DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Gremlin Tears - Where do you stock these?
« on: October 25, 2014, 06:43:19 pm »
Somehow, a huge batch of materials was left on the map.  I went to reclaim everything, and there was a barrel of gremlin frozen tears.  Where do you stock these?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Trading food versus Trading Rock Crafts
« on: October 16, 2014, 08:07:45 pm »
So...I was taught a while back to trade rock crafts.  Fine, fine, I understand...rock is everywhere.  BUT I decided to trade food with this fort, and VOILA my trades are now going from the 6-10K range to the 60-70K range, in the same amount of game time!  Why in the heck would anyone focus on trading bins of crafts worth 2K when they can trade a barrel of food worth 10K?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Quick way to remember containers
« on: September 22, 2014, 08:03:16 am »
Okay, finally getting back into learning this game (and I just bought the book on Dwarf Fortress, should be in in a few days) - dealing with containers.  A couple of quick questions:

#1 - Is there a quick way to remember which container is for what?  I have a fort started and was cutting gems, but I couldn't remember which container to make for gems (just found out this morning via Wiki that it is bins).  Is that the only one for gems (side question)?  Also, stuff like charcoal - going to try to figure out what those store in.

#2 - So I make stockpiles (and I will edit this if I find the info in the meantime) and it says that Bins and Barrels are preset to 0 per stockpile.  Is "0" a designation for no definite #, and it will fill as needed?

I am guessing that if I want to be serious about hauling, it would be good to add up to 3 wheelbarrows to rooms?

In case there are any DFers who like country music, you can check me out at www.dougpinson.com.  I got a new album coming out hopefully in a month.

DF Community Games & Stories / Ustuthsakrith (Community Fort)
« on: May 04, 2013, 12:05:14 pm »
Okay guys, I am learning more and more about how the forums work, and I had just started my own fort and had been writing a story along with it for practice.  Sometimes writing the story is as interesting as actually playing it - it gives the game more meaning to me personally. 

I wanted to begin a community fort, so if anyone wants to be dorfed, let me know.  I have already completed the first year, so ANY dwarf is eligible for dorfing. 

I will post progress so far with pictures.  If you want to be dorfed, or if you have suggestions, please post and I will see what I can do.

DF Community Games & Stories / The Domain of Dawns (Succession Fortress)
« on: April 25, 2013, 07:22:34 pm »
Ok, I am new to DF, but I have been learning the basics.  I am teaming up with a friend who is more polished on DF than I am, and we are going to play a succession fortress. Feel free to ask for a turn or to be dorfed or both!

The name of the world is Zuza Sagus, "The Domain of Dawns".  I set it to largest world, very long history, largest amount of civilizations, medium beasts, medium savagery, and frequent ores.  I will try to document the story along the way and be semi-interesting along the way - here's for some fun DF-style!

Current game status:

BirdBrainf4 - Turn completed 1 2 3
Em3rgency - Turn Completed 1
ProfHockenbery - Turn In Progress
BanjoSnake - Waiting
evictedSaint - Waiting
? - Positions open

Dwarfs that can still be dorfed: 52

DF Gameplay Questions / My Adventures in DF
« on: February 11, 2013, 04:04:53 pm »
Guys, I am a total noob at DF.  I really want to learn the game, and I am going to be reading the Wiki and the forums to learn things.

What I am asking is that if I have questions, no matter how small they may appear, if there is someone who is willing to take me under their DF wing with a bit of patience.  I want to contribute to a game that I find fascinating, but I have read that to really learn this game is a daunting task.  If there is anyone who is willing to lend a digital hand, I will post questions periodically in this forum if I cannot find answers first on my own.

To any who is willing to take the time, I greatly thank you!
