Do dwarves even understand the concept of the period of day called twilight? Do they understand night time? It's permanent day in DF so far as we know.

Which is obviously done for gameplay purposes. Toady could bring in nighttime, but at the rate the game goes it would be lightdarklightdarklightdark. Which would be annoying.

Well, even if they understand night and day, they aren't familiar with discoballs or vampires, which twilight combines into one being. Nor are they familiar with the concept of 'Mary and Gary Stu'

"This is the skin of a killer Bella!.......... A killer on the dance floor! Someone get me my sequined shirt.... Oh wait, nevermind!!"

OK, so I've got two questions, first off if I reclaim a site will it always be in the exact same location as the original 7 dwarves caravan started in? The reason I ask this is because somehow they have started out in the middle of a brook between two very steep cliffs, caravan and all just sitting on top of the 7/7 water.

Secondly I went to reclaim the site hoping for a different starting area and selected a embark options that I had just used for my original 7 (as I'd saved them) it gives me a warning about a certain meat I had selected no longer being available? Ok I think, I'll just hit e and embark without that meat right? WRONG! What I end up with is 21 hammer dwarves, 21 sword dwarves and 21 axe dwarves.... wth happened?

I'm curious after looking through the RAW's as to wether or not buildings, and their productions are hardcoded? The reason I ask is that I'm looking at making another race, or atleast adapting one of the current races to be playable and want them to be able to produce bows at the bowyer, rather than xbows, and various other little bits like that.

I also presume skills are hardcoded, so my bow using race would need to have it tacked onto the xbow skill? How would that effect the weapon screen in military, does ordering them to take an xbow translate to them taking a bow and must the same be done for any changes like that (adding glaives as well as spears etc)?

Thanks for any help

Lol, the joke is "i accidentally my whole fortress. what should i do?

4chan has slowly been losing its fantastic humour over the last 4-5 years

Aye, sorry about the triple post haha, totally forgot about the edit button (I so rarely use forums), and I considered that It may have been an issue with the other search options I had, but attempting both pipes/pools with no other parameters found no solutions as well.

I'm going to try upping the varriance, and may also take a look at setting them all to ALWAYS. In any case, thanks for the assistance

Hmmm, 5th world I've generated, and still no magma detection, gawd I dunno whats going wrong

I've had three maps where the finder has entirely failed to find any Magma Pipes or Magma Pools, I just produced a map with at least 15 visible volcanoes and still it has failed to find anywhere with magma. So basically I'm presuming its bugged for finding magma, anyone else come across the same issue?
