I just chained a puppy as close as i dared, then surrounded it with 8 cage traps. IIRC I trapped the gcs the next season.

Blocks are only good for compactability and construction, I don't think there is anything else they can be used for.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Windows as Alarms

I personally haven't gotten around to using windows yet, but for an animal to detect enemies in ambush mode, the two have to touch. If there's a window between them then they can't touch, so I don't think its possible.

All the maps in my sig were genned with orc mod, so you should get the same worlds. Unfortunately all of them only have brooks.

Depends on how active you were during that 1 & 1/2 year. You need a certain wealth, among other things to trigger their siege. Most of the time you don't even have to try to get them sieging by the first winter, but its possible to go a few years without triggering them.

If the workshop they are sitting in says it is claimed, then your just missing the item they need. Watch the needed items list very carefully for the full list of items, its easy to miss a single item. For secretive moods, when they say Stacked Cloth, it means either plant or silk. If they've already started gathering items you can determine what the first item in the list is, allowing you to see exactly what it is your missing.

My understanding was that +/-'s to mood last as long as the thought does (a couple seasons IIRC), though that may be outdated. I think that is
Quote from: this
Also, I noticed that there's mechanics in place to prevent any Dwarf from getting too happy: any Dwarf above 100 happiness gets their happiness decreased at season shifts.
Would account for a Dwarf losing more mood each season as they'd be experiencing a larger number of +s, which means the number they lose also increases. Do dwarf's have a default mood value? Never really checked for a just embarked dwarf, if they are even thought free at that point.

EDIT:From the wiki page on thought, though its quite old.
Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)
All the values are listed as well for thoughts, though they must be outdated as most of the +/-'s are around 10-30 points, considering the heights my dwarves' moods are reaching (None of my dwarves currently in the top 3 for mood have an artifact related thought). Or the mechanics have changed a bit since the page was updated.

I wonder how many bytes mood takes up, would be awesome to experience an overflow.

For example, exporting an image from a fort called Chaosgears will generate a file called Chaosgears-param-region2-209-11283.txt. Everything after param is just the folder and game date info. Just stick everything except the df version into your world_gen.txt at the bottom, changing the [TITLE:Region02] line to something recognizable. Then you can select it during custom generation.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Ecstatic Spartan Dwarves...
« on: December 20, 2009, 08:46:16 pm »
Was checking why one of my dwarves was still ecstatic after tossing all his masterwork stuff by accident in Dwarf Therapist, when I noticed nearly a 1/4th of my population is over the 1000 mark for mood, 2/3rd above 500, and the rest generally above 200. Bit strange considering that what I built during the first year is all they've had for 12 years now while I dig out where my subterranean magma fort is going.

I can't imagine how high their mood will get once my fort is finished, mist generator filled zoo and all.

My current fort is in a emptied magma pool, so fire snakes galore. I've had them destroy at least 50 wooden food and booze barrels (no explosions yet, year 12), all sorts of wood crafts including a wooden artifact, and unfortunately a wooden cage full of terrifying goblins (fun). IIRC cats can't/won't catch fire snakes and in my experience this is true, have yet to see a single fire snake corpse in my refuse pile.

Set the history seed to random, goblin civs will change locations without changing the terrain.

Heres a 4x4, minus the underground river.
Found with Orc Mod, genned same features with Orc+Terrifying Goblins. Never got around to digging much, so don't know about iron.

Don't think you can for the first one. The trees will randomly grow back.
