DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Caves
« on: May 31, 2009, 01:45:04 am »
Hi!

I've read about the big cave system thingy, but I don't actually know if caves have already been inplemented, and if so, how to find them. Can someone enlighten me?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Modding
« on: May 21, 2009, 12:12:23 am »
Can someone introduce me to modding in new races? I read a lot of posts about orcs and hobgoblins and such but I know they're not part of the game by default.

What does it mean when my Clerk is blinking pink/pruple?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Managing jobs/skills
« on: May 19, 2009, 07:54:47 pm »
I hear there is a program to manage my dwarves skills and professions. Is this true? Right now I'm using a huge text document to manage the dwarves.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Get my wood cutter to cut wood
« on: May 19, 2009, 07:41:03 pm »
Hi.

I can't get any wood cut. I have a free healthy dwarf with wood cutting enabled, and Fight with Axe on his  soldiering screen. But I only have two axes, and both of those are in bed with injured trappers and woodworkers. I have the feeling that's why I designate trees that just don't get chopped. How do I get the sickly dwarves to let go of their now useless weapons?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Need help moving from small fort to large fort
« on: May 14, 2009, 08:47:21 pm »
Hey guys

I can set up a hole in the wall and support my first seven dwarves through their first year. But I'm so OCD that without a complete plan in my head before hand I don't know what to do to move to a larger fortress. How does the old one fit within the new one? How do I layout the piles/shops/etc.? I need some serious help.

What are your guys' strategies for expanding?

DF General Discussion / Increase Window Size

Sorry for being noobish, but I tried fiddling with the init file and couldn't make it work. Can I make my DF window wider and taller?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Planning the fortress
« on: May 13, 2009, 06:06:41 pm »
Okay, so I've embarked on a fairly nice map and I've got a small fort set up that will support seven dwarves for a while. But I need to plan the next stage of the fort. Is there a tool where I can export the map so I can look at it for a while outside of the game?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Item Hauling -- who should do it?
« on: May 10, 2009, 09:31:50 pm »
So I just got a bunch of migrants, and I think I'm gonna make all the peasants haulers/smoothers/grunts. But I'm trying to decide if the professionals should do some hauling too -- just the items they'll need. Like, should I also have a Mason do Stone hauling?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / item is red in farm plot
« on: May 10, 2009, 08:11:28 pm »
What does it mean when a seed type is red in the farm plot screen? For winter, Plump Helmet is red right now.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Cancel job, lose item?
« on: May 10, 2009, 07:37:00 pm »
If I have a dwarf making, say, charcoal at the wood furnace, and I cancel the job as he's doing it, do I lose the ingredients?

So? How OCD are you? Tell me your amusing tales!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Help with Rotting Remains
« on: May 09, 2009, 04:56:16 pm »
IS there an option or something I need to enable to get my dwarves to remove garbage and rotting vermin from the fortress and put it in the refuse pile I made outside? The pile is empty and there are dead vermin from my cat and no one's moving it, even though everyone still has garbage hauling and cleaning skills enabled.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Building over open air
« on: May 07, 2009, 10:03:04 pm »
Can you build a floor tile beside a wall without support under it? I want to build a bride out of stone, maybe three support pillars, then floor and walls from one end to the other.

Or, perhaps, a tower that gets wider as it gets taller.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Blocking the river
« on: May 06, 2009, 11:26:14 pm »
Hi. It says in the wiki under floodgates that I shouldn't place a floodgate in an already flooded area. How do I block an above-ground river for a while, so I can rechannel it and dig out some rubies?
