DF Gameplay Questions / Quickie on magma forges etc
« on: July 16, 2013, 04:36:50 pm »
Evening all,

I was thinking it's probably not too much more difficult to dig down and get the metal industry started up using magma instead of getting a coal one going first... But which is the easiest way to design it, bring the magma up to the fort, or just put the forges down with the magma and have them haul stuff up to the fort? Or any other way that's the easiest?

Thanks!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Need a little help with world gen
« on: June 17, 2012, 11:47:43 am »
Hey Guys,

So im fed up of getting embarks with plenty of ores and flux but with no fuel and the other way round etc. I was wondering, how would I go about making a world with more volcanoes so I can have a site with all my ores and a lovely volcano powered metal industry?

I have never tried adv. world gen, and I have no idea how to do this! So any help would be nice. Also if there is a good adv. world gen tutorial that would be nice :)

DF Gameplay Questions / Quick farm and magma questions
« on: June 06, 2012, 06:56:13 am »
Hey Guys,

Tbh i've never come across how to do these, so I thought I would ask. If there is already a thread sorry.

1. For seed stockpiles near my farm, how do I prevent them from being placed in barrels/bags etc.? (Because it's a waste)

2. How do I bring up magma to my fort, from a magma pool/sea? (Takes ages to haul crap from the forges down there, and I don't want to have to move my fort down.)

Cheers

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves not eating
« on: May 07, 2012, 12:56:44 pm »
Hey Guys,

So, iv'e noticed in my last 2 embarks this problem. At the moment half my fort is happy and going about their daily business setting up the fort, however about 10 other dwarves are very unhappy, because they aren't eating. They are all hunting vermin to eat which makes them more unhappy and I can't seem to get them to eat, even though I have plenty of food??

Please help  :-[

Other Games / Wall Street Online!
« on: October 16, 2011, 02:06:55 pm »
Hey Guys,

Just here to spread the word about a new lil thing that is in development by a friend of mine that goes by the name of Wall Street Online.

The game is essentially a stock exchange simulator, with alot more being added as we speak! There is plenty to do there! Invest, earn cash, gamble in the casino, chat in the forums, and there is much more to come!

The game is still in very early development, so don't be expecting a super polished uber game! :P However there are great plans for the future!

Here it is: http://wallstonline.net/

Any questions, just ask! :D

DF Gameplay Questions / For gods sake.
« on: October 09, 2011, 04:58:35 am »
Hey again,

How do I create a nice deep pit to put under a draw bridge without my useless miners killing themselves by messing up parts, trying to get back to the messed up part then falling to their stupid deaths?

Thanks

For me it is basically...

Hey Guys,

Atm i get bored of my fortresses pretty quick, so i was wondering what some nice mods would be to try out?

I don't want anything gamechanging in the fact i will have no idea what to do, but maybe some simple mods that add a few enemies or something?

Thanks

DF Gameplay Questions / Beasts, Titans, and all things deadly...
« on: September 24, 2011, 09:39:56 am »
Hey Guys,

I've been playing DF for a while now, and have loved it.

But recently ive been very bored with it, as i can never get past the setting up of my metal industry, as something always goes wrong, and i am getting very bored. This is usually because of my FPS.

By the time i have most my fort up, my FPS is at about 1<fps>10. This is with only 40 dorfs. It's pathetic. And un-playable. I heard you need at least 80 dorfs to trigger events like beasts ect.? (Or something else that will be impossible for me anyway)
And i really want to encounter one of these, so i was wondering if you could change something so these beasts or whatever can start spawning at anytime/alter the no. of dwarves needed?

Thanks

Creative Projects / Could anyone kindly make me an avatar?
« on: September 22, 2011, 01:43:58 pm »
Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if anyone would be awesome enough to make me a nice Dwarf Fortress-esque avatar?

I just needed a nice 150x150 avatar for some forums, and Im getting into the DF spirit (learning how to play atm) and loving it! Plus DF avatars are awesome! :P

Unfortunately, i cannot offer you much, apart from my eternal love <3 ;)

Thanks

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Metal Industry...
« on: September 18, 2011, 10:45:49 am »
Hey guys,

Ive been playing DF for a bit now (well, less playing, more losing. I mean FUN) and i have yet to really progress. (cause i suck)

I can do everything OK sometimes up to the point where the next stage is to set up the Metal Industry, which is basically at the top of the things to set up in a new fort, so then it can go on to become more fun and progress to things like military/trading/seiges ECT.

Anyway, how long/how many forts did it take you to be able to easily/efficiently set up the Metal Industry.

Im on about 10 failed forts and counting, not to get it up :(

« on: September 17, 2011, 01:35:20 pm »
Hey Guys.

Sorry i couldn't think of what to call all the stuff and skills you embark with :P

Anyway, i was wondering, what skills/equipment do you embark with and what do you think is the best set up to embark with? Cause i need some good ones to save, as i have no idea -.-

Thanks!

DF Gameplay Questions / Square ASCII?
« on: September 17, 2011, 06:40:05 am »
Hey Guys

I recently started playing DF again, and decided this time i would try out the ASCII and try and like it. Luckily, i do love it and use it all the time now, however, there is 1 thing that bugs me. The rectangular shape of the tiles, it can be very annoying to me.

So i was wondering where i could find a tileset/alter something so i still have ASCII, but it has square tiles? Ive heard people before say they use square ASCII sets, but how do i get this then?

Danke!

DF Gameplay Questions / Few questions regarding ASCII...
« on: September 13, 2011, 02:54:39 pm »
Hey Guys,

So I was wondering, how long did it take you to be able to play with the ASCII graphics? Like fluently understand/get used to them?

I just tried to use them, but something happened. I put ASCII back on from the tileset i was using, then when i started my world and embarked, boom. It lagged like hell. Litterally it ran at 1 frame every 3 seconds, and my computer was almost completely frozen? But why? The tilesets worked fine! :S

Thanks
