DF Suggestions / Re: Job priority
« on: March 11, 2013, 10:41:13 pm »
I feel like this defeats some of the "liquid AI" of dwarf fortress. Every dwarf is entitled to its own desires, opinions and work ethic. Being able to immediately define their work ethics seems a little out-of-scope for my interpretation of dwarf fortress, but then again i could avoid the system if i wanted.

in theory.

I'm in a human town.. and theres goblins and humans hanging around.

Just chilling.

Looks like the population is about half/half and the entire list fortifications are made out of this really pretty purple rock stuff.

Rutile? No idea.

We're literally day and a half from two goblin towers and a necro tower.
oh man. The chef of this soupy civ is Lord Uthra Gugirrico. He apparently was very impressed with my mindless slaughter of two were beasts and now wants me to clean out his dungeon because his militia apparently can't handle it on their own.


took my <badass<*-Bronze Scimitar-*>badass>

Went down there, cleaved every single dude into bits but all the ladies were apparently beast mode and i have died a terribly painful death.

multi tile trees are gana bug me unless in a forest retreat. multi tile creatures I want to never see.

The only time i want to see a multi tile tree is when those bastard elves are building homes for me to destroy.

I've been using my own personal curse tiles. Large image ahead.

I don't think its complete yet so I've just been tweaking it and keeping an eye out for elements i don't like changing them slightly and continuing.

The tile set doesn't currently get in the way of the world gen tiles so it is still pretty pleasing to look at the global maps.

So we can string a few dozen coins together?

You can store coins in food, and the food is consumed thus destroying the coin.

Presumably if you store a body of coins in side of a single coin, when you pay for an item with that one "Master" coin then all your money is essentially gone.

So that is not a very smart way to store your dosh which is a shame.

I have been putting coins into my arrows and shooting/throwing them. If we could make a copper coin explode on impact i would say we have a definedRaw Mod of the Year.

The save game is gone. After killed tons of baddies i figured I'd go on over to a camp and figure out what kind of bandits are in the area.

Apparently master bowmen and incredibly powerful lashers.


Well.

Moving right along, time to start up a new character i guess and do some more work.

I just went into a dungeon and killed about 12 baddies. I was looking for just one backpack. I managed to spawn with out one some how.

(I'm 99% sure i didn't select human outsider.)

Here i am standing over a mountain of Left and Right gauntlets, chests, Greaves and Leggings of varied values.

Not one single backpack in all of this kingdom. Do i really have to go so far to find one? Christ.

Whats even better, is that when i clicked on the image you posted i got this instead!

After a few attempts i realized that i was actually clicking too much.

which is odd.

So!  I guess what we need to do now is get some more kidnapped kiddos to show up and read about how they feel!

Used Therapist at one point.

don't need to any more. i can maintain dwarfs very simply now with mono-tasks.  every dwarf has one or two tasks that every one must do, from there, you are your own person. Farming is a community task, Mining or Wood cutting is a community task. half of them are given mining and stone work, the other half are given carpentry and cutting.

every other task i want done gets done in a timely and efficient manner for some reason now days.

once i hit pop 70 i usually keep a work force of 10 haulers and hauling related tasks. That is all they do. just walk around and carry stuff.

I name them after children's programming so i don't noble them.



I've wanted to draw my own tile pack - mostly because all these pre-made tile sets are too damn flashy. i want simple as vanilla and just a little bit easier to read for my girlfriend. not "Oh wow that wall is so really actually looking like a wall!"
dangit.
