DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: [DFVD] Sooo... a queen consort just showed up...

"new migrants will be historical figures as often as possible"... so she is a historical figure. Looks like consorting to the queen didnt work out to well for her, and she came a wanderin in..

Dude, everyone has a door leading to nowhere for the sole purpose of admiration.

My door leads to another door, which leads to an engraving of a door admiring a door. If only I could get my artisans to emboss my doors with more doors.

DFVD is good enough. Easy to remember and type, and distinct.

Four good reasons to never call it that. This is dwarf fortress: slaves of armok after all, not mamsy pamsy elf fortress: easy and rational UI where everything makes proper sense.

If you dont already have a giant mountain sized gold statue of armok, full of gems and gold coins, and a pet dragon who breathes fire out of the statue's ass, then there really is no purpose to this thread.

Seriously not enough colons in these titles, and you guys are supposed to be dwarfish??

Slaves to Armok: God of Blood: Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress: Lascivious tales of Socks and Wine: Return of the Night of the Living Socks

is my vote. Please have the poll reflect this more proper choice, thank you.

I like this proposal. It would be shortened to StA:GoB:ChII:DF:LToSaW:RotNotLS then, I presume?

You are well on your way to dwarfdom, my good dwarf.

Speaking of the topographical function in the site finder, is there any way to edit the colors it uses as a display? I have no idea what Toady was thinking, but the overlapping color scale he chose (mine at least, is various shades of blue and grey and brown, and they OVERLAP) makes it nearly impossible to discern many of the elevations.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Thoughts on farming

« on: February 12, 2012, 12:16:24 pm »

I bring 1 dwarf who has grower5/brewer5, turn off harvesting for all other dwarves. Plant in 3x5 max (anything else is not only overkill, it tends to be inefficient and you get less for more work), once your dwarf is legendary you can even get this down to 1x3 or so and have more than enough. Legendary grower gives a big stack per "crop" space, and legendary brewer on top of that will make huge amounts of liquor from each stack. Cooking is overrated, just wait till you get a cook in your migrants, or train one up later, alcohol production is much, much more important.

Anyhow, there are a several really good threads about farming and the crunch involved, in fact, I believe one of them is stickied at the top of the forum in the gameplay help section.
