DF Gameplay Questions / Dump command not working?
« on: November 20, 2013, 07:59:37 pm »
So I have been watching some lets plays to get some good ideas and such, and I see that when say they dig out a room for stockpiles or for bedrooms, they use the dump command to make a lot of rocks purple/pink in a large square, then the dwarves come over and move them to the hallways. When I do that, no one ever moves the stones. Is there something I am missing? I did what the wiki said and tried to mimic the letsplayers commands but nothing works.

DF Gameplay Questions / Question about Bedrooms
« on: November 20, 2013, 01:00:28 pm »
If I build a lot of the 1x4 bedrooms and place a bed, container, dresser and a door, do I need to assign each bed to a dwarf or will the dwarves sort that out for me?

Thanks in advance!

DF Gameplay Questions / Question about workshops.
« on: November 18, 2013, 01:47:00 pm »
Lets say I say make pots, then put it on repeat. Then say make something else, lets say blocks. If I put both on repeat, does the dwarf alternate making them both repeatedly or does he only make the top one over and over.

Anyone got one with a Volcano and a river really close that the terrain isnt in the insane 10+ all over?

Ive looked at various sites but when I use the world gen with Masterwork it looks nothing like what its supposed to be.

DF Gameplay Questions / Finding out what a Dorf in a mood needs.
« on: October 19, 2011, 03:29:23 pm »
So when a Dwarf goes into one of his moods and claims a workshop or forge or whatever. How do I find out what he wants?

Someone told me once in a chat that they will draw what they need. I tried every key I can think of when I have a dwarf selected but I dont see anything new or added. Am I missing something?

DF Gameplay Questions / Reclaim?
« on: September 21, 2011, 03:40:43 pm »
So I saw on the forums every now and then about reclaiming old embark sites. I first saw this in a post about Fortresses in the Ocean and reclaiming that area later for a new fortress would fill all the old tunnels under the ocean with water.

So how does one do this?

I tried on my map as I love it so much and just lost my 3rd fortress on it but would LOVE to embark on my first area that I died within 30 min of embarking. However the "e" for embark is greyed out.

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma and Forges.
« on: September 17, 2011, 05:39:29 pm »
Channeling Magma for Magma smelters and such.

I have only found 2 videos on how to channel magma for smelters. One was done 2 years ago and required pumps and such...My magma is 3Z above the river at my Embark.

The second video was about 6 months old, however when I tried it (Thank god I made a back up) it not only killed both dwarfs (Guy in the video said it may happen) but it also overflowed when he said it wouldn't.

Lastly I tried it the way its on the noob guide that stickied but the magma even after a few years doesn't fill the channels past 3.

Does anyone have a better way of channeling magma from a volcano for magma forges?

DF Gameplay Questions / How do I equip a pickaxe?
« on: September 15, 2011, 05:03:52 pm »
So the first caravan finally arrived. I only had a few crafts made at the time since food is becoming really hard to make atm....prolly my fault..

ANYWAY....I had enough cash to buy a pickaxe. I made a 3rd Miner in my Dorf Therapist and set him to mine. He sits there doing nothing because he has no pickaxe equipped, how do I equip one on him?

Thanks in advance.

DF Gameplay Questions / Question about saved games.
« on: September 15, 2011, 10:26:05 am »
So I tried for a few hours to get a volcano on a world gen. No luck. Surfed the DF Save datsbase and found a map that is only a few XX.XX versions behind (Link here) http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=63144.0 it is a reclaimed map save. I browsed the thread but could not find any information on how to remove the old embark at the location this guy wants people to set up at.

How do I go into this save file and remove the previous embark town.

DF Gameplay Questions / How does one go past the boundry?
« on: September 13, 2011, 11:39:39 am »
I notice when I start a new game. The grid is rather small, and I hit dead ends when mining or digging where the screen wont go any further North South East or West.

Is there a way around this or is this the only range of the world I can see and use?

DF Gameplay Questions / Help with moving items between levels!
« on: September 12, 2011, 10:18:57 pm »
Ok so I dug out my first set of rooms from ground level into a hillside. Great...

Build 4 stairs going down in a 2x2, dug out some new rooms. Awesome.....Stuff moved from upper to lower rooms easily.

Built a 3rd layer down. Built 4 more stairs. Could only make the bottom 2 up/down and the top 2 only down for some reason on my 2x2 stairs. Fine....

Tried to move bets into my freshly dug out 2x1 rooms on the 3rd layer and it says "Bed" "Placement" "No Access to Bed"

Dorfs are moving freely up and down so what gives? I tried deleting the stairs and using the ways mentioned on the DF Wiki and nothing happens although I did make 2 stairs Flash X's (I am using the Lazy newb Ironhand tileset.

I am a noob to this game and only have 15 hours of playtime...What is going on here?
