How can I create a world for adventurer mode where there'll be a lot of things to kill and explore? My main problem always seems finding hostile stuff that can be a challenge to me, maybe I'm just bad at exploring. Also, can I equip my companions somehow?

Two of my recent migrants just got into a fight with each other, so it looks like I'm going to need a sheriff. What makes a dwarf a good candidate for sheriff? Also, that spinner is going to be perpetual trouble, isn't she?

IRL spider appreciation edition

You can give stuff to your companions using the trade dialog, but getting them to actually use it can be tricky sometimes. As for generating a world with things to kill, you can adjust the number of beasts in simple world gen and the number of types of nightcreatures in advanced world gen. I once tried out a world with an absurd number of nightcreatures and had no difficulty at all in finding them, though it caused some interesting lag on the calendar view.

Look past the elf lies and see the truth for yourself. Do not let your civilization succumb to the elven influence.

EVERYONE POST YOUR CURRENT FORTRESS

Is this close enough?
I'm not done training yet
I'm planning on holding out on fort mode until the rapist is updated

I'm posting bote until we get botes and fishing in DF

You double digger. At least post different pictures

Must I assume you deleted it before because you realized fishing is already in game?
Oh, no, you must be retarded then

He probably means adventure mode fishing

I MEAN BOTES AND FISHING CREATURE FISH NOT DISGUSTING CRITTER FISH

ahhhhhh, got you then senpai, no need to get all fussy
Well yeah, that would be quite interesting to play, along with fish traps and webs for fishing

Apparently getting caught in "a blast of forgotten beast boiling extract" does absolutely nothing
That's good to know

not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing place...

Can you stop shilling your shit everywhere, you retarded brony?

First time seeing this, what should I do

>leaving rocks on the floor

Don't do that

>spend all this time making a character and geting out of the fort.
>game crashes on fast travel.
love it

...

I think you should go for it.

>tfw all the things I want will probably be added to the game for real.

Boats being a big deal so there are pirates, merchants, ferries, ect

Ridiculously intricate political system and schemes

nations and invaders that come from other planes of existence

multi-tile creatures

having a separate thread for mastershit

is there any way to clean up a wound after being treated and patched up? One of my soldiers got his arm mangled up in training, and although he can pick up his spear again, i didnt have my soap industry running at the time. now he has infections up to his shoulders, but the motherfucker still trains and drills like nothing.

Huh, I thought there's nothing you can do about infections and you just drop dead after it gets into your brain or heart?

PURE STEPPE WAIFU WHEN

Looks nice! What is it? Also what is your tileset?

why does everyone i ask to join me want to die

>wood

>living in fucking trees

Let me guess... you think its ok to live like an elf just because the trees were cut down first?

Semi-newb from yesterday that wanted to be a war-monger.
I fucked up my embark size because I forgot that was a thing. Now my only source of water is a single murky pool while the nearby river is just out of reach.
Also holy fuck the sand, it took a dozen z-levels to find actual hard rock, and now after royally beefing my attempt to turn my murky pool into an underground reservoir I'm seriously considering restarting to a more 'savage', larger area, and not wussing out on aquifers

Would probably have a better time if I could stop fucking up farming too, any recommended embark sizes that are a good balance between "Having enough room to work in" and not "Nightmarish resource-wise"?

Also, text contrast is real fuckey, namely any selection menu where the text is white I can't see what the active selection actually is without ramping up the contrast on my monitor just to get whatever selected. Can I tweak with options in the lazy newb pack to un-fuck that easily?

you can still get a water source in the caverns

Make a girl character in a steppe area and retire them. Become the waifu.

I assume they're infinite, or substantial enough to supply a fort off of?

>in order to get a gf, you must first emasculate yourself
really maeks u think huh

There's probably at least one lake that borders the map so yes.

not infinite, but they can be pretty big
with three cavern layers there is a good chance that one of them will have a suitable pond

nagidal24x24, it's on the wiki's repository

Aight, we strike after work
Let's see how the horrors of the caverns fare against my mighty army of pillarmen.
I mean unarmored wrestledwarves
I mean pillarmen

how does that emasculate you?

pillar men when?

>migrant wave
>there's a miner who is also a great poet and novice wordsmith
>recites poetry in the inn regularly
>dwarves who listen to the poetry get good thoughts

Neat.

is there a where shopkeeper or who owner command in adventure mode

i'm getting kinda sick of "you should try a shopkeeper" and "I don't work here"

I have yet to see any consequences for stealing.

If you don't wanna steal at all, simply take items from the stockpile you found it in, drop it on the floor, and hit Z to wait for 1 hour

i wanted to sell some shit I got after I killed a bandit

[spoiler[AI-I-I-AIIIIIIIIIIIIIII[/spoiler]

On an unrelated note: What are some of the most fitting/best random names you got for your group/fort/symbol so far?

Just recently I was setting up and embark and my proud dwarves gathered under the symbol of "The Fortification of Anusses". No, I'm not making this up.

Whenever I generate a smaller or pocket region with 1000 years of history I get this error in legends viewer help me please

That's what you get for using Mastershit

That's just a quirk with how DF describes some (mostly proc-genned) materials. If its boiling point is lower than normal ambient temperature, or lower than the temperature of material that it comes into contact with, then it will be described as boiling. You see the opposite a lot with deadly spittle being described as "frozen forgotten beast extract". Of course if you encounter a dragon or a firebreathing FB or something like that and find yourself getting caught in bursts of boiling granite then you should run for the nearest murky pool, because your beard is probably on fire.

Hmm when I use specify image in engraving and select historical figure who is charcter I suspect as vampire it will confirm if it is vampire and show real name of character. Neat.

turns out it actually does have an effect since seven of my dwarves are now dead and their blood is all over the floor
I wonder why this didn't show on the wounds screen for each dwarf?
Shouldn't they notice heavy bleeding from every orifice?

Syndromes have to be diagnosed in the hospital before they show up in their health screen.

I assume there is no direct treatment possible yet in DF for syndromes, right? Like you can treat rotted flesh (presumably by cutting it off) etc., but there's no way to neutralize poison via treatment, right?

guys hlp pls
