DF Adventure Mode Discussion / My first adventure!
« on: July 22, 2010, 06:42:30 pm »
So I'm playing my first adventure mode and instinctively stabbed the first person I saw. I'm pretty much murdering the town despite heavy resistance. I've been blocking everything and now at this point i just think there's a glitch or something -- this shouldn't be happening. What do you think?
And sorry for the picture overload.

DF General Discussion / Performance on Dwarf Fortress
« on: July 20, 2010, 04:00:05 pm »
I've never encountered any performance issues on Dwarf Fortress, however, none of my forts have ever had a high population then say... 20 total critters. (Including dwarfs, cats, dogs etc etc). Based on the specs listed below is there anyone that could gage my computers ability on handling larger forts with like 50 or so plus dwarfs?
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.00GHz
Ram: 3.00GB
OS 32-bit Vista
Video Card: ATI X1250 (128MB Pixel Shader 2.0 Vertex Shader 2.0) -- integrated
I've tried doing Adventure mode where I encounter a slight lag.

DF Gameplay Questions / Boulders=Stone?
« on: July 14, 2010, 09:56:06 pm »
I've found a truly lovely spot, however, there isn't any stone -- that I have discovered yet. There are, though, tons of boulders with various compositions. Is it possible to like. . . err extract said stone from the aforementioned boulders?
As of now, by the way, my miners are chipping away. The floor is black sand if that is useful in anyway.

DF Gameplay Questions / Are dwarfs smart enough to drink on their own?
« on: July 14, 2010, 03:13:20 pm »
Are dwarfs smart enough to drink on their own? I have plenty of food but not too much alcohol and i plan on just letting it run while my miners hallow out the rest of the cliff. My fear is i come back and they've all died of thirst despite there being like 8 ponds just outside my fort.

DF Gameplay Questions / How would this work?
« on: July 13, 2010, 05:47:44 pm »
I am curious as to how I would redirect the water into the soon to be farming room. When ever I channel it just goes into the room below which I suppose could work but am curious if there are other ways. 1: body of water 2: ~path i wish it to take 3: ~location of room. Anyone?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / The hostility of werewolves
« on: July 13, 2010, 12:33:58 pm »
I'm a relatively new player of DF so I figured rather then grinding out on safe ground awaiting the inevitable goblin siege I would thrust myself into sinister grounds for the first time. After i was done with mapping out my fort I started looking around the map waiting for the miners to hollow out some cliff and soon enough I spotted trouble. A werewolf was closing in on my idle dwarfs and animals, luckily, my war dogs and company killed it, however, another werewolf has taken its place but this one appears to be more cautious. What should I do? Form a ramshackle militia and engage or just wait it out until my fort is ready to move in then form a town watch kind of thing.

DF Gameplay Questions / UI Question -- don't flame too hard.
« on: July 12, 2010, 02:56:21 pm »
I feel like a jackass asking but how do i access the items boxed in red? I've tried the alt arrow down with no results. Also what are the defaults for the lower box? I've literally been browsing the Key bindings and wiki trying to figure this out.
