Bay 12 Games Forum

They're good for upping the spirits of every dorf, and thus upping the spirits of those who absolutely need it.

I like putting the waterfall part of the generator in the entryway of taverns and temples, so that everyone goes through them. As an added bonus, when they pass over the floor gratings through the waterfall, they get washed. Mud, blood, Forgotten Beast dust, vomit, and other things collect in pools under the mist generator. Not all dorfs wash, but they're all washed in the mist generator waterfall!

I don't like it, and see no point to it other than people who want to criticise the game making a big deal out of it if it's not 18. It's to prevent the inevitable haters, in my opinion, and to prevent liability, got nothing to do with gameplay. But hey, easily repairable, so easily ignored.

No loo(k) and being forced to use mouseover is much more annoying.

If it's a high priority job, give it to someone who doesn't have other hauling on their list of jobs. You can even cancel everything else they do except priority hauling, if that's your bailiwick.

I often don't actually worry too much about stuff being moved, it will be moved eventually.

"Thiefnoble", a porcupine bone bed menacing with spikes of platinum.
Of course a bed made of porcupine of all things is ridiculous, but it's also one hell of a statement.

It's interesting that the porcupine bones are the bedframe itself, yet the spikes themselves, they're platinum, not porcupine quills. It really does sound like a bed of nails from a pantomime.

how can a TABLE make a plaintive gesture?!

Presumably by lying on its back and showing its fluffy belly like a dog...

Me, I'm really looking forward to the Mac version, but it will be sad if it's not got the ASCII visuals, I've always loved that about Dwarf Fortress. No doubt it will "happen when it happens" and I'm fine with that. So delighted it's been a successful launch, even if I can't play the game! Very very awesome that it's happened so well.

My machines won't run it either (I need a mac or a linux version) but I bought it anyway, with the assumption that they'll get a mac version to me when they can. It is a great disappointment not to be included in the Steam release, but I can wait.

The forums do appear to be being slashdotted. It probably means good things, I guess, all these people wanting to see to forums and all.

You could try giving him a private bar with a hired poisoner bartender for the booze issue if you keep him loose. My usual method with undead nobles is walled off rooms with everything they could desire on the inside. They become very slow and steady bookkeepers, and wander their vast rooms at their leasure, occasionally turning into weregiraffes and banging their head on the ceiling. I presume necromancers also don't need food?

Also welcome back, it's great and I'm glad you're having fun

...wow.

I mean, my dorfs are considered "free range" even compared to players who aren't factory farming them in little cubes, but... wow. Your playstyle is officially as far from mine as I think it's possible to go.
