DF Gameplay Questions / Best profession for increasing Stamina?
« on: February 19, 2012, 05:50:16 pm »
My Legendary swordsdwarf with an artifact sword was trained over a month or two in a danger room. (That's irrelevent)
However, his stamina is still "Very quick to tire" How do I train his Stamina? Pump operating? Mining? Woodcutting? What is best? Soap making?

Insert pokemon reference about catching a fire-breathing forest titan here.
The question is this: Did it kill any dwarves? Could you edit the local raws and such to make it tameable and trainable? I don't know much about that type of modding, on selected FB's HFS tenants.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Are vampires a gaurentee for each fort now?

I think my world is completely devoid of Vampires, Necromancers and Were-beasts. Namely because I was an idiot and didn't want to wait for world gen and stopped it at 5 before getting an elegant fortress design. started.

Alright. I checked the tracker but couldn't see it on there. I'll take your word for it.

Something must be up with this? They arrive with Migrant waves, are represented by @ and are marked as Friendly. I think this is probably a bug? Should I report it? Has anyone else experienced this?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: General consensus of Diagnosticians: Merchant pack animals need sleepy pills.

Two wagons showed up when the caravan arrived. Didn't get to do much with them since I was fending off dehydration at the time. Next time, I'll see if the wagons are still speed 0.

HFS are those animals fast. They pulled the wagon in to my depot faster than I've ever seen anything move before! I couldn't pause before they were 20 tiles away! Surely this can't be intended? I mean, what wagon have you ever seen being pulled at breakneck speed in no sort of emergency? This has to be a glitch. Right? Has anyone else had these crazy merchant animals, or am I alone in that?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Reverting metal costs back to 1 bar?

Making Iron large clusters is actually a really good idea. I'm going to do that, thanks for the idea!

DF Gameplay Questions / Reverting metal costs back to 1 bar?
« on: February 18, 2012, 11:54:08 am »
This is possible with simple RAW edits, right? I much preferred it only costing 1 bar for each item and was always malcontent with it costing such high bar amounts for everything. But I can't find the right entry in the raws. Help? Should I move this over to Modding?

It... Lets you read? And at any rate, I sugest moving this to either gameplay questions or Adventure mode discussion.

Large open meeting rooms for idlers with dormitory beds around the room help a lot. Makes sure nobody sleeps alone.

everyone has missed an important aspect ... it just seems to run faster as well.  when toady off-handedly mentioned optimizations in one of the posts a few months back, he wasn't kidding.
Unless you have giant mosquitoes. Things swarm in by the hundreds and fly around murdering your FPS

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Lag early on in fortress mode....could this be the cause?
« on: February 15, 2012, 01:34:08 am »
Same problem at my fort. I'll try removing flight. I'll post results.

EDIT: Removed flight from mosquitoes. They all crashed to the ground, most lost wings or legs. Also reduced swarm size dramatically. Next step is to find if there's a way to make them dissolve without sending boiling gasses into my fortress?

EDIT2: Seems some of them crashed into the river. Turns out their proboscis pop off quite easily.

I am currently besieged by 143 Giant Mosquitoes. They are capable of killing alligators almost effortlessly. All ye be warned.
