DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / trade guidelines?
« on: December 06, 2009, 08:20:02 pm »
So it seems to me there are two variables regarding trading
1. How much stuff each civilization sends
2. How much of it is the stuff you've requested
Anyone know how to maximize both of these? My l337 syrup roasts mean I generally have an unlimited supply of money so I generally just give the traders 500% profit and the rest of the seasons roasts as offerings, but is there a better way to get trade as efficient as possible?

Not so much of a mystery actually. The processor is literally melting. The fan is running as fast as it can and I still get 'CPU OVER TEMP' error in bootup

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Wildlife conservation
« on: December 04, 2009, 12:38:21 pm »
So several times it seems I've managed to kill off the local wildlife beyond replenishment. So obviously there's a finite number of wild animals around. Question- If I don't hunt for say, the first ten years of my fort will the animals breed 'offscreen' to a healthy level, or does it make no difference?
Basically I'm trying to find a sustainable model for delicious unicorn/syrup roasts

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What decent 'conservative' mods are out there?
« on: December 04, 2009, 01:43:37 am »
I.E not ones that add a million new game mechanics or recreate some obscure japanese manga or whatever, but just add a few nice touches, bugfixes or enhance the game experience without drastically changing gameplay?
Basically I'm looking for mods that will make DF more fun without making going back to vanilla DF when the new version comes out too weird or jarring.
Also something that lets me butcher and cook elves and goblins would be nice

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / My dwarves are getting goofy moods
« on: December 04, 2009, 01:40:11 am »
I don't remember this happening before the Dxx builds but I was really new to the game then, but now a lot of my moods are happening to peasants or dwarves with unrelated skills- My master brewer with no other non-social skills just got a fey mood for bonecarving, for example.
Also, it seems almost like the artifacts are influenced by some kind of pregenned seed, whenever I start a new fort it seems I either get 90% 'possession' and useless junk(ash idol that menaces with spikes of ash, etc) or 90% fey/secretive awesome stuff(150,000 dorfbux coffin, etc).

DF General Discussion / How big can my embarks be with my new comp?
« on: December 04, 2009, 01:12:37 am »
My current comp is 4 years old and melting(a month ago it could run 4x4 with 80 dwarves at 30fps, now a flat 3x3 with 40 is chugging) so its time for a new comp. Here's what I ordered(laptop)
How big an embark/population will this run? Will I be able at last to afford to embark with features other than a single magma pool? Perhaps even an embark large enough to sustain metalworking for more than 6 years?

DF General Discussion / Re: Worldgen cookbook
« on: November 13, 2009, 09:01:47 pm »
is there any downside to not letting the history run? My current fortress I only had run to 40% beasts, year 80, and its slow as heck.. I'm trying to pin down whats going on. Basically, usually I get decent FPS until 80 dwarves or so, now I'm getting 20fps with 36 dwarves on a flat map with no running water, few animals, etc. It seems like its constantly using the hard drive for some reason, but I've closed down every non-system process? Any ideas?

DF General Discussion / worldgen challenge
« on: November 13, 2009, 12:25:39 am »
I've tried for hours and hours to gen this site using my crude, inadequate understanding of worldgen parameters, finally got lucky and found a suitable site, only to have the save become corrupt and unusable.
(running mayday's 40d16 package, if that makes a difference)
The challenge-
3x3 embark with
joyous wilds
heavily forested
magma pool
sedimentary flux layer(coal/magnetite)
nonevaporating water(so I can turn off weather and temp and still have water for injured dwarves)
all neighbors
if possible, any other fun but non-CPU intensive features
if anyone can rig this up, I will happily name my first-born child after you.
