DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Fire imps, more orcs
« on: October 24, 2009, 08:25:27 pm »
Which reminds me that I had just started to wall it off, when I stopped playing for the evening. As soon as I acquire a disposable animal, I'll try that, though. I only have one cat at the mo, and I like it for its vermin killing goodness.

Edit: Particularly because my vermin can destroy barrels, it seems.

It is when I have no bauxite and want it to be ready asap, and have a "safe" way of doing it already.

I'm stuck with the notion that "it respawns unless proven otherwise" ... In the case of chasms that was more hope, as I only embark on them when I want violence.

Since they don't, it's probably worth getting a couple of soldiers stationed near the pipe (exposed to the surface, imps occasionally wander out) to send in and clear them whenever I get a chance.

People blaming wooden weapons and elf specific fighting nerfs... They still outnumbered a guy 84 to 1 and decided to flee. To me at least, that's the wierd part, moreso than that they lost that many to such a small group.

Forbidden? Unreachable? Dwarves with animal hauling off? Uh... Outside with "dwarves stay indoors"? I can't think of anything else, at the moment.

This will probably sound sarcastic, but... The suggestions forum? Although you want input from other people, it is in the end, a suggestion  :P

Just to be clear, you do have your standing (o)rders set to "Dwarves gather f(u)rniture", right?

That's probably the second most logical suggestion so far... and it took this long. :-\

They count as cages, it's just a material specific name. As for stockpiling, not really sure, but I think they go into animal stockpiles. If you're trying something that makes sense ("Furniture stockpile" "Cage stockpile") that could be why.

Don't have a fortification, I always channel from above without ever having my dwarves go into the soon-to-be-magma-filled tunnel. I just make sure there's no open space the imps could ("should be able to" it seems) get through. My guess is that they can go in up a z level and across an x/y in one move, meaning that what appears to be closed off (like a diagonal) is actually a gap. Which also means I need to start using fortifications. :(

On the subject of trapping them... Doesn't require meat if you have a trapper do it. I don't have a trapper or the inclination to use that much time and wood on it, though. I can afford to lose a barrel and a bit of booze occasionally, as long as they don't cause explosions.

I think it happened before on this fortress, yeah. I've got dig deeper on, but I've seen it once or twice while I was using (close to*) vanilla DF. Only vermin I've noticed are mice (not that I've looked very hard).

The guy who has the 200 year old fortress which is entirely created out of awesome, might have seen every possibly scenario.

*Cat stockpile bug removed, graphics sets, init changes, accented characters removed.

Edit: Fire snakes, rats, lizards, mice, so far. I also saw wamblers and pixies, though only on the surface some distance from my fort. Fire snakes can start fire, I've read... Maybe I got ridiculously lucky and it set fire to the barrel, but didn't spread, just burned out? I dunno.

I'm not sure about this, but it could be a bug. Maybe it refuses to store the barrels because "only food stockpiles can use barrels" without the idea that you're just trying to store the barrels themselves, not store furniture inside the barrels.

I never saw the barrels going, first I knew of it was when I noticed a puddle of booze in the room. Not sure if the barrel still exists somewhere (Maybe the elves have started sending thieves) or not, though.

*Goes back to the beginning* Barrel of booze is happily sat in my stockpile not being touched. Barrel evaporates leaving booze in a puddle on the floor. Dwarf "cleans" booze from floor. Go get that coffee you mentioned in the hauling thread  :P

Oh, unless you -meant- "emptied barrels" rather than empty barrels being carried off to be used elsewhere... in which case, what could possibly be more important than storing the booze?
