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 / Re: How do I equip a pickaxe?
« on: September 16, 2011, 12:39:16 pm »My dwarven miners and woodcutters work fine if they are set in therapist. But yeah, try unforbidding his stuff since the default settings are to forbid anything that is dropped by dead dwarves.
Ohhhhh
Well the saying goes learn something new everyday....This game is like when I was learning the space game X Series...Learn 1000 things every day..
Thanks guys

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.

No I want to remove this persons embark location. If you click on the link it will show where he wants people to start but the save file he gives already had an embark site there. How do I remove it.

« 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.

« on: September 13, 2011, 12:16:14 pm »You can only do stuff in your embark area. You can make your embark bigger than the standard 4x4 in the embark screen (but I guess you already know that).
What would be a good Embark size ? My computer is about 2-3 years old.
