The gnome picks don't function as picks in fortress mode unless you change their skill to mining.

Hey scourge728, is this going to get an update after the ridable horses update?

The wiki page describing the tunnels says fast travel is possible from the tunnel system but I can't get it to happen; all I get is the standard 9-tile underground map in the Travel menu. Things to note: 1. My character seemed to "forget" exploring areas of the map; some spots seemed to revert to unexplored territory. 2. The fort was sparsely populated and most dwarves encountered had military professions.

Ah that's how underground Fast travel works.

I've checked that possibility using legends mode and noted the result in my other comment.

I've found another 7-tile tunnel system and followed it to a dead end; it seems all surface connections connected to the 7-tile hallways have been deleted in all fortresses. I've archived a save in case anyone wants to debug the world. I'm currently playing the world using Peridexiserrant's starter pack.


Side note: the tunnel systems really need cistern and well rest stops to keep travelers alive.

I don't have a save from before the disappearance, but I still have a copy of the world. I savescummed then asked the warrior dwarves to join me as entertainers after performing near them; this prevented their disappearance and the conversion of the fort icon, but the stairs are still gone. They're currently moving with my character through the cave system to a nearby fort. Before the stairs disappeared the option to retire was replaced with "Give in to starvation". The world was created with mostly-default world settings and a modmod of Black Powder Firearms mod. Legends viewer doesn't mention any site abandonments related to the mountain hall Warmthgirder.

DF 44.12: I didn't think the sudden disappearance of one of the fort stairwells was anything to worry about, but wow was I wrong. Upon returning from a hunt in a nearby cavern, I discovered my starting fortress and its inhabitants had disappeared with all surface connections, leaving only the seven-tile wide tunnel system and an abandoned settlement marker where the fortress once stood. How can I deal with this situation? Should I give up or try wandering through the cavern system to a nearby fort?

Context: Started a new game in adventure mode as a human crossbowman living in a procedurally generated dwarf fort placed in a mountain range. The stairs disappeared first, then the two dwarven soldiers posted in the tunnels disappeared after moving away from them.

The darker colors tend to blend with the background. Is there any way to increase text contrast in your total conversion?

Believe nothing you hear. Or everything. Have fun. Love when?

I frequently use PMs to contact people if I think they would miss a post in the deluge.

Thank you both. My lack of friends is mostly my own damn fault due to unrealistic expectations and my temperament, so it should be fixable.

Here's a list:

My habitual avoidance of ad-driven snoopy websites kept me from having a good conversation with Yoink about some music on YouTube he liked, which led to a long period of not talking to anyone here because reasons.

I have emotional depression caused by things below. Maybe have S.A.D. as well.

I have been living in the middle of nowhere for several years after moving away from my old neighborhood. This was caused by drama between my mom and some possibly crooked real estate developers who may have tried to increase business by stirring up bigotry. Thankfully my mom was able to organize the neighborhood against the bigotry. We moved because my parents had some land elsewhere and my mom didn't want us involved in heavy politics. Our new neighborhood has been kinda hostile to us, and us to it, so we have been kinda isolated.

I haven't been able to make friends.

Few people initiate friendly conversations with me anywhere.

I have no girlfriend and never had a sex life.

My grandmother died. She may have been poisoned, based on the symptoms she had. No autopsy has been done.

My dad has a weird abusive love-hate relationship with my mom and he favors right-wing talking heads. When I posted asking for help earlier in the year, I was unable to ask anyone else due to phone service at our house being disabled by our phone company for reasons I cannot confirm with certainty. Mom was his second choice; She had been subjected to rejection for her entire post-childhood life before meeting him, so she was vulnerable. She might have been dad's beard without knowing it. I dunno. She might leave him in three years.

I reported the conversation between DJ and shub-nullgurath, and possibly caused the reinforcement of their beliefs. I hope they weren't part of a group willing to lynch immigrants coming into Europe.

Finding a place to be happy has been difficult.

I cannot manufacture flying saucers and set up a homestead on a habitable planet within my lifetime. My grandfather can't either.

Bye. I'm going to ask Toady One to disable my account. Thank you for talking with me.

So long as we're discussing impossible solutions, why not just take away everyone's guns?
Even the armies' guns?
