Bay 12 Games Forum

Yeah, a lot of the time it's best to only pick out part of a post.

It would also prevent someone from, for some reason, modifying what someone originally said.

On the other hand, it would allow someone to change what they said in the first place to make the quote make no sense.

And quote pyramids could be problematic.

Always remember to wear a seatbelt when ramming bears, kids.

Nice work.

In order to build a ramp (be it tracked or not), the dwarf must be able to stand on the same level. Dig out a tile adjacent to where you want the ramp to go, and it should work.

In my first ever game of DF, I was killed by a wolf.

Happily, your game has blessed me in the same manner. Liking it so far!

This bug did inspire a webcomic over four years ago:

The source code still looks to send the message for examine, just after the check for if you are exiting a vehicle It works when I try it, appears in the top left, are you sure you don't get it?

The message I get is "Examine where? (Direction button)"

I am running off the latest source release though, so if your using a prebuilt version it might differ.

I'm using the latest Windows build that Whales posted.

The message fails to appear either when you are on foot, or if you are sitting in/on a vehicle and you select N when it asks if you want to exit.

But if that was the case, why didn't it work? Maybe it wasn't empty enough to be able to be refilled... In which case I should perhaps ask whales to change the message from "invalid direction" to "tank is already full".

If the tank's fill level is less than F, then you should be able to fill it. It takes many "fill" jobs to actually fill the tank to its maximum, and there is a message that tells you this. I'm not sure if there's an additional message if you try again.

A valid direction is any tile containing part of the vehicle, including diagonals. You don't need to select the fuel tank.
It can be refilled as long as your character is adjacent to both the pump and any part of the vehicle, so it could be two tiles away.

Lies. >:|

Huh?

Are you using the arrow/vi keys or the numpad to select the vehicle?

I use the arrow/vi keys myself (no numpad).

Is the forum clock ~8 minutes slow for everyone? I keep seeing posts appearing from the (slight) past.

I would have thought this was kept accurate automatically.
