Year four is a tad late to finish the offices for the mayor and guard captain, but at least they look good.
Austin Sanders
This happened a couple times so far: one dwarf loses an argument and is angry about it, then he gets enraged, and starts fighting. Last couple times it was just three or four dwarves fighting, but now half my fortress is running around and punching people. Why does this happen and what should I do?
Carter Sanchez
jail them
Jaxson Wright
That's not possible.
Angel Jenkins
Anyone know if there's an alternative to bodyswap for dfhack? Or a mod that does something like it?
Joseph Hill
put them in a squad and turn them into wrestlers
Connor Taylor
Why is it almost constantly raining, no matter which biome I settle in?
Chase Moore
>fucking around in one of my weird caverncanoglacier sites >cutting trees for more lumber >notice water draining in the cavern lake which wasn't linked to my mist-supply >trees I cut down were linked to an air pocket? >water falls down onto a magma flow instead of casting obsidian immediately >cut down the rest of the trees above the air pocket and just watch to see what happens
The set has come along really nice comfyanon the engravings look better than I expected.
I think it's the biggest hole in the dfusion changeover, I'm still not sure what the replacement is, worst comes to worst I'll end up fiddling around to write a script for it, I think I have the general idea of what I'll need to do.
Aiden Jones
Here's the airpocket and the frames I set up so I can plug the drains easier if necessary.
Nathaniel Morales
Why aren't DFVIDTUTS recommended in the OP pasta?
Leo Jones
Why do my dwarves just start fighting for no reason? It's like some seasonal event were one gets enraged and attacks another and it just spirals out of control.
Cameron Martin
Arguments, are they brawling or fighting to kill? Brawls happen and are fine, one will stop when the other backs down or passes out.
Cooper Long
I've never had a brawling caused by an argument in my fortress, yet when I decided to venture In the real world with an adventurer, pic related happens Geez, those city people are really on their feet about everything, amirite?
Connor Howard
>picture = feminists
Logan Rivera
Yes arguments, they get angry or annoyed after having an argument, and then they fight. I think they are brawling, because if a dwarf is unconscious they don't attack him, but the problem is that they attack everyone they see, or everyone they see attacks them, I'm not sure. So far I've lost nine dwarves in two of these events.
Jaxon Williams
I once had a human maceman visit my fort. He was in a constant state of rage because of arguing. I had a dwarf who was moping around for years. And then finally the one who threw a punch was a lasher who wasn't even flashing red before that moment. There might be a lot to the personality of a creature which makes it brawl more often.
Camden Jackson
You mean captn duck? I have no idea, they used to be.
Angel Scott
For building a magma forge can I just get to the top of a magma pool, channel out a hole in the "roof" of the magma pool, and then place the impassable tile of a magma forge over the gap?
Is that all there is to it?
Will my dorfs fall into the hole before the workshop is built?
Cameron Reed
They shouldn't fall inside even when it's open. They do that only if they try to dodge something.
Jacob Foster
But otherwise that process should work?
Its my first time with magma so I don't wanna have too much fun.
Oliver Kelly
Yeah, they gotta dodge an attack to end up swimming in magma generally.
Charles Evans

Nathan Wright
When will the elves start selling booze again?
Nathan Thompson
Around elves, watch yourselves!
Jayden Gray
post forts?
I will encase the existing wall with stone blocks, for aesthetics. Then I'll build some smaller houses outside. Then I will assign the useless bums to those houses. Let's see how this works out.
Thomas Williams
Huh, I can make adventurer camps in the underground dwarven highways, even though there are dorfs and buildings there already. I wonder if they can be embarked upon.
Jordan Torres
back2/pol/
Camden Flores
this isn't on a dwarven site like you're suggesting, but I made my current fort around a worldgen tunnel and I have to say it's a little disappointing. nobody enters through the tunnel, not even if you block off your surface connection living by the cavern is kind of cool though also relevant to
Ryder Stewart
Does this give full coverage to a soldier: Helm, breastplate, gauntlets, greaves, high boots, or should I switch high boots for low ones, since it looks like greaves can sometimes cover lower legs?
Benjamin Garcia
I wouldn't expect it until the economy goes back in. It's (probably) close enough that any work in caravans today would be wasted effort. That said, Toady didn't remove alcohol from elven caravans on purpose, and there's always the possibility that he'll accidentally add it back.
Aiden Torres
Tunnels strike me as unbelievably cozy.
>temperature is cool year round >almost no enemies, though I ran into some reptile men off the beaten path >plenty of water to drink >extremely roomy, not at all claustrophobic >vast helm plum fields
Ethan King
Add a mail shirt and a cloak and you've got full coverage.
Alexander Hernandez
>equating monkeys with negroes
um racist much
Gabriel Clark
High boots are universally superior to low boots, there is no reason to use low boots except in 1 in a million corner cases.
I would give them cloaks and hoods as they become available. Very minor protection tho
Ah yes, forgot mail shirts, which are da bomb. They protect the neck, legs, and arms, at least sometimes.
Angel Long
>plenty of water to drink
Nicholas Jones
>tfw memes are becoming real At least he isn't the general any longer. The current one is a dorf.
Easton Rivera
Keas can fly so the analogy doesn't work as well.
Asher Davis
I agree, and I hope that when start scenarios/hill dwarves/deep dwarves and all that shit eventually gets put in, there's some sort of option to play as deep dwarves. the stuff you describe would be even better if travellers, invaders, etc. actually moved along the tunnel
I would be ok with an embark scenario like that where you had no access to the surface and had to rely on rumors from visitors to find out what was happening up there
Andrew Thomas
NPC dorf settlements seem to get fucked up fast just in the default types of settings, so I could imagine its up to a player fort on tunnel watch duty to keep invading goblins from getting all the way through to the Dwarven Halls. Additionally, it may be up to the player to watch for forgotten beasts, subterranean animal tribes, and night creature migrants passing through.
Blake Bailey
I've only now noticed that when I use the workshop profile to order, let's say, 20 barrels and 20 buckets, that it will alternate between those two instead of making 20 barrels and only then 20 buckets.
Is there a way to make the works stop the alternating tasks, or should I just be content that there even exists a way to order stuff in bulk?
Aaron Baker
The advantage of putting the impassable tile over the channel is that you stop magma dwelling beasts from giving you a visit
Xavier Bailey
Order it to a specific workshop.
Y-you do have 2 carpenters right?
Julian Scott
You can suspend one at the workshop out have multiple workshops and set your orders to a single workshop each
Elijah Martinez
Right, here is the scenario. When you are embarking, you can bring 3 items (excluding the caravan), and 1 of each of these items. You can have skills as default.
Which ones do you bring?
Liam Sanchez
2 picks and an axe
Anthony Smith
After four years, those vile forces of darkness finally decided to make a move. Can't wait until they start sending real armies, though.
Josiah Sullivan
would be pretty cool. >extremely limited population because you're just an outpost, but about half of the migrants that do arrive are competent warriors >listen in on tavern conversations to catch rumors of relic-hunters that might try to sneak past you to the mountainhome in an attempt to steal shit >regularly have to fight off invasion forces larger than your entire population >provide escorts for dwarven pilgrims travelling to some distant temple
Cameron Hall
Why people with such tile/graphic sets is allowed to post? Really, it's too goofy to be taken seriously
Angel Richardson
Anons be hatin' on my comfyset.
Bentley Baker
Nah, 60 pop cap and I didn't cross train enough. And a bunch of them died so I'm missing some legendaries to keep the sailing smooth, and I'm on a 2x1 embark so there isn't much stuff except rock, so there is not much rough material.
The question is actually concerning armor pieces. To make it concurrent I'd have to have 6 armor smiths and that's a no go in most cases. I want best of the best armor pieces.
Cooper Bennett
anvil, axe, pick
Lincoln Turner
I'd just do it manually, for something like armor it isn't that important to automate.

I just embarked and I found out there is a good population of giant brown recluse spiders and alligators.
Should I be too concerned?
Bentley Rogers
depends how close to the water you are, sometimes you embark right on the river and as soon as you unpause they swarm out and rip your shit up
Samuel Clark
I am right next to a stream. It has been about 20 minutes and nothing has happened.
Adam Torres

Zachary Harris
Square sets are for square people, fampai.
Oliver Bennett
Rude. Comfyanon is family, even if he hasn't learned to use square tilesets.
Juan Rogers
I noticed that my human solders are practically armor less and started doing armors designed to people larger than dorfs.
Jaxson Nelson
be warned that they're often very weak and have low armour user skill, so they sometimes end up moving unbelievably slowly when fully dressed up
Austin Barnes
Not really. GBRSs don't have the webbing ability that GCSs do, but they do leave webs behind in the environment that can be gathered for silk without having to open the caverns. You might lose a dwarf every now and then to them but overall they're a net benefit to your fort.
And if you can catch some alligators you can tame them up, set up some nest boxes and breed them as a source of meat and eggs and guard animals. You might lose a dwarf every now and then to the wild ones but overall they're also a net benefit to your fort.
Mason Sanders
>You might lose a dwarf every now and then to the wild ones Dwarf Fortress goes didney worl.
Ethan Adams
Even in leather or bone armor?
Nathaniel Russell
oh, that should be fine doesn't protect them much, mind
Carson Nelson
What if those spiders are captured and trained? I know GCS are trainable.
Owen Peterson
You can't make them shoot web(since tame animals will just panic when they see enemies) and they'll die after like two years. It's not worth it.
Eli Carter
Not him. True, but the absolute first thing you want is just stuff that will keep your guys from being scratched up by every wandering creature, plus a helmet isn't too big of a problem.
Asher Allen
Does silk, pig tail, (rope reed?), and jute cloth offer any noticeable distinction in terms of protection?
Gavin Jones
That's like saying he hasn't learned to be an elf.
Are you an elfaboo, user?
When did this: ╔══╗ ║║║║ ╚══╝
Become hotter than this: ╔═╗ ║║║ ╚═╝
Josiah Young
Elfabooism was completely pointless back in .34.11, but nowadays elves are flat out amazing with the tavern and wood updates; great stats for being bards (musicality +, linguistics +++, intuition +), rare and valuable recuperation + and disease resistance +++ (which means elves, like Legolas, can drink dwarves under the table), and the universally useful agility + and kinesthetic ++. They're also fast as fuck.
Now, elves as a CIVILIZATION are basically always going to be relegated to just the sidekicks of the dorphs of course.
David Reed
You've convinced me to make a gay ass elf adventurer next.
Owen Turner
their plan is working
Carson Anderson
How do I efficiently clear up remains? Do I use a stockpile for refuse or use a zone?
Nolan Wood
Around elves, watch yourself.
Easton Sanchez
Alright so I'm trying to dig down to a magma pool I found the side of in a cavern.
I start my dwarves digging above where I'm pretty sure it is, and eventually they stop.
I hit the magma tube, but the top 25% of it is hollow.
So my question is: >Can I get dwarves to drop water down this hole until there is a layer of obsidian over the magma, and then go down there and build magma forges on the obisidian floor?
Or,
>What is the optimal way to build forges on a magma lake?
Brody Perry
buckets and an empty pit
Jordan Lopez
Fill a pit in my fort with magma? Can I make a magma well?
Do I just make 1x1 channels and fill them with magma under my magma forges?
Tyler Williams
Neither is more efficient than the other (or very efficient at all). A stockpile requires less micromanagement than dumping, but takes up more space.
Nathan Peterson
You can fill a pit with magma, but not using buckets.
Joshua Bailey
just dump them into magma
Eli Wright
Then what was talking about?
Christian Rodriguez
water buckets into the magma pit with an empty pit area..
Brayden Adams
OR I could create a waterfall from a nearby cavern layer to turn it all into obsidian at once.
Would that be any faster than buckets?
Joseph King
depends how good a plumber you are
Nathan Price
Alright I'm gonna do it. I feel like an underground waterfall into a lava pool to make a floor is the Dwarven Way.
Brody Nelson
This has to be the most overrated game of all time? Has anyone ever bought this game? Or even played it? I get that some games don't really need amazing graphics to be great but seriously......this looks atrociously bad.....and yes I did try this game once but quickly thought.......no way.... Just not fun.
