DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Ultimate military training course?
« on: March 08, 2012, 02:47:53 pm »
I'd imagine the ultimate training course a bit like this:

1. Wade in water for swimmer skill
2. get armor and go into danger room for defense skills
3. eat poison meat that causes very extreme pain to increase willpower (modded, ofcourse. "tests" in arena show that elephants injected whit venemous boiling gold lie down for a while, but are just about invurnable to pain after they wake up. Also, the corpses evaporate after they die.)
4. Demonstations whit high level teacher + high level axedorf to increase student and teacher skills

And thats all i can think of.

« on: March 07, 2012, 10:32:40 am »
I'm not really an expert at this, and im still waiting to make my first fort in the new version, but once i do so, i would like some advice on how to save precious fps without turning weather or temperature or the like off.
So, what are your tips?

DF General Discussion / Evil Dust Sickness in arena
« on: March 04, 2012, 11:16:23 am »
I FINALLY DID IT!
I made 3 wolves contract evil dust sickness in arena.
How, you ask?
Well, the answer is simple.
You first generate a pocket world whit very short history (just so you can have any evil dust at all) and run that in arena.
Then you make a big block of rough rock walls (not at the top layer, it wont fall) and have it collapse.
Then it will make cave-in dust, out of lignite, black diamond, microline, you name it.
even boiling mamga and frozen slime extract.
and evil dust.
Once you found your evil dust/ash/wathever, you just put some wolves or any creature of your choice in the spot you found it in.
Given they survive, they now have evil dust sickness!

EDIT:
Some sub-!!science!! observation tells me that a wolf husk is easily killed by a dwarf that is grand master in everything and has full adamantite armor/weapons.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Intresting arena quirk
« on: February 24, 2012, 12:59:51 pm »
I just found som someething in arena, especially regarding cave-ins, i just noticed that if you have a 'section of the cavern collapse' (by making water and then lava over it in the air, but not the top layer, it somehow hangs on to the top of the world magically) the cave-in dust will sometimes be creeping dust.
This will be hard to use, but i tought i'd just throw it in here anyway. (also, the other dust will ocasionally be lignite and such.)

i think it just picks a random material, because a part of the fog is 'frozen rotten slime'

EDIT:
No luck at making husks so far, i forgot for a moment that the floors actually collapse too if you collapse other blocks on them.
But i just noticed that i got a duck infected whit rotten slime sickness.

EDIT:
More discoveries!
If you manage to catch some of the dust in water, you will get 'rock laced whit (stonename)' or 'rock laced whit MAGMA'

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Liver disfunction, deadly?
« on: February 23, 2012, 11:03:58 am »
I'm actually wondering if liver disfunction will eventually kill a dwarf, i dont really have a way to test this tough, since i have no running fort at this moment and the other option is modding giant desert scorpions (again, i love these things) to inject a liver-destroying venom, but they usually die (Aardvark 1 has succumbed to infection!) before i can do any real observations.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / How to kill this vampire?
« on: February 21, 2012, 04:39:07 am »
I just found a vampire, hes coated in quite a few layers of (creature) man bone/skin/hair rings/bracelets/etc.
Problem is, i would not like if the entire civ became hostile to me, since i dont have any companions, since i just got flanked in the dungeons. (human crossbow skills ftw!)
So, anyway so i can kill this vampire and drink his blood without having the entire civ going hostile to me?
(also, the nearest other civ is quite far away, im on a kind of sahara-island, the middle only contains a few bandit camps, only the sides are civilized)
What to do? i want vampirism pretty bad.


EDIT:
Doesnt look like its gonna be soon tough.
I fell into a pit in the catacombs, filled whit goblins and got both my arms lopped off.
I managed to retire, but that adventurer is no longer available.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Show us your elf vs goblin arenas/deathpits
« on: February 09, 2012, 12:55:35 pm »
I dont have one of myself (yet) but i guess most people have a little pit/arena they use to spend time and useless prisoners by pitting them against eachother in arenas.
That said, show them!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / (probably dumb) flux question.
« on: February 01, 2012, 09:55:13 am »
I have just generated a new world, i have found quite a few good spots whit clay, soil and metals, but flux stone isnt on the list, i did a search, there are alot of places whit flux stone, but it doesnt mention this in the list of the stuff.
Last time i checked, it DID mention it.

DF Modding / Learning to mod, im doing what everybody else probably did at one point. (solved
« on: January 31, 2012, 12:22:28 pm »
I want giant desert scorpions to inject boiling gold into their victims.
I know, unoriginal.
but yet, it would teach me how.
That said, i just copied the gold raws from material_inorganic_metal or something, and changed the TEMPLATE_POISON to TEMPLATE_METAL.
Now when i test it in arena, its just 'n/a spatters over (body part)'

I got it to work!
thanks for helpign me :D
i have molten a alligator body

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / CPU - Cat Processing Unit
« on: January 30, 2012, 01:27:13 pm »
I just had a crazy-ass idea for an efficient unfortunate accident machine cat processing unit.

Its basicly, you put a bronze collosus in a room, say, a 3x3 island in the middle of that room, so the bronze collosus cant get out. then you drop in cats from above, and the collosus throws them around into the gaps surrounding his island. they fall a few z-levels where dwarves can butcher and process the cat bodies.
Not efficient, but amusing to watch (i think). havent tested it yet, but if anybody could, i would be very amused.

DF Gameplay Questions / Whats the matter with these lungfish?
« on: November 06, 2011, 05:00:16 am »
Seriously.
I have just expanded my farms, evrything is going well and bla bla bla.
Then i see 2 lungfish just laying around in my farm.
You have to first go down my main staircase, go trough the dining room, into the food storage and then up a stairs to get to my farms.
And yet there are lungfish in my farm.
I really dont get it.
