DF Gameplay Questions / Work Orders Cancellation Spam
« on: June 07, 2019, 01:36:28 am »
Hi guys!

I do not understand why am I constantly getting "Urist McCheeseMaker cancels Decorate With ivory/tooth: Needs unrotten ivory/tooth body part" messages for the following order:



I thought that this task won't start if I have less than 5 unrotten ivory/tooth body part as well as 5 improvable items.

There's only one dwarf with the "Bone Carving" labor enabled and, as you can see on the screenshot, the requirements are not fulfilled to start that order.

The same goes for some other tasks (for example, "forge iron gauntlets").

So, what's the deal?

DF Gameplay Questions / How to capture magma creatures
« on: June 03, 2016, 05:27:44 pm »
I want to catch some magma creatures via cage traps.

Does material of which cages are made of matter? Should it be magma-safe? If so, how can I choose magma-safe cafe when setting up a cafe trap?

Should I also use magma-safe mechanisms?

DF Gameplay Questions / Selling masterpiece items
« on: May 28, 2016, 01:25:36 pm »
According to the Wiki:

Quote
Selling a masterwork item to a caravan will cause an unhappy thought when the wagon carrying it leaves the map

Is it true? So I can't sell those tons of masterpiece mugs to caravans?

DF Gameplay Questions / How to disable "Harvest Plants" labor for specific dwarves

Is there any way to disable "Harvest Plants" labor for specific dwarves?

I don't want my miners to pick up plump helmets when they are supposed to mine adamantine vein on Z-120 level.

All "Hauling" labors are turned off.

DF Gameplay Questions / Are silk farms still work?
« on: May 27, 2016, 02:38:30 am »
I just caught a giant cave spider and created a "traditional" silk farm as the following:



Dwarves see the spider (because I receive "interrupted by Giant Cave Spider" messages) but the spider doesn't throw web at my military dwarves.

What's the reason?

DF Gameplay Questions / Blood in a water source

Will blood in a water source attached to a well result in an infection of wounded dwarves?

If so, will pumps clean it?

DF Gameplay Questions / How to transfer save file from Windows to Mac
« on: May 22, 2016, 03:16:54 pm »
I want to play my fortress created in Windows version of the game on Mac.

So I created "data/save" directory in the directory of the freshly installed Mac version and copied "data/save/region1" to the "data/save" directory of that Mac package.

As a result, I don't see "Continue Game" button in the main menu.

What's wrong?

DF Gameplay Questions / How to restrict a dyer from dyeing adamantine strands

How to restrict a dyer from dyeing adamantine strands?

It seems that resulting adamantine wafers will have the same color and value regardless of what dyer did with the strands so I don't want to waste his time on this useless job.

DF Gameplay Questions / Military dwarves sleep on the floor

Why do my military dwarves sleep on the floor instead of their bedrooms?





They train all year but I thought that they should go to the personal bedrooms anyway.

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarf doesn't claim a room
« on: May 21, 2016, 01:27:51 am »
Why does my hunter not claim his own bedroom?

He spent about 5 years in a fortress and he's the only one who doesn't claim a room.

He don't have an assigned burrow and he's definitely not a vampire (because he's from the starting squad).

What's wrong with him then?

DF Gameplay Questions / Strange accidents in public places
« on: May 20, 2016, 02:48:18 am »
I had two strange cases in my fortress recently.

The first one is a dead military dwarf inside the training room. There are no combat reports and his health was good enough to live a long life.



The second one just happened. My dwarves found two corpses inside a tavern -- tavern keeper and goblin guest.



There are no combat reports and it seems that I don't have a vampire in my fortress because the only citizens that don't have a bedroom are the dwarf from the starting squad and a child (according to the Wiki, they can't be vampires).

There are no information about these cases in the "Justice" menu either.

What can it be?

DF Gameplay Questions / How troglodytes came to my fortress
« on: May 19, 2016, 06:40:30 am »
I noticed that several troglodytes just came to my fortress:



But I wonder how is that possible?

There are only two connections to the underground caves. The first one is a blocked door followed by few cage traps:



The second one is a well followed by few cage traps again:



The same goes for gorlak:



What's wrong then?
