DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Melting foreigners
« on: December 06, 2014, 11:02:55 pm »
Has anyone done research on the melt output for foreign weapons? I've modded so my dorfs can forge whips, long swords, etc and I want to know what's best for training my smiths.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Population cap
« on: November 30, 2014, 05:26:09 am »
Lately I've been running low pop forts(30ish) and loving it but my newest fort has just hit 45. I just use the options on the LNP launcher and it's always worked before. I'm still getting migrants and babies.

Any idea why it's not working? Can I manually set the cap?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Right... Should have expected that
« on: November 08, 2014, 03:53:24 am »
So in my last few forts I've been getting a handle on quantum stockpiles and I absolutely love them, not sure how I managed before. So in my new fort I have this brilliant idea: my kitchen/farm area is up fairly high but I wanted my dining hall down deep, under the various workshop levels and closer to the bedrooms, so to save on walking and hauling I made a chute to drop food and drinks near the hall.

Fortunately the first casualty was only a useless child, he shall not be missed.

So how do I avoid having dorfs getting their heads crushed by falling wine pots? Is this viable at all?

EDIT: alright, I'm losing dorfs children at an alarming rate... So this might be considered a success after all.

DF General Discussion / A quick thank you
« on: October 25, 2014, 10:13:41 pm »
I will admit, the first time I tried playing Dwarf Fortress, I looked at the screen, became quickly terrified and disoriented, then turned it off. I didn't even think to play it again until two years later when a friend gave me a tour of his thriving fortress and demonstrated his gcs silk farming operation. Since that day I've been hooked.

If it was up to me, I would include the latest version of df on Voyager 3.

Thanks, Toady

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / I hate sponges
« on: October 20, 2014, 10:30:43 am »
I'm having some problems with the exterminate command for dfhack. I just want the stupid sponges off my map, giant ones, sponge men, the whole lot. I've also considered removing their aquatic tag so they drown. Would that work? Need help here....

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / This has gone too far
« on: October 19, 2014, 02:55:48 pm »
I'm having a but of a vampire issue in my current fort. The first corpse didn't really panic me too much but now the bastard has drained my legendary swordmaster. That guy wiped out a forgotten beast and a handful of cave dragons single-handedly! I'm not impressed.

So how do I identify this horrid creature of the night?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Lean, mean drinking machines

 I'm just wondering what the best way to burn the fat off militia would be? Is there a commonly accepted method?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Cave Croc Ranch
« on: August 26, 2014, 01:35:12 am »
 So I captured a wack of cave crocodiles during a goblin siege, trained up 4(2 male, 2 female), then caged and realeased them in a room with a couple of nest boxes. Neither have claimed a nest box though.

Why aren't they makin' babies?

« on: August 24, 2014, 02:09:29 am »
 In the blue corner: Imketh Dalzatamud Asas Gorroth, Bronze Colossus!
 In the red corner: 30~ Gobbos, a few trolls, and a dozen cave crocs!

Any wagers?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / monom quakesquirts
« on: August 22, 2014, 03:32:51 am »
 One of the few survivors of my first squad, tough, agile, strong, with no arms. She managed to get one chopped off during a siege, then healed up in time to get the other smashed to mush. So she can't hold a weapon but has good armor, fighting, and dodging skill. I just don't know what to do with her...
fyi: There's a bronze colossus outside the gates right now.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Unicorn Farming
« on: June 15, 2014, 07:42:01 am »
 So I finally caught a breeding pair of unicorn, what's the best way to go about farming them for their bones, horns, etc?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / A lot of child immigrants
« on: June 08, 2014, 04:49:01 pm »
 So I've had what seems like a crazy amount of child immigrants in my last 2 forts, probably half of each migrant wave... for 8 waves in a row. At this point a third of my fort are children. I like to leave the little bastards for the snatchers but I may have to start aggressive disposal. Is this normal??
