DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Can't assign Cabinet
« on: April 21, 2010, 10:37:51 am »
That will work.  You just have to build the cabinet inside of a room that is assigned to him.  He owns everything built inside his room.

Silly question: do you have an expedition leader assigned?

The require, demand and mandate in the nobles screen are there to indicate to you when any of those things need your attention.  Demands and Mandates are issued by nobles to either prevent the import/export of certain goods or to demand the manufacture of certain goods.

Some (most) nobles have requirements.  That is, certain things must be assigned to them in order for them to do their job.  A bookkeeper, for instance, requires an office to work in.  If in the nobles screen any of your nobles REQUIRE word is highlighted in red, it means they have a requirement that you are not currently providing.  You can take a closer look at that noble in the screen to see what they need, have and lack.

I have my dwarves doing surgery, forever. I mean, they sit and repeat surgery over and over on the same dwarf, I have a table and a traction bench next to every bed and I am fully stocked on supplies, yet they just can't finish the surgery on this poor dwarf. :C

Perhaps Urist McMengele is just a sadistic plod?

Unfortunately I'm not mature.

Footkerchief is Chuck Norris.

I dont so much mind it...but with above ground farming being so drastically different (all year round plants and no irrigation requirements) makes it seem like its almost just being discouraged.

While I haven't had time to try out the new DF for more than a few minutes, from the sound of it I agree with you.  Above ground farming seems to be more encouraged.  If only Dwarves preferred underground crops more; that would help balance the overhead, I think.

If Shift+, and Shift+. are not moving your screen up and down through the z-levels, either those commands have been bound to another set of keys in your version of the program or your keyboard is malfunctioning (possibly the shift key?).  I'd suggest checking out your key bindings to see what they are set to, and if using those keys still doesn't work, get a new keyboard.

Would be pretty cool to be able to make black pudding out of blood and chunks.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it involves magma.

And adamantine arrows fired at a wandering goblin.

Aren't dwarf weeks only 6 days long?  Right, right?

What would be really handy in-game would be like a semi-designate command, where you could highlight an area for designation but where it wouldn't actually result in anything.  That would be great for planning out rooms and corridors ahead of time.  At least, it would be helpful to someone like me  :-\

That would be a most awesome use for booze, if it could be carried in buckets and used to fill pools.  A giant spire of obsidian rising from a lake of Sunshine!

No immigration would make an awesome reclaim challenge for flavor, like Moria.

Would it be possible to replace an above ground river with a river of magma?  I imagine you'd have to obisidan cap the river intake to start with...
