DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Should Size matter more?
« on: January 16, 2023, 02:45:02 pm »
I agree. I need to confirm this but I'm not even sure most wild creatures have any combat skills at all.
Huge creatures can potentially cause massive damage but since skills matter so much, most of them can't really hit anything.

However, I don't think anything has changed about it recently (on a Dwarf Fortress timescale).

I tried to shoot them throught fortifications, but they come faster than I can kill them (extremely efficient way to train marksdwarves tho). I've now got like an hundred more stuck in another part of the caverns.

For now I will just disable cave invaders entirely and wait for Dfhack to clean this mess, hopefully it will restore my FPS.

I tried building slopes, no results.

I then tried this :
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well it released the one directly in front of the hole but not the others.
It seems that they can get out when they have a dwarf directly in their line of sight, but not always.

for now I will create a 'red carpet' of sorts to encourage timely appearances by our guests

You mean building a nice beach as Magnus suggested ? Does it work only for new raids ?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Stuck new invaders (minor spoiler)

I have this problem with serpent men invasion, I don't know if i'm the only one experiencing it.
Each time there is an attack, there is always one group or two which can't get out of the water and stays close to the edge. They then stay there forever, unless I send my military but it results in a lot of drowning (and even then a lot of them still won't come out).

Honestly I wouldn't mind if they weren't accumulating a little more each time. I'm afraid it will mess up with my fort performance or invader cap on the long run.
Do you guys have any idea how to deal with that without half my army drowning ?

DF Gameplay Questions / Link between combat hardening and stress
« on: January 07, 2023, 12:11:38 pm »
Does anyone know how those two are related ?
I've read somewhere that the state "doesn't really care about anything anymore" was now only affecting the reaction to seeing corpses, but I'm not sure about this.
In my fort most of my dwarves gained this trait really fast, and after that I had a really hard time getting one stressed, even after a lot of traumas.

Even after they got stressed, none of them had any kind of breakdown until reaching the state "haggard". And now that they are haggard they are throwing tantrums after tantrums and depressions after depressions non-stop.
I don't have much experience with the previous two or three versions of the game, so i'm not sure it is normal behavior.

Do you think the combat hardening affects the way stress is gained or I am misunderstanding something ?

DF Modding / Re: Raw files no longer copied to save folder anymore

The biggest drawback I can think of is that instead of saying, "put this in your saves folder and start playing," which is insanely easy, you have to tell all following players to, "put this in your saves folder, then install this game's mod I put on the workshop." I call that a small price to pay for reducing mod complexity, while increasing mod compatibility and wieldiness.

Well you could keep the current system but still have a copy of the raw files in every saves. It wouldn't increase folder size by that much.
But yeah, having everything in a single mod folder looks like the best option right now. Hope it works properly.

DF Modding / Raw files no longer copied to save folder anymore
« on: December 31, 2022, 08:08:03 am »
Am I the only one who is really bothered by this ?
The new system is really a huge improvement for most players I think, since you no longer have to create multiple versions of the game for each big mod you have.

Yet I miss the ability to quickly edit the raw files anytimes you need to. I guess you can still do it, but changes would affect every other saves which use the same file so it sounds like a terrible idea.
Moreover, I was looking forward to launch a bloodline game with some friends and playing a modded game seems really tedious. You'd need everybody to have the exact same mod list in the exact same version in order for everything to work, which sounds like a massive headache, especially if mods get updated during the game.

I don't know, maybe i'm dumb and there is a simple workaround for all of this. What do you folks think about this change ?

DF Gameplay Questions / A little translation question
« on: April 28, 2017, 01:50:02 pm »
Hi !

I don't know if this is the right board but english isn't my native language and there is a sentence in a titan's description that I can't understand.

"It has a feathered wings and it has an austere look about it."

Could somebody explain to me what does that mean, please ?

Thanks !

In Legend Mod I saw that a demon was imprisoned not far from me, so I decided to visit him.

But he's not in the castle, nor in the village. I check all the houses, I'm pretty sure.

So where is he ? Tell me it is not a legend-only feature...

Thanks for the answers !
(and sorry for my probably bad english)
