DF Gameplay Questions / Evil rain and [WEATHER:NO]
« on: October 27, 2019, 05:57:13 am »
Hi, I set [WEATHER:NO] in d_init, but i still get evil rains in my game.
This bothers me a lot because of the framerate, and dfhack doesnt seem up to date, so i cant just clean the contaminants by command.

What can I do?

Life Advice / Buying glasses
« on: March 09, 2019, 04:13:11 am »
Hi, I need glasses and I just discovered they are ridiculously expensive. I am not exactly broke ... but I just dont understand why I should pay 400 EUR for some pieces of glass joined together by some plastic or metal or whatever that probably cost about 3 EUR in raw materials. Google search suggested this is a result of a world wide monopoly and possibly lizard people or something.

Do any of you know a way to get glasses more cheaply? Especially since i am 100% sure I am gonna lose them or break them within 6 months...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Are you still unlikely to get attacked by goblins in current version?
« on: January 26, 2019, 11:04:37 am »
I feel like starting a new game, but I dont wanna waste a few hours only to find out nothing interesting is happenning.
Also, are kobolds still nonexistent?

DF Gameplay Questions / How do I ensure I will get attacked?
« on: May 04, 2018, 11:24:01 am »
- I am in my fifth year
- when generating the world I checked population it was 7k dwarves, 12k goblins (small world)
- the goblins have settlements less than a days travel from me.
- i dont even have contact with them yet, they havent sent a single snatcher, let alone a siege
- also no forgotten beasts
- invaders is set to YES

Under what circumstances will they actually attack me? I dont want to start a new game and get bored to death again. What should I look for when generating a new world?

Sorry for making you listen to music, I hate it when people do that to me. But I am curious.

Life Advice / How to tell a coworker I want to eat lunch alone?
« on: August 03, 2016, 03:22:33 pm »
Pretty straightforward. We sit next to each other 8 hours a day, why does it have to be 9? I ran out of things to say a long time ago.
Once or twice a week would be allright, but I cant do it everytime. How do I change this (for good) without screwing the relationship?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / elven and human caravans dont come
« on: December 07, 2015, 10:55:58 am »
I am nearing year 3 and so far, only dwarven caravans came.
I am 100% certain that elves and humans were listed as my neigbours when I embarked. The "No trade" text was definitely not there.
Anyone else experiencing this in the new version? I am not sure whether it is a bug or some new "exciting" feature.

Life Advice / Sick relatives
« on: June 16, 2015, 12:39:37 pm »
So today I learned my grandma is going to an operation tomorrow, because of cancer. I live in a different country and I didn't know she was sick. I want to give her a call, but I don't exactly know what to say, and more important: calling in a time such as this carries a certain implication; "Hey I wanted to say hi because you may not live for much longer", which I think makes a patient even more scared and sad than they already are. I would like that conversation to be a bit more cheerful and optimistic.
I probably won't get many replies in time, but this situation is going to come up again, and I would like to know how other people deal with it.

Life Advice / Forgot to go to work...
« on: April 20, 2015, 12:49:38 pm »
Its a part time job, I work different days every week, and for some reason I was really sure that I had no work scheduled for today. Only now, in the evening have I realized I missed an entire day.

What the hell am I going to do :O

This is further complicated by the fact that I am currently being considered for a better, more interesting job within the company.

Is the situation beyond saving?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Misplaced biome features:bug or feature?
« on: November 28, 2014, 04:48:11 pm »
In 40.18 I am getting "acrid sludge" rain and undead creatures in an area that is most definitely completely neutral, with closest evil biome being 7 embark tiles away. Is this normal now?

Life Advice / sodium hydroxide
« on: August 17, 2014, 12:46:26 pm »
So i just used this with boiling water to clean my bathroom sink. Nothing went wrong, but it has produced quite a heavy stench and the area is difficult to ventilate. The product information does not address this. Are there any dangers in inhaling the ...whatever gas or vapour which was produced during the reaction? OFC I did my best not to breathe the stuff but I want to know how long till I can take a shower again.

DF Gameplay Questions / Outpost liaison is partying instead of conducting meeting
« on: July 07, 2014, 09:34:45 am »
To be more specific he is hanging out in the meeting area. My mayor is easibly accessible and has had no job for a month or so. The liaison did get injured by a goblin, so I think that's what's causing it. Will he eventually go insane, or do I have to kill him manually?
