DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Impossible moods?

I disagree.  Having a fey mood occur where I can't fetch the materials is the equivalent of having one of my dwarves somehow get a terminal disease.  I know they're going to die, it's just a matter of time, and meanwhile they're virtually dead anyway.  The other dwarves just have to mourn and then find a way to survive without them.  It's essentially the same thing ... sometimes you just happen to find the "miracle cure" before they pass away.

DF Bug Reports / Re: Dwarves doing jobs not selected.
« on: November 07, 2007, 12:40:00 am »
Here's a list of jobs I've noticed any dwarf will do, regardless of their assigned jobs :

- Harvest food (unless you have Only Farmers Harvest on)
- Tear down construction (I've even had children do this)
- Bring items to the Depot
- Fill ponds (90% positive on this one)
- Trade at the Depot (unless you set the Depot to only allow the Broker)
- Track mud and blood all over your damn fortress
- Run like alley cats from the slightest thing, like mountain goats or raccoons

DF Bug Reports / Game locked up
« on: November 04, 2007, 08:16:00 am »
I just went through a marathon session of Dwarf Fortress for the past 6-ish hours, and just when I was ready to quit, the game locked up, costing me everything I had done.  I didn't do anything different than I had been doing all night, so I'm unsure what may have caused the freeze.  It was spring of my third year, and I had 63 dwarves in a mountainous area with a brook nearby.  There was really nothing odd happening at the time; I was watching my miner run towards the wall I had designated for him, and just before he got there, everything stopped.

Also, this made me think of a suggestion : would it be possible to implement an auto-save feature that occurs at the beginning of each season?  I think that would be infrequent enough that people wouldn't complain, but often enough that you wouldn't lose, say, two years worth of work like I just did.


(Sorry if this has already been posted.  I did a search and came up with nothing.)

DF Bug Reports / Re: Abandoned fortress crashes when loaded: Reclaim and Adve

I'm having this problem too.  Very disappointing, considering I built my last fortress with the intention of making it fun to revisit as an adventurer.

I call "Tallest Dwarf Fortress Fan".  I'm just shy of 6'6".

Awesome job, Rictus.  I'll spend tonight picking up the nuances on our fortress and probably do my turn tomorrow.  The only thing that may delay my turn would be the new version's release.

I'm already thinking about all the fun writing I'll get to do in my turn utilizing some of the excellent characters you've laid out.  Keep up the great work!

Why does everyone forget about me?  I'm supposed to be up after Rictus.

Apparently.  I really, REALLY hope Black Mage suddenly posts his update today.

... Okay then.  Black Mage?

(I'm going to laugh if it somehow ends up being my turn next.)

Okay, since Kjoery said he was busy this week, that means Savok's up, right?

How long are we planning on waiting for That Guy to show up?

Also while I'm thinking about it ... Nekose, could you edit your first post to include me in the list of players?  I keep getting left out and forgotten.
