Bay 12 Games Forum

Well, cloth can be useful. It helped me banning from my mind visions of my fortress inhabited by naked dwarves.
Seriously, I'd even let them eat a soap maker for this.

That'd be definitely cool. Moreover, we wouldn't need to create each and every job in the fortress, leading to poor soap makers to die in misery. Let's give them a chance : if the baron likes soap, their fortune is made.

Well, I understood it as a way to give more details to sieges and to mod in specific types of sieges/attacks.

Because, currently, when goblins siege you, it's more or less "Hey, guys, it's been almost 8 months since we've last been butchered at Fortressdiamond. I guess we should go back."

Since I read a lot of what's on this forum, I'm likely to have read your posts. But honestly, I can't remember. Was it a long time ago?

I was in fact referring to this topic. I think it's more recent than any discussion about wages and rent, and it probably brought up ideas that were talked about in other threads.

Even though it's just about 2 lines of the original post.

You have a bunch of line about the size of the DF window both in windowed and fullscreen mode, and near those there are the grid size option for both modes.

In order to get a suitable result, you have to change the window resolution as well as the grid size.
For example, playing on a 1024*768 screen, I expanded the DF window so it would be almost fullscreen (to maximize the amount of tiles it'd show at the same time). Given a default (no graphic set) tile size is 8*12, the max tiles I could have was (1024/8)*(768/12) = 128*64 tiles, with the window set to 1024*768.

However, some tiles around the edges didn't display well, so I took 3 tiles away on both axes. I now play in windowed mode, 125*61 tiles, window size 1000*732. For a 1024*768 screen, it's quite enjoyable.

You know, I was just reading another topic that was partly about how the economy didn't enabled free market. The thing is, dwarves currently don't have enough needs to enter consumering society. They just basically need to drink and eat.
At times, they'll go and buy something they like - but they won't even care about wearing clothes if it prevents them from buying that nice =iron gobelet=.

This suggestion would be really cool, mostly thanks to all that's needed for it to work. You could just dig out something about 3 tiny (let's say 2*1) rooms, then perhaps from a bed or a door or anything you'd designate the apartment. The dwarves who rent it then would have to buy everything, including furniture (makes me think they could also buy and stock food and drinks).
This meaning there should be furniture store. Or some Wood/Stoneworker workshops where dwarves would command their furniture to the mason/carpenter on their own.
The latter could even own the workshop, and make a living out of it. Which means there would be "official" workshops, the ones we currently have, and buyable workshops that dwarves could own.

All meaning it'd be cool because we could requisition it in the name of the fortress, with or without any counterpart.
The more we give to dwarves, the more we can take back.
Mwahahahaha.
Evil laughter.

Tiles do not have 'sides'.  The entire tile is the wall and the entire tile is engraved.

That was the main reason of my doubts. A counter-argument would've been some coding specific to (smoothed) walls so as to make them link with each other properly. A counter-counter-argument was that a contextual code at the moment of drawing the tile would be much simpler.

Yeah, doubts.

Thank you anyway.

Vomitous blood will soon be a must have for any adventurer going in the mountains.
Indeed, you turned a new page of DF History.
