Have you thought about turning them into vampries and walling them in 1x1 rooms? I once reached 500 pop with 100 fps that way.

DF Gameplay Questions / Evil rain and [WEATHER:NO]
« on: October 27, 2019, 05:57:13 am »
Hi, I set [WEATHER:NO] in d_init, but i still get evil rains in my game.
This bothers me a lot because of the framerate, and dfhack doesnt seem up to date, so i cant just clean the contaminants by command.

What can I do?

Life Advice / Buying glasses
« on: March 09, 2019, 04:13:11 am »
Hi, I need glasses and I just discovered they are ridiculously expensive. I am not exactly broke ... but I just dont understand why I should pay 400 EUR for some pieces of glass joined together by some plastic or metal or whatever that probably cost about 3 EUR in raw materials. Google search suggested this is a result of a world wide monopoly and possibly lizard people or something.

Do any of you know a way to get glasses more cheaply? Especially since i am 100% sure I am gonna lose them or break them within 6 months...

I get goblin harassment within the second year about 70% of the time. Usually there's a big invasion by year 3 to 5. It really depends on your map, where you embark (how close to them), how well you expand, and what your actions are. If you're not getting invasions, you can always start a war with the goblins to get some coming your way.
Ok thats promising. Do you go out of your way to embark close to goblin civs? Do you check the goblin populations before embarking?

Ok that didnt quite work right, so lets be a bit more specific.
When you start a new world, is there a greater than 50% chance of getting a goblin siege or ambush within first 3 years?

Feel free to expand on it, but that is the crux of what i want to know and i am not much interested in evil zones, or titans, or savagery or whatever.

I feel like starting a new game, but I dont wanna waste a few hours only to find out nothing interesting is happenning.
Also, are kobolds still nonexistent?

How do you give more civs to kobolds than to other races?

All those people saying population 80, I am pretty sure I got a siege at the population of 60 in this version and without modifying entity_default.

Also, dont they send ambushes anymore? Or snatchers?
And you didn't raid them, right? Raiding nullifies the pop trigger protection (as it should: no hitting other kids and then run and hide behind mommy's back!).
Goblins do not ambush in vanilla. They do send snatchers occasionally, though (but I think I've mostly found them together with sieges).

No, I havent raided anyone yet, thats still a new mechanic to me.
Lack of ambushes makes me sad. Speaking about that, has anyone actually seen a kobold in the last few years?

Check the civ screen. Are the gobs at war with you? If not (happens sometimes) You can change this by raiding them. That aside: They won't raid you unless your pop is at least 80 or unless you produce a metric ton of wealth. As a kindness to the player. (This takes less long than you would think. But good luck surviving a siege before that.)
I dont even see them in the civ screen. Prior to embark they had the usual ----. I guess my civ made peace with them after embark.

- I am in my fifth year
- when generating the world I checked population it was 7k dwarves, 12k goblins (small world)
- the goblins have settlements less than a days travel from me.
- i dont even have contact with them yet, they havent sent a single snatcher, let alone a siege
- also no forgotten beasts
- invaders is set to YES

Under what circumstances will they actually attack me? I dont want to start a new game and get bored to death again. What should I look for when generating a new world?

Hi, can someone help me with tiletypes? I have successfully changed some tiles to undiscovered and to subterranean, but I cant seem to make a working aquifer.
I used "paint aquifer 1", then range 10:10:1, then enter. The soil shows as damp now. But when I dig into it, it doesnt produce any water.

Let's say I don't remember a password to some site, but my browser(FF) does and fills it automatically.
Copying from the password field does not work.
How can I extract the password from the files stored by the browser? There has to be a way, right?
