DF General Discussion / Dwarf Fortress with an Ergodox

I realise that maybe I should just pull out a staggered keyboard for games, but the dox is just so much more comfortable.

For reference, here's a picture:



I was wondering if anyone else was into obscure keyboards and played DF with it. What does your keyboard layout look like? Did you make a special DF layer? Did you change the game keys? Both?

Edit: Maybe I should mention that the board is fully programmable. As in, I have the source code for the firmware. I've moved keys around a lot. For example, no arrow keys on the home layer. Which also means I could, conceivably, make a specialised layer with all the useful DF keys easily accessible. But I wanted to bounce it off the veterans before committing to so much work.

git clone -b develop git://github.com/DFHack/dfhack.git

Git veteran here, I never knew about the -b switch to clone. You never go to bed without having learned at least one new thing, eh?

I don't figure there's a way to flip the labor and dwarf columns around, to make the app more portrait friendly?

I bought it on Amazon, kindle version. It's a truly excellent book, and it's worth supporting the author, although I'm not sure how much he might get off Amazon for it. It's an O'Reilly book, so you can be fairly certain that you're getting at least a very decent book.

And it's just $10.95, so it's not like you're gutting your budget over it.

Thanks for posting this, TinyPirate! It really helped out a lot. The 'Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress' book did too... did you write that?

According to his website, yes, he's the book's author. Awesome book! Wish it went into more detail about dwarven engineering, managing water, and the military. Then again, it's a "getting started" book.

Hey, I doubt this is the best place to post about this, but I have no clue where else I'd put it, and it certainly doesn't warrant a new thread.

I'm just curious as to why nest boxes can't be placed in planning mode. Is this deliberate, a bug, or are they just special and can't be planned?

I just had this happen to two entire squads. I sent them out to kill various wild life, which they had no trouble with. I did this 6-7 times and they carried it out without any issues. Then I send all of them after a pack of wolves. They took them out, and then just stood there for months, eventually dying of thirst.

Should I report a bug with the save attached? What's the protocol for that?
