DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Aquifer: how to get past it?
« on: March 29, 2014, 12:36:48 pm »
OK, I've started a fortress game in an area with a water table 2 levels down from the surface. How do I find a diggable path past it? Digging trenches obviously won't work, since if I dig a trench through a diggable area AND water filled area, the water will flow from one to the other, rendering my excavation useless. What is the usual method?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Mouse interactivity and large screens.
« on: March 20, 2014, 09:11:17 am »
When I increase the size of my window, the mouse stops working to designate areas anywhere outside the original size of the screen when it first pops up (the extreme upper lefthand corner) - I assume this is a bug? Is there any way to fix it so that the mouse will work in the entire screen?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Newbie questions I can't find in the FAQ

How do you place chests? my Mayor says he needs two, and I made some, but I don't see them under the build item lists..."Containers" apparently only includes bags and bins?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Searched for this, but can't find an answer: Hotkey changes since tutorial?
« on: March 16, 2014, 12:10:27 am »
I downloaded the game today along with the tutorial (and the old version so I could run the tutorial) - once I loaded into the new version, I found a couple of problems I haven't been able to figure out:

1: You can't always select dig areas with the mouse anymore. It appears to work in some areas of the screen but not in others.
2: (IMPORTANT) Holding down alt and using the arrow keys appears to no longer be the method of scrolling up and down in menus. I haven't been able to find any hotkeys that WILL scroll up and down in the menus, which means I cannot access the help files, grow any crop but the first one in the list for each season, or do anything that requires scrolling in a submenu.
