DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Quickest death in one of your fortresses? (or quickest collapse)
« on: December 04, 2023, 10:16:04 am »
When I was new I dug straight down after making a couple of rooms for dwarves and a tavern. I wanted to find minerals. I breached a giant cavern at some depth. A flying forgotten beast came and slaughtered everyone it saw.  :(

1. If you pump sea water from a pump then at the output of the pump you get fresh water.
2. Digging into aquifer gives you fresh water.
3. Digging into carvers gives you a place to obtain fresh water.

Rest all is up to you.. this filtering and all doesn't matter much. One small pump oughta do it.  :) ;)

Dwarf Fortress Trees Changing with Seasons Compilation
I made this for the community especially when most migrated to premium so this seems like something undocumented so I just took gifs of the seasons and made a small compilation of like 3:30 min with Simon Swerwer Sound track - Kuggan's Cove.
I hope you like it !

Your design works even after 10 years, a blessing in disguise.
Thank you for your service

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Caged Goblin City
« on: April 05, 2023, 04:51:28 am »
I tried :
dropping them in a small pit but they just went mad, I tried giving them items from above, didnt work
I tied them to ropes, it didn't work, they became free and caused fun.
I tried to make a labyrinth but it failed.
Used like drops in magma but moving them from far away point to distant point makes them go mad and cause problems. I put furniture in their caged rooms but they cause problems there as well...
Eventually for the next project video I just gave up the concept and moved on to make magma pistons and all... Sorry for late response.

If they're invaders, they don't have needs and won't ever do anything other than wander around looking for stuff to kill.

You're better off waiting for goblin performers as tavern visitors, which can petition to join your fort.

I see, thanks man!

If you have DFHack (stable in v0.47, prerelease in v0.50) there is a command "tweak makeown" that makes the goblins members of your fortress.  I do not know if they will stop the "invader" mindset though, and they probably won't take labours.  To be on the safe side, make a full backup of your savefile before using DFHack.

I will try this! let's see how it goes!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Caged Goblin City
« on: March 01, 2023, 06:17:32 am »
Good day, I am Sniper231996, pleasure to meet you  :),

Today I have a certain specific topic to discuss with you all... the utilization of caged goblins. Now I have caged like 50 to 60 including a city leader and all and all, every year they come, they never go back. I just "stripcaged all" and then make the goblin cage in a corner, I gave rooms to my nobles, it has been working nicely. Now I know how ya'll treat em, like for instance," magma melter, flood room, area, gladiator theatre, forgotten beastie bait, FB silk farms ( manual / auto ), dungeons, strip tavern dancers, dwarven time bomb, et cetera.
Now if I know this, why am I posting this? Because, me being a kind individual, read upon the notes of older adventurers who ventured deep even into goblin cities and took screenshots of their simple homes, I feel bad to kill them or keep them permanently caged and sort of like a mega project, have them live in peace in a corner in my fortress. I lack the experience to make a trapped/caged/area wise confined goblin happy. You all gentlemen being professional, perhaps, someone might've been successful at letting a few goblins live in an artifically created corner of your fortress so that they live there itself and have their bare necessities fulfilled somehow?

TL:DR - I have caged goblins, I want to have them live free in a large confined part of my fortress inside the caverns.
Basically making a naked goblin city deep underground.

what do you think? is it at all possible? anyone ever did this before? is it possible to at least have them drink some good alcohol, have good food, wander around, eventually be a part of the fort itself? thank you for your time. This is my first post here.  :)

I do not intend to promote my content and all, if posting video links is considered wrong or rude, just let me know once and I won't post links, will type the entire story. Thank you.

I don't know what the general sentiment is there, but personally, I never click on external links, so your video remains a mystery with no associated explanation.

I made a fortress in the second cavern layer walls, I sequentially sealed off the entry points into the caverns. It was all covered on all 4 sides but there was one spot which was 1 block less from the boundary. Like:
C+++++C
CCCCCCC

well I opened up the lower wall and there was a lot waiting for me to open it, instantly big FUN. The video is the footage captured when opening the wall. That's all there is to it. 5 managed to survive the incident. Rest all died, a fire breathing worm FB came in as well charring everything in its path.

Well, I don't mean to spam it but yes, I was walling off the Cavern entry points and wanted to make a perfect square and this happened:

Switch to ASCII Mode then, it will show you the stuff until you find a way to dump the contents of jugs and minecarts
