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?

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 / 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 / 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.
