DF 2012v0.34 question and answer thread
« on: February 17, 2012, 08:15:44 pm »

We're getting a lot of cross pollenation of 0.25 and 0.34 in the 2010 thread.

Lets see if we can split off the new from the old version questions.

Has anyone tried segregating a vampire into an area where blood barrels are available but booze and victims are not, and see if they will drink it?

A bedroom that's assigned to a married dwarf is also automatically assigned to that dwarf's spouse.

They can't both sleep in the same bed at the same time, though.  Nor have I ever seen them attempt it -- but then, I haven't really been watching for it.

Hmm.  Now I'm curious to see if they'd both sleep at the same time if you put 2 beds in the bedroom.

Are skinless, rotten zombies less powerful/durable than those who have little damage to the body proper?

I don't know, but if anyone does !science on this (or whether they'll drink from barrels of blood at all, even if they're not locked in with them) I'd love to know! It would be a way to have some vampires around without losing important dwarves, anyhow...

How do I read the .dat files in this recently created region 2, under init/saves/region2.  Or better yet, where is this exported .xml from Legends being stored?  Trying to troubleshoot, a world gen error that is causing me many rejects.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.  Not sure if older versions had these .dat files in the save folder.  Did they?  I deltree'd my old versions of the game.  Sincerely, Knutor

PS.  Good idea to start this thread.

Wasn't my idea, but I thought it was a good idea when I saw it, so I did it :P

What's with this No Trade, appearing in the Neighbors window, when choosing a location to embark, never noticed that before.  Ya must TAB to get it to appear, normally that panel shows Temperature and Biome stats, rocks, soil, etc.  Looks something like this:

Dwarf        No Trade
Human      No Trade
Elf            No Trade
Goblin       -----------

I'm thinking I'm too far from a road, but I dunno.  All my Dwarf Civs are clumped in one mtn range there in the central mountain range(left of the black/red areas). All land seems to be attached.  *shrug*  Here is a pic.

I guess my question is, why doesn't it ever say, "Trade".  Is a --------, okay to embark on, if I want to do some trading?  Thanks, Knutor

"No Trade" means you're trying to embark in an area in which those other civilizations cannot survive outdoors without getting frostbite. The "--------" just means that the Goblins are hostile.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

"       " Blank in there mean that Trade is possible for that neighbor, as usual?  I'd like to stick to trading for my first anvil, so this worries my expedition leader more or less.  Also, I'm seeing No Trade appear for all three races, while hovering my embark X over roads lines!  How do you explain that, Quietest?  I guess something other than Humans, Elves, and Dwarfs are running down these roads.  Kobolds maybe?  Strange.  I wouldn't object to trading with Kobolds or Goblins if they gave a good price. 

What do you make of No Trade, while over a road?

Okay, this is strange.  No Trade, with Elf, while on a wooded diagonal, right next to an Elf stronghold, ring on map.  Roads on either side of me going up and across, yet No Trade!?!  I hope when Toady fixes the embark filtration system, that he includes Good biomes, or changes Evil to Alignment, and adds a choice to filter by TRADE ROUTE.  This is cornfusing me, which is not hard, since I'm easily cornfused. 

I looked in legends, for this world and almost all, if not everyone of the deaths, were from starvation.  My megabeasts all died off prior to year 100, and never made one reappearance in the following 1148 years.  I gotta work on that, I'm thinking all the deaths from starvation have something to do with the lack of a food Trade.

Somewhere between Running Rivers and Forming Lakes and Mineral Veins, the DF2012 World Generator is a bug.  Its attempting to lay trade routes in here.  Shouldn't there be a separate line in World Gen resembling something like this..

Running Rivers..
Commerce and Trade...
Forming Lakes and Minerals...

I noticed on a successful gen that a road went straight to a non-mtn cave.  How is it that caves are counted seperated from Civs?  Are Kobolds caves in the headcount for Civs or in the headcount for Caves?  I cannot seem to avoid this crash, even by removing all Rivers pre-erosion, or snipping all the Caves.  It still crashes to desktop. 

On another note, we are still suffering from that crop map rejection, too.  Sincerely, Knutor

If a human merchant or diplomat turns out to be a vampire... Would (s)he try to feed on your dwarfs? Would your dwarfs kill it?
