DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Give me back that rope!
« on: July 19, 2009, 08:43:57 pm »
I tethered a Giant desert scorpion in front of my fort to keep a lookout for thieves, but wasn't happy with its position. So I deconstruct the rope, assuming that it would just appear on the ground like it normally does, but it appears in the scorpion's inventory instead. Is there any way to get that rope back? I've already tried forbidding and dumping it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Ah, memories
« on: June 07, 2009, 09:58:06 pm »
We were all new to DF at some point, so let's share our stories of out first fortresses and the confused blunders contained within.

Mine: I had a fair idea of what I was supposed to be doing due to being helped along through the first few steps and had further help from the ? menu. Anyway, after digging out some rooms for my dwarves (without doors, didn't know I needed 'em) I sent one out to find the underground pool my brother showed on the embark screen. I found it and was so exited I decided to immediately begin fishing operations. One giant olm came up out of the pool and killed a miner and I was instantly freaked out enough to order my dwarves to withdraw from the world and locked my dwarves inside for most of a season. In that time I got bored quickly and decided to mine into the "other features" that were also shown in the embark screen. I got the message: "you have struck adamantine! Praise the miners!" I decided to throw caution to the wind and mine it all out. I hit the HFS and abandoned, I didn't know that losing was fun at the time, however.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Damn Elves...
« on: May 31, 2009, 04:12:01 pm »
I just got back from a cave full of both giants and the goodies they stole, most of which were made of wood. Because of a war during worldgen, many of the people in the human city I went to were elves, including the weapons dealer. I try to sell him some of the crafts for a better sword, and he said: "What was once a lovely tree has been turned to trash only suitable for your kind" or something like that. I then proceeded to kill him and get shot in the liver, stomach, and pancreas.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Werewolf? Where?!
« on: May 26, 2009, 09:17:32 pm »
I randomly started getting cancellation massages like:
Urist McClerk cancels store item in bag: Interruped by werewolf
But when I looked in the units screen, there were no werewolves.
I zoomed to my clerk and noticed many chunks; when I loo<k>ed at them, they were werewolf chunks. Long story short: thank you dogsplosion

This is one of my favorite comics, and when reading through it for about the third time I discovered this page in particular, and thought it should be shared.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / The age of the Goblins
« on: May 20, 2009, 12:49:51 am »
In my current world it is the age of the Goblin: There is only the goblins and my seven dwarf party. No dwarven, human, or hell, even elven civs to trade with. And I have no anvils. would adding in a smelter reaction to get an anvil require a regen?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What sould I do about this mandate?
« on: May 07, 2009, 09:47:27 pm »
My Mayor has mandated steel items, but I have neither flux nor a forge. Remember: I DON'T want to kill her because she is a very easy to please for a semi-noble. Her interests:
Selenite, Steel, star ruby, blue shark leather, helms, thrones, large gems and cats.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / About Souls
« on: May 04, 2009, 10:29:56 am »
In the next update there might be souls in most if not all creatures, so I was wondering if anyone would have moral issues with wanton slaughter, since any DF player worth his rock salt has annihilated a fortress in a fit of boredom, taken joy in slaughter, or is unaffected by the suffering of others virtual dwarves

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What to do with my caged Kobold
« on: April 25, 2009, 01:34:35 pm »
I have this kobold in a cage, and I'm wondering what I should do with it. I (sadly) don't have a GCS, but I do have magma and an underground river. Any Ideas?

In case you're wondering, my wrestlers knocked it unconscious on a cage trap.
