You could always just watch the Californian border in San Diego.

New Question: Damp stone is messing up my building structure that I was going to follow.
Is there any way to change that? Like... Reinforce the walls or something with magic so the place doesn't get flooded and stuff? -.-;;

Yeah, that made sense, but... I was just reading it wrong, sorry about that.
Anyway, I changed all the init settings, but it's still a huge window... >_>... ... (It did get smaller a bit though!)

No no, I mean, I want the WINDOW that it's being played in, to be about 2 times the size of this reply box. Not the grid 
How do I change the window size itself?

DF Modding / Changing the size of the screen?
« on: February 25, 2009, 04:54:00 pm »
Alright, well, I dunno where else to put this, but I downloaded Mike Maydays tileset version of the game, and the windowed version is HUGE.
(Might as well set it as full screen, eh?)
SO I was curious how to make it into a smaller window.

Yessir, I did so.
We'll see in a bit, but anyways...
What does a red down arrow mean on my recruits?
Also:
Is there a way to cancel all actions and make them all go into one area?

Why are my dwarven recruits that I set as spearmen becoming wrestlers?
What's with the little pluses on each of my dwarves? Gray backgrounds with different colored pluses that keep flashing all the time?

I was really looking forward to the fact that traders were coming this season, but... They came... Made a trade agreement, and left. They didn't even trade anything. What the hell?

Ah, ok, that makes sense, thank you.
So how do I make them pick up the items of the dead *after* all of the people have died? There are a bunch of goblin corpses and I don't know how to take the items.

This is ridiculous. Every time there's an ambush, my dwarves all run out of the fortress, what's with that?

In terms of the chains... The chains take up spaces... So setting up so many in a pit is kind of pointless... When they breed they'll just have more and more to deal with till I have 150 chains. I'm talking about space, and the issue of them getting out of the door thing.
And with the "what I'm talking about" part... I'm trying to ask if restricting a HUGE area of the map is going to hinder my dwarves in any way in terms of expansion, growth, skills, etc.
I checked the wiki about cloth. But it's not saying anything about other kinds of cloth... Pig tail cloth is plant, but what about cave spider cloth or what not?... It's not saying anything about that kind in any of the workshops...
In response to number 9: I'm assuming red means that it's not meant to be used in cooking in that menu?
I can't make more iron if I don't have charcoal. I have no charcoal deposits, and to make more charcoal I need... Wood. So metal barrels are even harder -.- Considering they take 3 pieces of metal to make one barrel -.-;;;

1. How do I dig the reservoir?
2. I made a pit for all the animals... Including cats and dogs... But I don't get how to make it so that they don't get out of the pit every time I make them go into it and need to get one out to slaughter -.-;; How do I make it so they don't get out? (Zchris13's solution didn't help)
3. Do I need to constantly build more wooden bolts so my guy can train? (If I have a channel behind it?)
4. Does designating a large area of land from the dwarves cause any harm? As in... Will it hinder me at all?
5. Half of my dwarves are going berserk/throwing temper tantrums, what do I do about that? The one's that are doing it have food, water, nice rooms, etc... Yet they still have troubles? Why?
6. What's the point of an office? Can I just make it in his room along with his bed? Or what?
7. I have a crap load of cloth, but I can only make stuff out of silk and plant fiber at the clothier's shop, what's up with that?
8. My planters are planting like crazy, but I need more barrels, but I have no wood, and caravans don't come fast enough... What should I do? I need booze xD
9. What should I do with all my extra plants? How do I designate the spawns as "not cookable"? Red or blue = not cookable?
10. I've got a bunch of dwarves dying of thirst now, which is ridiculous... Cause I have booze a plenty... So what the helk are they doing? Seriously... Is there any way to fix this issue? =\

« on: February 18, 2009, 10:21:53 pm »I just realized how to do it, and it won't make you lag any more than you where!!
Chain the animals to the ground, or assign them to cages! A little bit of tinkering with the uild, [j]cage (jcage? wtf?), then "q" the built cage, you can assign animals to cages. If you deassign them, also how you remove them from said cage. Build a restraint, and you can chain them in place. Also allows them to breed. They don't even need to be near each other.
Ah, but the cages can make it so you have more than one animal in there at a time, restraints you can only have one animal there at a time, and they can't breed.
I want them to be able to breed, and not go through the door at the same time *And* not take up space =\ Having one animal to each chain makes it so I gotta make a LOT of them :O
