Bay 12 Games Forum

I like simulation and and I treat DF like a simulation. It simulates for me dwarfs. Adventure mode I would consider a game though.

I'm in love with physics games that are mostly simulation(Dan-ball anyone?) and Dwarf Fortress comes off as a simulation but diffrent style. I have fun doing it but I don't treat it like a game...or it could be both.

Anyone want to donate a computer, a liquid cooling kit, and a plane ticket to Hawaii for science?

If it's a one way ticket, I'll bite my tongue and accept the responsibility... for humanity and stuff.  It will be a struggle, but I think I can prevail.

I just wonder how he expects to survive the magma heat...and not die. Not to mention how he will feed himself etc? Maybe he will just take notes and hope someone finds it.

My favorite cool things coming in the merge

- Translucent tilesets are supported, using PNG.
- The DF window can be resized on the fly.
- The grid size is autogenerated on startup; such init.txt settings are ignored.
- Window resolution is measured in tiles instead of pixels, if you use a size below 200x200.
- The DF window can be zoomed on the fly using the mouse wheel, though only in opengl mode.
* You can create keyboard macros

I hope all the stuff Baughn did makes it into the merge.

Oh? You don't care for the speed increase?

Not really for me it only helps when the fortress is young. Once i get to 100 dwarfs the speed is the same as 40d

That's weird..because I thought it had nothing to do with how many dwarfs etc the merge. It's not path finding it does right? It basically renders the game better or similar?(I'm not sure though...)

While I was working on the adventure mode screens update, Scamps ran into the room and jumped up on my arm so that he was hanging from it briefly with his front claws. That startled me and I swung to the right, knocking my desk and banging my knee into my tower. Somehow that popped the case open, and when I looked down my computer was laying open on its side with my phone sitting inside of it on top of the motherboard next to a spinning fan. It seems fine, though. I guess the memory is in perpetual danger though, from falling phones and stuff. Scamps, who was crouched right next to the scene with his little tail wagging, got a ten minute timeout.

Uh oh, Scamps almost screwed up Toady's PC.

Almost? I mean...a phone fell into his PC who knows what may come up at a later stage(Though I'm no pro but isn't a phone hitting your motherboard or memory a bad thing?). At least he can afford some good hardware now with the latest big donation

Dont like the look of the front gate of that fortress?
A legendary miner can dig you right down to basement in about a day. When goblins can do this to our fortresses, it will get real interesting.

I hope then we can fill it with rocks because I don't want a bunch of holes in my ground leading to my base...it'll start to get messy and I don't like messy..

Man, when(if) we get lighting then that would be pretty hard...I mean we probably won't know where they are going so they could come out anywhere...even in my bedrooms...eep.

My bad.

Right, because EVERYONE writes , instead of .
-_- It's alright, you didn't know. I think an example would be the Dutch.
Take your ignorance away from here! BEGONE EVIL! 

I think you're grossly overestimating what Urist said.

I had considered this possibility. This is why I like it to say edited even if its close from the time of post.

I have one that's multiple Z levels but its not fully done.
