The only reasonable solution is to make a magmuifer.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Why are our new dwarves such wimps?

I think "menaces with spikes of beard" might be a tad more dwarfly. Beard should totally be a recoverable item after dwarf death, with value proportional to how much ass that dwarf kicked in life.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Help! Dwarfs won't plant plump helmets!
« on: June 30, 2010, 03:53:05 pm »
I've found that plots that are valid because of the soil(but haven't been muddied in a tile or few) don't get used at all for underground plants even in the valid tiles. You might check for that, but if your planters have planted in that plot already, I'm not sure. See if resizing or muddying all the tiles works.
:edit: my experiencing this problem is in 31.08, btw
:edit2: in fact I'm going to see if I can't replicate this real quick

« on: June 30, 2010, 12:45:58 pm »And no, I'm not going to mod the files to produce "cat shell" or "horse shell".
You can and should mod bulls to yield "Mountain Oyster Shells".

The obvious fix is magma.

"Withdraws from society" is a secretive mood. It just means they won't shout what they need and instead they'll draw pictures of what they need. Better than prancing about, certainly.
It will actually say "Urist McLamer has been possessed!" if he's possessed. It always sucks.
More on topic.. a Larch bracelet worth 127,200 dwarfbux. Not only is it particularly Elfy already, the platinum nuggets I locked into the room with the dwarf were used to depict The Thirteenth Journey of the elf Iki Tameglossed. A damn waste of platinum.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: predestined life before birth?
« on: June 29, 2010, 11:42:03 pm »I always thought of that as a royal "we".they ever gonna fix/update that?
They??
'He', or 'Toady' would be more appropriate here, considering he is the only member of the 'They' you speak of...
Sorry, just one of my pet peeves, whenever I see someone saying 'they' when referring to the development of DF it bugs the hell out of me :\
While I feel your pain as a fellow language nazi, Toady always says "we" in the devlog, so "they" is probably appropriate.

As long as no dwarf is right under the falling rock, you should be fine.

If you mine under the floor you want to use, the debris will just punch through without hurting anything on the upper Z-level but the floor, which you can just rebuild.
If you just want to keep dwarves out of the area while you're working, though, just create an alternate route and designate a restricted traffic area (d,o,r). I don't think dust clouds can kill quick enough for it to be a problem, but I might be wrong.

I guess you've turned the jail into a freakshow. Although somehow I don't see dwarves being surprised about a bearded lady.

As much as I love the image of a Crown of Thongs... I'll be sticking around in this world just so I can see this thing show up again and again. I've gotten a legendary flute with the thong carved into it already.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Obsidian Casting - How?
« on: January 12, 2010, 11:36:27 am »I think Retro has the basic idea. Points to empasize:
The cast needs to be a chamber 3z tall. You'll have a bottom level where the reaction takes place with access doors for hauling away the obsidian, a middle level with access doors so miners can get in to channel out the obsidian, and a top level where the water (or lava, AFAIK it doesn't matter whether you add the lava to the water or vice-versa) can be spread out on bridges before being dumped evenly over the bottom layer, which you fill with the other substance.
If you want to minimize flame-related Fun (why would you want to do that?) you can put the magma on the bottom level and dump water onto it, that's how it's usually done, though I don't see that it matters much.
The wiki has a pretty good article on it.
I think doomshifter is trying to make an obsidian tower. Take the method but just start higher and do it one layer at a time.
Like
pump magma, let it fall to bottom floor; turn it off
pump water, and then it turns into obsidian; turn it off
repeat
Use bridges if you want.

« on: January 12, 2010, 01:45:11 am »So v.8 will have the inlet of v.6 with the drainage of v.7 and it should be pure joy.I like those words in particular.
I was under siege today by goblins. At first I freaked out, but it turns out one wrestler was able to occupy all of them while my archers shot them dead. The wrestler got away with very little injury
Yes, that is the entire siege force. Facepalmed for the goblins' sake.
