DF General Discussion / Issue with LNP 0.47.05 tileset changing
« on: April 13, 2021, 12:16:22 am »
Just wondering if anyone has a solution for me. I noticed this version of LNP had the Phoebus graphics pack as the default which I thought was odd. So I tried to change it.

I have a fresh install of the current LNP and I noticed there aren't any art assets in the LNP\Tilesets folder but there are assets in the Dwarf Fortress 0.47.05\data\art folder.
I thought this could be an easy fix, so I copied and pasted those assets in the LNP tilesets folder, however even when I refresh and hit "install tilesets" the game still renders on the Phoebus graphics pack. Interestingly enough, I can change the color pallet of the game just fine.
Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

DF General Discussion / Spotify Dwarf Fortress playlist
« on: April 30, 2016, 07:39:06 am »
Came back to the game after almost two years, so much to learn, I'm absolutely loving the updates.
To prepare myself for hours of Dorfing, iv'e improved on a playlist I made long ago and fashioned it to be considerably more dwarfy and I thought i'd share it with you guys!
A mix of melodic High Fantasy tracks to twangy folk music, this playlist covers what i'd consider to fit this game pretty well.

URI----spotify:user:1294751380:playlist:4F9JiZQZhp1KtD1uADZTzK

Web Link-----https://open.spotify.com/user/1294751380/playlist/4F9JiZQZhp1KtD1uADZTzK

Will be updating whenever I find suitable music.

Also a separate playlist for Sieges and battles here(constant epic music didn't fit too well):  spotify:user:1294751380:playlist:3QUg3HkfDlfFvOyAiK6Kja

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Modding animal training

There are quite a few species of animal that I would love to war-train. What would I change in the raws to do so?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Law-giver vampire
« on: June 26, 2014, 10:45:42 am »
A human vampire diplomat arrived at my fort a year ago, however he refuses to meet with my baron/mayor. He likes to hang out in my temples and other statue gardens and doesnt seem interested in diplomacy, is there a way to get him to leave without killing him?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Captured a Roc. What should I do with him?
« on: June 23, 2014, 12:07:29 am »
What it say's on the tin. The beast flew into my cage traps and much to my suprise, was actually detained. I have my beast master taming him but its a slow process. Anyone know how I can domesticate this thing before I have a godzilla sized bird of prey pecking my dorfs away?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Waterfall irrigation
« on: June 13, 2014, 04:18:26 am »
My latest fort is nestled next to the sea, using this unlimited water id'e like to make waterfalls for my dining room. What I'm curious about the water itself, will it overflow if I just have a big collection chamber at the bottom of the waterfall? Do I need to irrigate out of the map somehow?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Finding vampires
« on: June 01, 2014, 04:21:46 am »
So Ironhld, my current fort is doing pretty well...except one particular vamp who seems to enjoy draining my metalworkers dry(Low abundance of skilled smiths). Therefore I desperately need to find this pest before someone else dies. All my dwarves have rooms so dorm is out of the question, is there any tricks/cheats on finding vamps easily? I suppose it helps to know my world isnt too old, so noone in my fort is either, ruling out looking for someone cursed hundreds of years ago.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarves refusing to recover wounded
« on: May 30, 2014, 05:46:44 pm »
One of my swordsdwarves lost a hand in a struggle with a cave croc, now he's just lying in the food stockpile "Too injured" to do anything and noone will take him to the hospital, any advice?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Volcano question
« on: May 30, 2014, 09:17:56 am »
Started a new fort on a volcano for easy magma access and general fun to play around with. Do volcano's output infinite magma or can they be drained? I ask because I want to experiment with magma flow around the fort ( as a defense measure and looks).

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Animal capture
« on: January 11, 2014, 10:01:52 pm »
After a long break I have returned to DF and started a fresh fort, one that is surrounded by savage wolves. I could use some help with a method of capturing them so I can start a meat industry, any ideas?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Armor equipping conundrum
« on: May 20, 2013, 01:18:30 am »
Hello fellow Bay-watchers. I pose the question, how on Earth does the armor equipping system work? I have created full suits of Iron armor for my suicidal melee dwarves but they only equip the chain mail.The wiki is kinda vague and if there is a TLDR way to explain it,even better.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What is this nonsense
« on: May 19, 2013, 06:33:22 pm »
So my fortress is running all smoothly up until some yak hair starts beating on my war dogs. Im in a calm environment and yes,I did embark next to a tower but I see no necromancers. Perhaps the necromancer is sneaking around?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / This really grinds my mechanisms
« on: May 19, 2013, 05:03:39 pm »
Is there any way to deal with the "Dwarves has suspended the construction of the _____, item blocking site." I know the dwarves are somewhat smart enough to move the stone that is occupying the tile ONE TILE OVER but sometimes they dont do it at all. To me at least, this is the most annoying quirk in the game.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Well that escalated quickly
« on: May 17, 2013, 05:30:54 pm »
Only in dwarf fortress would a MASSIVE (100 or so) force of goblins and A even more MASSIVE force of HFS invade at the same time. This is how my latest fortress fell,after my dwarves were obliterated the goblins and HFS began fighting which was funny though. Can anyone give me some tips on how to prevent HFS from destroying everything I love and my cats?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Interesting Dilemma
« on: May 16, 2013, 07:01:01 am »
SO my current fortress Helmsbeard just had its first major attack. A Wereporcupine charged out of nowhere, slaughtered one of my reindeer and latched himself on the hunter that put 3 bolts in his chest. Immediately after my military arrived he transformed back into his human form and ran off. My hunter went to the infirmary for a bit and was back on his feet in no time, silly me, I forgot to check the combat logs at the time to see that he was bitten during the fight, and not long after he yurned into one of those prickly beasts and bit two of my soldiers. Both men are in the infirmary right now but I know they will transform sooner or later, any suggestions? ???
