DF Gameplay Questions / Enemies! I need Enemies!

« on: August 26, 2010, 12:40:55 pm »

But seriously, where are they? in the days of 40d i could have orc ambushes by early summer (with dig deeper), and sieges not that long after, in DF 2010, well, nothing, even with goblins at war with me, and even in other mods like Deons genesis, still nothing, there are factions at war with me, there are other factions just with the general red line, but not a damn whisper of life, sieges were the only real challenge, do I have to just mine my way into the house of incredibly poor taste in stone downstairs?

DF Gameplay Questions / A query regarding pumps

« on: July 04, 2010, 12:39:11 pm »

Or rather, how much water they pump, I plan to have a 40 z level high pump stack bring water from the underground lakes, and dump it in a 3 wide aqueduct, now I've worked out all my power requirements, and my idea is to make it a perpetual motion machine, the problem here is, will one pump stack be able to keep a 3 wide "stream" filled? there will be flow as it'll be draining out the other end, through my dining hall, and back down the 40 z levels to the lake, before being pumped back up, etc, and I do plan to use some hatches to allow the water to "build up" from the manual start before getting it to do perpetual motion, so err, yes, any thoughts on whether one pump stack will be enough?

Whilst i'm here, can you do outside farming on muddied constructed floor tiles?

DF Gameplay Questions / The age of...Drivewasted?

« on: June 30, 2010, 02:24:52 pm »

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So err, yeah, starts off as age of hydra and mountain titan, smaller region map, descends at year 30 something to age of drivewasted.

It was just an oddity i wanted to share, seems reproducable with the following seeds (in order)

2494503960
1874311828
4178236638
1797354856

So err, should i be filing this as a bug report or anything, or just considering it a one off "Thing"? and on a similar note, anyone else had "The Draconic age" yet?

DF Gameplay Questions / Query on magma

« on: April 18, 2010, 01:29:20 pm »

Or rather, how to get rid of it, there is a strain of adamantine at what looks like (i haven't found out a way to drop a dwarf through 12 levels of magma in a non straight line to "scout" for about one milisecond, i'm working on it) the bottom of a magma sea, this presents a problem, because given the shape of the adamantine vein, i could at maximum get 6 pieces out (bringing down a stairway from one z level above, where there is more adamantine) of a possible 36 if i was able to mine out the entire vein, so my query is thus, is there a way to get to this adamantine? I considered pumping the magma out, but i would need 26 pumps to get it to the surface, and that's just one tunnel of pumps, pumping water in seems a more likely option, but i am unsure of how to go about it, this is my first adamantine vein (only took me a year in real life to find one), and my first need to actually use magma for more than fuel, so yes, i wished to ask for advice on this not very serious issue, i'm unsure if the adamantine is even worth it really...

Is my last comment considered dwarven heresey?

DF Modding / Question on making rock Beds

« on: October 02, 2009, 07:33:52 am »

Now being a total noob at this i figured i'd ask here, since i'd prefer my first time at modding (well second, but first time i tried to replace every creature in the world with angels and murlocs for some reason, never got that to work) To go well, is it even possible to make beds out of stone? if so what would i have to be doing to make that happen, and would they be buildable at the masons workshop, or would they come under the smelter or some such?
