DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Grayed items in trading
« on: June 09, 2011, 04:18:20 am »
Why do some items appear grayed out in the trading windows ?

I know that elves do not want things made out of wood, but last night I was trading with humans (I think) and they didn't want half the crafts (robes) I had to offer...

Does each trading party have an item type that they do not want ?

Caverns is just like the outside world - even if you explore all of it you can never be sure that some monster doesn't wander in and start causing trouble.

Even is they aren't open at one side of the screen ?

Should I put a lock door at the entrance, then ?

I've stumbled upon a big cave... I walled it for the moment, will go exploring later, with a squad. How can I make sure that there are no monsters anymore in there ? Should I see them ?

Forbidding people to socialize feels "wrong"/"mean", though. ^^;

But if you had a bedrooms zone that makes every room with a bed in it a bedroom that would be much quicker. Especially if you could assign that zone like a burrow with multiple z-levels and so on.
This is what I want. :)

I took my previous savegame and built a legendary dining room/meeting hall. Thanks for the suggestion :)

I don't think the Great Toadish One In The Sky has time to program random crashes for one person.

Making the game easier would be incredibly bad.
They should add random crashes for you.

So I guess my suggestions are
  • lower the impact of a friend's death on happiness, or have the number of friends counter the sadness. (in most games socializing is a good thing)
  • implement a way to raise happiness : throw a party, order everybody to drink beer, etc.

My beautiful fortress seems to be in a spiral towards fun : some dwarves died, their friends went berserk and were taken out by the military, and now their friends are too throwing tantrums !

Is the game maybe a little too harsh on dwarves that have a friend die ? It punishes you for letting them have friends/family... A dwarf with many friends should be consoled, not throw more tantrums !

I wasn't even thinking about workshop zones :)

With bedroom as zones, a nice feature would be to be able to see which dwarves do not have a bedroom assigned yet.

It could work exactly like pastures.

You're right, the hospital is a little more complicated than a bedroom.

Why is it that, to make a hospital, I have to define a zone, but not to define a bedroom ? What's so different about the two rooms ?

Should all rooms be set by zones ?

Hi, my beautiful fortress seems to be in a spiral towards fun : some dwarves died, their friends went berserk and were taken out by the military, and now their friends are too throwing tantrums !

Is there a way to raise happiness ? Throw a party, give free beers ? :)
