DF Modding / Re: Less self sufficiency

In my LotR mod, the dwarven civilizations have no access to farming whatsoever. They're entirely dependent on butchery/hunting/trade.

DF Suggestions / Re: More efficient building
« on: August 15, 2010, 10:34:11 am »I'm sure this has probably been suggested before, but it'd be nice if dwarfs were better at clearing out building sites. I hate jobs that almost permanently go back to being suspended because there is an item sitting in the construction site, no matter how small.I was building a wall, stone got hauled over, then a unicorn sauntered by. All the dwarves got scared and dropped the stone to run away. The wall took over a season to finish (it was maybe 50~ tiles long) because there was "an object occupying space" on every tile of wall.

Aw man, I was hoping to be able to build walls more than 10 x 10. 'Tis a shame.

The Hammerer is still in the raws, so maybe he'll make a comeback.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: The castle of monkey blood!!!
« on: August 15, 2010, 09:58:27 am »This really needs fixed soon, i can't help but think that a single tile bearing 30 different smears of blood is contributing somewhat to fps loss... and i have a dozen of them leading to my depot >.<DFhack has a blood cleaning tool.

DF Modding / Re: best tileset?
« on: August 15, 2010, 09:55:16 am »It's changing really fast too, so if you keep up with me, you can download a patch every couple weeks or so!I use, and love, Phoebus', but as I was leafing through the thread for blueeyed, I saw that it was a lot different than it was last time I saw it, and I was like, "I... might have to start using this." Is there a version that doesn't use those swirly things for water? I love your dwarves, and while the ground/walls look a little grunge-y at times, my biggest problem is with the water.
We're just getting better and better! = P
There are a few different options in the folder, with different types of symbols etc, perhaps Phoebus should release an option of having no symbols in the walls. They're one of the things I like most, saves a lot of time in the look menuI think Phoebus is working on exactly this.

DF Modding / Re: [DF 31.12] War of the Ring Mod [WotR 0.09.1]
« on: August 15, 2010, 09:50:07 am »Small note: Tobacco is called 'pipeweed' in Tolkien's works.Actually, Pipeweed was a type of tobacco. They also smoked Old Toby, and a bunch of other stuff as well.
Right now, though, it only exists in the raws.
Edit: Possible (partial) solution to dwarven farming issue- mod certain creature parts to be brewable. I'll probably get it in sometime today, play around with it a bit, and if it works/helps, attach it onto the ent update.

Elves have a low patience stat.
As for your challenge, the elves from Lord of the Rings were pretty awesome [shameless self plug] maybe you should check out my mod? [/shameless self plug]

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Digging a pitfall
« on: August 15, 2010, 12:52:34 am »Also, having spikes at the bottom doesn't increase the damage they take from falling, it just lets you easily finish off any survivors (by repeatedly pulling the lever to shank them)It also makes the pit look bad as fuck in stonesense.

What Mini said.
One addition: when a creature dodges onto an adjacent space, the game doesn't check if it's safe first. It's entirely possible for a goblin (or dwarf!) standing on the edge of the pit to dodge, and fall in.
