DF Gameplay Questions / Gems
« on: August 28, 2011, 01:51:04 pm »
Ok I am having some problems with gems. Some weird ones.
First, why are my dwarves letting Large Gems sit around instead of moving them to the Finished Goods stockpile? They are not forbidden or marked for dumping. And the finished goods stockpile IS indeed set to accept large gems.
Second, why is my Jeweler's Workshop not providing me with options to cut the gems I've just found and transported to the gem stockpile? I have rough Precious Fire Opals, Prase, a few others with no option under the Jeweler's workshop tasks to cut them. Tried deconstructing and rebuilding the workshop.

DF Gameplay Questions / Animals eat now?
« on: March 06, 2011, 01:21:29 am »
Topic. I just started playing again. The last time I played was .16 I believe.
I just noticed one of my starting animals had the hungry marker so I checked its status and yup it was hungry. When did animals start getting hungry or thirsty and what do I do about it?

DF Gameplay Questions / Armor layering
« on: August 23, 2010, 12:22:37 pm »
Ok, I'm just starting to deal with this mess of a military interface. I want my dudes to wear a steel chain shirt with a steel breastplate overtop. How do I manage this? At the moment, my "test recruit" is running to the armor stockpile, equiping, moving away a few feet, running back, taking off his mail shirt and donning the breastplate, moving away a few steps, rinse and repeat. He's not layering he just keeps switching out the mail shirt and the breastplate.
How do I get him to wear both?

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma
« on: August 17, 2010, 10:03:17 pm »
Ok well I haven't played since 40d and in this new version how do I get Magma? I know there's a magma sea REALLY DEEP in the caverns but I need something closer to the surface to fuel my forges and outfit my troops so I can actually explore the underground without the troops getting ripped apart.
Apparently in this version you can't even use the finder for magma and the init.txt doesn't even have an area for revealing stuff on the embark map. I can't even find which area on a mountain tile has the HFS.
I wanna find the curious structure and unleash wagons full of fun on my fortress.
So is the only choice to make lots of coal and forge the ole fashioned (annoying) way?

DF Gameplay Questions / Assigning an axe?
« on: April 11, 2010, 01:21:55 pm »
Ok I got a new woodcutter migrant but he didn't come with an axe. So I made him one. How do I get him to equip it and go out and chop wood? His woodcutting labor is enabled. I also just assigned an arsenal dwarf noble but dunno how to use him.

DF Gameplay Questions / New Skills
« on: April 05, 2010, 04:58:38 am »
So do we have any idea what some of these new ambiguous skills do?
Like I got an immigrant that had Adequate Fighter. And I gave my starting expedition leader the Leader skill.
What do these skills and others like them actually do?

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarven Economy
« on: September 28, 2009, 10:17:34 pm »
Well when I got my new computer I forgot to disable the dwarven economy in the init file.
Now the baron has arrived and started it up. I don't particularly like the dwarven economy. If I go disable the economy in the init, will it still be going on in my fort since its already started?

DF Gameplay Questions / New fort. Bug?
« on: August 29, 2009, 04:03:03 pm »
So I started a new fort. I'm in winter of year 2 so I've had 2 dwarven caravans. Neither caravan had a liaison come talk to my leader. Is this a bug or is there some explanation? Its highly irritating as now I can't ask them to bring stuff next time.

EDIT- oh as an aside, I channeled out a square overtop the magma flow that goes to my smithing area and made it a pit so I can dump all the goblin thieves that I've been catching in my cage traps. However the first goblin i tried to "pit" broke out of its cage almost the moment my dwarf starting hauling it. Is there a better way to do this? I haven't really tried this before and would be open to suggestions.

DF Gameplay Questions / Finding a dragon's cave
« on: August 24, 2009, 10:23:38 pm »
So I genned a new world and I was looking through the history in Legends mode, and I see this one dragon that survives to present day that has dozens and dozens of dwarves worshiping it. Now it says the dragon's cave is named The Sewer of Stops. How do I go about locating where this cave actually is?

DF Gameplay Questions / Tame pets?
« on: July 06, 2009, 08:23:09 pm »
Ok so I bought some cages from the hippies that I thought were empty.
Turns out one has a Tame Bat and one has a Tame Cardinal. Can I do anything with these animals?
I also can't seem to release them from their cages. I'd kinda like to use those cages for my traps.

DF Modding / Dtil Utility (40d11)
« on: May 21, 2009, 03:49:54 pm »
Does Dtil work with 40d11? When I do game -> Attach to process it says it can't find dwarf fortress.
I'm running vista with .net framework 3.5 using mike mayday's tileset download of 40d11.

DF Gameplay Questions / Military Dwarf stuck?
« on: April 14, 2009, 09:57:55 pm »
Well one of my military dwarfs is sitting in my entrance hall with the job Pickup Equipment cept he's not moving. He seems to be stuck. I had just set him to start using a spear. I have a nice silver training spear sitting in the barracks. Its not behind a locked door and its only like half a screen away. In fact the rest of his squad is happily sparring away in the barracks with their new silver weapons. Any way to remedy this? I can't remove him from the military as he's an Elite Wrestler.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Giant Eagle fun
« on: April 10, 2009, 01:26:16 am »
Well for the first time ever, the elves brought something nice to trade. A tame Giant Eagle in a cage. I snatched it up obviously trading some worthless roast or some such.
Now my question to the public is, What should I do with said tame Giant Eagle. At the moment, its just sitting in my 1 tile meeting zone while the dorfs around it accumulate social xp.
