Bay 12 Games Forum

Easy as 1-2-3!
Needs a bucket, and water source, like medical.
then [d] clean [C], then drag an area you want cleaned.
A dwarf with cleaning skill, shall go, get water, and clean one square.
Soap + water = 3x3 of clean.

Then those miles of blood and vomit and mud will vanish given sufficient water, buckets, and dwarves.

How's that for an idea?

Only thing I think it needs, is can only be done to "floor", "Wall", "ramp/stair" aka NOT normal ground or grass... unless you really wanted to punish the dwarves perhaps...

I just got my first Human wagon for a new fortress.

Holy crap! You doped their horses! They arrived in 22 seconds to the center of the map, whilst weaving between trees mind you, with mule merchants trailing behind hella slow! heck, their guards couldn't keep up. This sir, is awesome!

Not that that is a bad thing mind you, but it is a bit of a surprise.

It was long at first, then faster, then faster still. Are we on a logarithmic curve Toady?

Will your updates quickly reach infinite and thus be complete soon?

Only time may tell... oh, and Good Night/Morning to you all.

I'll keep this quick.

I was playing a Desert Haunted Map.
Some Giant Scorpions, no real problem.

Then came winter.

The River then was covered by thin ice. My First thought was to shrug, eh, it's winter.

But wait I thought, I have no river.

Nonsense says the combat log. (sorry bout the size, but it's a tiny png!)
 

So now I sit in a desert of snow, with former horses eating my few dwarves.

I am using no mods, no file manipulators, only a tileset from the forum for quite some time now (January at the least).

I am of course going to make a new world and try again. But I figured that this might be of some entertainment to you people. And of course the Toadster.

I'll make a copy of the entire game dir (minus the giant arse maps) and keep it in case someone wants to poke at it.

Thank you for your ear,

Mick E Finn

[edit: I see that I have at least one mule and horse alive, so it might not be the animals. But I did see nightwings spawn in the middle of my fort, directly upon some of my dwarves, the poor buggers.

As there were only two they might be something only two have, like a particular shoe or something. I dunno.

Oh and the nightwing warnings prior to the river ice was the one three crossbowers shot to death in front of my fortress.  That's why I was near the 'g' when the other two appeared inside the fortress.

It's past the late and is now very late.

I shall check posts in the morning.]

oh, and this world is rather neat... Allow me to be a tour guide.
-Many Volcanoes ( at least 14 with a quick look). One in the Sea, two (one bright red, one dim red) so close a 3x3 could get both(SW of the big center ocean), one in a jungle, and in the very SE corner, one in a glacier, surrounded by mountains.

-North of that, are some yellow mountains, and a bit west of those are some blue ones with what appears to be an evil lake (that or heavily polluted).

-Northwest of that, you can find a range of good AND evil mountains separated by a river, and a little sand (a 5x5 could touch both...). The area, upon examination, appears to be a central point of a battleground if you look at it right (or some sort of large nuclear explosion in the shape of australia)

-In the very SW corner, if you look a wee bit north, there are two bits of Evil glacier surrounded by mountains, trees, and a river. I've never seen glacier so isolated like that before.

-And if you were ever interested in a tundra island, that's right, island surrounded by artic ocean, we got that too.

Have fun y'all!

There's plenty of good seeds people are finding hither and yon, but what of the most timeless (and time consuming) of them all? The Seeds of Many Rejection.

This is my first one to crack a hundred, 105 to be exact, of a dozen creations. A testament of Toady's work no doubt.

So how about it? What's the Longest you've had to wait? 50? A hundred like mine? More?
