DF Gameplay Questions / List of Ages?
« on: August 21, 2008, 04:40:38 am »
Greetings ye Dwarfers.  I've not a huge request today, I was just wondering if anyone had a list of the Ages a world could go through, as well as their triggering conditions.  I'm just curious as to what affects what, seeing as I mostly (Disappointingly) only see the Age of Legends followed by the Age of Heroes.  So, anything like that exist?

DF Modding / MODVALUE: Clarification.
« on: August 18, 2008, 05:00:43 am »
Hi guys.  I'm making some forays into modding right now, and I had to ask a question about MODVALUE.  Does it affect things made BY the creature, or things made OF the creature?  And is there any purpose in having it on a race that I intend to make to replace the Dwarves in Fortress Mode?

Ok, the problem seems to be that my ramps weren't against a wall on the bottom level.  Building a wall behind them seems like it will solve the problem.  When I get back home I'll try it out.

Ok, the wierd thing is that the Green line ends for no apparent reason.  It's just before the ramps leading up, and it's still three tiles wide.  Nothing else APPEARS to have changed either.

DF Gameplay Questions / Trade Depot Trouble
« on: July 13, 2008, 06:27:03 pm »
Hey.  I'm having a problem here with my Trade Depot, in that according to the Wiki it should be fine.  However, it obviously isn't.  My Trade Depot is built one Z-Layer below the rest of my base, and while it has a three wide path to it, my shift-D tells me that the Depot is inaccessible.  How can I find where the problem is? 
Incidentally, a function for shift-D that did exactly that would be a HUGE timesaver.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: My butchers won't butcher...

Yeah, I've also done that.  What does the task show up as when a dwarf accepts an order to slaughter something?

DF Gameplay Questions / My butchers won't butcher...
« on: June 19, 2008, 04:15:15 am »
The topic pretty much speaks for itself, however, to clarify, I have a fortress of 35 dwarves, and not one of them will lift a lazy finger to save themselves from starvation.  I have set Capture Live Animal on the butchers shop, I've made SURE there's a dwarf with the Butcher skill on, but they won't do it.  On a related note, no matter how often my butcher was working before, the kitchen would never cook food, claiming a deficit.  A little help to save my Ghandi dwarves would be great.

DF Gameplay Questions / The World We Live In...
« on: June 01, 2008, 03:25:00 am »
Hi all.  Back again.  After having played around for a while and managed to create a fortress that didn't starve to death within a year, I've come to wonder.  Is there way to get more information on the details that are listed during World Creation?  For instance, can we find out when and why a particular age was named as such?  I realize Legend mode may be at least a partial answer.  But I'd also like to know if there's anything I can do during World Creation.  Can I look around as the world is generating, or affect the world in any way?

DF Gameplay Questions / Engravings, Statue and Item Descriptions...
« on: May 29, 2008, 03:54:00 am »
Hey, I've been reading a few of the stories on the forums.  I've noticed they're able to show us what their artifacts are, and what their engravings are of, but I can't figure out how to do this myself in game.  Can somebody please enlighten me?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Lever Problems
« on: May 17, 2008, 05:14:00 am »
I'm trying to hook up the lower one, as I said, and I'm coming at it from below.  In theory, my dwarves should have no problems getting to it, which is why I'm wondering if I've done something wrong.  Although at this point, it's become an academic question, since I had to abandon that fortress.  I'll post here again if I continue to have trouble...

My bad, I have the problem where my dwarves cancel the linkup, despite access being a simple matter.  I'll post a screenshot:

X = Floodgate
# = Wall
. = Floor

###
#X#
#.#
#X#

I'm trying to hook up the bottom floodgate, but for some reason they just cancel the order, claiming he can't get to it.  If you need more information, just ask and I'll give it...

DF Gameplay Questions / Lever Problems
« on: May 16, 2008, 07:35:00 pm »
Hi, only just started playing Dwarf Fortress.  Loving it so far, despite the learning cliff you have to overcome to get into it.  Just a quick question though, I'm trying to set up my floodgates so that I can control the flooding of my farm room, and for some reason, no matter what I do, the Dwarves tell me that they can't hook up the lever to the floodgate.  I have the mechanisms required, and access to the floodgates SEEMS to be unobstructed...
So yeah, if you guys could help me out on that front, I'd appreciate it.  Peace out.
