Bay 12 Games Forum

It should be change in his personal routine I guess -- one is openness to new personal experiences (adventurousness), and one is more abstract.  I've noted down the language problem for the personality rewrite, which should drop a bomb in this whole thing anyway.

Wow, my mild confusion merited Toady One responding. I am...honored, I guess.
Also slightly confused, as I expected several other people to post random ideas of how it would work long before Toady One would have a chance of noticing.

I was glancing at my dwarves to select a good leader.
"He is resistant to change. He is open-minded to new ideas."

Have you given him carpentry to do?
Is he in a burrow?

Also, this forum needs a better stealth color.

I know the feeling, I do.

You can use the [color] tag and add hex values instead of the default red, green etc.

A. What hex values?
B. How?

Indeed. Even with something as simple as plump helmets, a masterpiece lavish meal is usually worth 2000-8000 dorfbux, sometimes more. Gold bars are something like 200, if i'm not completely wrong.

So four plump helmets are worth forty gold bars. Huh.

16 vs 16,000. No, a hundred plumps for one gold bar.
Unless you cook them.
...
Huh, I bet +gold roast+s would be really valuable. (How do you make the dwarfbuck symbol?)

Urist McTrader has bought The Planet of Beards with Monkeythunder, the adamantine prepared meal barrel.



Would be amusing indeed.

Un. Der. Statement.

The biggest difference between this game and Assasin's Creed (which I agree about btw) is that Dwarf Fortress wasn't subject to alot of hype and promises before it was released.  That's what made AC seem so cool then be such a disappointment.  Whereas DF is being released to you AS IT IS BEING CREATED.

That said, I like the new embark method.  I get all tingly when I embark now, wondering if I'm going to get something good...

or if it's just Microcline a-freaking-gain.

I like microcline. And olivine. Those are my favorite colors of rock, and frankly if it's rock, it's rock, and all of my volcano embarks had plenty of magma-safe alunite.
Despite my "rock is rock" statement, though, I would like to know a bit about areas I'm embarking on. Both out of vague intrest, and to see if sand/no aquifers are in areas I want to make glass in/anywhere. Yes, it's part of the !!Fun!!, but sometimes (or usually; I still feel like a beginner for the most part) I want to start with fun and work up to !!Fun!! when my dwarf population reaches a high enough level.

So, floating down ramps? Never seen those before... hmm. Actually, this would be a trivial addition to the deramp tool.

Right. Try the deramp tool from this build: https://github.com/downloads/peterix/dfhack/dfhack-0.5.12-deramptest.zip

Untested, it might eat babies and set cats on fire, etc. Backup your save.

the deramp tool doesnt work because you cant actually select these downward slopes for deramping

It works because I changed it.

I thought that was obvious from what you said.

Learned about it from TV Tropes.
Read the wiki for a few months or so.
Finally downloaded. Did a (very) little modding.
Tried to figure out how to goblin-fort.
Signed up to these very forums to try and figure a couple odd things out. Search for "Ustrogast Unu, the goblin fort" and "Slaves to armok...Goblin Fortress" if you want to find them.
(I never did figure out screenshots, BTW.)
