DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarve's not using barrels for plump helmets
« on: May 24, 2010, 09:32:16 pm »
For some reason, my dwarve's don't like storing plump helmets in barrels.
My food stockpile has a barrel with seeds, a bunch of barrels with wine, and about 80% of the space taken up with groups of 1-3 plump helmets or biscuits.

I have no idea why my dwarve's won't store anything.

My farms are being over crowded with plump helmets, Help!!!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / History

How do I find the entire history?
All I can find is all of the cities and leaders. I just made a world in which thousands of people died each year, there were way over a 100,000 dead.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / HELP
« on: January 24, 2009, 09:08:50 am »
Well...
basically I just want to know what I should do. I have only played adventure for 2 hours, but I keep on dying (wolf bites to throat)
Right now I am a human that is a swordsman and good with armor and shields too. I have only comleted one quest. I have gone to 3 cities but they have no quests. Also, I have never seen a drunk in the cities, so I have not recruited anyone. Where do you find good recruits? And are the goblins supposed to be nice? (they would not attack me) And when I sleep it takes FOREVER, instead I just move a few tiles... and I have not found anything of value... unless you can sell corpses and rocks.

So what did you guys do to become good?

DF Modding / Different Civilization Graphics
« on: January 23, 2009, 01:18:51 am »
Does anyone have any graphics for ANY civilizations other than the normal ones?
I know there are some Orc ones and I have been searching for hours and found people that had them and PMed them but no reply.
So if anyone has any graphics for different civs I would really like to have them.
Thanks!

DF Gameplay Questions / Adding Races
« on: January 22, 2009, 12:02:11 am »
Right now I am playing dwarf fortress with this: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=335 This is a repackaging of the v0.28.181.39e release of Dwarf Fortress for PC. Includes the Guybrush 16x16 tileset, Dystopian Rhetoric's graphics set, and an updated color scheme.
I was wondering if there are any mods that add races and are compatible WITH graphics sets. I really want more races for more sieges... or if there is another way of adding races.
Please help!

Also what graphic sets, tilesets, and color schemes are the best? Is the mayday one better than the one I am using? I want the one that looks the most realistic, and one that would be compatible with mods that add races would be cool.

What would be best would be a mod that includes the graphics/tiles/color schemes? or if you guys are nice enough give me links to the best graphics/tiles that are compatible with the mods or races or not.

DF Gameplay Questions / Game Speed
« on: January 21, 2009, 01:34:25 pm »
Does having animal affect the FPS? I have a quadcore processor with 2.2 Ghz and it runs at an average of 50 FPS. I have 70 dwarfs and 160 animals. I was wondering if I slaughtered 120 of them would it run faster?

I was wondering what mod I should use if I want attacks on my fortress to be more frequent and larger.
Also, please tell me any other mods that you think make the game a lot better.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Sparring not as safe as it seems
« on: January 20, 2009, 03:37:31 pm »
I was wondering how many times your dwarfs have died of suffocation due to sparring injury.
It has been 6 years for me and my third dwarf died of suffocation.

DF Gameplay Questions / Moving Creatures in cages and more...
« on: January 20, 2009, 03:17:12 am »
I have a few questions about cages...
I finally got attacked for the first time and managed to capture one goblin.
I decided I would let the Goblin fight for his freedom, against my captain of the guard of course.
So I made a 3x3 room next to the captain's bedroom...
But then I faced the trouble of moving the cage from the trap...
this is how i did it:
1.made a custom stockpile in the 3x3 room only for goblins
2. they moved the cage into the room
3. I built a cage (under B) and since the cage with the goblin was the closest (i am guessing) they used that one
4. then I hooked it up by a lever and let them fight... of course my captain killed it in a few seconds... but it got as much experience as it would get in a few hours of training

So I was wondering if there is an easier way to move cages...
also when I look at my traps I have a few questions...
1. My cage traps look like they don't have any cages on them but I have around 10 cages
2. When do weapon traps get activated? I made 3 with crossbows because I thought it would shoot at them from a few tiles...
3. Which weapons are best for weapon traps? (should i make those giant axe things?)
4. I also can't tell if my stone traps are armed...
5. And what kind of traps are best?

Some other questions:
1. Is it normal for dwarfs that are training to suffocate to death? (I think I read that they can break bones and suffocate)
2. Is it normal to have a lot of food? I have 2900 and 1500 drinks... I have this HUGE stock pile... probably could last a few years with my 60 dwarfs...
3. Should I make things for recreation like a zoo? (and which ones)
Right now I am kind of bored... waiting for another attack
I have most of the basic buildings and a thriving fortress...
anyone have any suggestions as what I should do that is interesting/fun/cool?

Thanks for any help! I'm pretty new (started one week ago, but not a total n00b, I watched over 3 hours of tutorials...)
