DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How to Deal with Loss

Yeah, real sad.
Sadly as win was uninstalling steam and all its folders, including DF, including save folder.
Well, I understand that my 50+ y.o. fort had unattainable goals and I was playing at ~1 fps since around February, still, what a way to go...

Do you know that DF cloud saves is not a thing?

At the moment this is my range's layout

Dorfs shoot right to left.
I'm thinking of building 3 other ranges on the left (shooting left to right) using 3 existing targets by overlapping archery range.
Has anyone tried it - will it work or i'm better off erecting 3 new targets?

What is "better": roads or floors?

They're playing "Floor is !!!lava!!!"
I'd fix it by cutting down the offending tree. IIRC dwarves don't (usually) get serious injuries if you cut a tree under them.

You can always fix stuff with lava.
Or just lock in the newly appointed noble.
Repeat till they get the gist.
I had a baron and king, but after one megabrawl I only got a mayor left. Which is pretty sad actually because I don't get wagons and noone gets appointed to a baron even though I have 200 dwarves.

I'm pretty sure that during flooding events my dwarves enjoyed mists for some time...
Then they were starting to drown.

Hm... Thousand of hours into my fort I noticed this option...
So, should it be on or off - what's the meta?
I've noticed that steam version has some difficulty sliders but I think that i've left it in the default positions...

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: About to lose my fort to CD fps death, trying to learn how to avoid it next time
« on: May 05, 2023, 05:49:15 am »
My fort has had less than 10 fps for a looooong time.
I got used to it.
In my case I believe that lots of cave invaders have the worst fps impact.
I also have some fun with water, but haven't seen it really affect my fps.
However after I killed a hundred or so of frogpeople and birdpeople my fps went up by 1 frame.

My caverns look mostly like this

I've decided that my quest for this fort is to clean up the caves.
The issue is: as soon as I open up a pathway there dwarves just rush en masse - just yesterday I lost ~70 civilians and 10+ militia because they would just rush for that silk sock no matter what.
I have burrows, I got the no go traffic too.
Are there any other valid methods or movement control apart from just locking the door?

I would kill for a whip made out of an elf spine.

Would you kill... an elf for it?

How do I stop soldiers from carrying food.
AFAIK the only working solution is to destroy all backpacks.
I kinda let it go - I do have to mark a rotten lavish meal here and there sometimes...

I know about the material - all of my sets are set to the right one (steel).
They wear armour over clothing.
I'm pretty sure that I saw some of my dwarves wearing steel low boots over socks.
It might be the culprit cause most dwarves who do wear low boots have socks underneath, whereas the majority of bootless dwarves (but not all )wear shoes.
If I tell them to take off the civilian clothes will it affect morale?
Cause I might risk a bare feet military over berserking one due to the unhappiness over lost silk shoes...

dwarves not using ammo properly

Well, I have 2 squads and it's an ongoing issue.
My solution - overstocking! I have literally thousands of bolts lying in different stockpiles around my battlement / range. It kinda works.

On the other hand I have  a different issue I dunno how to fix: low boots...
I got about 100 pairs of steel low boots in equipment stockpiles. But then almost noone in my military wear boots. What do I do???

Yeah, I'd say that's about right.
It is broken in the same way our real world is broken and dysfunctional.
