Bay 12 Games Forum

Oh, somebody just d/l the save and go.  It’s not that big a deal, just expand the virtual memory of whichever partition holds the game.  The last save plays at 27 on my laptop which is eight years old so it will play on anyone’s machine.  There are only 20 dwarves and 90 animals, half as many undead as in my turn.  I took over ☼Hearts of Banner☼ when it was abandoned as unplayable, brought the FPS from 14 to over 50 by futzing with the stockpiles and such.  Same here. 

I would recommend forbidding that skull juice and nether wine in the stocks screen.  The surface water is frozen, seems nobody has installed a pump over the cistern, yet.
Btw, Grimmash: seriously good work on that grinder thing. 

Why not just do what I did, upload what you have at the end of your turn?  This fortress has progressed only 2 1/2 years in the past 2 RL months. 

Except, those plants WILL grow on soil in mountain biomes, both surface and subterranean (they have to or else there would be nothing growing in the caverns; are glaciers the same way?).  I've embarked Masterwork mountains before and ran irrigation ditches without problem, just not recently.  But then again, I hadn't tried recently until recently in a mountain embark requiring irrigation.  Perhaps there had been a tile of clay or soil in those previous mountains that I simply wasn't aware of.     

Since Meph hasn't logged on for a week, my suggestion is that someone just go for it and leave a note here that the save has been d/l'd and play resumed. 

Kobold bulb only surface farms – has this happened to anyone else?

Temperate mountain biome, all seeds offered at embark and Prospect identifies them growing in the region.  The surface farm only allowed kobold bulbs, green grass growing over dolomite.  Irrigating the area left a covering of mud but still, only kobold bulbs allowed and I’ve never seen that before.  There is an area of subterranean fireclay that – when channeled – can grow anything.  The dense, green grass over the surface dolomite is changing over the years to yellow, sandy-clay but still, only kobold bulbs allowed.  Irrigating the new sandy clay covers it in a layer of mud but makes no difference to planting.  I’ve had many embarks in mountain regions, first time I’ve seen this.

Any ideas?

Is there any cure for rabies in game?

Nope.  That's one reason most players turn diseases off.  Maybe Meph will upgrade the system in some future release; he's always said he had more plans for the Apothecary.

I am not able to get the Dwarf Therapist utility to "connect to DF". (Understand that Therapist is modded for Masterwork, hence posting here).
Any suggestions? Does therapist need to be in a particular directory.
Sorry if this is too simple a query.

Asked many times, answered many times, something like this will get you a snarky response once Bay12 forums have a search engine worth spit -- but in the meantime, just open the .exe file as admin.  (And yeah, happens to me, too, and I had to ask ...)

But, I thought the whole point of a community game was to put one’s fumbledefforts out there in real time for comments and suggestions, along with pretty screenshots.  Not?
