-wall of quotes on google transilate

From experience in learning English and Italian, google transilate does NOT work for even the simplest sentences. I had a few friends that didint speak French as a first lauguage, and they did their project in English, then copy=pasted it into google transilate. I feel so bad for them.....

If we are going to speak a different lauguage, it either needs to be well known, or we need transilators. The 2 most prominant lauguages on Bay12 are French and English. If we go for German, then we are going to need to get a TON of people to learn it, we are going to need transilators, and teachers. Honesty, I originaly thought German was a good lauguage to speak on the colony, however now that I lay down all these problems I think... not so much.

I would go for either French, English, or both with transilators (Like Canada!).

By the way I changed the poll to something more........ pr. pro- produ....... productive *COUGH* COUGH* *CHOKE*

Edit; This has to be mentioned on the next DF talk.

According to the dwarf therapist screen that I posted at the end of my update, you are. Now, we're waiting for Mebuy!

Meh, minor issue if you don't use bins. Just my two cents.

You have much to learn about the Ways of the Sandbox, young Padawan. For instance, DF isn't a space management game, it's more of an imbicelle management game.

Sure.

First off, do the things suggested which avoid quantum stockpiling. Second, understand the one true(st) goal of DF: To fail amazingly. Or the second: To do as much as you can while you survive.

I'm glad you've figured out the solution, though. Seriously, if you go into a game with expectations of it being one thing and it turns out to be another, don't keep trying to pigeonhole it into your original expectations, and don't diss older versions which should be "playable" by your definition, and don't think that it won't get fixed better eventually.

I'm a little confused as to how people are divining my expectations so clearly.  I don't really want to do a point by point rebuttal, but let's see.

Sadly, bins are pretty useful when it comes to reasonably storing things without quantum stockpiling.  Stone blocks are one particular example of an item that really benefit from bins, but can't themselves be efficiently routed to various construction sites without minecarts or vast amounts of dwarfpower (which isn't really very efficient, come to think of it).  I was probably more frustrated than one might expect about this, because more efficient hauling was the one thing I was really interested in this version for.  My own hang up, so moving on;

Hah!  Imbecile management is probably more accurate, yes.  However it does totally fit the tenuous definition of space management game that I'm using as defined by TVTropes, because I think it covers the genre pretty well.

Finally, the only thing wrong with old versions is that I've already played them to death;  Like a lot of people I started during the 40d update drought, so it sort of feels like been there/done that. 

Thanks for being mellow about everything;  the spite in my comments was directed at other... individuals and I feel sort of bad now that I'm reading you responding to them

Just... as a minor update, if anyone is interested, the minecart made two successful trips before it was stolen by Kea, along with the two wheelbarrows in the brick stockpile.

Damn you Dwarf Fortress and your freakishly strong wildlife!


(disclaimer;  I'm not complaining this time, it's just funny.)
