DF Gameplay Questions / Re: So, no enemies
« on: August 10, 2010, 03:48:01 pm »
I had one fort way out in the cold side of the map and never got any invaders at all.  Also had a map where I got no caravans at all!  Neither scenario is a lot of fun.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: hunters still having problems in 31.10

That's kind of the opposite of how it works for me, single hunters bring down elephants with bone bolts.  Meat and prepared food are a pretty fair export item for me, plus all the bone and whatnot.

Tun Zutshosh "The Door of Bewildering", a ... candlenut trumpet.  51k value though!  Good boy!
edit: took him to 15+1 woodcrafting ... I guess in 15 years when I can give him orders he'll be pretty good with wood haha

Eh I'm pretty new, I'll try it this way and see how it goes :)  The kids don't bug me, actually it looks like some of them will grow up with pretty massive skill sets.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Is it possible to stop items from moving around when abandoning a fortress?
« on: August 10, 2010, 10:21:38 am »
While that's a really funny feature the first few times around, it gets irritating when certain items get "stuck" after a reclaim and can't ever be dumped or put away, and they prevent construction.  It seems like there is a bug with this kind of thing where an item is claimed by a job, and the job can no longer be completed (abandoned fort e.g.) but the item is still claimed by a job and so can never be picked up.  Somebody suggested magma as a solution in another thread, although for magma-safe stuff (which I often have tons of) that won't really help.  Picking up huge stacks of seeds one at a time gets old too ;)  I wouldn't mind of there was a way to just clear all the scattered items and do without them, but on the other hand that might make reclaim a bit too friendly.

A feature I would like to see:  visibility of relationships, to make it easier to pick out dwarves who probably shouldn't be in high risk jobs.

No, I tend to keep them as busy as possible with mass dumping and all that stuff, and besides it's only the third year - and there was only one wedding announcement I noticed too.  Perhaps the ladies are sporting some really fine bushy beards this season!

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Newbie.... No water and no outdoor seeds
« on: August 10, 2010, 06:52:18 am »
There should be water SOMEWHERE down in the caverns if you dig for it, at which point you can make a well - it can be very deep, I don't think there is any limit.

DF Gameplay Questions / Baby boom!
« on: August 10, 2010, 06:43:14 am »
I'm not quite sure why but my current fort has had a huge number of births (at least for me)- something like 10-12 in the middle of the fourth third year.  I'm kinda guessing it's either the larger rooms I set everyone up in, or the fact that for maybe the first two years I had a really tiny meeting area (6x6) compared to what I usually build.  Now that I think of it I don't really know what a "normal" DF birth rate is anyway?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: HOW I FARM FOR FOOD?
« on: August 08, 2010, 04:39:10 am »
It's pretty either/or really, dropping the ice plug into a well can be very tricky as well if you don't know exactly where the ice is in all levels.  Somehow I got this right the first time I tried it but then I just spent today trying to do it again and kept screwing it up.

Worth noting that if the water you dumped in the room is more than 1 deep it won't evaporate, or at least not for quite a long time.

There's actually a method described on the wiki that we talked about in a thread recently (if I'd noticed the wiki article I wouldn't have asked).

That's a good workaround, thanks.  The list does show in the order the things were built but when you have more than a couple it's easy to lose track.
