DF Suggestions / Option to not trade bins
« on: July 18, 2008, 01:08:23 pm »
Just a suggestion to make it so when you select a bin with stuff in it for trade, that you can set a option somewheres so that your not trading the bin but just the stuff inside it.

Eveytime the elves come to trade, i dont even bother to trade with them. If i want to trade with them, then that means i cant just select the bins for trade, i have to select each and every object in the bins...

(not like the elves have much of anything good however...)

DF Bug Reports / Mugs Stored in Bins dont show up under crafts.
« on: July 16, 2008, 07:34:03 am »
Id assume this is maybe not a bug. But then again maybe it is.

When i fill my bins with mugs, i have to go through the "All" list at my trade depot, to select them for trade. They are never listed under crafts.

I'm trying to get the Dystopian Rhetoric Tileset to work. Yet no matter what i do i cannot get it to be displayed.

I have followed and done everything the wiki said.

I have gotten "Mike Mayday (Tocky, DR, Herrbdog etc)" tileset to work just fine. Haven't had a problem with it. But now i cannot get any other tileset to work.

Can anyone help?

DF Modding / Adding items to the embark menu?
« on: March 01, 2008, 02:42:00 pm »
OK i searched all 9 pages of the forums, and i have found nothing pertaining to this.

I don't see how this question could have no been asked before.

When i add the bee hive mod to my game, it adds beehives to my embark screen under seeds.

However, there is nothing different from the bee hive, to any of the other 20 different types of seeds.

How does the game know what to add to the embark menu?

Literally, in the matgloss plants txt file, i'm seeing no difference between other seeds, and the ones you start with.

This cant be something hard coded otherwise how come beehives are added to the embark menu....

*sigh* please help?

DF Modding / My new shields... Dwarfs wont equip them
« on: March 10, 2008, 07:05:00 am »
I have added in some new shields.

I left buckler the same, but i changed the normal shield to a small shield, then added in medium, large and body shields.

How ever even tho under weapons i have my dwarfs set to use shields. No one bothers to pick up the body shields.

Anyone know why this would be. The new shields i added in are pretty much the same as the original buckler and shield, but with different stats.

Everytime migrants arrive in my land, they spend several minutes, just standing on the edge of the map, before they start moving to my fortress, anyone know why this is?

I searched the forum but i didnt find nothing that helped.

DF Gameplay Questions / Game wont let me t: Trade
« on: February 03, 2008, 01:24:00 am »
I'm new to the game and i am having some trouble trying to trade with the dwarfs which come around the first year.

I got a basic fortress working and such, and i have a trade depot built.

I made a bunch of shell, bone and rock mug craft's and i have them being moved to the trade depot.

As the items are placed in the trade depot, when i press (q) and move over the trade depot, the trade option is grey'ed out, it wont let me trade.

This is about the 5th fortress i made so far, but the last one i made before this one i got as far as i did now, and i was having the same problem.

How do i trade with the traders?

Also how do i discuss what i want them to bring for next year?

Any help would be much appreciated. I got the game paused for now, i don't want the traders to leave again this time like they did the last time.

DF Gameplay Questions / What does the î stand for in region and local....
« on: February 21, 2008, 09:14:00 pm »
I found a single "î" in a forest in region.

In local it appears as a 3x3 square.

Is this a fort or town?

Wiki doesn't say.

How dwarfs manage to move ore, without the use of bags/bins or mine carts?

Mining the side of a rock wall with a pick, is not going to produce one easy to move piece, which you causally pick up and move where ever.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mine Carts put in.

Bit more realistic.

Or at least make it so that miners need bins to carry ore. Each Tile Block which gets mined needs to be moved away in 4 loads of dirt and ore before the tile is assessable.

If a mine cart is present, the mine cart can be filled up with the whole tile block.

I know this is a bit extreme....

But what are your thoughts on this?

Mine carts could be put on tracks or pushed by dwarfs, Mine Tracks would of course speed up the process. Carts can easily move from the mine track to dirt to be moved to a new location.


Edit: Also, I don't see why ore magically disappears when a miner is not as skilled as another. Where does this ore go too. A unskilled miner would mine slower. Does this mean he also steals the Ore half the time also?
