DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Inheritance might be working now.
« on: September 08, 2014, 08:46:13 pm »
I just had something awful happen to my fort early in my first year.  My cook, being the rightful heir, just inherited a Dukedom.

Although retraining isn't that bad this early in the fort, having to deal with such a high ranking noble is going to be hard.

No idea if this affects in-fortress heirs, but this popped up out of the blue.

Thanks for the help.  It's nice to have a better understanding on what's going on.

maybe it means there's something wrong with your DNS server, 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 are both google's free DNS servers arent they?
I assume you had it on "automatically detect dns" previously?
Yes I did.  I try to leave things on default when I don't know what they do.  And I only have a very loose grasp of what DNS is.

And thanks for the confirmation on what the servers were.  I hate changing stuff based on something I read online when I don't know if someone's being honest.  Though now I have to know if that will slow things down or mess other things up.  As I said, a VERY loose understanding.

Got it to work with something I don't really understand.  I tried in both IE and Chrome, couldn't connect.  I then looked up the Chrome error message.

The fix was changing the TCP/IPv4 DNS server addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.  Now I'm hoping this didn't mess anything else up, since I don't really know what that means.

DF General Discussion / dffd.wimbli.com problem
« on: September 02, 2014, 12:57:31 am »
I can't access the site at all, which means I can't download anything saved there.  I have no other problems with the internet.  I do have a different computer than the last time I downloaded something from there, but I have no idea what setting could be preventing me from accessing the site, if any.

Any ideas on what's causing this?  I have no problem accessing other sites.  But that's the main site used by this forum for downloading anything.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Parties: worth it?
« on: February 14, 2013, 09:12:41 pm »
I usually start out by designating a meeting hall.  Then, when my fort's been going for a while and is pretty much set up, I put a statue in the middle of it and make that a meeting area.

The parties rarely affect me at that point because there's not much left to do, and there's so much food and cloth that the workers not making any is a good thing.

For stuff getting stuck in the minecart, go into the secondary menu for the options ("C", I think).  One of the options changes it from X% full of the desired item to X% full of anything.

I've tried using UNDIRECTED_DUST to make an exploding creature.

It's fairly worthless in that usage.  It rarely kills anything, especially if in an open area.  The creature in question had this as it's only attack and I'd constantly see one "explode" hundreds of times.

And I realy wanted a self-destruct attack that didn't rely on temperature.

Non-rigid headgear will result in broken skulls.  And cloaks cover some part that normal armor doesn't.

Come to think of it, no cloaks tends to kill your soldiers quite often.

Were the soldiers WEARING the armor, or just assigned it?  Did you assign armor for each body part?  And did you include a cloak?  Also, do you have enough armor for each dwarf?

It might be that the dwarves weren't wearing the armor, because they hadn't gotten to it yet, weren't active, or were wearing normal clothing still in some spots.  Make sure that once the squad is activated that they have time to get their armor, then mark each dwarf to wear just the armor, in the military equipment screen.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Forever running out of thread :(
« on: December 10, 2012, 07:59:16 am »
You need a lot of farms for thread.

Using 2x2 plots, I'd end up using 7-8 above ground for other plants, and 4 below ground for the same, with about 8-9 for each thread producer.  With at least five farmers and two threshers.

And I'd still have to keep restarting the process plants orders in the workshops.

I eventually modded a hivable spider that leaves behind silk just to avoid all that.

For meeting areas without parties, designate a meeting ZONE, just like making a pasture zone.

I only have parties when my fort's been going for a few years and I build a statue garden in my dining area.

I think I found it.  It looks like it was FREQUENCY that messed it up.

I'm not 100% certain, but when I changed it back to 100 I started finding colonies of them again.

I recently made a creature.  A hivable colony of spiders, to collect the webs they leave around their hives.  I've gotten them to work a couple times, but now I can't get them to appear when I start a new game.

I can purchase their silk for embark.  But when I embark I can see some webs on the ground, but no colonies.  They just don't show up at all, so I can't put any in a hive.

What did I do wrong here?  errorlog.txt shows nothing.

Got a problem.  Didn't solve it like I thought I did.

They keep dying when I start a new game.  I see their webs on the ground, but no colonies.  What do I have set wrong?
