Except folk is a collective noun, so the singular would refer to a single collective rather than an individual member of a collective. (Which now that I think of it, is also technically true of -kind.)

But I've just realized that plurality doesn't matter, since the only thing that would change is the [CREATURE:<some animal>_MAN] tag in the raws, which is defining the collective within which individuals are generated.

The install directory is

Code: [Select]

/usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/gamedata
I installed dfhack version

Code: [Select]

dfhack-0.47.05-r5-Linux-64bit-gcc-7.tar.bz2

You can't install DFHack directly onto the Debian DF packages - those packages change the locations of DF's files in ways that DFHack can't find them.

If you want to use DFHack on Debian, you either need to do a manual install of DF in your home and install/run DFHack on that, or find or create a DFHack deb package that somehow accounts for where the DF deb package put the DF files. For example, the experimental DF deb package puts the missing file in /usr/lib/games/dwarf-fortress/libs/Dwarf_Fortress, and that /usr/games/dwarf-fortress is probably a script that creates a folder in your home that mimics the default DF folder layout so that DF can find it's files.

Edit: Or use the LinuxDwarfPack release deb package instead - though that's a bit behind, you can find more recent versions here.

Hav you tried other PRINT_MODEs?

Better solution: Just leave what it is in the name - Rice Still and Rice SP.

There's a DFHack for that, deep-embark - if the surface is that bad, it makes sense that they would travel through the caverns. (You wouldn't hav to use DFHack all the time, just until after a successful cavern embark.)

Herbivores can graze in the caverns, though that is a bit more area to defend - and you'll get two with the wagon anyway, though you could just slaughter them after maybe milking them.

Turkeys don't need plants to graze, give lots of eggs, and grow to full size in 2 years - similarly peafowl grow to max in 1 year but produce fewer eggs.

6 picks and 1 axe (or 5&2) so everyone can hav a weapon to start, and faster digging of a defensible position.

The main problem that inspired the suggestion was that of using dumping to clear a large area of stones/gems/ore before smoothing.  While I could use a QSP (and assign wheelbarrows to it), there is no way to tell the QSP to get it’s items from the area I want cleared (and, therefore, no way to ensure that the area will be cleared at all).  With dumping I don’t have any of these problems.

You can forbid all loose stone then reclaim the ones you want moved. Though, it might be nice to hav a standing order to automatically forbid mined stone.

And yes, I believe that (even considering the need to go get a minecart first) using a wheelbarrow to move a large boulder will be far quicker than moving the boulder by hand (and using multiple wheelbarrows will make the overall job go all that much quicker).

I never said it wouldn't, it would only take longer for light weight items. (And I forgot about corpses, some of those can be quite heavy.)

Also, I’d like to note that QSPs aren’t something that players should be forced to rely on in the vanilla game.

Nobody is any way forced to rely on QSPs. If there's a stone in the way of building, the builder will usually move it. And if you don't want to see the stones you can hide them.

Also, I think I should add that I am fully in favor of adding DFHack’s behavior of allowing more than one wheelbarrow to a stockpile into the vanilla game (in my opinion, a 6x5 stockpile should ideally have 30 wheelbarrows assigned to it…).

I would rather they be limited to half the tiles since each wheelbarrow should occupy a tile - a 30 tile stockpile with 30 wheelbarrows in it is full.

spears are better in both contact area and penetration depth, which is the essence of piercing combat.

Picks hav a velocity bonus that is also important, though. See
