Perhaps we're witnessing the gestation cycle/period of a dwarf as an egg?
Sweet: the conversion rate from egg to child is one to one. Hard to predict when the mothers spawn eggs though.
"Decaplets have hatched."
On the first page, the post says that there has been a 31.19 release, but the text next to the first link states 31.18, which might be the source of the confusion.hello, when will Phoebes tileset for Linux 0.31.19 DF? Thanks!Right now. That's in the first post of the thread. The download isn't labeled correctly, so far, but it's 31.19 nonetheless.
thought I labeled it, did I miss something ?
Had an elven or human caravan recently with studded gem for thade. Does that mean I can chain decorations by, say, studdyng gem, then encrusting some bone item with it, then decorating anything else with resulting bone ets.Not sure what you mean by your first question.
Also I wonder if there's a way to build down. If i breach the cavern from above and start building downwards ramps or ladders to finally get down to it's floor shall I succeed?
If the animal is caged or restrained, what happens is that the dwarf assigned to milk releases the animal. Then the task to milk said animal gets implemented. At the same time the animal is released, there's an idle dwarf that gets tasked with putting said animal back into the cage/restraint. If the return-assignment dwarf is close enough to the animal, the milker will have the animal removed and said animal will be moved back to its original location. The milker then goes to the Farmer's Workshop, realizes that there's no animal to milk, then restarts the task. Which starts the cycle all over again.I've decided to build a farmer's workshop inside the pasture zone, and set ti to sheer and milk on repeat. That way, nobody will come and drag an unpenned animal away >_>.Has anyone figured out how to get around the animal tug of war? My milker and weaver are fighting over a goat.Some workaround may be to place animals in cages, one close to the farmer's workshop, one close to the loom, etc.
Don't work too hard. We issue orders to dwarves, after all.
- It looks like I caught some bug and my throat hates me. If it gets bad, I could be MIA for a few days.
Just finished getting over a nasty bug myself, hope you feel better soon.
Tried many embarks on good/evil sites. There never were any feather trees or glumprongs. Anybody saw it or it's a bug?Haven't tried in .19, but they're a bit of a hassle to find in .18. There's apparently two types of evil areas: one that's dead, one that isn't. I'm guessing that something similar applies to good areas as well, but haven't done any testing on that aspect. I wouldn't say it's necessarily related to the actual degree of savagery, either. I've had haunted biomes that were completely dead, and I've also had terrifying biomes full of life, phantom spiders, and glumprongs.
Ok false alarm everyone. It looks like my dwarf wanted multiple pieces of cloth.Might have been a change to how moody dwarves demand their items, I noticed something like that in 31.18. Lists changed to what items a dwarf needs instead of all of the items.
Now, there's no way he should have wanted three bits of cloth. The time elapsed between his two demans was the same and he only picked up one stone. Odd.
I keep having this hilarious thought that Toady has just been sleeping the whole day away, and when he wakes up and reads all this debating we'll learn it's because of an error on his part to re-insert a value or something, and then scarcity will disappear entirely.In another game I play, there was a bug that existed for several years because it was "RNG H8, not a bug".
I can dream, can't I?
engraving stone besides for difficultyExcept that failure means even those high-quality items become essentially worthless. Getting chipped or the artwork was botched 'orribly, or something else. Carving a basic door out of a slab of rock can be pretty easy compared to masterful engravings on both sides of that door. If it gets too thin anywhere, the door could break under its own weight when it gets put up.
Hoping for a legendary engraver, Urist McFaberge?I'd like to think that there are some gobbos out there that could appreciate the masterful engravings on a steel serrated disk that just cut them too pieces.
To expand on that, dwarves could exchange maps with other kingdoms, get ideas of what's around where, and send expeditions to explore regions that might have rich deposits.I do not think anyone in 15 th century would have detailed core samples for every county in the world. The estimates like "there was some fulx found in the area", or "some surface ores were spotted "are much more realistic.This has been discussed at length in other threads. Basically, you have two sides to the discussion. One argues that dwarves are miners by nature and have been striking the earth and making their living underground for untold generations. So they would have a much more intimate knowledge of geology, minerals and metals than 15th century humans. (Their kinship with the earth is so close one could almost call it supernatural.) Also, they're the only race to make steel. Considering the stats of steel in the raws and how long they've been making it, dwarven steel is probably nearly equivalent to modern steel.
