My broker is an odd one, or at least, the craftsdwarf thinks she is.
Ryder Cruz
Question, for adventurer house building, it says its irreversible. Does that mean the house cannot be added to once begun, or can I just work on one room at a time?

Pretty sure that just means that creating/naming the site is irreversible.

Some migrants have arrived.

wow, neat. Wonder if this is a weird coincidence or something
Brandon Campbell
My favorite thing about this general is the optimism about the game itself. I could just lurk the threads all day so I could read everyone's stories
Camden Ward
bump
Gabriel Gonzalez
I love goblin faction names. My two favorite so far were The Seduction of Holes and The Hatred of Women.
Samuel Ortiz
Those groups are only in world gen or can show up in Fortress?
David Morgan
what waste of time to play such a shitty game.
I cant believe that some people actually think this is so deep.
Luis Green
I think they are just world gen.
Gavin Taylor
It's not deep at all unless you're gonna build a dungeon and if you are go do it in shit that's made for it.
Dominic Lee
What hurt your feelings, fren?
Kevin Hughes
someone hit me up, how do i get rid of the fucking childrens? im total noob, so the easiest way would be nice tho
Ryder Richardson
in one of the inits files, either inits or d_inits I forget, you can set max children and max children percentage to 0
Hudson Mitchell
Put them on the drawbridge via burrows and FLIP DAT SUWEETCH EEEGOR!
Samuel Gomez
if i set this up, the childrens will disappear in my current game?
Julian Taylor
Nopers, just controls migration and procreation in the future

Thomas Hernandez
I'm on the military screen, in the scheduling submenu, and there's an option like this "u : inactive = uniformed" Since most of the options here are usually greyed out if they aren't chosen, or white if they are, doe this mean that during their off time they'll still wear their uniforms, or that I need to press "u" to make them wear uniforms during their down time?
Charles Rogers
Is alchemy ever going to do something? Will animal carers and fish dissectors ever be welcomed with joy and relief in a fort? Will I ever be able to actually quit being a little bitch and explore a tomb?
Next update pls deliver.
William Thomas
~
It's displaying their current setting, so yeah, leave it alone and they will remain in uniform.
Sebastian Hughes
>~ What did you mean by that?
>Is alchemy ever going to do something? I in a year maybe.
Ryder Jenkins
If I break an aqueduct, and make a channel that reaches the edge of the map, will the water leave the map through there, or will I just overflow the map?
Julian Murphy
Chilluns are great. Like 60% make it to peasant-hood without a mood. Then you only have to make a couple armors or weapons then melt them for free useful artifacts.
Animal care would be great if toady ever enabled their health care and need to eat shit. dissectors just needs more extracts which we'll get more of when he finally does venom application.
Long as you're friendly to undead I think you're fine. Do it late in your adventurer's life and search walk to no get noscoped.
Can't Channel the map edge and you can't smooth soil. If it's rock or you casted obsidian above the surface you're good to go. The aquifer article has a shit ton on the matter.
Joshua Parker
>Can't Channel the map edge and you can't smooth soil. If it's rock or you casted obsidian above the surface you're good to go. The aquifer article has a shit ton on the matter. I won't channel the map edge, it already has a part that's in a depression.
Jacob Ward
It'll flow off it's z-level then yeah. Make sure you setup a raising bridge so you can dam it when it's not needed.
Jack Ortiz
How much lag will this massive waterfall cause?
Colton Foster
>Chilluns are great. Like 60% make it to peasant-hood without a mood. Then you only have to make a couple armors or weapons then melt them for free useful artifacts. what
Bentley Long
> Like 60% make it to peasant-hood without a mood.
That's the problem. I already have veteran military armed to the teeth. I need more legendary artisans. Not more FPS waste. I'm down to 50 FPS now. Fortress pop: 117.
That looks pretty cool. I never got waterfall in an evil area.
Carter Fisher
I got a massive surface aquifer up on something like a hill. Once I puncture it all hell will brake loose.
Landon Turner
It will break your dick
If they mature without having had a mood, they have no competing moodable skills like migrants do so you only have to put a little metal into them and eventually they kick out an artifact weapon or armor.
For what? You can just train them up over 2 years with one of your master soldiers, shoot up wildlife, assign them light armor, then have them learn whatever. They work harder, faster, and better after the delay and your entire fort being capable. If that's too long, you can double up assignments and alternate half on sparring, half on crafting for whatever time period you like.
Adrian Perez
>I'm down to 50 fps I'm down to 7. 200 civilians, 100 others and 40 pets/livestock. Tell me your specs and which version are you playing.
Elijah Diaz
i7 2600 AMD Radeon HD 6800 (Don't know how big a part this plays in this game) 4GB DDR3
Version:0.42.06
Asher Phillips
Certainly better than what I'm rocking. I'm gonna burrow the shit out of my next fort. I think pathfinding is killing it the most.
Nathaniel Garcia
Did you try turning off features to improve FPS? I'm playing on pocket world, disabled temperature calculations and weather.
I tried the burrowing a couple of times. Got tired of burrowing every single thing. I think I'll just limit my population to 80 next time. The number of useful dorfs never goes past 60 for me anyway. I can do with less fodder and more animal control.
Lincoln Clark
Ran into a "buff monster," a scaly slug covered in noxious secretions that I think is a demon. Never seen one of those before, except as rulers in 30.xx. I don't want to stay and find out what its poison does.
Brayden Long
I should also limit myself to one industry.
pic:my fucking storage floor.
Xavier Martinez
I didn't turn off the temp thing, doesn't that mess with stuff like catching fire, or just with whether should your river freeze during winter and so on?
Parker Long
that's pretty fucking uneficient senpai
So, I never get to understand the limits this game offer to mods, what can you exactly mod in the game? what do you can't?
Levi Perez
You should make the storage rooms 9 tiles tall and 13 tiles wide to made them AESTHETIC
Leo Watson
>that's pretty fucking uneficient(,) senpai How do I make it more efficient? One huge storage with shitload of bins?
Oliver James
Wouldn't installing a square texture pack be easier?
Logan Lopez
Sure, but that would be too easy.
Bentley Morris
>Sure, but that would be too easy. I feel you.
Jaxon Carter
Not him, but there doesn't seem to be a clear flow between your stockpiles and workshops. It's not that serious really.
Joshua Foster
Oooh that. Yeah it takes a bit longer to make stuff.
There was better efficiency while I still had enough space for it. Then I got too much stuff.
Austin Hernandez
It does, but if I get to still play somewhat smoothly after 5 years, I'm ready to make that sacrifice.
Christopher Collins
Anyone ever see a general hell rift that is opened without PC intervention? I found a cluster of at least five demons of various sorts, who apparently killed each other until only one remained (according to legends mode, I didn't stick around).
Kayden Rogers
There's hell!? Lemme wiki that real quick. ... AAAAW SWEET!
Aiden Hughes
Why wiki? You're already here
Ryan Taylor
Yep. Its been there forever, but I've literally never actually seen just... demons rampaging about the countryside unless dwarves freed them.
Jackson Williams
The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame.
Chase Stewart
I've been observing the goblins lately, and I see war parties circling around but mostly staying at home. After closer inspection, I found and killed a second ice demon, and now I'm finding a group of goblins being utterly destroyed by a couple of nasty poisonous, winged snail looking demons.
Ian Roberts
Deep.
John Thompson
How do I use the marksdwarves? Do I order them to kill or to station? I thought it was kill, but just now one of my shooters charged a cyclops with a crossbow. now, it's been a minute or two, but he has around 40 bolts in his quiver, though I still think he had ammo left when he was fighting.
Hudson Murphy
either works, but I like to station them around a corner from the enemy's path, so that they come into line of sight 10-15 tiles away and unleash a barrage of bolts all at once, rather than spreading out, firing from distance, running out of bolts, and then charging into melee like retards if they're in the field and not behind fortifications, ideally, keep regular militia dwarves between marksdwarves and the enemy at all times. they WILL charge in at some point if it's at all possible, and you don't want them to be the prime target
Jack Sanchez
It's from Lord of the Rings, you dummy.
Benjamin Adams
I know, you dummy. I just made a shitty pun, you dummy.
Lincoln Carter

Asher Sanders
Fuck, don't cry...
Liam Brown
Why can't I get more mercenaries? I turn away at least 4 entertainers every month.
Bentley Martin
Because you don't seem to want visitors?
William Ortiz
Are you microsoft trying to retain xbox fans? Because you're playing your role perfectly.

Brayden Young
getting ready to play again after a couple years away. What does the OP mean by dwarf therapist being out of date? Can I still use it? Also, best texture pack so I can see dwarves instead of symbols.
Blake Johnson
The newest version of DF doesn't keep all the info in the old places in the RAM, so they gotta figure out where the variables are first, and then they can release a new version of the rapist
Landon Lopez
out of hundreds, I've never had a visitor that wasn't a dwarf/human/elf/goblin I keep hoping. my current world's most populous human town has 23 hamster people and a nearby forest retreat has 46 peach-faced lovebird people, but I guess they aren't interested in travelling
Thomas Scott
so should I wait a short time to get back in, I'm not really trying to relearn the game without it. Or is this one of those things that could take forever for someone to do.
Samuel Cooper
just play with a lower population cap or something so it's easier to handle. the current version is p. cool
Isaiah Parker
I have 200 dorfs right now, playing without the rapist is fun, but in the dorfy kind of way.
Xavier White
Just jump in, you appreciate the tools more without them and stop using them as crutches.
Jason Watson
good point user, I'll start my fun cycles this weekend. Thanks guys!
Ryan Scott
>Human Caravan didn't left >Dorf Caravan came , wagon couldnt get to Depot
I hope human merchants are not stuck.
Adam Peterson
I set up a silk farm for the giant cave spider I caught. So I placed his cage in the desired spot, hooked it up to a lever and pulled it. I placed a cat in front of his fortifications at first, and nothing was happening. So I ordered a squad in the web room, still nothing. I used V, he isn't there. I serach for him in the animals list, he isn't there, he's in deceased. I zoom into his corps, it zooms to where his cage was before I deconstructed it with a lever. Where the hell is my spider?
David Rogers
Could he have gotten squished by the cage and the mechanism? the description of the corps in the stocks says There is some ichor all over him, but there is no body.
Asher Phillips
It's neither, I returned to before I opened the cage and he's already listed as dead with his body gone.
Noah Walker
I've had a crow man scholar and a gorlak poet once, but that was it. That was before gorlaks could open doors so I have to wonder how he even managed to move around.
Ryan Lewis
I have beetle man bard who become my resident.
Ian Howard
I've never seem this relationship before. Is my Duchess a former slave?
Charles Lee
Former apprentice. She probably studied goblin poetry or something.
Anthony Jackson
That makes sense. I saw the goblin name and thought she was baby-snatched or something. It would have made a nice backstory.
James Martinez
Is it possible for male dwarves not to have beards in their physical description?
Luis Ortiz
So how do you tell a Dwarf's sexuality? I'm reading the descriptions of my Dwarves and there isn't really anything that stands out.
Brandon Cook
You can view it via The Rapist
Luis Peterson
if I build an artifact cage as bati constructed furniture, is it indestructible, unless it gets burned or melted?
