Why is this hallway flooding? Is it because of the ceiling? There's nothing above it, as in unmined aquifer tiles.

I WISH ASCII HAD LABELS INSTEAD OF ASCII SYMBOLS IN THE UI AIIIE

>>2266742
trvke

>>2266694
Yes. You need to smooth the floor to remove aquifer status from ceilings.

Well, the civ I started playing as domesticated giant rattlesnakes in worldgen. Looks like that's the focus for this fort.

got used to the ascii ui
my square tileset works fine (taffers)
its so freeing to be ascii
i dont get autistic abt my forts looks bc its abstracted
wood bothers the fuck out of me in graphics mode especially all the colors

do mods only work with the steam version of DF? i thought it was just the tileset+OST but i crash when trying to generate a world while using the masterfork mod off github

>>2267014
does it give a crash error?

>>2267027
it has these in the errorlog with a bunch of other RCP bodypart errors


Impoverished Word Selector
Cannot generate random creatures -- missing body RCP_3_EYELIDS
Cannot generate random creatures -- missing body RCP_2_EYELIDS

i thought you just drop into the mod folder and enable with the right loadorder but i'm probably fucking something up, will buy when sales start anyway since theres a bunch of workshop only mods

I tried the spellcraft mod. That shit broken as.
It floods the world with new civs I thought would be less distracting, I can't find the workshops to place down, and the innate magic is descriptionless. "The stone crafter casts magic" great, that tells me nothing!

>>2267040
It depends what mods.
It looks like you're using a mod that changes or expands words and the game is trying to generate creatures in a sphere that doesn't have defined body profiles.

Toady's magic implementation is going to be shit, isn't it?

>>2267406
I hope it's limited to line of sight ranged attacks and buffs but it's probably going to be across map, through walls bullshit that goes unnoticed for 10 minutes.

Honest question as someone who has only very briefly played the game. Isn't this game just a colony sim but with le epic reddit bait in the form of very detailed writing which you probably dont even care about after some hours of playtime?
And can anyone here compare it to Songs of Syx? I've wanted to try a colony sim and these 2 seem the most interesting, rimworld is a bit too small in scale

>>2267406
idk, necromancers magic is kind of cool the way it is now
but I'm scared thinking about what hes gonna do to counter the sieges...

>>2267473
>I'm scared thinking about what hes gonna do to counter the sieges...
How so? It's not like he's going to introduce explosions that can level terrain and buildings any time soon or ever for that matter.Tho it would be pretty cool ngl

>>2267486
no but teleporting mobs, force stopping arrows
or imagine making it rain elf blood and fucking up everybody giving your dorfs syndromes

I am genuinely scared

>new thread when the other could still go for another 5 days
>didnt even bother linking to it in the last thread
>using an op picture that comes from another /vst/ dwarf related game

...

>>2267502
Eh...

Most of this stuff seems more like a mild annoyance than something you should seriously be worried about.
If we're talking about something that really is going to scare (and possibly anger) people is that this magic is going to constantly kill your FPS (i.e. mass spontanious fires)

>>2267576
> kill your FPS
I started using lava moats and they're very effective against sieges, and yes most of the time shit gets lit and the smoke and fire burns away 3/4 of the map and the FPS drops to 3
also they freak out with pathfinding

>>2267461
>the core draw of the game isn't something you care about
Anon the whole fun of dwarf fortress is the sort of quasi-archaeology you do as you play, discovering stories in the wider world. If you don't care about the detail and simulation, you're purposely ignoring a big part of the game for no reason and I feel bad for you.

>>2267461
It's just an in depth world building simulator that also lets you play as a colony in the world it built
Everything happens according to the world building and nothing is 'random'
Nothing could happen for 78 hrs of playing or something could happen thats really funny and cool
The actual gameplay loop is not hard at all (get food, build workshops), but the newest Siege Update made invasions harder and more of a rimworldy tower defense thing.

Songs of Syx is a city builder and total war strategy game
Dwarf fortress is an autistic in depth guidable antfarm

What sorts of magic would be interesting for fort mode?
I was thinking less overt magic like fireballs and more things like runic power. Place a rune on your floors and it protects against incoming arrows, strike runes onto equipment to give it an effect, or try to bind evil/good creatures with a runic circle. Things like that.

>>2267644
Magic arrows is an easy one
>arrow that explodes
>arrow that freezes
etc etc

>>2267406
I feel like it is going to be more something that will live or die in the hands of modders.
Support for magic and modding of magic systems is part of why we got the Lua update, since Toady already know the the entire potential of the system will be on the hands of modders.

>>2267673
Is this not already possible? How indepth is lua modding

>>2267644
something to fucking counter necromancers
wish some artifacts could work as "holy relics" and repel undead shanenigans

>>2267697
Maybe certain gods decide they hate the undead and grant powers to devotees kinda similar to how necromancers are granted powers just in reverse. Things like debuffing undead, revealing vampires, etc.
Would make temples a little more interesting and maybe encourage you to build a quality temple and learn which gods might grant useful powers, or attract paladins and some such to the fort if you have a really nice temple.

>>2267735
yeah, something that actually creates even more worldbuilding and stuff

Would be cool if magic was tied to gods and religion similar to DCSS' piety system. More dorfs praying, more value in the temple, more doing of what that specific god wants = more spellcasting. Similarly forsaking gods leads to negative effects. Probably implausible until 2030 at best but it's interesting to think about.

For the unknowledgeable, the Steam version of DF REQUIRES a new gen every significant* RAW change due to mods not being baked into the save anymore,
*For an idea of what constitutes a significant RAW change, see https://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=29157.0

Graphics IDs are baked into each save, and require a world regen to see changes.

The path to the RAWs differs based on pre or post steam versions
(if 47.05- then raw\objects)
(if 50.01+ then data\vanilla)

The following are examples of simple tweaks you can do yourself with minimal effort

Yes. The closest thing to real gameplay is using mechanisms to make cool shit like hydraulic engineering.

It's the challenge aspect of it. Same reason why I designate one or two of my initial wave of migrants to making contact with the whole map ASAP. I've gotten necromancer sieges within the first 8 months this way (hence why I've started doing the 7 miner start since the pickaxes use mining skill as their weapon skill).

If there was some way to gen a terrifying biome without assfucking rain, I'd even make my entire fort outside.

Really? is the ceilling water drip tied to the floor, not the z level above?
All this time, everytime I had to go through a aquifer area I have been digging up and walling up the z level above before I start to actually dig the room/passage on the level bellow.

Text mode or graphics mode? I always liked Bauxite/Kaolinite/Hematite (Dark Red), Olivine/Serpentine/Malachite (Green) and Kimberlite (Dark Blue) as decorative stone options, with Pitchblende/Rutile (Purple) saved for topical decorations in fancy locations. Rose Gold and Pitchblende decorating the quarters of minor nobility, bookkeeper's office and the like hit just right.

even though it's technically a waste of resources and dorfpower I always turn all of my gold, silver and copper into rose gold and black bronze because the colors are more unique

What is the #1 quality of life feature you wish would be added to DF immediately?

Me? I really wish dwarves would automatically take steps to manage their needs without direct intervention/micro-managing being required.

For example, if i've dug out or built an interior for my fort, and it's raining outside, I wish dorfs would just automatically go inside to stay dry. As it is, they'll just stand around the wagon until you make a meeting area or task or something directing them. Same with animals which will sit in an indoors meeting area until they starve, simply because you haven't designated a pasture for them, even though they have a clear path to grass to graze on.

It would do a lot to make the world, and in particular the creatures in the world, feel more alive and dynamic if they actually reacted to stimuli more adequately (or at all, in some cases)

More than that though, I want them to do actively take actions specifically for the entire "needs" section. To stop it from being annoying, just have them only do it during their downtime/in between tasks. Instead of just permanently idling in the tavern or meeting areas/temples/libraries, why not have them do things of their own volition. If my dwarf is unhappy due to wanting to lead an exciting life, or not being able to wander, have that dwarf actually take risks like rock-climbing or exploring the caverns or wandering outside the fort or even hunting/fishing/etc in his free time to find that excitement he craves. Or if they are upset about not doing anything creative/practice a craft, have them use workshops to make personal trinkets/artwork/etc whenever its free for use. Or carve their own drawings in the walls of their room. You could even make it a designation option on workshops whether or not dwarves are allowed to access them for personal use. This could even give something for the justice system to be more relevant. Maybe if their need is high enough, they'll break the rules to use it anyways.

>>2272071
It's possible, but frankly really unlikely. If you somehow knew where a warband was leaving from and where it was going, you could find them. Same thing with rampaging beasts like dragons and such.

>>2272601
I really think this is the single biggest lacking feature in dwarf fortress. This feature would singlehandedly lift dwarf fortress into a whole new level of quality as far as a game and story-generating simulator. In its current form, the creatures are way too robotic and lifeless to feel fully immersed or invested in their world. There is a bit of fun in how they're all basically hyper autistic, and that is amusing. But overall just think of the huge amounts of dynamic and unscripted sorts of interactions and stories would arise from simply making dwarves and other creatures have just the slightest bit of volition in their behaviors. A dwarf finding something new in the caverns because he liked exploring in his free time. One dwarf makes a personal trinket and then another one steals it due to their need to be extravagant and to "acquire something" and it causes a scandal. A soapmaker with pretty decent fighting skills simply because he values practicing martial arts and he didn't have anything to do in the fort so he spent lots of his free time training in his room. Etc.

I really wish Toady One would care more about this sort of thing. It's just kind of annoying seeing a dwarf thats been in your fort for a long time have nothing but "He is distracted after...[need not met]" even though all the tools to meet those needs are present, but unless you micro-manage they'll live their entire life never once doing anything to satisfy their own needs. I mean they're called needs, but they dont operate anything like them in the game. It's frustrating. Why even add that into the game if he isn't going to actually expand on it. You've just got these poor creatures with needs and 0 ability to take action to meet them. How cruel.

And ofc i'm sure it's something he plans to do. Eventually. But I wish it were a higher priority is all. I think it's such a glaring flaw and has a high value to difficulty of implementation ratio. I

>>2272601
I wish I could take care of some of the more annoying needs like acquisition, family, prayer, etc, without dwarves having to be completely idle or doing a very specific job. If a dwarf wants some rings so bad, just take one of the dozens I have sitting in a bin.

>>2272118
>>2272607
I haven't played in years but last time i did, armies existed in adv mode but were glitched to basically just perpetually camping in one spot and never actually moving.

>>2272615
Exactly! It seems like this would be such an easy feature for him to implement and would be an absolutely massive improvement. It drives me crazy that years have passed and he still seems to have any plans of addressing it any time soon. Even if he only did the most basic version of "i want item" and "item is sitting in a storage stockpile" -> "I will equip/claim this item". That alone would be such a big improvement.

Idk how Toady decides what to work on next, considering the massive backlog of "planned features" but I would suggest he does a system of looking at the list and assigning to each feature a ratio of how big of an improvement it would be to the game against how difficult/timely it would be to implement. And then just use that to determine the order of implementation. Focus on the low hanging fruits first. I think a huge part of the problem is he doesn't actually play dwarf fortress so what he cares about and what the actual playerbase cares about will always be at odds.

>>2272601
I'd also like to be able to add items to the civilian uniform. For example everybody carries around one of the copper battle axes my weapons might made while training so they aren't using their fists when some angry birds try to peck at them.

>>2272626
+1. fully agreed. It'd be cool to have the ability to give civilians the option of open carry vs maybe some forts would have stricter rules on who can or can't carry weapons. Maybe some dwarves would exist who simply don't care to wield a weapon as part of their every day attire, idk.

It isn't just a superficial thing either, there are legitimate reasons for both decisions. On the one hand having your dwarves arm themselves would make them better able to defend themselves, but it would also make tantrums way more dangerous. So it would be a meaningful gameplay decision, not just a no-brainer.

>>2272636
>but it would also make tantrums way more dangerous

They base it off of meal preferences and proximity.
Your dwarf eating Franklin probably has a preference for pond turtles and didn't see any prepared meals including pond turtles, same with the guy eating plump helmets.
The way to get around this is to have a Kitchen in a corner space of your floor with inputs (meat/fish/cheese/eggs) behind it, and an output of a small stockpile of prepared meals (only needs to be 3 or 4 squares) in front of it. Use this stockpile to feed other stockpiles around your fort and you'll have the problem fixed.

No, fights agains webbers are purely RNG-based, there are no reliable ways to defeat them in a fair engagement. Armor barely helps because webbed dwarves are effectively paralyzed and the webber can simply break their necks.

I'd like to rant about a few things that piss me off in this game.
1. Work details for a ton of important jobs are missing. Cooking, brewing, crafting, metalworking, gem cutting, etc. all need to have custom work details made for them every game
2. There is no way to mass remove furniture. Renovating a big room, a dormitory with lots of beds? You have to click uninstall on each one individually, there isn't even a hotkey you can use
3. Fuck guilds, and fuck temples
That is all

Go into the economy section on the settings and reduce the value of guildhalls and temple complexes. This effectively makes them much easier fulfill. You can make it so low that a dirt 1x1 square counts as a temple or balance it enough where you just need a fully engrave medium room, up to you.

I was joking, bud. In reality nobody managed to build a working mermaid farm and that stuff was nothing more than a forum discussion.
And the change in 0.31 which reduced their bone value was a major overhaul which affected many creatures, not just mermaids.
Regarding the initial question, I don't think anybody can say what actually happens in Tarn's head.Sometimes his decisions don't make much sense.

>What is the #1 quality of life feature you wish would be added to DF immediately?

Scaffolding. There should be scaffolding blocks that you make from wood, quick to build and destroy again. A scaffolding block should allow dorfs to walk and work through it 360 degrees. So If I build a wall of scaffolding blocks it allows my dwarves to build a stone wall in front of them. Or if I build scaffolding over an existing wall and ceiling it allows the dwarfs to smooth and engrave that existing wall. It would also make towers, giant statues and all other kinds of big building projects much easier.

Your choice of GPU is not going to be decided by DF

While you are correct, we live in a world where this kind of thing happens all the time. And more often than not those external things that fix stuff don't even exist. So Dwarf Fortress is lucky in this respect.

This is what I have going into my fort, as this dwarf civ has giant rattlesnakes domesticated. The idea is anything coming in from the surface uses the staircase, and they'll be blocked by the bridge so they'll have to use the narrow walkway over the snake pit. The walkway has spear traps that make them dodge, falling into the pit.
Still gotta install bolt throwers, but if they make it past that they end up in the bear breeding area.

What I did was channel 3 z-levels down to have the water fill up and I assumed it would then just sit in that pool but it seems to just completely flood my base, is this even possible?

You can do it, but it's way safer to do it slowly using a light aquifer
dig diagonally (diagonal flow restes water pressure) and create a little water reservoir, ideally you also want to put a floodgate there too so you have maximum control over it
then go up a couple z layers, and you can place a well on top of it, and it should not overflow
the ultimate cheese is
digging a corridor to the edge of the map, smooth/make fortifications on the last rock tile, and water should flow off the map, making it a lot safer
you can do this with magma too

Had my first siege.
Goblins brought a ram, i brought a fortified tower and 10 trainee crossbow dwarves. They felled their numbers by more than half, the rest i waited till they broke into the tower for surprise master swordsdwarves to kill them all.
Big issue was the crossbow dwarves ran out of their 25 quiver ammo quickly, and refused to pickup more when i pressed update equipment.

Now i'll reconfigure the tower to have 8 directional siege crossbows, because having 1 facing where the goblins didnt go didnt work. The stockpile also didnt pull siege bolts so reloading the siege weapons took way to long. Not sure how to fix that because the bolts are ready to take from the workshops.

I couldn't really find it in the wiki but why do same civilizations have different governments? I assume if you are a part of a civilization you are apart of a "nation" but why does every hold have its own named government? Shouldn't it all be teh same?

>>2283617
civilizations are national governments, "site governments" are municipal

>>2283633
I don't get the point of having that distinction if nobles are a thing, like Barons and such.

>>2283635
Whatever you do, don't learn about the government of the United States if this concept is giving you a headache.

>>2283709
It would have been more useful if you just pasted the wiki link because I can't find the subject.

>>2282277
It doesn’t matter how deep the hole is unless it leads to the border of the map. Think about it. You dig a hole and route a river into it. What happens? Hole gets filled and the rest of the water flows over it.

>>2283735
It's funnier to just imply you're a retard for not understanding basic government structures.

>>2283752
You got more of the misspells than most if it makes you feel better, there were a couple in my posts that you missed and didn't critic. Pay attention to punctuation more.

>>2283755
Just take the L man. There isn’t much to it. The local governments are ”vassals” of the overall government. Just as your fortress starts as a part of a civilization, and then maybe later becomes capital.

>>2284067
I still don't get why they need to be named rather than just listing the council members themselves.

NTA but for Dorfs.

There are Kingdoms, led by a monarch, comprised of Duchies/Counties/Baronies, whose nobles "own" multiple sites.

Which themselves are further divided into Cities/Towns/Hamlets, each led by their own local mayor/expedition leader.

Each site has its own child government a part of but autonomous of its parent civ.

I fucking hate this...

Is there a way to automate door and bed production without having to do it manually? Is there a way to control the amount of beds and doors you have in storage so when I don't end up with 500 doors or beds that I'm not going to reasonable use? I don't like sending my axe dwarves outside cause its spooky, the elves will get mad, and I'm hoping to eventually find a cavern to maybe replace wood.

>>2284217
Use manager orders

>>2284221
Can that also limit the amount of something in your stockpile?

>>2284232
It can't, but it can check how much of something you have before it restarts the next loop of an order.
It's pretty in depth so you can even check for empty barrels/bags of sand, etc.

>>2284298
I think I'm gonna look up a guide cause I set 2 work orders for 5 doors and 10 beds and my carpenter didn't seem to give a fuck until I just manually ask for them. It could be that I haven't given my manager an office yet, even though he did drop off the orders at the workshop.

>>2284375
It shows when your orders become active in the manager menu, they become a brighter green in the steam version.
Your manager does need an office, but for some reason the steam version gives you a year or two free time to set it up before it suddenly stops activating orders without an office.

For me, it's sub 25 pop fortresses

>>2284395
That's little more than an outpost

>>2284395
If you find managing more than 25 dwarves hard use burrows and segregate your society along jobs with around 25 dwarves that are basically free range, I've never tried to put all my military dwarves into a burrow to see it that would work but a large amount of dwarves can just be shut in a dungeon somewhere and be okay as long as they get food and drink from your logistics team.

Game would need some tweaking to religions generation in this case. If you create a world bigger than medium the ammount of gods just goes completely bonkers, a world with 3-4 dwarven civs can have literaly hundreds of gods and this would make any religion-based magic a complete fucking nightmare to manage

>>2284421
>map size effecting number of gods
>3-4 dwarven civs can have literaly hundreds of gods
That isn't how that works

>>2284421
Aren't a lot of those gods "extinct" or "no longer worshiped" gods?

>>2284499
No

>>2284499
No
unless the civs associated with them are dead

>>2266425
Is the game in 1.0 yet?

>>2284505
53.xx

>>2284506
* 100.xx would be something like all the features Toady has in mind being in the game, aka 1.0

>>2284512
I just saw an interview that was done in 2017 and they said (or predicted) it would be another 15 years (it was 15 years from that interview they were working on Dwarf Fort) before they see 1.0.

>>2284516
Closer to 20 now, that ui rework ate a good 5 and is still fucked up in places

>>2284522
I once talked to a person who said that Dwarf fort was a poorly programed program, what's your take. I think that even if it was poorly programmed to be added to and refined by 1 or 2 people for 15 years is in itself remarkable if you ask me.

Is there a reason why some of my hauling jobs aren't getting done? I have a couple of skeletons and other dead animals in my fort that haven't been removed and I'm wondering if I should designate 1 or 2 mandatory haulters.

>>2284540
It is spaghetti code, as was finally confirmed once Putnum got its hands on it to help defuck some long standing issues and to help out.

>>2284578
Just in case, check your standing orders configurations

Labor -> Standing Orders tab -> Hauling

and see if some of the configurations might be the issue.

So what's the deal with necromancers? I saw two walk by once or twice in the early days of my fort only for them to come back with a small army of undead.

Boats fucking when?

>>2284798
>finally embark
>have to do everything with the mouse
This is just as bad as I thought
I have to use work orders just to queue a bunch of crafting or it takes forever with clicking and scrolling

>>2284855
Yeah we've all been through this already. It sucks to get used to but once you do it's fine, and in some ways better.
Saying that I would have liked to keep the game all keyboard playable as an option. Maybe we'll get it back after toady figures out boats

>>2284867
It's constantly crashing due to out of memory on Linux anyway, looks like I'm going to have to dig up my old install if I want to play DF

>>2284855
Yeah it fucking blows
Everyone has commented on it and Toady even said he'll try to bring them back™
So we probably never will

>it would be another 15 years
It took them 11 years to reach 0.53 from 0.40. With such speed we have to wait at least 40 years more.

>>2266425
If I tell the elves that I will cut the trees regardless of their request, do they attack me or stop sending caravans if I clean cut? Or will they show up next year and demand the deal back in order to maintain peace? I heard I can safely do that once every 2 years or something?

>>2285292
I played the game in the early 2000s and some on the 2010s and I just came back to it recently. When I played it would just deteriorate relations over time until they attacked you. You could always ignore them until you have enough stone crafts to then trade for wood, you could also demand wood from the mountainhomes, you could also get wood from the human traders that come by.

So uh, how do I build an upstair with this modern UI? I don't want my caverns leaking.

I had a volcano underneath a lake
I was very disappointed
World gen should really require mountains on the volcano's tile, this happens too often, volcanoes should have built up a hill of random slag at least
