DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Having a manager worth it?
« on: February 01, 2016, 01:04:25 pm »
I use it often because setting to make 30 barrels is a lot easier than spamming the keyboard over every workshop to make 10 barrels each.  Similar with sets of clothing.

Have a friend (or cat) pick your site for you?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Different drakes?
« on: December 15, 2015, 12:16:12 am »
DF people like to be smart.  It's not a stupid question or silly confusion.

Drakes (both fire and cold) were included in Tolkein's lore so it is not unheard of to have Drakes be synonymous with Dragons.  A lot of computer role-playing games have had Drakes.

But true, any big fatty that has regularly snacked on Drake's Cakes of any kind (Funny Bones are my favorite), would recognize it with the Baker Duck character.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: dwarves won't haul werebeast corpse

This caught me too until I found the magical trigger (setting a corpse pile).

Yeah I was confused by the instructions to use a "chest full of mugs" or whatever.  I eventually used a stockpile for all mugs and, once put in a bin, they started counting toward the tavern stocks, I think.

DF General Discussion / who is the dwarf fortress.txt twitter feed ?
« on: October 22, 2014, 04:52:41 pm »
Like the subject says.  Who is in charge of the "dwarf fortress.txt" twitter feed?
I couldn't find any info on it.

It sounds to me like Three-Toe tweeting about his testing of current Dwarf Fortress versions but I'm not sure...

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: trouble dumping
« on: October 03, 2014, 01:04:46 am »
Take a suppository.
I would prefer a solution that doesn't require putting things up my keister.

You will need to set your orders to 'Dwarfs gather refuse from Outside'.  If you want them to dispose of vermin from inside you will need to toggle the vermin setting as well.  It's a bug (presumably) that was introduced in the latest version.
And... thank you that did the trick!
(I must have done that in the last fort as well, because I remember having this problem and it magically disappearing.)

DF Gameplay Questions / trouble dumping
« on: October 02, 2014, 08:11:00 pm »
I'm having trouble dumping in the latest version.  I've done it many times before but for some reason the dump jobs are not generating.  People have haul stone labor active.  Anybody else having this problem?

Maybe the filming was for "Rise of the Indies" film that already interviewed him once?

DF General Discussion / Re: What brought you to DF?

Read an article in Games For Windows magazine about the Adams brothers and their deeply complex game.  I enjoyed roguelikes so I figured it was something interesting.  This was back when it was 2D and 3D version was so new the website had a warning "not to use it yet" due to it being unstable.

@Yerv you're probably right, for a film to get an audience you need to pick games that people know about and want to see.  I think Dwarf Fortress has enough references in gaming culture that although it might not be "popular" in the indie scene sense... it is recognizable!  It would be nice to know if Tarn was contacted and planning on having an interview with the movie crew.

Tarn and Zach are mentioned in comments for this I wonder if they are going to be interviewed?  Perhaps they could make their way into this film !

DF General Discussion / Re: Notch advertised DF on twitter
« on: July 23, 2013, 02:01:52 pm »
I don't know much about Notch but he tweeted this a week ago ...
News update: creator of one of my favorite games dislikes mine. Tears everywhere.

Anybody know who he is referring to?
