DF General Discussion / Non-Dwarven Medical Care
« on: May 05, 2018, 06:08:38 pm »
I just got released from the emergency room. The guy who put my IV in was a dwarf fortress player. Thankfully he had no magma on hand, and so he gave me some non-dwarven medical care instead.

So my crash is 100%, every time. But I tried making a simpler text case, without the various raw edits I normally run with, and it suddenly stopped crashing at all. I'll keep poking. I'd stopped because I assume this was already well taken care of.

Am i not just seeing the "regular" raid crash? That only happens in saved games right, not in fresh-start games?

I stopped updating my ticket

because other people were posting tickets about it.

DF Gameplay Questions / How do I raid in a savegame?
« on: April 13, 2018, 02:27:22 pm »
Raiding works fine until you save and reload. But I can't find any trick on a loaded game to make raiding another site not crash the game. Nor do I see anything about working around this problem. Surely someone has a found a workaround?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: When Are Elections?

Since I sent six of my seven of my dwarves off to glory at embark, I have no leader in my fortress, so I can't form units or schedule raids. I can barely buy things from the caravans, and when elves come for bloody revenge all I can do is count down the deaths and make more coffins.

DF Gameplay Questions / When Are Elections?
« on: December 04, 2017, 01:30:47 pm »
Last night I downloaded the new version, and fired it up. I did no mods, just straight DF. I'd read on the forums that naked dwarves would just trample enemies and return laden with loot, so I designated some digging and soon as one dwarf picked up the pick I put the rest into a squad and sent them to raid the elves that were two tiles away.
They were all immediately captured. I have no nobility,and no method to appoint nobility. Migrants have come though, as well as elven raiders. All in all, I'm still ahead, up to roughly 80 dwarves I think. I built a tavern, and people are coming to it as well. But there hasn't been a mayoral election yet. I can't do much of anything. Trading is a disaster because I can't see prices. When the elves come and attack I can't defend because I can't make more military. I don't have a manager, so I have to hand queue every pot and every brew. My liason keeps leaving upset because he can't meet with anyone.
Will I ever have an election, or is my only hope to donate enough goods to migrate the king or queen here someday? Or can a baron show up without the liason if I try for that as well?

Make a food stockpile that only contains foods you want to cook. Set kitchen(s) to draw from that stockpile (or have the stockpile give to those I forget which way it works) and make sure none of the other kitchens are active/accessible, and then set up the management order.

DF Modding / How do I make a giant slade serrated disc?
« on: September 01, 2016, 03:37:37 pm »
I'm not really sure where to start. I tried the simple thing of adding [STONE] to the serrated disc in item_trapcomp.txt, but that didn't work for me. Probably because only carpenters and metalsmiths can make traps, and stone isn't workable at either shop.

DF Gameplay Questions / Deadliest Embark yet, what do I do?
« on: August 28, 2016, 11:53:10 pm »
I made a new embark. Lots of trees. I dug down, built a fortress. My logs are constantly telling me that Urist has been missing a week. Seldom is Urist found. I had to make slabs, but I only found out that Urist was missing.
Finally, I started searching the trees. These are big trees. Filled with dead dwarves. Often two, three, or more Z levels above ground level.
I tried cutting all the trees down (which required waiting for a caravan and they had apparently taken all the axes up into the trees with them). Now Urists are climbing on top of my wall and buildings, and dying on top of them.
It's not stopping. What do I do to keep my dwarves on the ground? I have awesome fruit trees in my grove, I made them awesome wine. Why do they keep climbing up things to die on top?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Horizontal Support/Cave In Mechanics
« on: August 16, 2016, 05:48:33 pm »I managed to figure out these things without losing very many dwarves, but I'd rather not lose more dwarves to trial and error, so I thought I'd ask a few questions.
The word is !!science!!, not "trial and error", and losing dwarves to it is exactly what you do. You also lose dwarves when not doing !!science!!. It's best not to lose sleep over lost dwarves. More dwarves will come, but lost sleep is gone forever.

I wish it caved in! No, it just becomes empty. And you get a lot of rocks.
