You couldn't take the queen with your pawn because it would have placed your king in jeopardy.

DF General Discussion / Re: Lavasquare.exe help
« on: May 09, 2010, 02:37:37 pm »
It's possible that lavasquare.exe is designed for the more recent version. And the more recent version allows you to build more than 30 levels down.

DF Modding / Re: Newbie Question!
« on: May 09, 2010, 09:00:19 am »
So... I've heard of memory editors that can edit jobs for dwarves, clean tiles of blood, etc, but I can't create an object already defined by vanilla DF? Sad.

DF Modding / Newbie Question!
« on: May 09, 2010, 08:06:42 am »
I'd like to do some crazy experimentation with 'vanilla' DF. Is there a tool, memory hack, whatever, that enables a sort've "god mode" where you can create anything you want, anywhere you want? A super-arena mode you can use in dwarf-fortress mode? (i.e. The ability to create non-weapons/armor in any place, etc. More specifically (though not actually) for example, a tower-cap barrel of fire imp fat, or a tin bin of granite mechanisms, or such.)

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Increasing framerates... without money - fortress design for fast pathfinding
« on: May 02, 2010, 09:39:39 pm »
I think I do remember 'newest first' being something I saw in 40d. It's been a long time though, and I don't know if it's in v31, since I've hardly touched that.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Untapping HFS?
« on: May 02, 2010, 09:07:00 pm »By Amok, we must turn hell into obsidian.
Suggestion for mega project: Make your entire hell layer into pure obsidian.
That's actually my plan for handling hell. Dig to a pipe, fortifications on one side, set up the massive magma/water plumbing to those fortifications, and start building myself an obsidian flavored layer cake.
At least, I think I remember hearing that fortifications don't count as breaching the tube. Hope not.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Putting more fun in Hidden Fun Stuff [spoilers]

1. Procedural generation needs guidance. Pure 'random' isn't as fun as 'randomly selected from a limited list based on point values to make the demons balanced'.
2. Facehuggers and possession can't go into the game until magic does.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Undergrotto: An experiment in terraforming (image-heavy)
« on: April 30, 2010, 06:57:39 am »
I don't know the first thing about pits, dropping goblins, or blood spatter, but... the failure to bloody the water in the shrine, when you dropped the goblins into the pool? Perhaps a single tile simple 'altar' of some kind (perhaps made of hidden fun metal, or something simpler if mining said metal would be 'bad') directly on the drop point would ensure splattering?

That explains the problems they're having with that oil rig leak they have in the Gulf. (

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How pressure plates work?
« on: April 29, 2010, 05:06:54 pm »
I had this exact problem the first (and only) time I built a well. This was back in 40d.
First, make sure you actually set the numbers on the pressure plate.
If the numbers didn't work, flip them around. (If you chose 1-2, choose 2-7). I'm not sure which one works, but I remember that being my exact issue.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: To avoid melting rain, which file/folder do I need to update?
« on: April 29, 2010, 05:03:15 pm »Turn WEATHER off.
But do it at the moment with no rain, otherwise the rain will stay.
Pretty sure that the bug will still exist if you turn weather off. The heat is the more important issue.
The bug is 'hot wicked witch syndrome'. Wet dwarfs melt in heat. It doesn't matter where the water comes from, and rain is only one of many sources of water.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Zinc does not vaporize?
« on: April 26, 2010, 04:53:55 am »
Neither zinc nor aluminum seem to melt in the arena. There may be other materials as well.
Realize, I believe temperatures in this version are very very wonky at the moment. See, for example, the fact that no one actually catches fire, or the whole 'acid rain' problem where any wet dwarf boils alive in any sort've sahara-like environment.
