Bay 12 Games Forum

Set to over clothing, using a modified version of the default metal uniform as I set specific shields and weapon type to warhammers.  I left the armor settings alone since metal armor is metal armor.  The squad was set up before the armorer cranked out the armor, so they were training with copper hammers and wooden shields.  Or at least that was the general idea.  set half of them to train at any given time at first, and ended up with them listed as soldier <no activity>  until I dropped it to 2 soldier minimum.

I butcher as much as I can, but I've had waves where I'd get over a dozen pets and another 2 dozen dwarves.

Thanks for the advice all the same guys

everything needed is right next door, straight shot through the doorway, so no weird pathing.  I'll take a stab at it again when I'm not so annoyed with it, a game should not make me want to shoot something IRL.

Toady should probably change the whole "grab entire bin/barrel" thing for when a dorf only wants to use a single object inside it. Also planters should just grab the bag of seeds anyway.
Perhaps dwarves should have personal containers for small objects like socks/etc which they stuff with every object they're going to carry to a place into.

This actually killed the best fort I could have had with the newer builds because the grower could almost never plant anything since the barrel was always gone.  here's a new need for ya though

At the soap maker's shop  Needs soap maker to produce!

well no shit.

Thanks to the new hauling mechanisms that tell my haulers to take ALL the seeds with them when they go get... one seed.  And ALL my plants to get... one plant.

I'm all ears as to how to get around this new 'feature'  because it's a great big pain in my furry ass.

oooh, didn't really think about the obvious meaning to the title... Sorry 

So treat em like goblins, cramped, smelly, and bodies everywhere.... gotcha

That's right, I'm under siege by dwarven migrants.

The little blighters are like locusts and I cannot imagine how badly the mountainhomes must be run for them to ALL come decending upon my little 17 dwarf outpost.   

Spring 2nd Year:  My population more than triples.  42 dwarves decended on my little stone crafting operation... ah who am I kidding, I was just clearing the trash outta the freakin hallways :p

Now there is no way I generated that much wealth.  Been a year or so since I've really gotten into a fort, but i isn't like I've struck Adamantite or even gotten my metalworks _started_ I don't have enough diggers or carpenters to get these guys rooms, or even just bed in a repurposed storage yard!  Nevermind the other 30 who arrived with the onset of summer.

Seriously, did someone adjust the migrant calculations?  And to think I used to feel oerwhelmed when 20 would show up lmao.

Don't mind the vampires, easy enough to handle

going from 17 dwarves to 60 in a single migrant wave...  little excessive.  Cresting 120+ after the next is absolutely absurd.  Did someone change the rules for migrants when I wasn't looking?
