DF Bug Reports / Totems are not in the crafts in trade depot...
« on: September 05, 2008, 08:06:00 am »
At some time they were, but no they aren't anymore which is kinda annoying after several +20 goblin ambushes. I started wondering why my stockpile seemed so full all the time and noticed that my dwarves haul narrow clothes into my bins but not the totems (well, a couple, but not the 80 I need to sell to make some room). And since they are not shown in the craft section, I usually forget them until I have bought out the caravan.

Okay, I could offer them to the traders as bribes gifts to their leaders, but it seems so unchallant to give them let's say 20 totems.

So, please, could the totems be added t the crafts list?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Carnivore deers

And actually goats eat almost anything, includind metal cans, so maybe in future versions we must fear for the [ALL_HUNGRY] goats that eat our steel bars :)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Carnivore deers
« on: September 02, 2008, 02:18:06 am »
So, some deers got stuck in my cagetraps and I decided to tame them. To my suprise all 4 deers were tamed by giving them fish (black bullhead trout, if I remember right). One was tamed by my ranger and three by my DM. So it wasn't a fault in for example my DM's view of world.

I was wondering, should there be a [HERBIVORE] -tag attached to creatures that won't eat meat (like elves...)?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / My dwarves have a sense of irony...
« on: August 11, 2008, 06:57:28 am »
After an extensive goblin siege (20 casualties on my side :'(), miasma and stuff all my 6 jail cages were in use and more criminals needed some penal housing. I ordered 10 more metal cages to be made and about a day after that my metalcrafter takes on an aspect of a fey and claims my only forge. Great. After nearly a month of furious work she produces this:

Erläth Eren, "Thinshoved the Band of Liberty", a billon chain.

Those goblins that will come next year and slaughter every one (unless I'm lucky) will probably understand and put that legendary chain into good use when they find it...

DF Suggestions / Shark pup numbers...
« on: July 10, 2008, 08:49:12 am »
While updating DF wiki-site, I noticed that sharks produce less pups than in real world. For example Blacktip reef shark really has 2 to 4 pups per year, in DF there will be only one per year. Is this because of sharks being too nasty critters for dwarves ("oh, I really love my shark skin thongs even though it cost that poor fisherdwarf his left leg...") or is there some other reason that I'm missing?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Can't Find a Good Starting Location
« on: November 05, 2007, 08:55:00 am »
So far I haven't had any problems with my starting locations. Well, I haven't found any metals from the latests but I have played only an hour or so... I usually try to take an area near mountains, because I can trade for trees or bring them with my starting caravan...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: sandless map?
« on: October 31, 2007, 01:03:00 pm »
Umm, why do you need sand, for glass? If you drain a pond you might find some, but it might be easier just to dig under it...

hit and set area as dump area. Then tell your dwarves to dump the stone. They will also pause every time they hit damp stones...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Meeting Area

Well, in the old system all the animals would flock in the gate or in the statue garden. No they bundle up on the meeting area...

Yeah, that seems to work as well and it is also more power efficient. Besides all windmills in real world are made in that way...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / My dwarves are eating spiders!?
« on: October 22, 2007, 08:14:00 am »
I was trapping in cave river for lobsters and cave fish to be put into my aquarium. I did get them and I also got a couple of cave spiders. Well, I didn't need the traps anymore, so I left them into the traps in animal stockpile. Suddenly, during the game I realize one of them is missing. I shrug and assume that it died or something. After few months I actually see one dwarf coming to the animal stockpile, crab the spider, go to the table and eat it. I was dumb struck. I have a lot of food so (s)he just couldn't be hunting for vermin. As far as I know, spiders don't show in kitchen as edible/cookable like lobsters do... Has anyone other had this kind of behavior in their forts...

-Matias

Ps. As an afterthought, I have seen S.-American indians eating tarantulas, so it isn't so horrid after all, just weird...
