DF Gameplay Questions / Two more questions.
« on: October 04, 2009, 11:44:36 am »
1) So, I get a message that a Kobolt thief is in my fortress. Not really sure what this mean, I expected my dwarfs to do something, but they didn't. no big deal, I have no idea what he stole, but I didn't have anything too good anyway. So, I make a few of my people into recruits. The next one comes along a while later, and he passes right by the recruits and they do nothing to stop him.  :/
1a) How do I make my dwarfs kill these thieves?
1b) How to I tell what they stole?

2) I now have some artifacts due to a possessed dwarfs. I know I can see these using the "l" key. How do I tell where they are and take measures to better protect them? Also, are they just super valuable "normal" items? Or do they do anything different?

Again, thank you in advanced.

DF Gameplay Questions / I thought I knew how cave-ins worked, obviously not.

So, I wanted to work on flattening my map a bit more (mostly for aesthetic purposes) and there was a two level hill that I was going to mine out of existence. Now, I started AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL which was roughly 9x9 in size. It collapsed, killing my two best miners, one of whom was my only good gem guy. Can someone please explain this to me? Thank you.

And a second question. I decided to try my hand at building above-ground structures. So, I am building this thing (damn it takes al ong time/lot of stone) and I finish my second story+roof. Now I realize, I can't place workshops, piles, or anything else inside of it. Am I doing something wrong? Or are they just totally useless?

DF Gameplay Questions / A noob with a few problems/questions...

Alright, I started my first fortress and pretty much all is going well except a few things.

1) I have one miner (the first person my "u" list) who is about six level down underground, and he will not come back up. There are plenty of jobs to do, but he always says "no jobs" in that "u" menu. He just sits there, if I set a job for him to do DOWN THERE he will do it, but not up higher. Why can't I get him back up? I asume he will starve soon.

2) Again, in the "u" menu I have two people's names flashing, why is this? They have been flashing for some time now.

Thank you.
