DF Suggestions / Squad Sparring
« on: July 26, 2016, 03:11:10 am »
I was wondering about the viability of having a squad that is training form up into sparring pairs (if the squad is an even number) otherwise the odd dwarf will train on their own as the others spar. Expanding on this, maybe when a master dwarf is planning to spar, they may fight 2 at once as a challenge, and to enable for odd sized squads to all spar. Eventually perhaps an option to allow for multiple squads to spar amongst themselves, an example being to have a marksdwarf squad train archery for X months and then spar with the hammer squad for Y months.

This would most likely require a commander to oversee organising everything, please let me know if there is anything we should add to such a system.

DF Gameplay Questions / Help with Minecarts
« on: September 05, 2014, 08:39:01 am »
Hi all, I've looked at the tutorials and setup for minecart routes, but cant figure out what's wrong.

Above is an album with my setup, where I've tried marking the large bar stockpile #13 as taking from links only, or not taking from links only, and still doesn't work.
They've been sitting at 100% when I've had lots of haulers to guide them and empty them. Both routes are setup the same way.
Any help debugging these would be appreciated.

DF Suggestions / Mini Suggestion - Fences
« on: August 12, 2014, 11:10:35 am »
Hi all, just a mini suggestion after playing the new release and seeing animals running around scared above ground, I thought an interesting idea could be to implement fences, a type of construction made of your chosen material that impedes animals from crossing it, but won't impede (much) other entities.

Just as a way of being able to control them easily to stop them from escaping your haulers and penning zones. I would also like to see a way of designating a pen zone as a specific animal type, and then these animals are automatically grouped together.

DF Suggestions / Manager Extension - Exclude Workshops
« on: July 26, 2014, 10:39:50 am »
Hi all, not sure if this has been suggested before (did a quick search, nothing jumped out at me in particular) but I find it annoying that you cant manage certain workshops if using the manager function, as by profiling workshops, the manager will still give the profiled workshops jobs, which depending on the jobs and the profiles assigned, wont be completed.

My suggestion is an option in the profile of workshops to toggle whether or not they can be assigned jobs from the manager menu, allowing for jobs you don't really care about to be done by anybody, while profiling workshops for high value jobs such as armor/weapon crafting by your master crafters.

Please discuss about whether this would alleviate the issue or of ways to make this more versatile.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Can't select Master Diagnostician as CMD
« on: March 30, 2012, 10:54:03 pm »
About to set up a proper hospital and I'm attempting to select a master as the CMD, but he wont show up in the noble select menu. However I know that I have a vamp in the fort, could it be I can't select him because of that?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Any Tips on how to find stealthy necromancer?
« on: March 19, 2012, 07:44:48 am »
Hey, just got back into the swing of fort mode, procrastinated about moving my refuse pile (here it comes) from outside, then got ambushed by a necromancer (or maybe a gang, who knows O.o). Just like the title says, is there any tips to finding stealthed necromancers?
P.S. Legendary +5 Axedwarf loves all the practice he's getting :P ;D

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarf Fortress Theme Music Remastered
« on: March 15, 2012, 09:54:56 am »
Hey everyone, accidentally stumbled upon this, and decided that 1) was pretty cool, and 2) that this needed a little bit more exposure, and that hopefully you guys like it as I do. Anyway, enjoy  :)
