DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Water Tower And Pressure
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:56:36 pm »
A water tower only needs to be one z above the room/area you plan on flooding. Since you will probably need a pump stack to fill the silo anyway you won't need to worry about it running out of water.

But one measly z level isn't very dwarfly at all, you need to build it with 20 z's and find a way to apply magma.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Advice on megaprojecting...
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:46:27 pm »
I have a school project right now but next week I can start working on the megaproject I'm planning.

I don't want to give anything about the nature of the project away yet... but lets say I'm going to need some advice on building above ground spheres.

Three parts of the project will be above ground, while one will be carved out of the mountain (already read retros wiki page on mining megaprojects... thanks). Also it will cut straight through the caverns until it reaches the magma and I'll leave it open to the magma. Think I might use the magma damming method to stop the cavern waters.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Stranger Moods!

what happens if the two dwarves in "mood love" are seperated by a wall or something and can't path to each other...

Also this sounds alot like the feces argument... So the question really is how far is too far?

In my opinion I think dwarf fortress is fine without the need for people to make sex jokes or poop jokes. I don't want to see it descend into an immature thing. Although feces may add yet another layer of management to an already awesome game, I see no benefit from the implementation of *giggity*.

anything that involves some or all of the following:

Ridiculous size.
Blatant disregard for the safety of the workforce.
Systematic murder of sentient life.
Heavy abuse of exploits.
Magma
Water (sometimes in conjuction with magma)

my tip: diffusion takes forever. even if its on the same zlevel you should use a pump.

Dig the perimeter of a huge circle that spans 20 odd z levels
1 hour later, dig out the bottom level, link support, pull lever
Everything remains intact with only the first z level crushed

did you mine out the top of the circle too?

The day I'm not butchering cats because I need to butcher nobles is the day DF completely loses all sensibility to me.

« on: May 06, 2010, 06:13:13 am »
yeah its buggy... I couldn't get all of mine to train until I had set up multiple barracks in the same room. Something like 9 weapon racks made into rooms.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Cat mass slaughter

Letting them roam the underdark will still allow them to adopt owners. So if they adopt then die, the owner will get a bad thought even if he only knew his pet for 2 seconds.

DF is a rare instance of game where you can win and lose at the same time.
