DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: The benefits or not of wearing double armor
« on: May 12, 2007, 10:25:00 am »
I assume it needed to be large so that it can be easily grasped and "unzipped" while wearing armored gloves

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Shouldn't You be Able to Bridge Channels?
« on: September 22, 2006, 05:04:00 pm »
As is the fashion, I built a moat around my fortesses entrance. However, I'm unnable to build a bridge over the channel. I didn't have this problem with my previous fortress.

Here's a screenshot. I thought the problem might have been that my moat needed water before it could be bridged, so I temperarily made it a pond. It made no difference.

Because before the Dungeon Master shows up you can't make any.

As a name for that kitten I suggest "Spasm."

To see bin contents, hit the K key, highlight the bin, and hit enter.

Works for all containters except Armor and Weapon storage. Hit the T key to view the contents of those.

You can set pressure plates to be "temperary." I think that would have the bridge reset afterwards.

you reckon i should slap a trap in all the gaps?</STRONG>

That would probably be smart, although I would use rock traps instead of cage traps, as you're cages can all fill up, but you'll always have spare rocks. Weapon traps are nice too, but potentially costly if you don't have a large armament.

It looks absolutely normal to me. The ground is white because of snow, and your river is frozen. This isn't unexpected if you started in spring, however.

I just did the same thing not an hour ago. I can't wait until cave-river freezing is implemented, or channel filling. Either one would have saved that fortress.  :(

I did backup my save folder! I'll reinstall DF somewhere else, and see if that helps.

DF Gameplay Questions / Updated DF, Now Saved Game Won't Load
« on: September 04, 2006, 09:10:00 pm »
I recently installed Dwarf Fortress 0.21.104.19d over Dwarf Fortress 0.21.102.19a.

Now, my fortress will still successfully load, but as soon as I hit a key, the game freezes.

Is there any way to recover my fortress, or atleast my region?

This game has otherwise been awesome, and has been eating all my time recently. Thanks for all the work that's you've already put into this.  :)

Well um... you could set up a custom stockpile for clothes near the magma.</STRONG>

That won't work since the clothes are still owned by someone.

I have this same problem in my own fort.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: So, how do I farm in the new version?

How do you connect a flood gate to a river now? Since I assume they both have to be on the same Z plane, whats to keep the dwarf building it from being washed away?

Some did have the eat task. None were on a chain, they were actually wandering around the jail. None had moods until they went nuts from starvation.

After they went crazy, they had no problems leaving the jail and walking around.
