DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / DF has invaded my mind.
« on: April 06, 2010, 05:44:32 pm »
My coworker just got up to search for something, but quickly gave up and went back to his meal.  My first thought, word for word, was "John, electrician, canceled search: eating."

Observe the following setup

7-water

X-water goes here?

This is how it should happen, right?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Free stuff!
« on: August 01, 2008, 02:10:29 pm »
Whenever merchants leave my fort, the last wagon always seems to get mauled by the local wildlife, resulting in free stuff for me.

DF Gameplay Questions / Idiot dwarves, GET BACK TO WORK!!!
« on: August 01, 2008, 02:28:51 am »
One of my dwarves happened to be outside when an ambush came, he got killed, and everyone got all capitalistic over his stuff.  In order to save their lives, I drafted literally every dwarf into the military, and put them all in one squad (except for the real military), and stationed them inside.  Two things went horribly wrong, and I need help fixing them:
1: they went in the completely opposite direction
2: after un-drafting them, nobody will go back to work

the first one isnt so bad, but the second is really bad...I have fortress-critical stuff that needs finishing before the river thaws

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / oops...
« on: March 27, 2008, 05:11:00 pm »
I'm a new player, so this came as a bit of a shock...
So here's a rough side view of what I was trying to do:
# - wall
~ - water
W - well
X - floodgate
L- lever connected to floodgate

#~~~~~~~########
#########    WL#
#### ######## #
####      X   #
###############

I was going to mine out the bottom of the river, then close the floodgate when the miner got by, to keep water pressure from flooding my fortress.
Well, the moment the miner broke the the rock, water burst forth, drowning him almost immediately, and sweeping away the Dwarf who was supposed to pull the lever.  With nothing to stop it, the water flooded my whole fortress, drowned both miners, and stranded the rest of them.

I am NEVER making that mistake again.  But hey, losing is fun, right?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / D-FENCE!
« on: March 27, 2008, 02:43:00 am »
What sort of clever/sadistic/unfair traps have you guys built?  I'm not talking about a hall full of weapon traps, I'm talking about the really clever stuff, that takes some real engineering and planning.

DF Gameplay Questions / Drop their pick
« on: January 10, 2008, 12:44:00 am »
When Kobolds invaded, I accidentally had my miners put down their picks and pick up swords, and now they wont pick the picks back up so they can keep mining.  I'm running low on stone and I need them to get back to work!

DF Gameplay Questions / Party!
« on: January 07, 2008, 11:24:00 am »
My Dwarves won't...stop...partying!
It's annoying me, because half of them are thirsty, and they won't build the f***ing well, the traders are here, and the broker is at a party!
This always happens during the first autumn, just as the traders arrive.
I want to know if there is a way to cancel parties, and I don't care how pissed off the Dwarves get...there's work to do!

DF Gameplay Questions / Can't Trap Muskox
« on: January 07, 2008, 12:20:00 am »
I have two muskoxen(sp?) wandering around in my fortress, and the cage traps I set aren't working.  I built the trap, but when the muskox walks across it, nothing happens.
Help please?

Help please?

DF Gameplay Questions / Can I connect multiple things together?
« on: January 06, 2008, 05:50:00 pm »
Can I set one lever to do two things (like open/close two doors) or set a lever to open a door, the door to open a floodgate, the floodgate to close a drawbridge, etc...?

DF Gameplay Questions / Can't find fuel.
« on: January 06, 2008, 05:42:00 pm »
I was playing on a map with almost no wood, so I needed to find another source of fuel.  However, try as I might, I couldn't find any Coal or Lignite.
Am I missing something?

DF Gameplay Questions / Clever defenses
« on: March 27, 2008, 12:38:00 am »
I'm sure there have been many threads along these lines, but what kind of clever defenses have you guys made?  I'm a rookie player, and am always looking for more efficient ways to make my fortress a Goblin deathtrap.

So far the best defense I've made is a flooding room trap.  Because of the weird position of the water, it took a little engineering to make the trap, but it is very good at drowning Goblins en masse

DF Gameplay Questions / Killing Dwarves
« on: March 26, 2008, 04:20:00 pm »
How do I designate one of my Dwarves to be killed?  I don't have any effective means of killing a Dwarf, short of all the guards.

DF Gameplay Questions / Selective Locking
« on: March 26, 2008, 03:34:00 pm »
Is there a way that I can lock a door, but allow specific Dwarves (such as soldiers) to pass (aka they have the key)
