Bay 12 Games Forum

Yeah, I felt really jittery through the whole thing, knowing the plan was going to fail somehow. And... it didn't. Yet. I felt that same little bit of relief, despite the last sentence.
Actual spoilers!
Edit: I think I broke the thread...

So many little twists that can ruin this plan, I can't guess which it actually is!
Oh wait, it's just her bad luck, right?

Also, neat picture wall. Did you notice the forgotten beast petting Vanya's hair?

That AI man... I don't even understand it. Very, very impressive. I haven't been stumped in at least a week. lol

As to the Vanya story, I thought she decided not to get the PEA cause she was worried about Trebor? Still, it seems like something she would do.
Koth is from Splint's stories right? I knew she survived! Good read.

As to the rest, your mom sounds a lot like my sister.  There's really nothing to do directly against that kind of thing. Outside help is a good call.

(ooh, while I'm talking about it, might ought to mention just for kicks that my mom and stepdad go out to eat every night.)

Really?!? That's just mean. (Also, everything you named, those are some of my favorite foods. I could eat noodles every night of the weak.)
I sadly don't know what else to say, as usual. I can't help you directly, but I'll continue to comment.

*That thing where you doubt yourself, cause I suck at quoting.*

I'm kinda curious, what other motives for writing are there? The only one I can think of is trying to entertain, which is the same thing really (Can't get famous with out entertaining). Circles in circles.

And Talvi, never doubt that you mean something here. You are literally the top of my list(of important people on Bay12), with Mr Frog and Splint tied for second. (Sorry for singling people out, won't happen again.)

And nice work on the Vanya story. Twisty Twist.

Two Minecart related questions:

Will it be possible to designate a hauling stop [for trading] or some such. Attaching it to a Depot for purposes of bringing goods out from the depths of your Fort?

Will Invaders/Hostiles/Mischievous/etc creatures interact with [Push/Ride] a Minecart  they can path to?
I realize path finding wouldn't necessarily be able to tell if the route was safe or where it went, but I can think of plenty of instances for both case where you would(n't) want un-friendlies riding your rails.

specific suggestions belong for the most part in the suggestion forum

So that's a "No", then? /amusement

Do we as adventurers have the option to rob people?

What speed will Fort mode dwarves default to?
I'm imagining a horde of dwarves zooming through the halls at full tilt.

Is it possible make the syndrome only effect those with the CAN_LEARN tag? And if so, would it make it impossible to bring zombies back to life since I believe they no longer have that tag... but the wiki doesn't confirm nor prove untrue that detail.

The interaction examples don't say they remove CAN_LEARN, but it would be possible to limit the reaction to such creatures. So yes to one, no to two. Though I honestly don't trust the resurrection effect at all, really. Mostly just cause the target is loyal to their former faction and it won't give you the ability to limit the interaction to members of your faction.

There aren't nearly enough mugs in that picture. I only counted three.

Which of the following two methods is a better way to get vampires to drink alcohol (and thus remove the slowdown from sobriety)?
-Option A
-Option B

I'd like to do it with a minimum loss of dwarven life, but to be honest I can probably find expendable dwarves cat-lovers for the second method if the first has issues.

Doesn't look like either one removes the alcohol withdrawl.

I'd just add [ALCOHOL_CREATURE] to dwarven blood. Doubt it'll work, but whatever.

Current fort decided to unseal the edges of one of the caverns. To that end, I sent in four legendary woodcutters. They're only about halfway through the 3000 trees... And one of my miners died in my first fatal cave-in. I put a water source above a magma pipe with DFHack, then told him to even the surface out - not realizing that he need to dig upward ramps to get rid of the floor tiles. He waltzed up, dug three or four walls, then hit a single tile. He cut out the tile, leaving the floor hanging midair and instantly died.
