DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Fire
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:19:19 pm »
So, I'm looking for ways to start a fire without dumping magma everywhere. Any tips? Willing to say.. dig beneath something and lay stuff 1 zlevel up if that'd work.

Also related- How can I get a burning object into a bin to have the ability to easily clear out flooded places? :D

DF General Discussion / Prepackaged DF
« on: May 22, 2010, 02:45:47 pm »
I am looking for prepackaged Dwarf Fortress.. packages with tilesets for Macintosh. 28.40d or 31.04, don't care, both is frankly best, but if anyone knows where I can get one, preferably with a set like Mayday, especially in dimensions, I would appreciate it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Large numbers of important people bleeding to death
« on: May 15, 2010, 10:11:17 am »
It just happened, for no apparent reason. Every single one of my dwarves bled to death for no apparent reason in under 5 seconds.

I have no idea what could have caused this.

DF General Discussion / Tower City
« on: May 13, 2010, 08:00:51 pm »
Anyone ever done one of these? I decided on a whim to do a tower, and stuck a depot up there with a ramp, and am now working on a wind farm and dormitories, on giant floating floors. For extra Fun caveins are on, and everything is stacked on top of each other, out in each direction from a 3x3 tower.

I believe ramps cause a total loss of pressure.

Discuss?

DF General Discussion / [SPOILERS] So I decided to find out what [REDACTED] actually was
« on: May 10, 2010, 07:41:17 pm »
So I decided to figure out what hell actually looked like. Embarked in a glacier with limestone (random chance) with seven picks and seven miners. I dug through three tunnels, hit a tube of Adamantine, and dug into it. Some sort of pathing error had kept 3 of my workers up top with the 20/40 food/drink and their picks. Realizing I was royally effed by the demons, I decided to save those three. A hurried excavation yielded enough ice to wall off the stairway down to the pit, I had the three on top nearly kill each other, and did kill a lot of my dogs. They're all quite content now, though, despite a total lack of beds. Attempting to figure out just how ideal I can make it. I really need to get a PERFECT place to do a fort. Good, relatively straight wall with soil on top, 1zlvl above the rest.. river just outside to be redirected at my will... volcano nearby for maximum fun...

I have made minor modifications to the raws (okay, not so minor..) and they do not seem to take effect. Even three worlds later. Any ideas?

Alright. Training Marksdwarves. Now. How does one allow these fine people to shoot down, at enemies passing through a path below?

DF General Discussion / Log Difficulties
« on: July 03, 2009, 04:37:14 pm »
Alright, I am a dirty rotten exploiter. I tried to use the quantum dump exploit. I marked the logs for dumping manually, not a whole lot of them, I know about the mass dump thing, and set up a zone.

It's not showing up as a job. It's like they're forbidden. They're not. I checked. Can't use them for building. But it's still not a job. Help?

DF Gameplay Questions / Ultimate Megaproject
« on: July 03, 2009, 12:43:57 pm »
Set population cap at 7, start with an anvil.

Build a fucking plane.

3x4 support pillar. Everything else is channeled/dug out. 3x4 so I can have stairs for disembarkation and embarkation.

Have the top floor of the plane devoted to growing and preparing food. Have an open meeting area on top with wind-guards so as to prevent accidents. Bottom floor is barracks, very front of the plane is the Captain's spot (leader, bookkeeper, etc. all in one)
Middle floor has storage and rooms in the back, and a dining room in the middle. Minimal workshops for nescesities at the front behind the cockpit.

It shall be win.

It shall be named...

LUCIFER AIRLINES!

Go, Ilfar.
