DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Movement Lag
« on: October 30, 2007, 05:01:00 pm »
For some reason, in adventure mode, I am getting giant amounts lag, I mean like if I click over to the right I have to wait like 2 seconds before the command goes through, I have a fairly good CPU, but I am using Vista, would that affect it much?


It is very annoying and I am wondering if anyone knows any fixes.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Stopping workshops from using stone
« on: October 30, 2007, 10:22:00 pm »
Well, certain kinds of it at least, I am pretty sure there is a way to make it so your workshops don't use certain kinds of stone, right? I just can't remember it >.<

So please help a old senile 14 year old boy and remind me if it is possible/how to do it.

P.S Not economic stones, normal ones like Olivine

DF Gameplay Questions / Disappointment
« on: July 14, 2007, 05:17:00 pm »
It wasn’t the fact that my two best dwarves basically committed suicide by locking themselves in on the wrong side with floodgates. Nor was it the fact that when I pulled the switch, opps sorry, suggested that my dwarfs pull the switch because it would help them not starve to death, no dwarves came to pull it even though they walked right past it. Nor did the fact that the only reason they were starving to death was because they wouldn’t finish building that **** fish cleaning place and had 50 fishes but decided to starve to death. It wasn’t any of those facts that made me the really angry; it was the fact that I couldn’t DO anything about it.

If I had locked my own units in, that would have been fine. If I had ran out of resources or something and COULDN’T build the fishing place that would have been fine. I would have restarted and tried a different tactic. The fact that I COULDN’T tell my units to stop collecting rocks and build the place pissed me off. The fact that the so called ‘intelligent’ dwarfs killed themselves of their own free will pissed me off. The fact that I spent 1 and a half hours trying to figure out this game and had to lose all of it because I tried to use floodgates in farming, something you’re supposed to do, made me really steamed.

So I ask you, members of these forums, to tell me if I did something wrong, if there was a way to tell the dwarfs to stop being complete idiots, if there was a way to make it so my miners didn’t commit ‘lock-myself-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-floodgate’ suicide. If there is a way, I will play it, and hope to enjoy it.

The fact is, losing IS fun, but not like this, when I lose I will restart and learn from my mistakes, when the game makes me lose it just saps the fun out and makes me want to quit.

G’day

Note: I have read the wiki about floodgates.

Note2: Please don't try to pull the realism stick out, there are players here who put there 'useless' people in public death chambers and are still 100% loved by all. There are permanant floods that have wrecked forts around the world, there ARE NO STAIRS OR LEVELS!
