DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Newbie questions

1) Whenever merchants are coming, I activate "broker required at depot", and I have to desactivate ALL his labors in order for him to mind coming at the depot. Sometimes, he doesn't even show up (doing other things like SLEEPING, DRINKING, EATING) and the merchants leave without being able to trade.

What's up with that?

2) Elven merchants get upset when I bring wood barrels (wood stuffs) at the depot and refuse to trade, but everything is stored into these. Is there a way to avoid this situation and trade with the elves?

Thx!
Well, 1) Is normal, I once had to stop a party by taking away my dwarves' precious table so my broker could trade. 2) I've never really had this problem before, I usually trade stone crafts that are transported in wooden bins. If you trade everything in the bin (below it in the trade window), instead of just trading the whole bin, then they tend to overlook the fact that you brought everything in a dead tree. Now if you're trying to trade booze (although what for, I have no idea) or something that HAS to be in a barrel, then you'll have to get a smith to beat out some barrels (lead barrels if you feel really evil  ;))

Today I was at work, and I realized that for the longest time now, I've always thought it was somehow innapropriate to express interest in the opposite sex. The things I learn when not in college, whoa.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Pirate Fortress
« on: October 29, 2010, 11:55:42 am »
I've had this idea brewing in my head to make a pirate fortress for awhile now, I was hoping to get some suggestions on how to build ships, ramshackle wooden buildings, etc.

In the past I've always made crafts out of lead for trading. I end up minting coins out of the leftover silver.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What do you do first after embarking?
« on: October 29, 2010, 11:47:16 am »
I usually embark with basic equipment. I always make sure I have 20 urists of every type of alcohol; a male and female war dog; and a male cat.

My dwarves usually look like this:
2 miner/masons
1 woodcutter/carpenter
1 woodcutter/mechanic
1 doctor (2 levels of every doctor skill)
1 "Brew Master" grower/brewer
1 Peasant (with appraiser skill)

I'm still a bit new, I've just been experimenting with different biomes. Lately I've been playing with !!FUN!! volcanoes, no accidents yet  8)

This results in horribly messed up embark locations... Instant collapses, screams from below, magma coming all the way up to the surface suspended in mid air, frame rates of 2, 300+ z lvls of nonsensical materiel placement, etc... I replaced all of the [AQUIFER]'s with {AQUIFER}'s in the three files I could find in the raw folders that contained them of both the game, and the saved locations. I tried using old maps as well as genning new maps and it always ends up with distorted embarks :( Can anyone give me more details on how to do this?

I've checked all of the Inorganic_X files in my raw/data folder and all of the same files in my data/save/regionX/raw/objects folder.

Sounds like all you really need to do is change everything back. Once your first major seige comes along, you should know what to do  ;D

I'm happy because today is not Sunday. Working at a restaurant on a weekend is a nightmare for any introvert.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Because of Dwarf Fortress...

... I'm not bothered in the slightest by being single for over a year and a half. Before DF I would whimper in a dark corner.

... My dad was looking for tin ore in WoW. My response: "Just look for cassiterite."

I've only been playing for little more than a month, I'd say I'm rapidly adapting to cavelike surroundings  8)

Also, someone on this thread said they discovered tvtropes because of DF. I discovered DF because of tvtropes!
