DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?

I made the mistake of designating a jail after 28 years of violated mandates...fortunately I saved beforehand because I wasn't quite ready for a reenactment of the Stalin era in my fort.  I'll wait a few more years before that because it WAS pretty fun seeing dozens of dwarves imprisoned/killed for their crimes.

If a hollow tube is breached but no dwarf is around to see it, does HFS spawn?

Obviously, "Sports Mad" is a tantrum spiral (complete with dwarf beating and table toppling)...

I think they do all kinds of things that are presently abstracted away...once we get more features (e.g. taverns) they'll be much more fleshed out than they are now.

I don't know, tetrahedrite is precious in comparison to the gold on my map...

Kogan Mondulsharast is a favorite...she's been mayor for 15 years and has given birth to 22 children in her life.  She's also our chief medical dwarf, which likely explains it as most of the time she's been idle making friends.  I genuinely have no idea who her husband is aside from a legendary stonecrafter.

Fath Estunmeng Etvuthmis Nitig is another legend.  She's the eldest daughter of the bookkeeper and manager (a most romantic pairing); she entered the military at age 12 and now at age 20 has forty-nine notable kills; in addition, she is married to a planter whose parents died at some point in the past.  She has three children, one of whom unfortunately was killed by a goblin (didn't mature to childhood in time).   She has seventeen siblings, one of whom is her fellow soldier and legendary hammerdwarf Melbil Onsonol Ustuthnir Sazir.  Melbil isn't married but does have a stonecrafter lover...not sure if they'll tie the knot, but it happened with Fath while she was in the service so it's not impossible.  Also note that she herself has forty-seven notable kills meaning their family currently has nearly one hundred dead goblins to its name...

And this is in year 25.  I'm looking forward to the state of affairs in year 50...we've already made it to the third generation.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Maximizing mineral variety
« on: May 11, 2011, 09:13:58 am »
Not really, the best you can do is set your mineral scarcity setting to maximize the amounts present.  That being said, layers with more stone types and more metals might produce more variety...although there are issues with that (e.g. the same metal in two types of stone, or IIRC cobaltite being considered a "metal" for this purpose).

Well, there are good lies too...like the map sticking pockets of marble down near the magma sea when it says "no flux".

Out of curiosity, what exactly did you destroy?

Owned food and clothes, corpses, and all the crap goblinite piling up outside.  It was claimed and marked for dumping but because there was so much there were a gigantic number of jobs outstanding.

I'm going to keep playing this one until the release...up to 24 years now.

Five for sure, because that probably the first and most crucial step to creating a "living" DF world.

It sounds like it's coming along pretty quickly, although I'm not certain how much will be included in this release.  The more, the longer it will take. However, as others have said and as previously mentioned a couple of months ago in the Dev Log the version number needs to be updated from 0.31 to reflect the substantial new elements added. 

Nonetheless, there seems to be potential for some amusing new bugs that'll have to be squashed...

anyone know what happens if a possessed dorf doesnt get his stuff in time?

The same as any other failed mood.  It can be somewhat sad, somewhat amusing, or potentially deadly if it's your most elite axe lord.

This is incredible...the FPS increase from using dfconfiscate and autodump is remarkable.  I'd say it doubled.

Year 23...the second generation is being born in the fortress.  Population 91, of which 40 are children and 20 are children that have become adults; the current mayor has been in power for 13 years, leaving an indelible mark on the community with various improvement projects and our first major project, a solid gold basilica under construction.

Only 15 dwarves have died in 23 years, a new record.
