DF Modding / Options to make farming more difficult?

« on: August 18, 2008, 05:52:26 pm »

Farming as it stands right now it way too easy. As we all know a single 5x5 plot can feed a good sized fort for awhile. So any suggestions on how to make farming harder would be appreciated.

DF Modding / Forging Creatures

« on: May 30, 2008, 03:19:00 pm »

I am working on making a technology advanced race of gnomes. I am going to make a mechanical metal spider creature for them to use as pets. So I have a few creature related questions.

1. Is it possible to make it where my spiders do not breed or have babies?

2. Would it be possible to make these creatures in a forge or any type of workshop?

3. Finally is it possible to have regents for them? Such as requiring bronze for a bronze mechanical spider and steel for a steel mechanical spider?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What should I build next?

« on: June 14, 2008, 05:14:00 am »

I have built the bulk of my fortress and am looking to expand. Currently my goals are to build a lighthouse, church, graveyard, and possibly a mini castle (though this is low priority) inside the walls of my town. I am most concerned with the northern area. So I am asking for your guys opinions on where to build these things. I am trying to make this town look as good as possible, so location is very important to me. Here is a picture of the fort in 3d to give you an idea how of the layout looks and also the map archive for it.

DF Gameplay Questions / Melting Stone

« on: March 05, 2008, 02:22:00 am »

I read somewheres recently that you can edit the raw files on stone to set its boiling tempature at 0. This way all the stone on the map at the time would disolve. Would anyone know how to do this?

DF Gameplay Questions / Water pressure and my dam

« on: May 18, 2008, 02:18:00 pm »

I was just inspired to build a huge dam by the fort waterwall. I've got the reservoir dug out, dam build, and almost everything ready to go. To better show you I've uploaded my map here GearWall Dam

I have ran into a problem though with water pressure. I did a test run where I filled up the reservoir all nice a full and I released the flood gates. All the water from the reservoir flew out extremely fast, flooded the middle of the dam and left the reservoir at one level high. My problem with this is I want to be able to keep the reservoir topped off and somehow control the flow of water leaving the dam.

I also tried out pumps to regulate the flow without having to deal with water pressure but I found that they suck up water faster than my river can replenish it. I was hoping that someone has some alternative ideas they could throw my way.
