A dwarf titan is also and oxymoron.
I think a massive sky-chariot pulled by dragons and rocs would be awesome.

If a dwarf is asleep and is swept into an aquifer, s/he should wake up.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Note to Urist--In which you express your frustration to your dwarves

Dear Urist McCarpenter,
I know the "build site" is submerged. At least wait until you are almost done before canceling! At this rate we should be done piercing the aquifer in...three years.
Sincerely,
At least you don't fall asleep in the aquifer.

Nothing. He'd just rest until no one brought him water and he died of thirst.
(Remember, dwarves reproduce via spores.)
What would Urist do if he was playing Spore?

African and South American lungfish are capable of surviving seasonal drying out of their habitats by burrowing into mud and estivating throughout the dry season.
You have to keep in mind, at all times, that this game IS NOT FINISHED... There are so many little things like this that toady will get to eventually, one could go crazy fussing over them all.
Want to talk about logic, you can 'distill' beer from wheat and nothing else, and have seeds left over to plant after you are done! No water needed, and the part of the wheat you normall would consume IS the seed, and you dont distill beer, you brew it!
I could go on and make a huge wall of text out of the myriad things that are not right, but really, it just boils down to the fact that a lot of what we are playing with are simple placeholders that have minimum functionality and will be fleshed out at a later time.

Boatmurdered (maybe cheating?) got some souley sword, Brain from Cortex Command, and Keyblade. I was apparently the first to think of that.
Draltha got Panda Bear Guy from Ursadon, Colossus from Shadow of the Colossus, and Kongor, a giant gorilla from Heroes of Something.

I know, it's weird. Back in my first fort, I had seven goblins and two dozen trolls because A. I had modded all civs to be CIV_CONTROLLABLE and B. trolls were the only domestic critter.

Have you ever wanted to write a story about a DF world like Threetoe does? If so, this is the place to do it! You don't have to analyze your story if you don't want to, but it is encouraged.

Dwarven Hang Glider XXX!
Hm, sounds like an interesting feature...alcohol-powered hang gliders...I wonder if they can be modded in now?
Amphibious Monster Carnage? I guess you shouldn't have taken [IMMOBILE_LAND] off of carp!
Arcane Demon House? You mined a little too much blue stuff...same with Fierey Worm Mansion.

WWUD if he found a forgotten beast, and of the two routes back to the fortress, one had traps that would stop the FB, and the other was defenceless?
What would Urist do if s/he designed a dwarvish version of Battle School? Non-Ender's-Game readers need not apply, as they don't know what I'm talking about.

Download Just Embark and embark wherever.
Note that only towns, hamlets, cities, forts, and caves are populated (or even built!) at the moment.

DF Modding / Re: Storing Soap Lumps
« on: June 26, 2011, 07:31:34 pm »Er, perhaps you don't understand. I have rocks made out of cat soap and stuff. Cat soap does not appear in the stockpiles lists.Then it should be as simple as altering your stockpile permissions.Soap only comes in the form of bars, unless you've modded in a "soap stone". So just make a bar/block pile and change the settings so that only soap bars can be placed there.I actually modded in a reaction to turn soap bars (bars made of soap) into soap...rocks? (...rocks? made of soap).
You won't be able to make mechanisms or anything with it though, you need to mod in a soap boulder for that, and then create a custom reaction to take a soap bar and make a boulder out of it.
In order to make a stockpile with soap "stone" you'd just enable stones in a stockpile and then disallow anything that wasn't soap.

DF General Discussion / Re: Friends' reactions to Dwarf Fortress
« on: June 26, 2011, 07:28:29 pm »Soon he was like fuck this fucking nerd game and he's been laughing at me ever since....He's laughing at you for being nerdy? You might need new friends, or at least friends with a new sense of humor.
Another friend hates dwarfs. That's it. Just hates dwarfs.Stupidest reason to dislike DF ever. Just mod the game and tell him/her that it's supposed to say "Elf Retreat." Anyone stupid enough to hate a game for its involvement of dwarves is stupid enough to fall for that trick.
Several of my friends and acquaintances have asked about DF, and some even listened to more detailed stuff. Strangely, I never got around to mentioning fell moods, unfortunate accidents, or tantrum spirals. My little brother dislikes it, supposedly due to its lack of a win condition. He started a couple forts (well, I started them and he worked on them some); one of these became my largest fort ever.
