In year 258 the liason visited me. We drafted an export agreement and the fortress was upgraded to a barony.

The traders never setup show though. One merchant kept walking around (topside, within the walls of my fortress) and they eventually left.

It's now year 261 and autumn just ended. No liasons and no caravans in three years.

I think i read somewhere that it might be caused by a siege on the kings home. But how do i identify this is the case and that it's not my fortress that is bugged?

Is there anything we can do to give you more information?

I too face these crashes. It seems to happen more frequently when i build a lot fast. If it's related to doing commands fast or simply that i am building a lot; i don't know.

Are there logs i can find and give you? Some sort of verbose debug mode or similiar?

My eyes cry when playing with TWBT

Active/Training already says "Training"

I can force them into the military status by puttin them on "alert" and activating "Active/Training". But im worried they won't eat, sleep or similiar in that status.

I know this is a necro, but seeing as this topic never got a solution posted AND it shows up at the top of a "dwarf fortress furniture stockpile not working" search i figured i would add a solution for anyone else comming here.

The issue (for me) was caused by me accidnetly giving dwarfs orders not to haul furniture.

Fix was -> (O)rders -> Dwarves Gather f(U)rniture

Have a nice day

Hey all,
Im trying to paint some marble in my fortress, but tiletypes doesn't seem to understand "paint stone MARBLE"
This should be a feature in tiletypes according to the GIT help page:

More recently, the tool supports changing the base material of the tile to an arbitrary stone from the raws, by creating new veins as required. Note that this mode paints under ice and constructions, instead of overwriting them. To enable, use:

paint stone MICROCLINE

The last change to tiletypes.cpp was 4 months ago, and the one before that over a year. So it cant be that it's not in DFHack binary yet?

Im using 0.34-11-r3 (bundled with PeridexisErrant LN)

is it possible to increase the quantity of items requested pr work order?

Say, increase it from 30 to 90.

Hey all,
I am pretty well defended in a topside keep. Thick walls and numerous bridges keep me safe in case of attacks.

I have created a "killing room" with a checkerboard of steel spikes just waiting to be punched up and down into enemies above. But im having problems getting my enemies in there.

Once i get attacked i quickly close all bridges between the killing room and my dwarfs. The attackers instantly stop moving and start killing other stuff instead (random animals or stray dwarfs out on a hunt)

While i commend the AI not blindly running as far into the keep as they can, i do wonder how i can actually get them to run towards my keep and the traps i have in store.

I have tried keeping the bridges down just long enough to get them to the kill room, but dwarfs are terribly unrealible once they are in (timing is of the essence before them get further into the keep).

What can i do to satisfy the AI pathing and prevent attacks?

Im trying to build a full time military. My dwarves keep reverting to their other professions when out of combat though

Despite them being higher level in Axe or Shortsword than mining

Do they preserve their military status once they reach a higher level with a type of weapon?

They also seem to drop armor wherever they stand when dismissed.

How can i keep my military suited up and looking "militaryish"?
