DF Modding / Invincible dwarves
« on: April 26, 2009, 12:54:12 am »
If I want my miners to be able to survive 7+ z-level falls or massive amounts of rock collapsing onto them, what would I do? Raise the damblock, or is there some other tag I can add?

Nope. I know there are dwarven civs around me but nothing has come to my site yet.

DF Gameplay Questions / Your fortress attracted no migrants this year
« on: April 26, 2009, 12:47:09 am »
What the hell? My wealth is 141,000 and I didn't get any migrants?

I have only a temporary above ground workshop cluster, but if my wealth is through the roof then why the hell don't I have migrants?

Do I need a dining room or something? I only have a few beds, a wall, trade depot, and workshops. Is there some specific building I need?

DF Modding / Flying dwarves
« on: April 26, 2009, 12:21:26 am »
So I want to dig out a big multiple z-level cavern quickly and I finally decided that making my dwarves able to fly would make them able to mine out everything without getting stuck from channel holes etc.

I put the flier tag on them, but they still get stuck behind walls and in holes. Is there some other tag I can give them that lets them jump over stuff, fly better, or anything? Thanks.

Vermin hunter makes them adopt dwarves? That's odd... If I remove it will they all become unadopted?

I'm sure they're adopted. I can't cage them and it says "owned by Urist McDwarfydwarf" or whatever in the animal menu and they all have names.

Are they only being adopted by dwarves that "love dogs for their faithfulness" in their profile descriptions?
I'm not sure, I'll check. But there's like eight dwarves that have adopted them at least.

So why are my dogs being adopted?

They are war dogs that I embarked with. I have modded cats and stuff to not be pets because I hate immigrant bringing useless animals. Would any of this make them adoptable?

I have 20 war dogs or so, and before I could assign then to a cage or chain, they were all adopted by my stupid dwarves.

How can I either forbid this from happening in the future (a raw tag or something?) or unadopt my war dogs?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Blueprints/shadows of z-levels
« on: April 25, 2009, 03:01:48 am »
No, I don't need reference points. I'm making a cavern spanning multiple Z levels, with large pillars in certain spots. I need a way to see where I have designated stuff to be dug out on the z levels below the top one.

I have finished designating the top z level but I have to switch back and forth between the two z levels to see where everything is, because I'm designing it in a way that needs each Z level to be specifically linked together.


The problem is that things are not in square shapes or anything geometric and patterned, I'm designing the cavern to look organic (lots of jagged edges on walls, round shapes, etc) so I can't just have a grid and work with that.

Well, if there is currently no way to have an overlying ghost of another z-level, I hereby recommend this feature for a future utility. Hopefully someone will make one, it would be most useful.

Well I switched my controls, and that helps, but I'd still love some sort of faint image overlay, or even a way to copy designations from one level and paste them on another, then I could just modify the designations.

It would be so handy.

DF Gameplay Questions / Blueprints/shadows of z-levels
« on: April 24, 2009, 08:00:51 pm »
I'm trying to dig out a MASSIVE cavern in an organic/cave looking way, and I've run into a problem.

I've designated the top Z-level for upward-ramping exactly how I want, but now when I go the level below I can't tell where everything is, and so I have to go back and forth non-stop to check if stuff is lined up. I'm not making rectangular shapes so I can't just use shift+arrow or anything.

I was wondering if there was any program or way to have a faint image of the above/below z-levels projected onto my current z-level, so I could easily compare and make designations accordingly.

Please help me.

Your dwarves CAN fish through grates, though.

If you have lots of carp in your river, I recommend a big grated area for your fishermen.
