Thanks! I wonder what retire/reclaim fixes.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Debugging tips for crashing saves?
« on: November 12, 2018, 01:06:18 pm »
I have a bugged save here http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14079 that crashes after 2 minutes. I added it in a comment on http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=10880.

Are there any standard debugging tips to try to work around crashes? I saw somewhere someone suggested forbidding everything; I tried that, crash still occurred.

Are there other things to try? Is there a general list of debugging steps somewhere?

Thanks!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Outsider seeking to take an artifact?

Ah, fascinating. I said yes this time, but next time maybe I'll say no just to see what !!fun!! happens. Also maybe I should station some guards in my museum.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Outsider seeking to take an artifact?
« on: October 14, 2018, 01:14:34 pm »
This is new to me. My seach-fu is weak and I can't find anything about this mechanism on the wiki.

A visiting marksdwarf is asking to take one of my artifacts (I presume?) to fulfill his quest.

What are the upsides and downsids here? I know giving away an artifact will make the creator unhappy, but I'm actually not sure which artifact this is or who it belongs to.

This is amazing. Thank you.

Alrighty, then. Time to make some elves angry.

DF Gameplay Questions / Do trees block vision?
« on: December 10, 2017, 10:08:38 am »
I was just about to build up a little pillbox tower for my marksdwarves to keep a lookout from. The biome I'm in is heavily forested, though, so I'm wondering now if trees will block their vision/range? I mean a lot of the trees will eventually come down, but I'm curious if I need to start cutting now.

I've compiled and uploaded a build of 39.0.0 for macOS to DFFD: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13265

Do I want QT 4.8 or QT 5.6?
Safest is 4.8 unfortunately due to a bug in 5.1.1 and higher that breaks the filtering (5.4.2 is ok).

Just saw this - I built against 5.6, since I already had that installed.

I've built an unofficial DwarfTherapist v.37.0 for OS X with support for DF 43.03. You can get it here

EDIT: I should have refreshed the page first.
[OSX] Dwarf Therapist 36.0
I'm seeing a repeat of the Labor cannot be changed for non-citizens issue I saw. Is this build working for anyone else?

Anyway, vampires don't have children I'm pretty sure, so they were either made a vampire afterwards, or aren't a vampire.
Oh yeah? The wiki on vampire identification says:
Quote
They have abnormally long lists of relations and often many, many children, but none of them are present in the fortress (in stark contrast to the spouses, children and siblings whom most dwarves will share their home with).

Also:
Also forces don't just "sometimes" happen. Forces are what elves worship, and only elves, so that goblin was probably born in an elf civilization.
Just to be clear: it was an elf worshipping the force; the (possible) goblin vampire is a separate entity.

Goblins are immortal so while rare this isn't impossible and doesn't necessarily mean it's a vampire. Wall them in somewhere and see if they get hungry/thirsty before atom smashing them.

Huh - well, no one else's relationships list pointed to likely vampire. He's sitting in jail for the moment.

How long is your world's history :P

I generated a world with 1050 years of history, for kicks. Took most of a day...

14
Ah, interesting!

Thanks.

By the way, found the vampire: goblin performer with 17 kids and has the appearance of someone a thousand years old...

Guess I should have been suspicious that he was a master metalcrafter, too.

DF Gameplay Questions / What does "Force" mean in the relationships list?
« on: January 24, 2016, 09:27:52 pm »
I have a vampire, so I'm going through everyone looking for suspiciously long relationship lists, and came across an elf poet with "Olova Amethaceca" listed as "Force":



Anyone know what this means? I haven't come across it before.
