Life Advice / Re: I seem to enjoy pain - should I bring this up to someone?
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:13:00 pm »
Don't worry too much. I suspect that this means you are a sexual masochist. This is not bad. It does not make you a sick person, etc. That said, you may have problems finding people like you, or your, erm.. ,"best friends (also known as sexual sadists)" especially trustworthy ones, and especially in small towns. I would not reccomend you ignore it entirely- It may cause psychological issues and I doubt you will succeed. Congratulations, you are a rare person. If you're curious, read up on BDSM.

Tried setting it up and I failed, but I'm not much good with such things when sleep deprived. Will try again later today, in the meantime, if anyone is successful, post :D

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.

You need a DM to tame them or no?

That 2010, while awesome, is not as awesome as 40d except for the (REDACTED) stuff. But I'm taking 40d with me on my trip, not 31.04

But first it has to be made reasonable to live off of imported food.

Smelters... I have a smelter thats not forbidden, two furnace operators, 8 bars of charcoal, and a metric ton of magnetite, yet whenever I use the q-a menu on them they say "No tasks available. Check for raw material access and fuel if necessary."
This is bad since I need to train my dwarves in weapons so I can dig down, yet I cant make any! Maybe its a bug...

you need pig iron bars too

Not to make normal iron...
Try deconstruction and reconstruction.

DF Modding / Re: Rock... Bars? Nevermind... he wanted a different metal bar.

That is an utterly useless artifact, unless you can use it in a nobl-I mean, weapons trap.

Need a simpler (but still as effective) and bug-free military before I'd ever upgrade to a version with NPC miners or sappers.

Heph- You don't really think the dwarves are using some sort of fancy martial arts, do you? Maybe one of the REALLY blunt ones, but not anything like judo or akido- too sissy and elven and such.

@Jim Groovester: Use it as stone storage. or better (and more dwarfy) a magma reservoir

I'd have an obsidian tower if I did that. I don't even have magma on that map anyway.

Quote from: Eagle_eye on May 18, 2010, 12:32:48 am
actually, ice walls are impervious to magma.

I have natural ice walls, not constructed. As in I made them with flowing water and pond designations. Those are not impervious to magma.

Unless you have 40d, EVERYONE has magma.

Is the alert set to the one where they are to sleep in the barracks? I don't know of a way besides deconstructing their beds to wake them up and I'm not sure that that does.

Why, isn't it obvious? A super-long path which is completely forbidden to my dwarves and has magma beneath it and fire-bins in it, which closes on both ends as soon as you hit the 75% way through mark (if you last that long) and is never ever cleaned. Caravans and seiges must both go through a pit of hellish heat and molten corpses only to get trapped and killed before they even reach their destination.

Wafers. Also, comprehensible english.

Besides, things which only appear once in DF tend to be lackluster.
