here is an epic post i did on this stuff from another thread.

new report - i have been able to heal bleading wounds after pulling out crossbow bolts through travelling, and have been able to travel-heal flashing mortal wounds to my heart delt by human hammernen (with silver mauls. seriously, everyone in my world has silver weapons. silver arrows, axes, swords.. i even started with them, its mental)

this is using the latest update toady put out, with the gfx pack from mike mayday. if the new minor update does not contain some kind of fix here, then it just might possibly be infections. people dont seem to be able to heal those in adventure mode at all... anyone got any new experimental data to add? im still collecting mine.

also, while cloth can be wrapped around wounds, the consensus has been it does not seem to stop bleeding or help much, but keep trying. we dont know everything about health in this release yet, specially in adventure mode.

EDIT: after a rather epic fight, a smashed thumb, which shows up as a compound fracture in the health screen, has not healed wheras multiple other stuff, including a bleeding leg from a bronze bolt, has. so... serious wounds normaly needing treatment dont heal? im guessing a bone sticking out of a thumb would require setting before it could get better.

EDIT EDIT: so travelling a lot more and sleeping in towns, the compound fractures and another bolt wound in my foot have healed to a point, then show as infected and will heal no further. i found a human surgeon and pursued every conversation option, but there is nothing do do there. bleeding wounds still seem to heal when i travel, although i have healed a lot of them without travelling. so perhaps really bad injuries, comparable to compoud fracture, will not heal with travel...

Easy mode: Set Titan number to 300-400 or even 1000 on world parameters. Enjoy all the ruined civilizations.

Of course, then you have to deal with the ensuing waves of titan attacks.

aaaand this is considered bad how exactly?

i thought this game was about FUN.

heh, i just tried adventure mode just now.

my dwarven city was walled in, so no jobs from there.

i travelled to what i thought was a cave, fought an epic hydra battle on top of a small hill with a flat diorite top. lightening flashed as fangs and claws met cold silver(?) short sword.

killed the hydra. hooray, new combat reports are epic. kept the corpse and the severed heads, drank some of its blood, and found only little alcoves rather then a cave.

local human towns seem to have had buildings destroyed, shops are empty and everywhere i go i hear crundles getting stuck in webs. next town i try sleeping in, and after 5 minuites of waiting it seems the game is still trying to figure things out. i need to trade in my silver short sword for an iron one at least...

its nice to see a detailed account of someone elses experiences. im hoping to reach the bottom of the world unasisted and triumph over whatever i find down there.

has anybody yet seen where you find bones and shells in the stockpiles menu?

its been asked a bunch of times now, by the silence i guess everyone is equally flumoxed.

you can get them into refuse piles sometimes, but they still dissapear if the refuse pile is outside, which is less then ideal. this is important! with the currently insanely user infriendly interface for the military, and the fact war dogs can no longer bite through standard clothing, a tantrumming dwarf is more dangerous then ever before.

to everyone finding hunters cant hunt - they need a quiver or they wont carry bolts. as in previous versions, hunters seem to grab wooden or bone bolts (mine did once i gave him a quiver), but you can set them now to accept metal ones.

its been posted twice in this thread so far. confused me a whole lot as well, in the old version a dwarf would carry a stack of bolts in his/her hand, and failing that would run out and bash elks and deer to death with the empty crossbow.

this thread lists a bug that also stops hunters from hunting, although im yet to encounter it -

my question is somewhat relevant to nicks. i cannot find out how to create refuse piles that will accept only bones and turtle shells. in previous versions i would have an indoor stockpile that would be full of bones and shells which would take from the outdoor stockpile after corpses and the like had rotted away. there no longer appears to be bones, shells or skulls on the refuse item menu, yet shells are definately making it into the refuse stockpiles outside.

anyone figures that one out and i will be eternally gratefull, i want my bones and shells indoors so they dont dissapear next season, if that still happens now.

sweet jesus. why did i have to check this now.

i have friends coming over in like half an hour, and they are staying around all day. now all i am going to be thinking of is how much i want them to go home, so i can try out the new df version.

toady, what have you done to me.

i drempt that a giant green letter U was folliwing me around my house while i was trying to get things done. it kept saying "excuse me, a moment of your time please..?" in a posh british accent.

stupid human liasons.
