DF Gameplay Questions / How do I get less swamps using Adv World Gen?
« on: April 22, 2022, 04:27:57 pm »
I find that Dwarf fortress produces too many large swamps and I am waiting to reduce the amount by about 1/4 and the size of them by 1/3.
How would I do this in Adv World Gen?
I do not understand the documentation so can someone help me out exactly what I need to do? Which variables do I change and to what values to reflect the above?

DF Gameplay Questions / Minecart system not working
« on: July 14, 2019, 04:20:48 am »
My Minecart system isnt working regarding the ramps. It works fine at the sub level but not on the ramps. I have checked the wiki (although some of it I didnt understand). In the hauling menu the last 3 stops (heading upward, z layer) has the 'Set dir/connect track' errors. What am I doing wrong?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Is there a way to fix a corrupted world?
« on: March 14, 2018, 05:26:34 pm »
Currently waiting to get into Mantis bug reports, already sent a message to one of the mods.

So in the meantime...

Is there a way to fix a corrupted world, the current game loads fine until unpaused. *Crash*
I have tested other worlds, they are fine, so its definitely the current world. Anyway of uncorrupting it? (If possible)

DF Gameplay Questions / Military barracks and items
« on: February 26, 2015, 06:03:22 pm »
I have a barracks spanned across 2 floors (Z Axis) an upstairs and a downstairs.

1)
The upstairs has been defined as a barracks with placed beds & cabinets.
When further defining the barracks, does 'Z: Sleep' define that this is where the dwarves will go to sleep?

2)
As for downstairs (Also defined as barracks) has Armour Stands & Weapon racks and is also the training area.
What do 'i: Indiv Eq' & 'q: Squad Eq' DO? I know what they stand for, but what do they do? Please explain in detail.

3)
I forced my dwarves to replace there clothing (Military screen, Equip, r) so they can get rid of their Caps so they can be replaced with Helmets.
Now they have thrown their old cloths all over the barracks when theres cabinets waiting to be filled.
How do I make them clean up their room (Besides yelling in their face) and prevent this from happening again?

4)
As explained with my barracks layout, do you think its a good idea?

Cheers!

DF Gameplay Questions / Starter armour
« on: February 22, 2015, 05:45:12 pm »
Im struggling with what armour to equip my dwarfs with, ive looked at the wiki and my brain goes into meltdown
The most solid thing ive got nailed is make leather shields.

As for the rest...theres just toooooo many variables:-
how much of the same item you can wear
the items weight
what type of attacks the armour is good against
coverage
layers
etc

Is there any starting tips on what i should equip my first melee squad with?
the armour, material and any cloths?

DF Gameplay Questions / Pressure Plumbing. How to control pressure?
« on: February 15, 2015, 07:08:51 pm »
Is there any way I can make the following plumbing? The picture should be self explanetory. I just want it so that the water does not exceed the max height however the pressure is going to be the problem. Is there a way i can control the presure to get the result in the image?
This image is viewed from the side.


Cheers!

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarfs wont take away corpses
« on: October 25, 2014, 01:48:38 pm »
Dwarfs wont take away corpses.
Every-time I make a new meeting area underground the dwarfs go there as normal along with animals (pets maybe? (yaks, mules, horses etc))
Once these animals die they cause Miasma.

I have a refuse stockpile and the dwarfs can access it, however wont wont move the corpses? all dwarfs are set up for hauling everything, so this isnt the case

Why?
This is starting to get frustrating...

I also have available coffins for pets to
