He has access to the building material, but it is outside his burrow. Oops.

DF Gameplay Questions / Why won't my cook build a kitchen?
« on: April 23, 2011, 12:31:50 pm »
I built temporary kitchen and still to work while I got their more permanent locations dug out. I set up the buildings in their new homes, and set the old buildings to be dismantled.
The dwarf who is my cook and brewer dismantled both old workshops. He built the new still. He won't build the new kitchen.
I haven't changed his labors. I've tried removing the unbuilt workshop and re-designating it. Cook will not build it.
Any ideas?

No one with first name Mafol.
No one with last name Ledaroth.
The miner in question is Alath Rothezum. That has the 'roth' part in common.
Can a migrant walk onto the map with someone else's blood on him? It is possible this is the explanation, since it was the one migrant miner who did the digging.
That's about the only guess that fits the facts.
-EDIT-
Mafol Unibaroth is the Hunter who died within seconds of embark trying to axe an alligator. I suppose the miner could have gone to pick up his clothes and deposited the blood that way.

I should add some details.
This fortress is still in it's first year. I have had no visitors of any sort, aside from a wave of (all present and accounted for) migrants. I have had one death (he was not named Mafol Ragmagics).
So, I am very nearly certain that no dwarf named Mafol Ragmagics has set foot on the map since I embarked. I am also certain that no dwarf named Mafol Ragmagics has been inside the hospital I dug seconds before digging the water source.
The other odd thing is that the aquifer (and the blood) are on the fourth z-level down. There is a river about 10 squares away with a nice waterfall, the cliff being about 20 squares from where I dug up the blood.

I channelled out a few tiles into the aquifer to set up a water source for my hospital. I noticed that two of the walls of the channel have "A smear of Mafol Ragmagics's dwarf blood"
My immediate reaction was, how the hell did some idiot bleed down there? Did he fall in? It's only 1 Z-level and there's a RAMP!
So I looked around for body parts. None.
I looked for signs of blood in the room above. None.
Finally, I looked in the 'u'nit screen for Mafol Ragmagics. None.
Not alive. Not dead.
Is it possible for a dwarf to bleed into an aquifer at world-gen? Has anyone else ever uncovered blood smears while revealing new tiles digging? How would y'all explain this?

I recommend you do some !SCIENCE! Since this isn't terribly difficult to set up, and isn't going to permanently scar your fortress if it doesn't work the way you want, there is very little reason not to just set it up and find out what happens.
You have a question.
You have a hypothesis.
Set it up.
Watch what happens.
Write down what happens.
Tell everybody else what happens.
Scientific Method.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Can you cultivate grass for pastures?
« on: April 17, 2011, 03:11:45 pm »
Thanks for the quick answers. Here's another one I discovered when I started digging around in my new site. I was shaping some earth and moving some ramps and such. I noticed one of the ramps was green. Sure enough, it's growing some surface grass. I guess grass can grow in any soil tiles that are uncovered.
I have not seen any showing up on the tiles that started out exposed, but they are growing in tiles that I've exposed by digging.
To anyone else with the same question, you can channel out your pasture. As long as you're exposing soil tiles, grass will grow.

Oh cool. Just to be sure I don't screw it up:
Will the cave grasses grow only in Dark, Subterranean tiles?
Do I need to irrigate?
Does clay count as soil for this purpose?

I found a beautiful embark site at the junction of three rivers. It's got a fantastic spire with cliffs and waterfalls. And it's in a badland biome. There is not a blade of grass (let alone a tree).
Is there any way to inspire grazable plants to grow in a badland? Can I irrigate?
I fear I'm doomed to placing pastures in the caverns.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Idea for mega-construction
« on: February 06, 2011, 10:28:10 am »(reaction on that site)QuoteI feel like the concept of "make it as thick as the earth to deal with gravity" suggests a lack of attention to high school physics.
Mass creates gravity, sure, but when we're not dealing with a nice, convenient, ball, you're going to have issues with exactly what direction gravity is pulling you. Hollow or not, you will be pulled towards the centre of mass. In the Dyson Sphere, that's the centre of the sun. With the disc it's a bit more of a complex math problem.
I think I have a new idea for my elf trap
The disk isn't actually more complex. The center of gravity is still at the sun.

Missä päin Suomessa olet yleistä? Asuin Kuopiossa pari vuotta, opin puhua hiukan. Varman viännän sannoi Savvon murteella hiukan vielä. Ois kiva juttella, kun ei Utahissa löydy monta joka osaa. Sun kirjoitettu Englanti on täaydellinen. Missä opit puhuun?

This community is the best. You guys seriously rule. Serious thorough answers, and quick. <3
Now I have to decide if playing on my phone is worth $20. (Only seems fair to give Bay12 as much dough as I give Apple if I am doing it just for their game.)
