DF Gameplay Questions / Brewing Dwarven wine conditional
« on: March 08, 2020, 04:40:24 pm »
Got a good help of someone: set conditional arguments so as they say
"when dwarven wine : <75&& plump helmets >5 && empty barrels >1, brew plump helmets"

Then you never have to check your brewers again if you don't want to. You can proceed to set another one for barrels so thats never an issue either. => another alcoholic drink then i conclude. 
Its no more tedious levels of micromanagement

But doing this order in the manager screen ?
I tried, but get not yet a hang to it ?

DF Gameplay Questions / Playing default Dwarf fortress with LNP pack
« on: March 07, 2020, 06:16:57 pm »
All sorts of options for playing a not standard dwarf fortress,  but for now i like to play the default version tile set for DF.
Why there is no button in LNP for restoring the default Dwarf fortress configuration?

DF Suggestions / Tabbed embark page with different tilesets
« on: March 04, 2020, 03:57:03 pm »
I find it confusing to decipher all those symbols in the default DF game and the other tilesets DF games.
Now, i don't know on the embark screen what all symbols are on the world map.

Therefore i suggest to add a draggable tabs feature  for the embark screen for different tilesets
   
A idea what i get from a person is to produce a default embarkscreen and later on a another tileset embarkscreen
Is it possible to generate two identical embark worlds with different tilesets in DF ?

So DF generated a default embark screen and translate this to tabs with other tilesets
Drag een tabbed page to another screen is very handy: in my case i do have a widescreen for two screens next to eachother

« on: March 01, 2020, 01:01:45 pm »
At the moment i am playing in the fortress mode and its challencing
The idea of a adventurer looks to me promising too : wander around outside in the world instead of underground in a fortress.
How to play like a adventurer and what features does have the adventurer mode  (for example :  like a legends viewer in fortress and oversight in Civilization/world map)

DF Suggestions / Guild halls
« on: February 27, 2020, 09:38:34 am »
As i understand it correct : items do have quality levels
The real guilds ( here in Holland long time ago ) take a apprentice and give them education to becomes a master in his workmanship (a masterproof )

How is this in Dwarf Fortress made ?
The guild members are now only sitting together in their guildhall in DF?

Can there be made a masterproof by guild members to give the fort a extraordinairy item ?
Example: a mason must build special wall construction... like that.

DF Gameplay Questions / Health monitor and defending
« on: February 20, 2020, 07:53:17 am »
There is a health monitor in the right bottom corner ..it  is installed by DF hack i  think?
The total number of dwarfs are visible, together with seven states of health conditions.

-What health conditions are those colors standing for ?

At the moment i see that all dwarves are stressed, depicted by a red arrow and there is 1 dwarf with a red number ,and 6 with a yellow number and 3 with a with number : tottal of 10 dwarves

The most difficult part to start to build a start fortress (one year old ) is to feed the dwarves and facing goblin enemies
How to defend the fortress at maximum at the start of building it ..i placed some cages for the entrance, because how to get a soldier/defending dwarf with no weapons ( is this possible?)
