DF Gameplay Questions / Solved: Depot Destroyed - Can't Interact with Items

« on: November 27, 2021, 01:01:06 am »

Hello All,

My depot was destroyed by a troll when there were still some trade good inside. The items are now all over the ground but I can't interact with them. A few of the items have the TSK marker but nobody comes to pick anything up. I've tried forbidding, un-forbidding and marking them for dump. Nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

DF Gameplay Questions / Edit Solved: Dwarf can't move

« on: July 07, 2014, 10:47:46 pm »

Hey guys,

I suffered some minor losses in a goblin ambush. It just so happened that they killed my broker/manager/bookkeepers spouse. So of course he throws a fit and he is very unhappy.

Now he seams to be bugged. His task is drink but he wont move. He is stuck in place. He is going to die of thirst soon. I am currently deconstructing the road he is standing on. Any other ideas on how to get him to move again?

I have no burrows active and plenty of booze available.

Thanks

Solved: Deconstructing the road worked.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Rampage

« on: October 24, 2012, 11:11:22 pm »

Hi guys!

This is what happened... I have 2 sword dwarves in a squad. I ordered them to kill a trader that was running around my fort babbling because it was getting on my nerves. It was a very efficient kill. In 3 strokes he severed the spine, pierced his heart then smashed the trader’s brain with his pommel. Very satisfying! This generated a good feeling for me and the sword dwarf.

I turned my attention elsewhere for a while. When I checked my status later on I had lost 10 dwarves. I looked back at the area and there was blood everywhere. The sword dwarf never stopped killing. Once he got a taste of dwarf blood he couldn't stop. He was killing every civilian he could catch. I wasn't even getting "struck down" notifications.

I checked on him and he was "quite content" had "talked with a child", was "satisfied at work" and "took joy in the slaughter". He appears perfectly normal. Never mind that he killed my legendary carpenter and some legendary craft dwarves.

Had anyone else run into this? I am working on a mega project and don't have time for this.

Thanks

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Vampire in my fortress

« on: February 21, 2012, 10:20:15 pm »

I am sure this is going to be a repeat post, but here it goes anyway... BTW this is my first fortress in the new release.

Nish the child has been found drained of blood! I have a vampire on the loose somewhere in my fortress. I am sooo excited I got chills. I tried to get my wife to look but she didn't care.

I looked at the justice screen and found out that I could convict someone for the crime. I accidently convicted my legendary miner. Oh well. can't stay and chat, back to the game now.

DF Gameplay Questions / I need Immigrants

« on: April 16, 2011, 07:02:35 pm »

It's been a few years since I have gotten any immigrants. Every season it tells me that I have attracted no immagrants. I used to get them in this fort. Yeah, a few dwarves have died terrible deaths during some goblin raids, but thats been about 4 years ago. Most of my dwarves are either happy or ecstatic. Also, I am not getting dwarven caravans either. I am assuming these are related.

My diplomat may have gotten killed, I don't remember. Would that cause the rest of the dwarf civilization to abandon me?

DF Gameplay Questions / Someone Please Tell Me Why?

« on: September 21, 2010, 06:06:50 pm »

Why did a single goblin run through about 40 stone fall traps without dying?

It's about the 5th year of my fortress and I have been defending with cage traps. I had an abundance of caged goblins so I let a few of them loose through a tunnel that was lined with stone fall traps. Well a single goblin tripped everyone of them and because I have not figured out the military or the burrows yet my entire fortress is being ransacked - AS I TYPE THIS.

AARGH

EDIT: And yes since all of the traps were tripped everyone of my dwarves ran over as fast as they could to reset them. Of course they are now being cut down.

DF Gameplay Questions / Traders wont leave

« on: August 03, 2008, 10:40:58 pm »

I started my most recent fortress on a small hill, built a trade depot, and then proceeded to wall around it. I built a drawbridge out to a platform to use for an entrance (5 wide). To get on top of the platform from the outside there is a row of upward slopes.

The first dwarf traders came before the wall was finished and now they refuse to use the bridge to leave. I tore down a section of the wall and they wont use that either.

As a last resort I removed the depot and dug a channel around the wagon to make the floor collapse. It killed one of the traders, but the wagon is hanging in midair.

I am about to abandon the fortress because because I recruited all the dwarves (and walked away from the computer) to make them decent fighters, now they are all heroes except for 3.

Questions
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I never got any migrants. Is that because the first dwarf traders never left?

Is this something for the bug report?

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves wont harvest

« on: November 21, 2007, 01:14:00 am »

Hi,

I am new to this version of the game. I checked the Wiki but there was nothing about this.

I just lost a whole season of plump helmet to spoilage because noone is harvesting. I have 3 food stockpiles: Seeds, Plants, and everything else. My orders are set to All Dwarves Harvest and my 5 idlers are just standing by cleaning up as the plants rot.

Am I missing something? I have plenty of alchohol for work ethic. Is this something new in this version of the game?

Thanks.

DF Gameplay Questions / Melting items

« on: December 29, 2007, 03:48:00 am »

I have a decent supply of platinum and I want to make some high quality statues with it. First I need to train someone up to a high enough skill level, but I don't want to use all my metal to do this. My question if I make a bunch of statues and then melt them will I get all of my platinum bars back? I know it takes several bars to make a statue, but will I only get one bar back from melting? It's hard to keep track of this from the stocks menu because there is so much activity going on.
