DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Face Palm moments you had
« on: June 23, 2009, 05:18:37 pm »
Just went to mark all my puppies for slaughter, and accidently made them all available for adoption. Didn't notice until after I watched my butcher stand motionless in his room for half a minute... gaah.

You could designate the moat and a few tiles around it as restricted, and just keep your squads well away from it.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Emptying cages
« on: June 18, 2009, 07:25:35 pm »
Using q over one of my full cages does nothing. I built a lever next to it, but when I attempt to link it I am told 'there is nothing that can be linked up'.

DF Gameplay Questions / Emptying cages
« on: June 18, 2009, 07:00:37 pm »
I have a wee goblin locked up in a cage, and I've managed to strip him nude. Now I want to oil him up and let my wrestlers get some practice, but I can't figure out how to get him out of the cage. I've looked all over the wiki and tried a bunch of commands, but nothing seems to do it.

DF General Discussion / Re: Future of the fort: Help test the output code for the next version of DF (40d11)

Went from 20-30FPS to 100FPS - haven't tinkered with any settings, as my technical knowhow is little to none, just downloaded and ran it. I never knew dwarves could move this fast :O

EDIT: Also, my touchpad cursor now works. It used to disappear while hovering over the DF window. Don't know how you did that, but thanks again, ha.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Laptop+DF=BAD?

I found it impossible to play on my laptop as well, but a bit of tinkering around on the keybindings page will make it usable.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Animals! (moo)

Hm. If I had three males and a female could they triple-impregnate her or does it not work like that?

Also, this is unrelated but not worth a thread: when I pay 30 points for a steel bolt on the embark screen, is that for a single bolt or do I get a stack?

Also, if I lock dwarves in a room like this, will I get an endless stream of cancelled jobs, or will the dwarves know not to attempt to undertake tasks outside of their tower?
Just turn off all of their labors except for lever-pulling.

DF Gameplay Questions / Animals! (moo)
« on: June 16, 2009, 01:32:40 pm »
I'm going to take some time to investigate the meatier side of Dwarf Fortress, and for this I will require many, many corpses. What would be a good number of animals to keep locked up to generate a steady stream of babies? And do all animals breed at the same rate?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Dwarves not dumping items?
« on: June 14, 2009, 04:56:07 pm »
I have the same problem all the time. I make sure a patch of stone is claimed and set for dumping, and my million idle refuse-haulers mill around like there's no work to be done. My stupid dwarves all trapped themselves building my walls, and now that I've freed them I can't reconstruct a bunch of wall segments because they refuse to haul away the stone left behind from the last wall... sigh.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Best place names
« on: June 13, 2009, 09:49:53 pm »
My current fortress is Anvilnotches, inhabited by the Construct of War, who are citizens of the Halls of Ash. My best randoms yet, and my best fortress yet (not that that's saying a lot).

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Complete Newby Play-along Tutorials... are complete!
« on: June 08, 2009, 02:36:27 am »
Yeah, I can't download the world that is suggested in the first tutorial page. I tried just using it in a regular one but it didn't make much sense...
