DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Embark Site Wanted
« on: October 18, 2012, 09:39:22 pm »
Volcano and sedimentary layers. So, fire, flux, and iron. How the hell do I find this without spending hours searching? What parameters do I use

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Food stockpiles stopped working?
« on: May 17, 2012, 11:26:09 pm »
I've noticed my crops were rotting into oblivion and realized that my dwarves weren't using the food stockpiles that were right next to the farms and kitchens.. anyone else notice this?

I wonder if it is because Im using the new version of DF and dropped Phoebes into it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Wheelbarrow
« on: May 16, 2012, 08:05:28 pm »
Im using wheel barrows to transport wood on the surface to a stockpile on the surface that feeds a minecart rail that dumps into my main storage area..


But I noticed wheelbarrows will only carry one piece of wood. Same with stone. It actually makes hauling much longer than its should.. Anyone else notice this?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Butcherable goblins
« on: November 07, 2011, 01:04:55 pm »
How do you do it. I used to toss the gobblins down a pit of despair into my magma forge area that would flood with magma, burn away all the impurities and leave just metal, then I'd drain it. But there was a bug where the metal would get "caught" in the glass grates I had in place and were never retrievable. So Id rather toss the goblins into a deep pit and turn them into bolts

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Flat volcanos or more convenient, magma pools that go to the surface?

Is it possible?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / A fortress full of hunters?
« on: July 30, 2011, 01:32:04 pm »
I have 110 dwarves and 6 skilled soldiers. My defense has been lacking but I read somewhere that making everyone a hunter would keep my idle meat shields armed with a ranged defense. Does this actually work?, cause I def have the word to churn out 100 xbows and Ive been stockpiling masterwork bone bolts as a by product of my previous hunting and meat industry.

Id almost be willing to take out all my traps and watch an ambush walk into my main hall of 60 idle sheep with crossbows just to watch the carnage.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Goblin Recycling Center
« on: April 05, 2011, 01:39:38 pm »
Since cage traps are the most abundant form of defense for my fortress, I always end up with a large surplus of goblins equipped with precious metal. What I usually do is strip them of all their metal belongings by dumping then reclaiming them through stocks menu and then assign each prisoner to a pit which contains magma. But this process is quite cumbersome, especially when dumping all that equipment then reclaiming it. So I've come up with an idea of a magma chamber to dump the prisoners into, then drain the magma through grates once all but molten metal is left. Would this work? Is molten copper usable? Can you think of a more efficient way of reclaiming all their weapons and armor to be smelted? I thought about using glass serrated disk traps but I don't feel like keeping all that dumb rubbish clothes, but I could use the goblin bones.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Hard to find iron now
« on: April 04, 2011, 04:28:53 pm »
I'm having trouble finding iron in .25. Is there a way to change the embark screen to look like what it used to? I've even tried removing all aquifers and adding iron to all mineral layers in the raws, but the game crashes on embark :/

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / shield and multigrasp?

Can your dwarves wield shields and battleaxes now? My dwarves won't train with one or the other

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What do you do when you have > 50 idlers?
« on: May 26, 2010, 03:36:19 am »
After about 2 hours of playing and creating a solid fort I end up with a shit ton of ilders, I don't know what to do with them cause I really don't really find a need for them.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Pedo dwarf
« on: May 25, 2010, 07:13:11 am »
One of my dwarfs named Rhesus Macaque keeps trying to kidnap the children of my fort but I can't find him ever. Why would a citizen of your own fort try to kidnap someone?
