It's not really impossible to build, you can still navigate the menus with +/-. It can certainly be inconvenient, but not quite game-breaking, when workshop build shortcuts overlap like that.

Yes, that works too. I learned/noticed that a couple days after fixing the overlap. it's been way too long since I last played DF, I forgot all the little details, this one among them.

Oh and on an unrelated note; I just learned that the game crashes (2 times out of 2 tries) when I order stray war mountain tuskox bulls to be slaughtered. Anybody got any ideas why that happens?

I am still clueless after comparing the raws for this one with the animals that I had no problems slaughtering.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: May 20, 2015, 05:00:14 pm »
I decided to start a fort again, after not having played DF in a year or more, embarked near a volcano ... and I'm currently watching my whole map/dense forest burn down due to one fireman, who appears to have burned one of the dwarves from the first migration wave to death. That dwarf went missing, so I have no idea about the extend of his injuries. Most of the combat log mentions countless bruising.
Are burn wounds not mentioned in the first place?

Rather annoying to see the message that "something collapsed" so often. The game pauses every couple seconds to show another tree falling down. <.<

okay Nanimonai I took a gander at the keybind files in keybinds folder, and I see your confusion, it seams that to change that and their might be a better way than what I am about to tell you but it is a way. open up your building_dwarf_civ.txt in your raw folder for both your save and in your df raw folder and find stonecrafters ctrl+f if you need to and change [BUILD_KEY:CUSTOM_SHIFT_S] (should be about the 5th token down) to say [BUILD_KEY:CUSTOM_SHIFT_Z] or [BUILD_KEY:CUSTOM_ALT_Q]  just make sure that you keep it all caps and that nothing in the general tab of the keybind.txt is taking it already like you know [BUILD_KEY:CUSTOM_CTRL_S] at best would order it to be built while bringing up the macro save screen, of course you can change the macro save hotkey to something else if you want to use ctrl+s. also if you want to chnge the actual hotkeys in the workshop menus you do that in reaction_dwarf_civ.txt located in the raws folders.

also you might want to download notepad++ from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ and the language file from http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130510.0 and install it per the directions on their pages, it will help keep sane.

Ah, that notepad language file is indeed quite nice. What you described worked, I changed the stonecrafter's workshop to Shift+C now ... and I feel rather silly, of course the stonecrafter was impossible to build, since the soapmaker had the same hotkey. >.<

I can't believe I missed that.

Nanimonai this link should help you with changing your keybinds http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Interface.txt and the reason why you are having trouble with ctrl-s is that it is bound to the macro save function in the general category of the key bind menu.

Thanks for the pointer, though now that I took a closer look both at the Dwarf Fortress keybinds and then realising I should actually look in the Masterwork folder, I'm still somewhat clueless.

I managed to find the workshops in keybindy_vanilla.txt, but most of that looks similar to the vanilla interface.txt file and I fail to find the new workshops in that text file.

Also looking for SYM:1:S yields no results at all, so I'm a bit confused how it shows that ingame for the Stonecrafter's workshop in the first place.

I recently returned to DF and Masterwork and ran into a minor problem just now: I was trying to build the Stonecrafter's Workshop, but Shift+S seems to be allocated to the soap maker. After trying some more combinations with s I came to the realisation that I can make the soap maker workshop(Shift+S) and the siegeweapon workshop(s) and the scriptorium(Alt+s), but not the stonecrafter's workshop. Am I missing something here? (Ctrl+s opens something different altogether, not quite sure what that's for,  but it opens a textprompt from the looks of it)

Hello there,

another lurker has heard the sirens' call of this succession fort and got convinced to finally create an account here to post that i really like what i see ... and so far what i've seen is the whole thread that is Battlefailed. At the moment i'm a fifth into reading about Battlefailed and also trying a save i found here in this very thread.

Also i'd like to ask if there is any dorf without a proper name, so that he/she shall be named. If so, i'd like to see the name Nani on whatever dwarf is free, preferably with experience in wrestling and dodge. Or if that's not available, put that name to whatever dwarf comes along.
My final request would be a place in the player list for this fort. Would be my first succession fort, but that will just add to the !!¤Fun¤!!.
