DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Alcohol Industry: Troubles w/ Barrels
« on: July 17, 2010, 10:56:01 pm »
  • Make more barrels.
  • Set up a barrel reserve.
  • Set up bigger food stockpile for drinks.
  • Get a job manager.
  • Keep your woodcutter busy as well as your carpenters.
  • Go to stockpile menu (p), and reserve barrels
  • Limit ALL other food stocks from too many barrels.
  • Build separate barrel stockpile.
  • Set barrel reserve of alcohol stockpile to half.
  • Investigate metal barrels
That's what I got out of it. Phew... Well, I have plenty of things to look into to try to fix the problem. Appreciate the answers, everyone!

DF Gameplay Questions / Alcohol Industry: Troubles w/ Barrels
« on: July 16, 2010, 05:00:51 pm »
Alright, well we all know Dwarves love alcohol. That there's a fact. But well, erm, but the beloved leader I am, I didn't exactly begin producing it for some time. I got too busy with setting up my fancy work areas 'n whatnot. Now that I have a large food industry, everyone seems to need barrels. Now this causes a problem.

I just don't seem to have enough barrels. What barrels are made are almost always taken by some other worker to be used in his industry while keeping my alcohol industry down. So, what can I do to fix this? I have two woodcraft workshops as is with a population of 50. They're set to auto make barrels Do I need more workshops?

Any help would be appeciated.

Awww really? That's a shame. So I really need to figure these burrows out. As to how would I set one up to pretty much designated it as my frontline?

DF Gameplay Questions / Ambush!

Well, I've had an ambush. Now it's been a bit since I've had one. I know there's a command to make your civilians take cover inside your fortress, but what's the command?

Alright, so I currently have version 0.31.10. which I think I got maybe 2 weeks back or so. So pretty new. Now, if I was to update myself to the most current version, would my save be corrupted at all? I don't want to lose my work.

Also, when I go to download, I always get SDL Windows. But what's Legacy? What's different about it than SDL, and what does SDL even stand for? I really never thought about it until now.

Near future, alright. Well thanks. Actually knowing the military is broken is a lot nicer than not, and trying to uselessly get my men to train. Well I agree. Let's hope he fixes the military soon! I can't afford another defeat to the goblins.

Oh, military is 100% broken then? (Aside from the ability to kill at a moments notice). Ugh, time to spam traps!

Ugh, no luck. Can someone give me a step by step solution as to how to make a functional military? From scratch would be best.

DF Gameplay Questions / Problems with Military
« on: July 03, 2010, 03:42:22 pm »
No matter the amount of wiki reading/checking about the forum, I just can't seem to understand. Sure, I've heard a lot of good things about the new system about how much freedom it gives a player, but gawd it sure is complicated to figure out. So here's my problem, pretty basic one.

I have three assigned dwarfs to my military called the 'Polished Lashes'. No matter the amount of toying I do with their options, they refuse to train or stand guard and just dump items for me.

Here's some of the settings I have.

  • I have a militia commander set as a noble.
  • There's two other dwarfs in the squad (captain making the 3rd)
    • On the Active/Training option, I have Train
    • I have a burrow right outside my main gate called 'Frontlines'. It should be used by my military to defend if need be.
      • Their schedule is set to train all year.
      • They should sleep only in the barrack at need.

    So really, I need my military to begin training. I've already had one fort lost to the merciless goblins, and I don't want it to happen again.

Ah, oh well! Thank you. Another question.

Well, I've heard about people throwing prisoners/whatever off high towers. Now that sounds pretty badass. I'd love to participate in it. So how exactly do I make a tower, and how high does it need to be? Tips? Ideas? Links?

Is there any way to clean up sand? I'd like to have my hallways clean of it, so if it's possible, that'd be fantastic.

d-b-d did the trick, thank you ;) And I looked up melting, I'll have to get a furnace for sure to make more use of the stuff I'd otherwise discard.
