as noone answered me several pages back i am asking again :

how to use "embark" in dfhack?

[Koggenmaster]

The "make bread/candy" reactions are bugged, because you need to have the bags in a barrel in the reaction. But so far i know
screws the barrel+bag the "GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT" up. Removing the barrel from the reaction fixed the problem.

BTW: What advantages does bread have?

OK, so I fielded my first Rockmage the other day.  In his first fight he went from happy (he may have actually been ecstatic) to miserable, because one of his basilisks died, he was attacked, he then went off duty and he was "choked by dust underground" (that would be the dust he himself created).  So that is going to take some work to get going.  Can you make the earth mages immune to the dust thought at least?  He was also spraying clouds of "announcement", which was amusing but probably a bug.

At this point the white mages, air mages, and demonbound seem nice (I haven't actually tried a demonbound yet).  Everything else seems to be more problematic... (my lich just meant I had to kill everything twice).

It's something Meph stole adopted from the old Genesis mod.  It's probably something you should simply not attempt to do.

[Meph]

Bread is supposed to be higher value.

Also, here a collaboration with Mike Mayday (he did all the work I just did some shading.)

oOOOOOH, SHINY!

New races, eh? I'm still on my 5.09 fort, waiting for a proper siege, frostgiants and stuff like that to show up. Might take a while, it took about 5 years to get my first goblin ambush (110 dwarves with ridiculous wealth).

[kizucha]

Uh~ i like Banshees, werewolves and hivemind the most. Is this shiny masterwork for he manual or maybe we get it on the menu?

[Meph]

Its for the new manual (and wiki, if someone wants to upload it).

Between iron and steel? Holy fuck! What are eating this turtles? xD

Carp.

As in, Embark Anywhere?  I'm pretty sure you press Alt-E at the big map screen, once you've selected the site you want.

Apparently I have huge areas of "living rock" on my embark. I did already mine some of it, but I want to avoid "fun" as I already have 800+ meat for my fortress of 40 dwarves. The manual tells me, that I should be able to butcher living rock at the kitchen. I remember I did that in an older version, now I'm using 5.10 on Linux. The kitchen doesn't list the reaction though. Looked at the linked raw in the manual and didn't find it there either.

Another thing is, I crafted some bone spikes, in an attempt to create a massive trap for my invaders. Now the spikes say something like "serrated bone spike". I have harder traps enabled, and aren't serrated spikes supposed to be an update from the engineers shop?

It is done in the slaughterhouse.

Thank you very much!

Meph, it is really time to update those manuals. (Kein Stress, aber.)

I've got an odd problem with a dwarf.  My second earth mage is REALLY slow. Like 1/3 the speed of any other dwarf.  He isn't wearing any scaleplate (scaleplate clothes slow dwarves badly).  He isn't missing any arms or legs.  He is healthy and has no unexpected effects on him, not hungry or thirsty.  He has gone through 3 transforms (dwarf->arcane->earth1->earth2) and it doesn't change his speed at all (I didn't notice it before he became arcane, but have no reason to suspect it wasn't there since I was annoyed at how long it took him to change).

Is there anything I can even look at to try and figure out his issue?  Glancing through the dfhack scripts didn't reveal anything useful; cprobe and the syndrome check didn't show anything...

Check his ambushing skill. If he has any it's because he was attacked at some point and started sneaking, and hasn't stopped. Don't know a fix.
