Bay 12 Games Forum

um, im having a very major problem. Said very major problem is that I cant open up the website where you get the pre-installed package from.

I am having the same problem, Google Chrome just keeps telling me that it can't find the website.

Stuff like this is planned when civs get more fleshed out and interact with your fortress more.

Also it shouldn't be just humans or all humans that do stuff like this. Dynamic conflicts should develop based on many different factors.

All of that will eventually be possible in adventure mode.

I thought you meant items made on-site, not worldgen items.

Also, I think blood recovers to full the instant the creature is outside of combat and stops bleeding.

Imo blood should take a lot longer to recover.

For items I think it would be cool to notice something like "That Goblin siege was using weapons made by that human civ we're at war with! I wonder if they were stolen or maybe the humans gave it to them..." Just being able to notice a craftsman's handiwork or a civs symbol on weapons (which I think already is present on the weapons and armor of some siegers) would be cool. I'm not sure if items are tracked by who their maker is in fortress mode.

I play the game with 3rd party addons such as DFHack and Dwarf Therapist. But I've only started using them recently to deal with my really large fortresses I like to make. I've played the game with no problem completely by itself. I can even play without tilesets if I have to.

I guess I'm one of those people who would rather see more content instead of ui improvements.

And about the hate on the "simulation" aspect of the game. I love DF for how it simulates pretty much EVERYTHING. One day I hope every item will be tracked and you can trace who made it and where it came from, I want multi-material items, I want all creatures to be historical figures, I want realistic sieges, I want smarter dwarves, I want how much blood a dwarf has to be tracked, I want....etc. Complexity should not be traded for instant "fun"

There's just a lot I want before UI improvements, which should come after version 1.0. New features and bug fixing are way more important to me.

I don't think the worlds in Dwarf Fortress are big enough for a lot of variance in tech levels since the civs aren't isolated from each other.

Knowledge should be able to spread fairly quickly from one civ to another (trading steel weapons, teaching others how to forge steel, looting steel weapons from corpses, etc.)

Story based Dungeons I guess. As opposed to points of interest dungeons which are basically just go to place, kill shit if its there.

Ah ok.

Man I was hoping to play for a few hours tonight but looks like I'll have to wait till tomorrow when the servers are (hopefully) back up.
