DF Gameplay Questions / How Does Magma?
« on: October 09, 2015, 11:21:05 am »
Okay, I found a pool of Magma about 20 layers down. Sadly, it's on the opposite corner of the map from where my fortress is. I have never successfully gotten a dwarven machine running before, so I have no idea how to pump it anywhere.

What do I do? How should I proceed? Do I dig out a cistern for magma under my fortress then go channel to it and let it fill up? Using a magma-safe rock to floodgate it? Can I then pump it up to my workshops? I don't know how to set up a pump.

What would you do with this? Any tips/advice?

DF Gameplay Questions / Finding Sedimentary Layer?
« on: October 08, 2015, 01:06:50 am »
I was wondering where I should find the sedimentary layer?
I have a fortress that is in sand/clay layers for the first two floors, then it hits Gneiss, then a ton of marble and that goes down into a cavern I can't currently get through because there's a huge amount of water down there and I'm not outfitted for opening the cavern yet.

I am currently digging about the map to see if there is any sedimentary layer stuff in other areas of my map...
I really like this embark and I'd hate to abandon it, but if there's no coal I can't make metal stuff... And my mayor has already mandated that I make picks... sucks.

Any help would be appreciated...

DF Gameplay Questions / Workflow Not Working. Help please?
« on: March 11, 2015, 10:42:55 am »
I am running LNP 40.24.

I have workflow enabled on the DFHACK window so it launches with the game. I have DFHACK confirmed working (or at least it responds to commands in the window). But when I set a repeating task then click alt+W nothing happens. I can't get the workflow plugin to actually respond. Anyone have any idea on what's wrong?

Workflow folder is in plugins where it belongs. I haven't done anything to it. When I first loaded the game, it was suspending jobs instead of cancelling, and now it's not. :c If I type workflow into DFHACK it responds with the Workflow commands and those respond. (i.e. "Workflow enable" returns "The plugin is enabled."
But alt+w does nothing and I don't see the text on a workshop page that says "Go to workflow" or whatever it was that it said there (Can't remember right now but there's only default text)
