DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How to stay entertained in DF
« on: March 28, 2010, 02:22:59 pm »
Firstly please don't take this as me saying Df is boring, in fact I think it might be one of the best games ever made.... ever! But for years now I've tried to get my self into the hacky slashy base building fun but I always seem to end up minimizing it to look up how to trade or acquire wealth and I just end up doing something else. As a side note I have not fully grasped the basics of dwarf fortress yet, as previously stated I do not understand trading and wealth. I've also tried attempting something new, like building a water fall (my first time  ??? little scared that my dwarfs will die). So the community how did you find your self able to play dwarf fortress for such a long time and have it hold your attention? Also if you could give me some hints on how to make it more enjoyable (I'm not ready for mega-projects and the like) please drop a comment. Lastly I would like to thank the spell check for all it's done fore me  ;D

DF Gameplay Questions / How to edit Dwarfs gender.
« on: March 26, 2010, 05:56:29 pm »
Well I have a lot of females (as you might know from my thread in the troubleshooting place) and I'm wondering if it might be something gone wrong by maygreen, the tile set. So I'm wondering how i can get to the files that show a gender tag by my dwarfs? if you do know and would Like to tell me please, please tell me in step by step instructions like so.

File1>file2>file3>dwarf gender

Thanks

DF Bug Reports / [Mayday tile set] everying is female!
« on: March 25, 2010, 09:01:17 am »
I'm sorry I didn't tell you the version, I think it's the newest one (of mayday that is). Also some of you might remember this thread from a while back, it didn't quite get resolver  :P. Since then I've reinstalled Df quite a few times, but one problem is I can't delete all the original files for the original Df because when I downloaded it I didn't put it in a folder so all the files are all over the place. (Actual game problem down here) So what I've noticed is that every living thing in my game is always female at the start any ways, is there a tag for this in the raw? What happens usually is I'll start out with all females (I just you the "embark" button I never plan) then maybe if I'm lucky I'll get one maybe two males in an immigration. Although it's not uncommon to just have female. So can you help me?

PS: I'll be gone for a while so wont be able to respond, but will appreciate the suggestions when I get back. Also how can I check gender other then pressing "v"?

thank you.

DF Gameplay Questions / Do I need more workshops?
« on: December 29, 2009, 06:08:47 pm »
All of my forts only seem to last to about 50 people before something goes wrong (mostly wells  >:() but that's another thread. The problem I face is once I reach a population of about 50 I don't have any more jobs for my dwarfs, it's become self sufficient IE I can feed every one and every one has place to sleep. I usually only have one type of each workshop (sometimes two for masonry). So should I have more workshops if so which ones and how come? (other then brewery i have plenty of those) Also I tend to be very slow in producing weapons/ armor for my military, again I only have one of each workshop. If I had more would my production speed up? Just gonna slip in another question here. It says in the wiki a well can still draw water from a source as long as the source is under the well, give or take a few z levels. My water source was 2 z levels down from my well and dwarfs would say complain about there being no water in the well. Yes the water source was 7/7.     

If you've read this far thanks for being so patient and hopefully helpful  ;D

DF Gameplay Questions / Fortress still full of women
« on: December 21, 2009, 09:14:58 pm »
Some of you might have remembered my old thread about my fortress souly consisting of women (oh god my grammar was so bad back then =P). After that fortress fell I stop playing for a while and uninstalled, recently I have reinstalled the game and started a few new fortress. Only to my horror to realize that my fortress can't have no babies and is still only chicks. I have never installed any other mods other then maygreen (tile set) so other then that the game should be running smoothly. Ok so if any one could help me out with this one I would appreciate it, thanks.

DF Gameplay Questions / I'm back and I have questions
« on: January 29, 2009, 08:57:14 pm »
Well don't know if any one noticed but I've been gone for a little while now no reason just haven't been active. Any ways so my fortress has come to a halt I collected a lot of wood so my woodcutters didn't have a job for a while and now when I tell them to cut wood they just sit in my dinning hall and do shit this is annoying because I need to make axes for those snackers and I can't make charcoal so I can't melt the hematite into iron bars so yeah might just switch to propain  ;D. Sorry lack of punctuation.

DF Gameplay Questions / Christmas
« on: December 17, 2008, 09:42:37 pm »
Well the holidays are coming up and i wanted to spread the joy to my dwarfs seeing as how they so obediently follow my beer less rule only going crazy once or twice....or three times But that's not the point I'm trying to make the point is Can I have a Christmas like celebration in my fortress? if not is there any Christmas like activates I could do. Also i would like to hear about things you have done in your fort involving holidays.

DF Gameplay Questions / No weapons
« on: December 16, 2008, 10:39:03 pm »
Well my military aren't using any of the weapons i have assigned them. I have made a few battle axes but there not picking them up there just sitting in my stockpile (the axes). Most of my military is female and they have had some children (for you who read my bug report about my fortress all being females it was just a huge coincidence because i have a baby boy) so would a mother who is carrying a baby also be able to carry a weapon?

DF Gameplay Questions / Every one is going crazy
« on: December 15, 2008, 11:53:47 pm »
so basically im still on my first fort kinda grown attached to it i have a pop of 39 and have survived a few instances where i thought that would be the end. So im coming to this forum *again* to keep my fortress alive basically a lot of my population is suddenly going crazy. My theory is that this is a chain reaction to three dwarfs who killed them self or where locked down in the flooding half of my fortress. I have heard of the legendary dining hall but im to much of a noob to make a fountain and a good flooring and walls so please all ideas will be much appreciated. In 20 minutes 5 more people have gone crazy! 

edit: I basically have this large scale beer rush to try to calm every one down to sum up my fort and the chaotic-ism imagine going to an old folk home and taking away all there meds and playing death medal

DF Gameplay Questions / Weapons
« on: December 15, 2008, 08:20:33 pm »
Yea yea i know its nooby but I dont get the weapon system how do i equip weapons to my dwarfs or how do i know if the weapon is even equipped? I know i have to press "m" but I can just assign all my dwarfs battle axes that I know i dont have. So if i assign one of my weapons in m will they come get it once it's made?

Edit: just made it easier to read

DF Gameplay Questions / Drowning
« on: December 14, 2008, 04:41:12 pm »
So I installed a chalk well for my dwarfs to drink out of so they dont get attacked by deer. It was all going well until the lake i was draining for water went dry so i decided to make a channel from the river to my well so just to be safe i installed a flood gate to stop any water from entering my for But it went over the well and into my fort. So i locked down my fort with flood gates and half my fort (with a few peasents in there) is filling up with water so i was wondering how can i stop this large amount of water going into my fort so one day i can recover all my stone (will it still be there after the flood?)

edit: just read over this and i sayed fort a lot!  ;D
