Begone page 10

My stupid dwarves won't write a book. It's been 5 years with 2 scholars and my library is still filled with only a few gold bound copies of a 1 page manual some visitor left. They're both chemists now after studying it for years. It's a manual on fire.

So I suppose that the only mods that attempted at Pokemon are dead?

I've tried once, but alas my creation was fragile and weak.

Well light injuries on the verge of recovering are grey so I was thinking they would recover but then maybe there is grey and there is gray. Lots of shades of grey.

By default, no, minor injuries are kinda shit coloured

My dwarf civ brings me a constant supply on preddy gud to masterful books yearly covering a massive amount of subjects

On the flipside, the humans have been bringing me the same fucking book in diferent copies and codexes yearly. Why the fuck they'd think I'm interested in 20 of the same book goes beyond me.

I guess dorfs are just superior race

What is the number that appear in parenthesis when you hove over a dwarf's profession or current job in dwarf therapist?

you can trade for books? what category are they under?

When asking for shit to the liason? No idea

But my civ tends to bring some by default. They're usually at the bottom of the trade list when trading, together with shit like parchment and instrument pieces.

They bring quite a bunch of books now. Am I correct in assuming that traders bring more of a type of good if you buy it a lot?

>hove

idk, I'm kinda a newbie. I thought it was random besides what you asked them to bring. I'll keep an eye out for books

from the rapist manual.

We need to make /dfg/ great again?

Make the waifufags pay for the wall!

If I had to guess, I suppose it's the numerical representation of that job. I noticed that all Construct Building jobs appear as (68) for me, so I assume that 68 means Construct Building in an array or whatever is utilized in the code

Do doors completely block miasma from passing?

They do, unless someone passes through it.

When an unit passes through a door, it will enter an "open" state. It will visually appear so and it will let through miasma (and also water, if I'm not mistaken).

Note that doors will remain open for a (very) short while after an unit has passed through it.

So basically it's just like your average real-world door: if you fart and open the door, the fart will go through it and everyone who was behind the door will get a bad thought.

Does gif-user have any plump helmet man gifs?

How much in-game time can pass before I need to get new clothes for my dwarves?

dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Wear

I saw this article already, but how much time is it?

Do dwarves get upset at the first level of wear?

>but how much time is it?
I'm guessing the "points" the article is referring to are game ticks.
Note below how it says that items on fire experience increased wear at 10 points per tick. So at most it's 9 points per tick, and most likely just 1:1.

>tfw people think dwarf fortress is extremely hard and tell me they don't have enough time to learn it despite my offering to teach them.

When will the "dwarf fort takes forever to learn" meme end

He looks like Patrick Rothfuss.
Things are starting to make a lot more sense now.
I'm scared.

How do you guys set up your workshops? Just leave them in a 3x3 room? Or 5x5 and set up stockpiles near it to make the crafter's work easier? Or just set multiple workshops on a huge room?

ok guys Ive seen this memegame mentioned across the internet for what feels like forever.

one of the things that has stopped me from picking it up for a cheeky go is the obnoxious ascii-type graphics which honestly offend my eyes.

Are there any graphical mods that take away this part of the game or am I condemned to attempt to like this game despite it's artwork

yo for real? damn son where you find this

OP updated.
Any clue yet as to whether the Dwarf Therapist still works?

7 posts until this was asked. That has to be a record

There are many tilesets and some 3d visualizers. That's as good as it'll ever get.

This game is amazing isn't it

Uh this is a photo from on set filming The Hobbit, from before when the CG replaced the actual raft used with the fantasy boat? An outtake in other terms.

"There isn't much on the Dark Web"

Is eating and brewing underground plants the only way to get seeds back? Can I spin pig tails into threads and get their seeds?

I went to rename my old folder so I could drop the stuff I want to transfer over and the other pane of dolphin hadn't been refreshed so I deleted the old-named version from there. Not trashcan, delete.

I could cry.

Is it frowned upon to kill elves and steal their shit?

Would dwarves do that canonically?

Either way I don't think I will ever stop doing it, at least for the first 1-2 years.

ksg: is free...
Katawa Shoujo, "Disability Girl" a text-based menu response game about a boy meeting (especially one of) five girls at his new institution he was sent to. With pictures.
I did not know about this.

You get what you paid for, demonstrated on that one I guess and the public pretty well eats it up.

You should not type text, you should write cursive and scan it.

DO IT user.

Mill some, take the big chance

You got an operating system and user discipline issue there, no fault of what application you are using.

How long were you using that world (assuming the folder you are talking about was the whole world)?

It seems that spinning into thread does give seeds back. I was wondering why my pig tails farm wasn't being used. For some reason the pig tail name is redded out, I have enough seeds, though, so it's weird.

Merchants track the profitability of excursions to your site, I think, so they will notice they have been losing money on your place.

The time when you can do it and benefit the more is later. The time when you benefit less doing that is sooner, in my opinion and I speak from close to the summit on that graph.

Out-of-season?
Plump helmets, to get you started are Winter Spring Summer Fall but some of the other crops have seasonal restrictions as to when the thing grows. Or will not grow.

You can mange your fields for maximization by switching more to Plump Helmets during winter, or you can figure 'screw it' and devote a given field to it's feature-plant you chose or else nothing.

Some games are conceived with the graphics first in mind. The tendency is "out-of-sight = out-of-awareness."

A few games are designed on underlying concepts first, and the graphics are a whatever-afterthought. DF looks like that.

Nah, I'm in autumn, I should be able to be planting pig tails, I googled it and the red name means it can't be planted right now for some reason. Whatever

Anyway, when making clothing, can I just make an entire set of clothing rather than having to select one by one or something like that? Specially since if I want to renew my dwarves clothes, I'd need to make various of each

Also, the dwarves leave their old clothes around in their rooms, can I just tell them to burn it or something, to not let the fort become a huge dumpster?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA@AAAAAAAAHHHJHHHHHHHHHGM,VJFJF,GKXGKEGBKVDDVKDVSVKDVSFKDVDGKDGJ

are crundles worth keeping? They breed incredibly fast. I'm thinking of replacing my bunnies, wolverines, etc with them.

I was sleepy and excited because of the new version coming out. It's more that I have to find all my world-gens, interface shit, make a new version of my announcements, init/d_init/etc, get my art files set up, see if I can find an up-to-date version of my raws, etc, etc, etc.

Settled for getting a working version going for now.

...

Sure
They have good values if I recall and lay eggs so breeding them in the long run is good.
Though I like training EVERYTHING I can so I have legendary trainers but also lots of civ knowledge about training them
My current fort has tamed naked mole rats so I am excited for what the future holds

Oh ok. I have a few naked mole dogs as well. About 5 i think. I'll replace my dogs with them. More interesting.

I have 4 giant cave spiders but im scared of letting them loose lol.

teach me how to play Aurora sempai

tileset?

this has gotta be some of the coolest shit
I mandate more pics of my own construction and yours, for the good of the thread-tress

Can someone explain me this work orders feature?

Goddammit Toady, he made it so you can't travel while flying and can't compose shit while hanging off of walls so that isn't a viable way to get out of caverns anymore.

>
The planting season ends on some date since the pigtails will not have enough time to grow before Winter. though.
You could keep a log of which day that hits from year to year (like ancient Sumerian priests did, they were obsessive about record keeping and look what they found out) and then consider that log when it has 14 years of entries.

Clothes, oh just make a lot.

Stray clothes, the wiki says if you put a cabinet (I would use rock) in the dwarf's bedroom they will put their clothes in there, they put away their clothes about as promptly as the time frame in which a gestating infant sheds his placenta.

Did you use it before?
The advantage of the old work order system was (I thought) that an order would persist if it were thwarted. I often used it to turn out 30 boozes if barrels had run low, for example when a barrel gets empty the work order keeps trying to start a still brewing until that WO quantity were satisfied.

I do not know but reading posts ITT there are more work order features, repetition under time directives, singleshop specification and more.

The dwarf a manager 'validates' the work orders, and gains Organizer skill which you can place as Captain of the Guard to increase or improve sparring bouts.

Oh, it's about the managers, I think I got it, that seems to be a good idea, actually

is it just my bad design, or is making a tavern in your first year a really bad idea for your booze stock?
I never had such a big influx of visitors since I mainly played on young worlds, but those performers drain my storage

now with festivals, are there going to be sports festivals too? like, the dwarfen cup of kick the gob head?

so, how fast can you build? is it possible to do mid battle while chased by bogeys?

Not him but definitely not.
Just chopping down one tree takes a while.
and building sites takes a fair bit of time too

I want to build a well, but I'm scared that I will end up flooding my fortress

either way its p liberating to see myself pick up those damn waterlogged willows up from the river

IM LATE FOR PARTY BUT FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES ANYWAY.

> comes back from a game

Wait what?
What the fuck, i don't remember seeing this screen anywhere. Is this a hoax?
... Is it out?

ALERT
THE
INTERNET

Hmmm, we can cut trees now, and you can also grab branches which can be used for shit like axes, neat!

It takes a while per log but you can in fact slap constructions onto the side of a sheer wall. I don't think it checks if you can fly but I can incidentally.

This took 46 hours to do a basic face of armok layout, can't do the eyes/mouth yet without advfort but hey, pretty fucking cool nonetheless!

aaand crash, while trying to make a mainhall zone layout of the new crib. Time to take extra things with me on the second trip

Builders beware! something went fuzzy with my designation, maybe forgot a certain step with the zone layout, save often!

how would that even happen?

How long until someone sets up a slave labor camp where they just have companions work while they oversee everything?

well, that's interesting.

Huh, what did you do?

I made a zone just now, assigned a location to it as a main hall, then claimed the site and can retire there now.

as a animal training nerd heres a few pointers
Dogs>Naked moles
Training level of + or higher is good enough to keep in an area
keep several rooms for animal training and seperate by species then training. You want to start breeding animals once they are ≡ or Masterwork, once that level the babies will retain that level and when trained will become tame (meaning you never have to train them again)
One day ill find out how domestication works. One day

Iunno all I know is that I'm going to try it again tomorrow, want to settle a few more things with the old fort like making proper backpacks for the (performer) companion

fug.

You mean, play fort mode?

Except with your specific character controlling their lives directly.

Speaking of fort mode, you CAN embark on top of an adventurer camp, but you should NOT do so because you can't build with the adventurer interface there any longer once there is an active site in place.

Glad I used a copy of the save to test this.
