying to steal your shitAlternatively someone just straight up sneaked and yonked it>>1919723 Werebest absolutely require you to enact 1984 your fort least this shit happens. They dont actualy pose much of a threat alone and when you know where they are coming from and you can quarantine them. But have someone turn into one in the middle of a full tavern is going to be utter chaos if it doesnt get one-punch-killed by some random drunk dorf granny. Everyone who got wounded has to be put behind a locked doors, walls even, until enough time pass without them turning>>1919755Modding DF is 99% going into game RAWs which are .txt in Your_DF_folder/data/vanilla and changing and adding new stuff there. You literaly write out what out want through tags and parameters since it is all .txt.Modifying one existing creature can be pretty simpe. But for making new creatures you will have to understand all the tags and parameters that form the structures of a creatures in the RAWThe wiki should have DF tags documented, but I dont know how extensive and helpful as guide to DF modding it actualy is (it is probably better than nothing)https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Modding
>>1919772Thanks i will take a look there!
>>1919723ha ha
>>1919723Hey on the bright side your entire fortress can be werelizards nowThey don't have to eatThey don't have to drinkThey regrow severed limbsLiterally ubermenschen except if a different species of werebeats shows up then it's murder
>>1919772>Everyone who got wounded has to be put behind a locked doorsi need to figure out a way to do it - dont have a jail yetbut its a lesson learnedthe hardest way possibleended up with 4 dwarfs and about 7 useless babies, so i have kept a single dwarf who was most likely not involved in combat, and expelled the other threeits a "soft restart" of sortsseveral new dwarfs migrated in, but they are not very happy - dead limbs and rotting corpses all over the floorsmy number one priority at this point is producing enough caskets, at least to get rid of three ghoststhe newcomers seem to be very upset by themthe only good thing is that i have saved lots of food and alcohol, hopefully the supplies will last until the place is clean again>>1919820>Literally ubermenschenis it really possible to keep playing while everyone is a werelizard?.. will they live in peace if only one is in a lizard form?will new babies be automatically infected with "lizard genes"?
>>1919856>is it really possible to keep playing while everyone is a werelizard?.. will they live in peace if only one is in a lizard form?Yes, if everyone in your fortress is a werelizard there's no downsides
also, these two babies playing in the massgrave will not grow up right
>>1919857haha, i will give it a shot if, god forbid, i end up in this situation again
>>1919858so my fort is not the only one with that going onit just seems kids in dwarf fortress are all amateur ossuarians. i have had several kids disappear because they got under the refuse atom smasher when it's getting pulled.
>>1920167>>1919858Kids in DF are coded to go play where their last hauling job ended, so go to the works tab and select "children dont do chores", or just deselect corpses from their hauling jobs, in general its a good idea to turn it off completely, so you dont have kids getting into the way of enemies since they will play outside after collecting stuff on the surface, or end up drowned in wells after hauling buckets. Just turn it off, save yourself the headache
>>1919856>i need to figure out a way to do it - dont have a jail yetThere is a pretty easy one: Its called burrows.A burrow is a zone that you can paint on map where assigned dwarfs are forbiden to pathfind outside of it. You should be able to figure out what to do next.
>>1920381overlapping burrows are a bit broken now i think,i wanted a dwarf marriage program but getting them into burrows without teleport is surprisingly hard.
>>1919433>>1919435Yeah, I meant the headspring.
anons, how do i move a scrolls or a book to my library?i have this library running, and i get scholars and other folks visiting, who a hungry for knowledgethe problem is, my bookcase and chests are emptydo i need to designate a stockpile on top of my bookcases?
>>1920749they haul books and scrolls to a library automatically
>>1920381Burrows don't work. The dwarves will happily ignore activated burrows and still walk all over the place.
>>1921117Turn off all their labors
>mfw the militia commander gets killed by a half-dead draltha because he didn't pick up his axe before fighting itHis replacement almost did the same thing with like 30 crundles, but she went into a martial trance and beat them all to death (and she had armor).
I'm this >>1917679I've been looking for some tile set to use and most of them seems to stop updating at version 47.xx, any idea why? And should I play on 47.xx?
>>1921142go and try itsee for yourself
>>192114247.xx was the last pre-Steam version.
>>192114247.xx is the previous release before a massive overhaul in the graphic engine of DF which came with the premium steam graphics pack and 50.xx.50.xx broke most if not all the comunity custom tile sets because of all the changes increase in complexity and very few people have been interested in updating their stuff for 50.xx. And the premium graphic set on steam killed the will of community to keep working on new ones and updating old ones because of its relatively high production and size (old graphics set could have ~200 tiles while premium has +3000).Playing on 47.xx to try the game is fine since there is not much difference in content between it and the new version. The biggest things you will be missing will be some pretty significant performace improvements.I also recommend you to look for a launcher called Lazy Newb Pack which lets you easily launch DF and dowload and install tilesets and other DF applications.
>>1917679i love this kind of games, so i was trying to get into DF many years before the steam version got released - but even with "graphics mods" it just didnt cut it for mesteam version opened that door for me! the initial release on steam was rather buggy imo, but now its very playable ( im still having issues with some of the interface solutions, but you can get used to it )also, why its still not possible to delete "locations"? is there a file i can edit manually? my location list is cluttered with unused locations and those that i have created by mistake - how hard can it be to add a remove/delete button?
>>1921481Can't you delete them through the zones screen?
>>1921502no, unfortunately you cantits a known issue it seems - wasted good time on searching for a solutionbut i will happily be wrongi dont know anything about modding DF, but i guess i will have to go through the files manually and see if i can figure it outi dont have an ocd or some such, but its still annoying as fuck
>>1921509Oh you mean it clutters up that screen with locations that no longer exist? Yeah it's fuckedInstall DFHack if you haven't already, it doesn't fix this and it doesn't integrate with the steam UI but it will save you headaches 100 hours from now
i cant distinguish male from female with this new portrait system, is there any addon to make it more distinguishable or to add more feminine traits to female dwarfs?
>>1921536I remember in first months of when DF launched on steam there was one mod on worshop that did a overhaul of creatures graphics to make them more varied and distinguishable. It may or may not do what you want.
>>1921536females have no beardsmales all have beards
anons, who the hell is this guy?!i was about to send my squad to attack it, but it seems to be a "visitor"my heart bumped a little when ive seen the green snake-like body casually moving outside my fortress - had a werelizard infestation not long time ago
>>1910824Never gonna happen considering his retarded simulationist goal.
>>1921632arrest him for espionage then dump him in the well, they're all legendary swimmers
>>1921642ahahah, its a good one anon!i wish i knew how to do that, im yet to build my first jail
>>1917675>>still no keyboard supportWorst part of the new version by far. I wanna play some of the COOL OVERHAULS that have come out, but I can't because building a fort using the mouse when placing anything closes the entire 3-layer menu makes me want to fucking blow my brains out in front of Toady.This is the only game I can think of that became unplayable to older players because of "accessibility". I mean for fucks sake, even the macro feature is fucked.
>>1917842killing the demon will stop it indeed, since a site must have one (or a necromancer) to spread evil, the area should revert back but I'm not sure if it happens after generation is complete or if you'll even see any changes given the timescale>>1921632a gang leader I imagine, sapient cavepeoples form criminal organizations that operate from the sewers in human townshe's probably gonna steal your shit

Is there a way for an adventurer to build a family in one of my forts? I am trying to create some kind of lineage from a hero. I think it would be cool to do some huge adventure and then settle down in a fort and then have some children in my fort and then once they have grown enough maybe try to make one of them an adventurer reclaiming the original heros sword or something.If that isn't possible is it at least possible to take a fort-dwarf with children and control him as an adventurer? I'd much rather be able to do the first idea if it's possible.
>>1921862yes, you can either retire them after you fix your character's orientation via dfhack, as all adventurers are automatically asexual.orYou can impregnate an npc via df hack and force their birth to a , or a . by setting the timer to 1, then retire your adventurer so the child properly hooks into the histfig of the mother, thereby allowing them to start a family line.
>>1921862>>1921867and yes, you can bodyswap to control another npc(this enables the flag that allows you to control them, meaning you can then bodyswap back, die in the wilderness, and you could then take over the NPC normally from the menu.), though you can also just edit their flags and you'll be able to play as them anyways.
>>1913814Why shouldn't I kill these annoying FUCKD?
>>1921872It shall make your fort, IMMORTAL
I picked this up for the steam sale, never played it before. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but this is really fun. I can tell I'm gonna be playing this for a while
It's been half a year since I came to /vst/ and now I'm seeing generals. What happened?And can somebody give me a rundown on the progress since DF hit Steam?
>>1921985Generals are allowed on the /v*/ boards now, so generals that couldn't survive on /vg/ anymore moved.
>>1921986Seems like a good move. I didn't see an announcement or maybe I just missed it.I guess /sg/ is doomed for now.
>>1921990There was no announcement. The stickies on each board were changed without fanfare.
>>1921985>It's been half a year since I came to /vst/ and now I'm seeing generals. What happened?Gachashit killed /vg/. A bunch of generals had to either merge to survive or get pushed out of the board by the torrent of gacha generals. Instead of making a containiment for for all the crap (because Hiro gets paid to allow gacha to be shillled 24/7), the mods removed the line that said no generals from the stickies on the other videogame boards.>And can somebody give me a rundown on the progress since DF hit Steam?Contentwise most of what was added to DF, from the steam release up to now with the adventure mode beta nearing its end, has been either minor or mostly a remix of things that were already in the game, like the new magical artifacts that allow adventurers to cast interactions, aka magic, that seems to be basicaly magic powers that only intelligent undead could use in previous version for now.The biggest and most significant changes to DF so far and to come in the near future are all under the hood stuff such as performace improvements, maintenance and upgrades to DF pre-historic code, multithreading, and next year we will be getting the Lua thing which will offload a bunch of DF code into Lua so that you can actually mod DF code and shit, increasing the game's moddability, and will be especially usefull for the upcomming stuff related to the formerly Magic and Myth update.
>>1921998>the mods removed the line that said no generals from the stickies on the other videogame boards.not like the /v/ermin boards weren't 70% generals alreadyOnly noticeable change was /gsg/ getting exiled to /vst/ by mod hand, allegedly because they started raiding other generals. wouldn't be the first time something got changed to secretly whisker a group away from another board.
