Everybody who has tried .40 realized ,sooner or later, that goblin sieges are outright pathetic compared to .34. While it might appeal to some players, it isn't all that attractive to others (me included). There is simply no challenge in beating 10 poorly armed goblin recruits that show up, and moreover, there is even less epic battle stories/feats of dwarven courage to be had.

Hence, is there a mod, that SIMPLY restores goblin sieges to its former .34 glory? And by saying "simply" I mean it - no extra races, no orcs, no catmen civs, no gunpowder, no extra clutter, no beating around the bush. Just plain, ordinary, straight as straightforward, simple as C, goddamn siege mod!

Please tell me it does exist... Please...

My fort has a +5  legendary weaponsmith, ho has absolutely NO trouble churning out masterwork steel disc. However, when tasked with producing adamantine weapons he simply cannot make any more masterpieces. He forged masterwork admnt spear at first attempt, but when it comes to swords or axes Exceptional is the highest he can do.

I've spent about one hundred wafers so far, and not a single masterwork (excluding the spear). Can MW axes and swords be produced at all? Are they simply impossible to make?

I've recently ran a fort with 200 population, 87 of which were children. One moment in time I went to check dwarven inventories and noticed for the FIRST time, that nearly all children (not babies) have full set of clothing.

Now, the fort in question didn't have ANY fabric or cloth industry. All civilians wore leather armor sets. Where the heck did children get those xPig Tail Fiberx socks from, when all leftover clothes were dumped? Do they spawn their attire?

If yes, can we make children into farmable cloth supply? Nevermind.

One of the haulers in my fort decided to throw a tantrum (despite having felt only PLEASURE in the last season), and deconstructed the only bridge over a magma pit... in the moment there were 10 USEFUL dwarves on it.

An explosion of housand suns wouldn't display even a googlenumber fraction of my rage fun. Just to add insult to an injury, she went to attend a party straight after that.

At first, i wanted to throw her to the cyclops pit. On the second thought, it would end very quickly and mercifully for the sucker.

Therefore, I'm in dire need fof your help, fellow overseers. Advice or share the slowest, most painful, utterly humiliating way to dispose of the aforementioned piece of meat without it losing consciousness and being unable to feel it. The fort has a fully equipped dungeon, monster arenas, danger rooms with magma, caged cyclops/undeads/necromancer and wild boars being available creatures. Adamantine can be made available fairly quick too.

Remember, it must not lose consciousness during the lengthy process.

Responces are much appreciated, as they relieve my bleeding heart. Thankyou.

I present to you what might be the fruitiest dwarven dish I've ever seen: Applepacked, the biting of peaches.

Ingredients include apples, peaches, pears, sand pears and strangely, spinach. Entire stack costs a whooping 22792 dwarfbucks given its mundane ingredients (like Apple products IRL):

How did the chef manage to squeeze so much into bisquits, a food item comprising of only 2 ingredients? is it a bug? If so, how to recreate it?

It was well after 11:00 pm - another adventurer game in another hastily generated world. However, this time I decided to play in a way every one of us has played at least once - depopulate the world, scoring as many kills as possible. And so Cusith Letogulgut "Boatmurdered" has come! A human adventurer  opposed to all life and bent on mayhem!

By the time he was well in 250+ notable kills, my adventurer stumbled across a pyramid in the midst of nowhere. Without any hesitation, I picked the lock, hoping for some masterwork loot.

I usually don't bother reading the slabs near the entrance (ones that contain lame warnings to wannabe tomb raiders), but this time I read it for some reason.
What surprised me was that the slab was written in first person, unlike the ususal "Human McDeadguy is watching still". Instead, the slab read "Woe to you,that disturbs my resting place.I am watching still". I didn't consider it much.

However, what happened after was kinda strange. In one of the rooms, a strange glitch appeared. I tried to save the screenshot, but it wouldnt come on the image, so I had to photograph the screen:

It looked like an ASCII dwarf face, similar to the dwarf that you see getting killed in the intro movie. Curious, I went in the room with the "face" only to find it empty. It was stuffed with generous ammount of traps though.

When I went back to see the face again, it was no longer there. I searched the piramid, but all the rooms were empty.

Afterwards, the face appeared multiple times in human fortresses, towers, e.t.c. when using "L" look command and looking up. It wouldn't appear on screens however, so that photo is the only way to show it.

Did anyone else have this strange glitch?

The new multi-tile trees make my gaming machine weep!

I chose to embark in a desert. Thes site looked like a complete wasteland - there were 2 trees on the map, these were immideately cut down for timber.

2 years have since passed. On spring the 1st Granite 252 there was a signiicant slowdown. Looking at a map again:


The entire desert has turned into a Saguaro jungle overnight. Image above is but a portion of the map - there are countless trees on the other side as well. Naturally, framerate went down.

Now the harsh barren wasteland to be conquered has turned into sluggish elven retreat. I've tried cutting some trees down, though, with 30 FPS and 100 dwarves it is going to take forever.  Can DFhack help?
