DF General Discussion / Re: Dwarf Fortress 40_24 Starter Pack r8

Not that set. The copy in the raws. (aka the installed copy at dwarf fortress 0.40.24/raw)

I'm confused on how exactly to fix the issue. Do I need to place these graphic files in a new folder within the 0.40.24/raw?
Thanks

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Is it possible to run a 'meat farm'?
« on: November 08, 2012, 05:36:32 pm »
I used to always embark with dogs(for eating delicious puppies) all you need is 4 females and 1 male minimum for a steady food income, of course you will want to keep some females later for more income.  Puppies net 6 meat + bones + skin, so you shall have no shortage of bone bolts, leather.

Doesn't hurt to have animals that can be trained too, I stopped doing this a while ago because it makes it too easy to survive.

Every time you die should be a lesson learned, unless it's freak accident which doesn't happen often.
Here are some basic tips.

- Don't let the Demigod stats fool you into thinking you actually are godlike.
- "Walk" a bit out of any town and stealth around, not only will this level up ambushing but you will come across more wildlife(rabbits,birds etc) to practice your skills on.
- Armor is life in this game, most good armor for starters can be found in town fortresses.
- Use Aim Attack whenever possible to get a good advantage over your enemies (go for the legs to make them easy targets)
- DON'T RUN INTO A FIGHT UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN WIN. (Just because you have a steel sword/shield doesn't mean that black bear wont rip your arms off)

And that is my best attempt at teaching dorf survival basics, trust me there is so much more to know but it comes naturally with dying ALOT!

Good luck

No matter how ridiculous some action may sound in DF, I can always picture it and it's also what I enjoy the most.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: The Generic 'how does i tap volcano' Question
« on: March 18, 2012, 04:11:27 am »
I did this recently myself for the first time and found it to be way easier than I thought. To avoid needless loss of good miners I took a fresh migrant and gave him a pick dug a room near the volcano and channeled out a 1 tile wide trench from under the lip directly into the room, tapped into the lip itself and watched the lava river itself into my little room which I walled up and connected to my base.

Throw him into the HFS, let the clowns deal with that shit. Could be the greatest weapon to come forth from the homelands.

Migrants aren't picky tho, at least not in my book. I'd of just shoved them in a dorm with 5 beds and put them on farming duty, they should be too busy working to be concerned with fine dining.

DF Modding / Re: Infinite Adventurer Ammo?
« on: March 09, 2012, 03:48:43 pm »
So the price of having unlimited bone ammo is having the bone come from your forearm that will regenerate instantly but hurt like fuck everytime.

Sounds nifty, reminds me of the Epirus bow from Immortals.

1: It doesn't look like any version of deon's genesis mod that I played.

2: Why does the male get the only attack


1: It's not.
2: Males 'Penetrate' and Females 'Mount'.

Edit: Little thing i just realized that im sure the veterans do but i hadnt realized for some reason: when its raining you can lick the water off of your body rather than emptying your waterskins! so if its pouring take a little bit of time to make sure you quench your thirst :)

One thing I picked up on is when you slash an opponent and get some blood flowing you actually have the "Drink blood from here .." option in the eat menu.

I find it somewhat grim picturing my adventurer drinking from an enemy's fresh blood spraying fountain wound.

Never be afraid to die in this game.

Experience comes with death as well and you will learn to avoid/do certain things in your next adventure.

My partner?  She thinks this game is more and more hilarious when i talk about it.  One day we compared rude fortress etc names lol.

Ya, he tried to play once and didn't worry about security at his entrance since he was too busy making every dwarf room have a table and chair and statue.   ::)

Then the wolves came. He got all pissy cause he hates losing.   I tried to mention DF's motto but he got snappy hehe.   8)

Patience, persistence and yes losing is fun as fuck.

My embark group is named "The Tight Dikes"

I know there is a spelling difference but it sounds the same when I told my partner.

She thinks less and less of this game every time I talk about it, haha.
