DF General Discussion / Re: What turns you off about DF?
« on: October 15, 2009, 10:50:48 am »
Posting without reading more than the first page. Apologies.

Biggest problem: Shape of the difficulty curve. From hard/easy based on player knowledge, or randomly starting next to a fire imp. What I see in the dev log indicates that this is being addressed with better sieges and HFS for military, but what about non-violent challenge?

Other thoughts:

Graphics/Init/Mods: in game options screen to configure/select.

v/k/q/t: merge these query modes. Have one key to enter query mode, and then allow to change which query you are using (buildings, jobs, dwaves, etc), or just report for whatever is under the cursor, and allow tabbing between the different available options (ie: building contents, jobs).

Filters/autocomplete: rather than navigate through a large tree of options, use the same interface as the job manager (j-m-q). This assumes you know the name of what you want, so probably best to make it optional (as in the trading screen).

Toady: I noticed some people on the forum were worrying about the lack of updates.

Hah. He is watching us suffer with glee :)

I think one of the new HFS is going to be a lack-of-updates-beast. All of the combat text will be behind little spoiler tags.

My understanding is that since he can't stop using his lung, he can't rest it to heal. I belive if you turn of their breathing requirement in the raws, it can be healed normally.

This whole new need to explore, even in fort mode (awesome) makes me wonder, will we be able to directly order dwarves to go to a place or stay out of a place? Beyond burrows you'd need some way to order exploration.

also worth noting the guy who bridged elves over, should you ever need it (although you'd have to abandon, which isnt so useful)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What do you think Plump Helmets taste like?
« on: October 06, 2009, 10:40:32 am »
Ug. mushrooms are not my kind of food, so I try not to imagine what they taste like.

Probably cave scrapings.

Although purple is a strong contender. Maybe they just sprinkle purple on the ground, the mushrooms grow naturally, so its really just symbiotic flavour seeds.

Hanging is what its supposed to be. Is it not producing power?

The backwards targets is confirmed on my fortress (modded with orcs, melting rocks, and a bunch of custom stuff, so I doubt we've got the same changes)

Urist McBrubeck cancels sleep: Jam session.

This is a Brass saxophone. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. On the item is an image of dwarves. The dwarves are jamming.

Nice.

Question: Will instruments have a different material bonus progression, like weapons, but with brass or silver on top?

What is the density and hardness of our favourite blue metal? Will it be good for guitars?

Good to know about that one..

I always forbid stuff I dont want used. If you still have that save, could you see if forbidding the locked-away material made a difference?
