DF Suggestions / Suggestion: clothing stockpiles
« on: September 15, 2013, 10:52:39 pm »
I believe that everyone can agree that dealing with clothing is a micromanagement nightmare. I think a simple solution to this problem is adding a new stockpile type: Clothing. These would separate clothes from the other crafts that dwarves produce and with an option to allow/forbid different states of wear enable a player to mass designate dumping of worn out clothes. This also enable jewelers and metal-smiths to specifically encrust and stud clothing making your dwarves all bedazzled with ice and bling bling!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Chalice to Armok: GOD OF BLOOD
« on: January 13, 2012, 03:14:34 am »

And so after labouring for low onto 15 years the dwarves of Idenstigaz (Paddledrasps) Have completed their monument to The God Of Blood. With the last of the scaffolding removed and the chalice bowl clear and sealed the dwarves now watch in awe as Armok's Blood pours down to fill it.

This is a Clear Glass Chalice. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with bands of green glass blocks and menaces with spikes of black bronze. It is studded with silver, gold, black bronze, and rose gold. It is decorated with bands of gold. On it is the artifact adamantine floodgate Umrilarban Gegetsogdol, "Pinescradled the Violet Famines." It is Full of Magma.

This is my first mega-project and I am quite pleased with the results.

I have a save here if anyone is interested in seeing it in all its glory!

I was possessed by some otherworldly entity and all it was saying was: "Construct the Chalice and fill it with MAGMAAAAAA"

I still think that it was NECRO who that voice belonged to...

DF Gameplay Questions / Marksdwarves or hammer dwarves
« on: September 26, 2011, 12:59:35 am »
I have a squad equipped with crossbows and i have assigned them bolts. I have an archery range and all the targets are set as archery ranges as well as having the instruction for the dwarves to train there. It has been a year and none of them have used the range;, instead, they are all training in their barracks and the dwarves that where recruits last year are now all hammer dwarves. WTF am i doing wrong? How can i get them to use the archery range so they can become marksdwarves.

« on: September 12, 2011, 09:43:04 am »
I am on my 4th year in my current fortress and i have not been besieged once. I spotted a few blobs and a lizard in the very deep caverns that i opened up right near the top. and a Minotaur that ran right into my cage. Will i be able to go forever without being besieged? or will some foul army of darkness descend on my fort?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / A short story about Ithra Zizhode, Desert Titan
« on: September 11, 2011, 03:12:49 am »
One day the fortress of Orsharoslan was beset upon by the ferocious desert titan Ithra Zizhode.  Ithra was an enormous six-legged lizard composed of flame, its sting was potent. Upon entering the view of the fortress Ithra carelessly wandered into a small pond and evaporated all the water, trapping it, much to the entertainment of the residents of Orsharoslan.

What happens next?
