Did someone mention Dwarf Therapist?  Did anyone mention how it may be the single greatest interface improvement one can download for Dwarf Fortress?  How you can instantly look at your next wave of pesky migrants and get their jobs straight before they even walk onto the map?

So if I designated the very bottom of the pit as a dump, and the spot next to the hole as a dump, it would work?

DF Gameplay Questions / The ultimate trash dump
« on: August 20, 2010, 11:31:26 am »
So I'm trying to make a garbage dump chute that would be open space for ~4 zlevels and then the dump on the bottom. 

I'm wondering if the dwarves will know to throw stuff down the empty space, or would they just think the dump was inaccessible?  Do I have to do some sort of pressure plate trick to make an autodump for them?

DF Gameplay Questions / Location hotkeys
« on: August 19, 2010, 02:28:08 pm »
I know that when you hit F1 it returns you to the place you first embarked, but I'm wondering if you can set hotkeys to jump to certain locations, like forges, stockpiles, etc.  I like to dig way down before I actually start making my fort, but hitting shift+> over and over gets pretty old...

I have seeds for all the seasons and plenty of them, the problem is that they must be inaccessible somewhere in my fortress

That made me discover something else strange-  I have hundreds of seeds, but apparently none are reachable by the dwarves.  When I go over a new  field, it tells me that there are no seeds available.  How can I find where my seeds are in the fortress?

Do farmers need any hauling enabled to do their job properly?  I have them set only for "Food Hauling" and "Cleaning" but it seems like no one is working on the farm.

DF Gameplay Questions / Digging big pits
« on: August 19, 2010, 09:29:59 am »
I was wondering what the best way to long, deep shafts (twss) is.  If I had my dwarves dig a 4x4 channel straight down, they would get trapped at the bottom, and having an auxiliary staircase kind of ruins the aesthetics for me. 

Is there any way to make a clean, deep pit?

My last forgotten creature was a giant pile of vomit with wings and poisonous vapors.  I mean....barf?

I saw this comic on someone's facebook along with them saying how into this game they were.  I picked it up, shrieked in fear at the graphics and promptly shut it down.  Little did I know it had planted itself in my head where it grew and grew into more attempts to play. 

I think the learning curve influenced me.  I wanted to be able to say I picked up DF, one of the hardest games to pick up!

DF Gameplay Questions / No migrants?
« on: August 11, 2010, 12:28:10 pm »
I'm having a problem with a slowly dwindling number of dwarves.  They slopped around and were too lazy to get all the goods/trade with TWO caravans in a row so I wasn't able to export any of the ridiculous amount of stonecrafts I have.  Add a few goblin ambushes and some failed flood-trap experimenting and my numbers are shrinking at an alarming rate. The problem?

Ten seasons have gone by with "Your fortress failed to attract any dwarves this season."

Is this because I haven't shown the world, through the caravan, that we are a thriving fortress?  Is something messed up in the init files?  I need more dwarves!
