Since the prayer needs dont really work I suggest to make them simplified. That is you can have one need to pray to a nonspecific god and one need to pray to a personal god. The nonspecific one would be satisfied just by praying to anything (just go and pray) and the personal one must be to one of the personal gods/dieties. Either one the dwarf has would satisfy the need.

This way you wont have dwarves with 8 gods go around being worried they havent prayed to every single one of them all the time. Also you can tweak how often dwarves need to do either and have them change depending on personality. Personal god prayer being more rare on most dwarves would be an example. You could also have the priests be able to go out and satisfy personal prayer needs which would also satisfy help somebody need for the priest.

I just had an unexpected problem which Ive never faced before. A magma crab went up in the middle of all my magma forges and smelters. Since they are at the moment pretty weak one of my furnace operators just clobbered it. Unfortunately parts of it fell into the lava channels and is spreading miasma all over. There is no way to pick it up since I lazily dug the channels out straight from the magma sea. I abused dfhack and autodumped the corpse since I couldnt find a solution to the problem and quite frankly hadnt expected the crab to rot in magma. Had there been any non cheaty solution though?

Just had my first vampire dwarf in 2014 and its also the first time Ive seen that a dwarf has "wants to rule the world" as a goal. Does this even happen to normal dwarves?

Is there some way to mod evil enviroments so that I get the dead plants, zombies/skeletons, the usual evil denizens, evil weather without having my dead dwarves rising randomly? Because except for that I prefer to play on evil enviroments.

The problem is that its the fifth time a tower attacks me in df2014 (out of ten forts), just as my first wave of immigration arrives. This coupled with the fact that zombies are much thougher now. The only real way of beating them is to mass cagetraps at the entrances. However by the first immigration its a stretch to get enough traps up to stop 15x zombombos. Any other way of facing them with ~15 dwarves is just not feasible.

As such I propose having a minimum pop and value before the towers attack. Just like titans. It doesnt have to be that high though, just high enough that I wont have to build my fort around getting traps asap just because there happens to be one tower on the continent (which seems to always happen if the history goes past 300). I mean I want to face zombies and skeletons that early I will just play on an evil biome. That is quite fun, but I still want to have the choice of not having them knocking at the front door by spring.

I was feeling inspired and energized today so I thought I would start translating the whole dwarf language into swedish so that it could be used for either mine or someone elses future modded civilization. If I ever complete it it wouldnt be today though, because I tend to be very lazy about my projects unless people care about it.

Then it occured to me that perhaps someone has done this already. As far as google tells me none has but is there someone who has better knowledge over which languages has been created or not? I think Ive seen russian and finnish at some point in a mod (perhaps it was masterwork heh).

The number after BEACH_FREQUENCY what does it mean? On whales its 10 what chance does that mean?

Lets say I wanted to mod the whales so that they are more frequent in number and that beachings are more frequent in order to actually see a beaching happen, is that possible without having some kind of crash in the whale population?

Any dwarf scientist know any of this?

So I havent really kept up with the updates on the soon to be released version of df. Didnt he keep the history of the fort after you abandoned it? Doesnt this mean that if you get to the clowns arent they free to roam in adventure mode and possibly will come to a newly created fort on the same world? Also as it seems he just added attacking towns, can this mean that you might infact stumble upon clowns setting up a circus in town? Cotton candy for everyone.
