DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Extreme luck + GCS = ???

Looks like that abdomen hit did it in.

So did you die from your injuries?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Is Adventure Mode a lot more demanding for one's comput

Huh. Any idea how to fix it, aside from upgrading one's computer?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Is Adventure Mode a lot more demanding for one's comput

When playing Fortress Mode, it's generally smooth enough, but whenever I try out Adventure Mode my FPS drops to maybe 20~, sometimes into the single digits. This only happens in adventure mode, too; in Fortress Mode, I don't notice any lag unless work builds up + I puncture an aquifer + a bunch of invaders attack (this did happen once)

That's pretty kickass. Congratulations on keeping that dwarf alive long enough to get an anvil.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Problem with dumping
« on: May 03, 2008, 10:55:00 am »
Garbage dumps are where they put stuff you've marked for dumping (K to look at an item, then press D). They should haul all items selected for dumping to the garbage dump.

Check a few things: Is the item forbidden? If it is, then they'll stay away from it even if it's marked for dumping.
Are your dwarves busy? Usually dumping is a high-priority target, meaning they'll do it before most other works, but they might all just be doing some other high-priority stuff.
Can they get to the item? Self explanatory here.
Hope this helps!

It's probably the Ultra-Mighty part that does the trick.

You know the funny thing? I don't think the dwarfs I import from have any flux either....

Oh, well, I do have some pig iron bars, actually. But the mandate is to make Pig Iron items. I mean, is that even possible?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / I demand Pig Iron items!
« on: May 30, 2008, 06:54:00 am »
Rovod Ifinsazir, Baroness Consort, raged in her room as the craftsdwarves explained to her that her demands were impossible and unreasonable to the extreme. "My lady, we cannot make items of Pig Iron! Not only is it impractical, but it's impossible. It's far too crude to mold into anything even remotely resembling craftsdwarfship and..."

But she'd have none of it. After a few weeks, most of the craftsdwarves were either detained indefinitely or enjoying a surprisingly pleasant breeze upon their necks. After a few months, the dwarves of Thunderlabor have had enough, and decided to finally make her a crown of Pig Iron. The type that won't come off without a cleaver and lots and lots of bandages.

------

So, in other words, my Baroness Consort has just mandated the construction of Pig Iron items. Now, as far as I know, this is impossible. What to do? I don't even have any flux to work with, but I do have magma and lots of wood to burn.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Finding magma vents
« on: May 09, 2008, 10:02:00 pm »
I think sites with an igneous rock layer, like felsite and obsidian, would have a better chance of magma pipes and such.

Actually, it might be exclusive to those.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: misfired traps

No, but it happened to me a few times too.

Sometimes it's a war dog, sometimes it's a cat.

Irritating sometimes...

I think every season change, there's a chance that they'll heal their wounds. So if you're lucky, they'll live.

Unless they're thirsty and it's still early in the season.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: not a drop of water on the map...
« on: June 02, 2008, 09:15:00 am »
If you're on a mountain, there's a small chance of an underground river in your region.

Otherwise, once it's all dried up, tough luck...

Well, this sucks. I think I'll let him starve or something... or maybe just lock him up when his mandate comes close.

No, I mean, his demand reads like this exactly:

Demand: item in Throne Room / Office.

I have no idea what to give him, so right now I have him in my Noble's Waiting Area.
