Bay 12 Games Forum

So eh, after being absent from the forums for quite some time I've finally come back to ask a question.

How do I stop fisher gremlins from spamming job cancelation announcements? They keep yelling that they can't store items (namely the fish they fish), and I believe them, but they will not shut up about it. It's just constant red text. What do?

Updated the OP. I do love what you two have done with the place. Maybe I'll take another shot at overseeing some time, if no one else joins. I've been practicing quite a bit.

That poor securitron... Hopefully the Wanamingos will be sated by it's destruction...
     21st Limestone,
Migrants! 9 of them! Finally!
They are:
   A master worker of wood, and "crossbows" as he calls them.
   Miner/farmer/fisher/animal caretaker, set to fish
   Glassmaker/hunter set to make glass and take care of animals
   Glassmakerset to also cut gems
   Farmer
   Beekeeper, now mason
   Child
   Miner
   Shearer, set to craft
     22nd Limestone,
They brought what they call a Claptrap with them, funny little thing. It's currently shaking around a vulture, maiming it. It also came to my attention that other than the child, I'm the only male in this entire vault. Huh.
     23rd Limestone
Oh Gods... The wanamingos are aproaching...
I order everyone inside, grab my fellow soldiers and rush out to fight them. I doubt we'll win, but as long as we can drive them off, the others should be safe. Gods be with us...

OOC: Sorry for taking so long with this, I'm currently chugging along at around 10-18 FPS for some reason. I have no idea why. I tried a test game real quick and my FPS was way higher with much more citizens. 
We're digging deeper. We need to find some sort of ore. We need metal. We need people. We need a lot of things.
     6th Galena
We found two giant caverns while digging today. The first was not very exciting. It had such pretty fungus and moss, though.
But that's nothing compared to the second cavern we found.
We found IT.
I still can't believe it, even as I write this.
Yes, you see that right. Raw inobtanium.
But, we have outselves a catch 22. If we go after it, we're sure to meet some very nasty things down there. However, if we get it, we can use it against those nasties. It would appear as if we need some proper armaments to defend ourselves, then we will go grab as much of it as we can. Scans also showed saltpeter in the walls, which I'm told is used to make gunpowder, which is used to make bullets.
Excellent.
     9th Galena,
The securitron has taken to shooting at the vultures flying around. Shot one right out of the sky, breaking all kinds of bones. I guess it does know how to hurt things after all.
     11th Galena,
Well, we all knew he was dead, but finding Tom's dehydrated, emaciated corpse in his room still wasn't very pleasant. Also, CognitiveDissonance was complaining about not being able to store something. Why he couldn't store it, you ask?
It was lodged in our carpenter's workshop.
I ordered the building removed so he can grab it. I'll have it rebuilt after someone moves the scrap.
     18th Galena,
I order our part-time... "Militia" to join me in killing some vultures. They're bugging me.
     23rd Galena,
I've ordered the various bones and useless rocks we've collected to be turned into little crafts. I'm sure someone will want to trade for them.
     1st Limestone,
I designate some areas for our "farmers" to "farm". Itentlolor assures me we can get plenty of food this way. We could use some more food, I'm tired of radfish.
     13th Limestone,
A dust storm rolls nearby
And then rolls right over our vault entrance.
A citizen and an iguana are caught in the dust. They seem to be fine.
     20th Limestone,
Our securitron was spotted fighting a pack of... What the fuck are those?
Wanamingos...? This doesn't look good...

You shall both be citizen'd and I'll add you to the list tomorrow, I'm spending the day with the fianceé and currently on my phone. I'll also play for a couple hours, I been craving me some Dwarf Fortress Citizen Vault action.

OOC: I'm running a fever as I type this, please forgive any typos or lack of detail, or if it just sucks. I'll reread it once I get better. Also, sorry for the dearth of screenshots, it's a hassle and I'm sick. Plus, nothing terribly exciting happened past the dogs.
Whilst digging deeper into the earth to find a suitable place to bury our dead, the miners discovered something interesting.
A large cavern system it seems, with moss growing everywhere. My resident biologist, Itnetlolor, informs me that Brahmin and other animals could eat this. Interesting. But he also tells me these caverns are known to contain some very nasty things. I decide not to break directly into them just yet.
     5th Felsite
Morale remains alarmingly low, so low in fact that Tom threw a tantrum.
In other news, we found a... Snake, was it? It was dangerously close to the group. Itnetlolor tells me this thing is potentially very harmful. I order it killed.
It goes down without even scratching anyone. Harmful my ass.
     6th Felsite
Oh, great.
More friendly wildlife.
This time it's a pack of wild dogs. I actually know what dogs are, thank you very much. I know they can be rather nasty, too. I get everyone ready, and they grab their preferred killing utensils.
But me?
I get a little more hands on.
Haha, get it? Hands... Wrestling... Anyway. we easily dispatch the dogs. I don't know if it's from out experience with the Floaters or if it's because everyone is unhappy and beating down feral animals is a good release, but we sure do make quick work of the wildlife around here.
Maybe there is hope.
     12th Felsite
Tom has completely lost it. He's running around babbling about... Nothing, really.
     16th Felsite
The beds are finally being made, and even with one miner digging is coming along nicely. Maybe bedrooms will cheer us up.
I can only hope.
     20th Felsite
Digging, making doors, tables, chairs, the wall... Not a whole lot going on. We could use some help. There's just so much to do and only 4 able bodies to do them. Well, 5 able bodies, but one is currently being controlled by a lunatic.
     1st Hematite
He's dead. The miner whose foot got cut off finally stopped suffering. I will bury him, along with TomatoWalrus.
Damn.
     5th Hematite
Dust storm rolled awfully close by. Nothing really happening.
     15th Hematite
Gah. This is horrible. WE NEED SOME HELP GODSDAMNIT! We have so much SHIT to do around here. I'm so tired. WHEN WILL SOMEONE MAKE THOSE FUCKING BEDS?
FUCK
     20th Hematite
In a blind rage and pounded on the securitron will all my might. It had no idea what to do. Tom tried to pull me off. I kicked him.
I feel terrible... I'm a leader, damnit! I'm going to fix this dump up, starting NOW.
     12th Malachite
Sorry for not writing in the logs, I've been very busy getting this place together. Demonbutter threw a tantrum, but he quickly recovered. Bedrooms should finally be done soon enough.
We really need some help around here.
     21st Malachite
Another dust storm, everyone has a bedroom now, even crazy ol' Tom. Morale has improved significantly! We're all happy as a clam now, can't wait for our dining room to be done. What's that? My office is done?
Awesome!
     24th Malachite
Tom has been missing for a week. Poor fella, where is he?
     27th Malachite
Some vultures were spotted overhead. Itnetlolor informs me they are large birds that feast on corpses. Gross.
     3rd Galena
Two fellows arrived at our... Well, we don't really have a door. They just arrived. A farmer, a high master cheesemaker and a little baby iguana. Thank the Gods! We can finally get some stuff done now! I tell Itnetlolor to go do that fishing business he does, him and the farmer will get us some more food, as we appear to be needing more.
     4th Galena
Another dust storm drifts by. I designate an area for me to start sifting through all this scrap we have accumulated. We're sure to find something useful.
     

Oh, you put up an update? Inform us about that! TomatoWalrus most likely lost his nickname because he killed something.

And bighorners are large, they have thick hide, sharp horns and tough hooves. I wouldn't send a person against them, at least without guns or good armor and weapons.

Hospital is needed, indeed. There's a lot of stuff which can hurt you.

He didn't actually kill anything. At first I just stationed him near the bighorners so they'd scurry off. After I sent the kill order he finally got one and it decimated him.

This already looks entertaining. I don't mind being a vault citizen. I don't care what job I end up with.

You are now our resident herbalist/biologist guy.

That escalated quickly.

I guess I wouldn't mind being recitizen'd.
This time as Tom.

I also find it pretty funny that I died to a Bighorn. They seem to be more of a threat here than in Fallout.

They certainly are terrifying. Even more so than the floaters. You are now a mason.

Next update soon. Sorry for taking so long, sister is moving out and it's been hard to get around to playing.

I'd love a citizen, not too picky bout what he/she is.

You will be our resident mason, I believe
 

Yessir! Some sort of soldier preferably, as Glloyd.

Heh heh... Heh... Funny story about that... Our only real soldier died, and now everyone is in the military with some sort of combat experience
I'll name the first real soldier we get after you, as right now they're just desperately fighting with whatever they can find.

The next update will be up tomorrow, things got very FUN, very quick.
