DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Removing Aquifiers Totally?
« on: August 27, 2009, 02:23:34 pm »
Would there be any way in world gen to remove all aquifers from being created in a map?


Aquifiers are the things I hate most... probably even more than the elves...

« on: August 03, 2009, 07:50:42 pm »
In this thread, lets post our names represented in the dwarven world.

If you draw/photoshop it yourself, post what it would be to the best of your ability, and I'll shoop it for you.



I'll start with my own.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Setting up for a Child king?

Istbarlesast Furat Arban, "Roseflank the Viginity of Cradling", a Adamantine Throne.

This is a Adamantine Throne. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with Adamantine and encircled with bands of adamantine and turtle shell. This object is adorned with hanging rings of Adamantine, and menaces with spikes of Adamantine.

I really hope I get a child king... It would work perfectly with this throne.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Largest Perpetual Motion Device?
« on: August 01, 2009, 03:49:15 pm »
A few days ago, i used a motion device from the Wiki, it worked well enough.


Then I tried on my other computer to make a larger version... Which failed...


My second one SHOULD work based off the first one, I cant really tell why it isn't. Is my flow not enough, or is it too long for the water to travel with "motion"?


What is the largest perpetual motion device that you guys have created? Can you post screens?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Epic Bronze Smelting
« on: July 28, 2009, 10:19:03 am »
So, some of the npc caravans came with some bismuth bronze items, at about the same time as a few ambusher groups.

Magma was pressing them all into a little tiny area, and so they fought, and got all kinds of great goo on the items.

Quote
This is a bloody bloody ichorous ichorous vomitous ichoous bloddy molten Bismuth bonze laced with vamari blood.

I wonder what would happen to it if i saved it from the magma.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Mosus, Leader of Cats
« on: July 23, 2009, 11:34:25 pm »
So, I forgot to assign my starter cats to cages this time around, and 3 out of the 4 of them adopted.

All 3 of them chose a dwarf named Mosus Istbarmosus or "Mosus Roserooms".

What specifically makes a cat choose a master, just proximity?

« on: July 13, 2009, 04:27:05 pm »
Is there any way that i can create endless rain on my map?

Rain just started on my map, if i turn off weather, will it keep raining, allowing me to have an endless supply of water?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Got my first Nobles!
« on: June 11, 2009, 05:42:08 pm »
I just got my first nobles ever... (other than the Dungeon Master, I almost always get him). Before 40d11, my framerate was horrible at about 40 dwarves, so I never got any more than that, and therefore never had any of the major nobles.

I got all at one this game, The tax collector, the Baroness, The baronesses Consort, The Hammerer, and The Dungeon Master...

I'm ecstatic, I finally have the dwarven economy, and I finally will be able to get the elfish liasonthing...

I don't have my tower anywhere near able to hold them, though... Any advice on where to put tombs in a tower?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / My dwarf was placing this block when....
« on: June 10, 2009, 09:59:20 pm »
Derakon started yelling, and scared the living shit out of the dwarf. He dropped the block, and my fortress tantrum spiraled to its death. Yay FUN!

DF Modding / Question about stone.

Is there a way to make a layer that doesn't drop stones, but is smoothable like a stone layer would be?

DF Modding / Creature Manager
« on: June 09, 2009, 06:26:58 pm »
Ok, so i've got Dwarf Manager... and its quite useful for changing my dwarves activity quickly.


I've added the [PET] tag to a bunch of sentient creatures, and I was wondering if it was possible to make a program similar to Dwarf manager to give these sentients jobs?

DF Modding / Epic Elves?
« on: June 04, 2009, 11:54:07 am »
So, everyone hates the bloodthirsty tree huggers.


I have found one reason to like them, but only one... They bring good pets.

Is there any way to mess with the civ text for them that makes them bring nothing but cages filled with creatures?

I tried myself, first, but i failed miserably.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Artificial Cave River II
« on: June 03, 2009, 09:06:07 pm »
WARNING:Rant-ish

In my last thread, titled "Artificial Cave River" I showed my last fortress (URL). In this fortress, I had built a cave river that curled around underground before being pumped back up into itself to start again.

I took that design, and built a new version of it on a map with an underground lake, a brook, and a bottomless pit. This new version is quite a bit larger(I used a 3x3 map instead of a 2x2), and is surrounded by growing tower caps.

As a word of advice, anyone who tries to do underground water features like this, make sure you dig ALL of it before you add the water.

I hate cats... >_> Dogs, I love, but not cats.

I've never had enough cats to make a catsplosion, but I HAVE had enough hippos to make a hipposion.

Also, masterpiece spider silk thread... Fun. I've never bothered to make clothes, but the spider silk is so easy to collect. Another reason why I hate cats, they kill my precious spiders.

Lol, philosopher immigrant. AND GAME CRASH! To 3 hours of digging ago.... NOOooooo! The carp the elves brought me is gone too....

This last time the elves came was the only time I actually liked elves. They brought me a tame carp. Too bad  I lost it with the crash...

Dwarf Children float. I set them to be able to use pumps using Dwarf Manager, and one of them pumped so fast that two children(one was running past to get to another pump) ended up being pushed OVER the river i had, and onto the other side.

Wow.... DF is crashing way too much now... I must get around to saving a few times every season.

I hope i can get a save in right before the elves appear, so as to get a better chance at scoring that carp that I lost when hte game crashed...
