DF Gameplay Questions / Flow and stairs (0.42.04)
« on: August 02, 2016, 12:38:11 pm »
I wish to pump around some magma and some water. The project will involve lots of vertical shafts. It might be more convenient for me if I tunneled those with stairs instead of just channeling out the tiles completely. Will this affect/impede the flow of water or magma in any way?

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarf hauling is weird.
« on: September 22, 2013, 11:26:14 am »
So I've started playing again after a 2-year pause. I've noticed that the hauling system seems to be a little bit different now.
My problem: instead of picking up a fish and bringing it to the food pile or picking up a plump helmet spawn and bringing it to the seed pile, my dwarfs go to the pile first, pick up a container that already has some of the stuff they're going to pick up in it (i.e. a fish barrel or a plump helmet spawn bag), then bring the container to the item, put the item in the container and the bring the whole container back. Or sometimes they don't even bring the container back, they just leave it where the item used to be. But the most annoying thing about this is the constant spam of ".. planting seeds interrupted: needs plump helmet spawn!" - I DO HAVE ENOUGH PLUMP HELMET SPAWN, BUT SOME IDIOT DWARF SNATCHED THE WHOLE BAG IN ORDER TO PICK UP ONE SEED SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP!

This being dwarf fortress I'm pretty sure that I'm simply doing something wrong or have missed some sort of option. So... how do I prevent dwarfs from taking full containers from stockpiles?

DF Gameplay Questions / Destroyed masterworks and unhappiness
« on: May 19, 2012, 05:44:15 pm »
A dwarf gets unhappy when one of his masterworks gets destroyed. The more masterworks he already has the less unhappy he gets.

Does this include masterworks that have already been destroyed/sold to caravans?
i.e. does the unhappiness-amount depend on the total of masterworks a dwarf created or on the total of his masterworks present on the current map?

DF Gameplay Questions / Porcelain
« on: May 13, 2012, 06:42:20 am »
I don't have any Kaolinite on my map, yet would like to have some porcelain. Since the wiki tells me I need Kaolinite rocks and a Kiln to get it I imported some Kaolinite rocks.

Sooo... now what?  ???
The Kiln still doesn't show any Porcelain option. Am I missing something?

DF Gameplay Questions / Natural death
« on: May 12, 2012, 08:24:06 am »
One of my miners was just randomly found dead in his bed. He didn't have any wounds, diseases or contaminants, so I was kind of taken by surprise. In order to find out what happened I engraved a memorial plate for him (since those include the dying reason) and I got even more surprised:

"This is a superior quality granite memorial to Onol Besmarvir. It is encrusted with oval diorite cabochons.
The slab reads 'In memory of Onol Besmavir / Born 121 / Died peacefully in the year 276 / Devoted mother and wife / Friend of ducks'"

In 3 years of playing dwarf fortress this is a first for me - I didn't even know it was possible O.o

DF Gameplay Questions / Horizontal bars
« on: March 08, 2011, 01:21:57 pm »
Will they, placed at the feeding bottom tile of a magma-pumpstack, prevent fun creatures to come from the magma sea while still allowing my pumps to pump?

DF Gameplay Questions / Is there any stone that ISN'T magma-safe?
« on: March 08, 2011, 05:14:47 am »
Currently preparing the materials for my magma-pumpstack. Can I use any random stone blocks generated by my masonry, or do I have to avoid certain types of stone?

Edit: Hm.. apparently there're quite a few  :o
Setting up a dedicated workspace...

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma supply
« on: March 07, 2011, 10:27:34 pm »
I plan on flooding the surface with lava to make my fort entrance the only habitable place around. So does the magma sea always provide an infinite supply of magma I can use?

DF Gameplay Questions / Smoothing floors doesn't prevent trees to grow there if made wet
« on: March 07, 2011, 05:36:00 pm »
^ question

I built an elaborate pipe system for the various needs for water in my fortress. One pipe is now blocked by a fungiwood - did I just forget to smooth that one floor tile or does smoothing not help at all and I have to drain the whole system to construct "artificial" floors instead?

DF Gameplay Questions / Killing pets (cats. I want to get rid of them.)
« on: March 07, 2011, 06:51:52 am »
I've read in the wiki that there's an apparently very easy way to get rid of all pets, or rather a certain kind of animal by removing its vital organs from the game files or something like that. How would I accomplish this? I haven't found an actual guide :o

(I personally would like to get rid of cats)

DF Gameplay Questions / Adamantine clothing
« on: October 25, 2010, 11:34:21 pm »
I'd like to specify adamantine coats as part of a military uniform. But I can't find adamantine in the material list of coats  :o
So how would I do it?

The X-symbols, next to the item names. What do they mean?

Is there any way to extend the length/width limits of certain buildings? I.e. farming plots, walls, floors, etc.
