DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Help! Soldier Dwarf wont rest!
« on: February 20, 2012, 06:04:08 pm »
Hey, just started playing again, it's been about a year or so. So much to catch up on.

A giant Thrips beat up Sokkan pretty bad, and he's lost the ability to stand. He was set as the military commander, and the only one in the only squad.

I had sent him to "Station" at a spot and he began to attack them, the Thrips ran off, badly hurt, and Sokkan lay there unmoving.

I've taken away Military commander status and made his squad inactive. He is in a bed in a hospital right now, but the second he was put down he cancelled "Rest" because the Thrips was still alive, albeit halfway across the map.

Sonic cannot diagnose him if he is not resting. Taking away his noblish status of Military Commander has turned his job from "Station (unreachable target)" to "Soldier".

How can I make him rest?

DF Suggestions / Ideas that would be small changes.
« on: June 17, 2010, 12:00:50 pm »
I always wanted doors with character specific locks. In adventure mode this could mean keys. So I could go to a door q, then something like n or p then assign someone(s) to use that door only. Just like workshop profiling.

Also I wish we could name levers. So we don't forget. We can name beds and armor stands and such but not levers.

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma Pumping.
« on: June 02, 2010, 06:46:46 pm »
Never tried pumping before.
Simply because I've never needed to, or never understood tutorials.

So I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to pump magma from 161z levels down, up to around 0 or 3z levels.

DF Gameplay Questions / Fey Dwarf troubles.
« on: June 01, 2010, 08:02:03 pm »
Never had this kinda problem before.
Aaron is asking for silk cloth! body parts! and logs!

I have an overabundance of cloth, both silk, and plant.
I have thread of both types too.
I have tons of logs.
But no body parts yet. Carlos hasn't slaughtered that dog.

Is it because of the body parts?
all the stuff is just tiles away from him. and he already has 3 things of silk.

It was the body parts! Thank you Carlos!

DF Gameplay Questions / River 1z level above? Dangerous?
« on: May 23, 2010, 02:22:21 pm »
I've never had problems with it, but i've never done it for long.

If I dig a tunnel under a brook. past the damp stone, will it ever cause trouble?

General Discussion / Meaning of Life.
« on: May 22, 2010, 02:35:10 am »
I'm not a philosopher but bear with me.

Just finished a huge conversation with Outcast Orange. went on for 4 hours I believe.
Either way, the end of it was the Meaning of life. He said he Survives to be Happy.
I say I survive to survive.

Its basic logic too. As he put it, we're all machines. Programmed to survive.

I am programmed to find survival for my Species. He wants to find Happiness for himself.
If any of you are programmers, imagine it like this:

Survival is the grand scheme
each case is a way to find survival.
so an example of a case is eat food.
But to eat food I must get food.
To get food I must look for food.
To look for food I must move.
To move I must have the ability.

And so on. There are Billions or trillions of different cases for finding survival.
One of them includes getting Outcast to not kill him self by living in a box being happy for the rest of his life. How ever long that may be.

If he is living in a box, he is not surviving or forwarding survival of the species. So he must either be convinced or killed, or some other way to get him to forward his species's survival.

All in all, I want to hear all you your debates about the meaning of life.
But we can't have it getting out of hand. There is no right or wrong answer.
Only other people who are programmed differently.

General Discussion / Sleep Logging.
« on: April 19, 2010, 03:50:22 pm »
So since the 14th I believe, I have been keeping a log of my sleep. I want to find out what conditions spark my nightmares, or happy dreams, or weird dreams. So I keep a note pad near by and I write down which way I'm facing and all other things that aren't there for normal sleep, then fall asleep. I then log everything I can remember in the dream onto the note pad.

On my first day I had a strange occurrence. I saw a bright light in the top left corner of my eyesight, with eyes closed. Second day I slept on right side, and I had a nightmare. It was strange.

Either way, I would like to know, do any of you keep a sleep log?

General Discussion / Started my own village.
« on: February 09, 2010, 07:57:55 pm »
So in the cul-de-sac outside my house, me and my two sisters, and the two kids across the street have been digging tunnels in the snow mountain.

Well today one of the neighbors asked us what the name of the mountain was.
This got me thinking of Civics class. I could make my own village.

So I did. We are a Communist society. Our village name is New Moscow. We live in Mount Moscow. We consist of 5 members. 3 males and 2 females. We speak Russian and English. We use the Cyrillic alphabet.

Sounds pretty stupid huh? Well it's awesome.

Pictures from 2-7-10!
Spoiler: West Side. (click to show/hide)
This is the west side, it is the main side. The hole on the left is the main hole, the one on the right is now finished and is expanding.

Spoiler: Inside indent (click to show/hide)
This is an indent we plan to expand with, the entrance is to the left of this picture. It is the hole on the left of the first picture. Above this one is the tunnel to the top.

This is to the right of the indent. This leads upward in a slope towards the first two holes. The first two holes now lead to the main igloo hole on the east side, (no picture of east side yet.)

Spoiler: Tunnel leading up (click to show/hide)
This is the tunnel leading directly upwards. It is in the main tunnel.

This is the tunnel leading to the tunnel on the right on the first picture, which is now fully carved out, (finally got out that giant piece of ice.), we are now expanding that tunnel.

Spoiler: Looking out. (click to show/hide)
This is looking out of the left tunnel on the first picture. This is the main tunnel. Above me is the tunnel leading straight up. To the right is the indent. to the left are the tunnel to the old tunnels, and the tunnel on the right in the first picture.

General Discussion / Cool thing I stumbled on.
« on: February 01, 2010, 12:08:09 pm »
Now I don't think many of you are going to like it. But here it is anyway.
http://codefromthe70s.org/poke.aspx
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cheat-in-every-computer-game-with-poke/

Basically like that second link says, you can cheat in every single computer game that has been made or is going to be made ever. Forever.

It goes into the RAM and finds the game data and you change the values to what you like. Basically It can go into any process open.

I'm about to try it on Ivan in a bit to see how good it is, but either way it's free.
