DF Gameplay Questions / No Metals/Irons on Map?

« on: July 24, 2011, 10:27:13 pm »

It seems like no matter where I try to embark (have always done embarks with flux+deep/shallow metals+clay+soil) I don't see any Irons (Hematite, Magnetite, or Lemonite) or any other other type of weapons-grade(or armor, anvils, etc) materials(copper) on the map.

I have used two different versions of DF, as well as a DF with a different tileset, genning maps with Perfect World, and using both gen options available within DF.

I have used dfreveal (from DFhack) to look through all the Z levels on most of my maps.

I have a total of 30 fortress, with about 10 of them actually having built forts on them.

I don't have any mods that might affect this (just Dwarf Therapist, that other tileset, and dfreveal).

The only one I think that had any sort of metal on it (think it was copper) was like my 3rd Fortress, when I didn't know how to set up metalsmithing and such, and then abandoned.

Anyone know if this is normal?
Can I fix it?
Can I get around it?
Am I missing something?

DF Gameplay Questions / How to start metal industry?

« on: July 15, 2011, 07:31:33 pm »

Well, I've finally gotten a fairly safe fortress with everything I care about (right now).

But I've run into a problem, no matter how I arrange things, it seems like I can't magma forges (trying to do it above a lava sea) to properly work.

Can anyone explain how they interact with magma and the rest of the system for me? Maybe with a diagram?

Thanks in advance.

DF Gameplay Questions / Decent Office/Quarters/etc? (Mayor Needs)

« on: July 09, 2011, 04:14:47 pm »

How can I upgrade a meager office+quarters+room to decent level (and eventually to whatever comes after that)? My Mayor says he needs one (I don't think I HAVE to fulfill it, but I want to keep him happy).

I already have a fairly nice office (2 rooms with bed, cabinet, chair, table, etc) for him set up, but that's not good enough, apparently.

I looked on the Wiki like I normally do, but I didn't find anything defining what those are.

Help?

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarfs not working?

« on: June 15, 2011, 08:06:23 pm »

I'm relatively new to this game, but having read the quick start guide and gone through my first 4 Fortresses, I would suspect that I would know how to remedy this (though I am still a long ways away from mastering Fortresses).

However, I cannot. Most of my 42 Dwarfs are lounging around the Meeting area (idle)(though are still happy, for some reason. And even though I have meticulously assigned (Using Dwarf Therapist) each of them multiple jobs (should I only assign them one each at a time?) they are NOT collecting food (from the farms) or cutting down trees (or doing most of their other jobs), however if tell them to dump an area, they will ALL rush out and clear the area (very quickly).

(Note: I had this problem before with Mining, only 1 or 2 Dwarfs would ever mine an area, no matter how big the area was or how many areas there were, or how many Dwarfs I assigned to mine.

How can I prevent this?
Is there any way to motivate my Dwarfs to do their jobs?

Am I missing something?

**I can provide a SS of the Dwarf Therapist or of my game map if need be.

Help!
