DF Bug Reports / Strange Mood Dwarf does not claim workshop
« on: April 04, 2010, 01:44:14 am »
I've only had 1 dwarf go into a mood in my fortress so far, he ran into the gathering hall and stood around until he went insane.  Any possible legitimate causes for this?

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma pipe questions
« on: July 22, 2008, 07:50:05 am »
How does the filling mechanism of magma pipes work?  If I dig into one from above will it fill upwards?  Past it's initial top altitude?  Will it flood the map?  What if I dig a large portion of the pipe out, as it's refilling obviously it will keep flowing outwards from the pipe, will it force magma up any Z levels that aren't in the pipe main?

Magma pressure is just sort of a mysterious thing...  I find it hard to understand the mechanics of it...

Does anyone have advice on safe usage of magma pipes for a magma economy?

DF Suggestions / Remove trader negotiation
« on: April 10, 2008, 05:33:00 am »
No you moron, I don't want to trade all my iron and steel armors that I specifically traded from the humans for my military so the mountain home can make 10000$ profit on what is supposed to be a 2000$ transaction.  I thought the 1000$ profit I was giving you was already pretty damn fair.

Ok, granted I put the item in the trade depot in the first place, but FFS, it's buried in one of my 25 armor bins full of leather and other assorted crap dead goblins gave me... I can't really selectively remove it before it goes in the trade depot, and it's definitely not my fault the damn retard military dwarfs just sort of forgot to pick the stuff up the entire last year it's been sitting around rotting in bins.

ARG, this is the most frustrating thing ever.  It makes trading impossible when I can't even trade a couple barrels of dwarven wine into my fortress for a few stone crafts without the opposing trader demanding the most expensive iron plate mail I have in my fortress.  Maby you can get the plate mail in a different transaction, but I'm sure as hell not casually tacking it on in a transaction where I'm already giving a 40% profit margin.

Seriously.  If a feature like negotiation is in such an unfinished state don't put it in the game yet D:

I have done sales work, it doesn't work to demand a customer buy's a new laptop when they came in for a USB cable.  That's essentially what the traders in game are doing to players right now.
