DF Gameplay Questions / Won't Chop Down Trees
« on: February 23, 2013, 11:06:28 pm »
So, I just had to abandon a fortress out of frustration.  I was about a year into the fort, I had walls built, everything going fine.  The problem: I designated an area to chop down trees, but no dwarf I assigned to Wood-cutting would touch them.  I know my dwarves could go outside because my fisherdwarves were still working.  None of my woodcutters were in the military.  I have no idea what the problem was.  The only thing I did prior to this was build a bridge over a moat.  I saw several dwarves crossing it so I know it was not a pathing issue.

??? Any ideas? ???

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Goblins not attacking
« on: September 29, 2009, 10:45:18 am »
I've started a new fort and it's in the Spring of it's third year.  I have a wealth of 211k thanks to a few artifacts and a legendary stonecrafter.  I now that a Goblin civilization is nearby and that they are at war with me, but I have yet to see any ambushes.  I have a great defense up, but that has never stopped them before.  I'm running a vanilla copy of 40d.  Any ideas?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Typical frame Rate
« on: September 19, 2009, 05:25:44 pm »
We all have different computer speeds and styles and opinions when it comes to how we all like to play the game.  One of the biggest varying factors I think is frame rate.

Personally, I like to keep my frame rate maxed at 120 with the graphical fr maxed at 60.  I prefer it so much that if I forget to change it with a new download of the game I have to quit the game immediately and change it.

So, what arr your preferences?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Same fortress, more funny stuff
« on: April 29, 2009, 12:15:37 am »
OK, so just as I'm building a magma forge, one of my Blacksmiths goes fey on me.  He claims my only non-magma forge and collects all of this:

Looks like it would be pretty epic, right? Not as epic as say Dragon Bone, but decently epic. I was hoping for a steel chair or even a statue to appease some noble that I know is coming.  Instead, a little bit later, I get this:

I'm not a happy person.  There is a bright side at least, the thing is worth a pretty penny.

This is the first time I've every seen this.  You would think that being insane would help you in the dwarven military.

DF Modding / Tweak question.
« on: April 25, 2009, 03:41:45 pm »
So embark does not have sand and I want to use Tweak to put a tile down.  Does anyone know the types and designations I have to put in?  I remember seeing a page on the wiki that had them but now that I need it I can't find it.

EDIT: Nevermind.  Found another topic with a suitable substitute.  This can be deleted.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / So, what do you think?
« on: April 24, 2009, 09:56:33 pm »
It's been out there forever (ok, not with dwarves but I had to make it at least a little relevant) and almost everyone has an opinion.  So what's yours?  Post your reasons when you vote.

Dwarves: what more do you need!?  I'll probably have more to add later, but I want to see some arguments.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Rock beds?
« on: April 24, 2009, 08:16:03 pm »
Does anyone how to add something to the objects list to make rock beds and barrels?  I'm in a map I really like but it doesn't have nearly enough wood or any sand for my glass mod.

EDIT: added "barrels"

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Just found something interesting
« on: April 24, 2009, 07:38:55 pm »
I have a dwarf who was so miserable that he went stark, raving mad.  Not all that interesting I know, but the thing is that dwarf was in my military.  Instead of stripping off all his clothes and running the halls babbling, he is just standing at his rally point.  Weirdest thing.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Can't seem to be able to find the right embark site...
« on: April 15, 2009, 09:17:31 pm »
I'm hoping one of you out there in magical "Forumland" can help me.  I'm having a hard time finding the perfect site to build my ultra-fortress (at least by my standards).  I'm looking for a site with a good chunk of trees, cliffs of at least 5, magma pipe, an underground river, and sand.  I don't know if it's possible, but even after putting Volcanoism up really high I can't seem to find the perfect site.  Anyone have a seed like this?

DF Gameplay Questions / Possession Problem
« on: March 22, 2009, 08:50:22 pm »
My original Mason was possessed and took over a Mason's Workshop, but he just sat there and didn't collect any materials or say anything.  When I [q] the workshop it didn't say he needed any materials.  I don't have any items forbidden so he had a pick of everything I had.  He is now melancholy, so there is no saving him, but I would like to know what do do in case this happens in the future.
