/dfg/ - Dwarf Fortress General

That's a fey mood. If they want a specific material they say exactly what material they want.

Anyone got that image of /dfg/ in a nutshell? The one with the neckbeard whispering about kobolds. One (1) imaginary artifact bone boot to whosoever posts it.

I just almost lost my best fort. A Marsh Titan attacked, swam through my moat, climbed the walls, and started killing people. I lost 12 dorfs, with dozens more permanently injured before he finally got beaten to death.

So I'm left with a few questions:
Will I ever get a new Baron? The Marsh Titan killed my first.

Is there any way to see what the titan's poison sting did? No one who was stung survived long enough for me to see what the poison was.

>Will I ever get a new Baron?
Unless they changed it I believe you can promote a new baron through the nobility menu (n is the hotkey)
>Is there any way to see what the titan's poison sting did?
Try checking the combat logs, other then that I don't think so.

>Or you could just not play with Dwarf The rapist

I'm not that Masochistic, user.

well bait'd my friend

This isn't the right one huh?

Guys, what does this mean?

I KNOW on the wiki there's a chart for cheating returns on metal bars for crafting then melting certain things like bolts, but I can't fuckin find it. Help me /dfg/

Should just be under melting, but it has had changes in different versions so I have no clue if there is a fully up to date one or not.

Seems bad for your civ.

is your civ is extinct?

Thanks senpai it was under melting.
On an unrelated note, I just got this from a mood without save-scumming, and I think it might be one of my favorite artifacts I've ever gotten

>Steel studded steel scepter

kek

Do dorfs ever recover from infections?

It depends on where they get the infection. If they get a broken nose and get an infection, at least in previous versions, it's a death sentence. But that's only because cartilage didn't (doesn't?) regenerate. But an infection of the arm or something can be fixed up with a little soap and time

Please use the updated OP next thread kthnx

here you go

Wow, /dfg/ is a lot more welcoming to new suggestions than the actual forums, what the fuck

If I had suggested the negative level stuff in the forums I would probably only have randomdragon answer me, and he wouldn't even talk about it (maybe misunderstand it), he would just rant about toady not fixing anything

but here, I say something>Somebody answers with some clarifications>we both agree

Not a whole lot of us, and those of us that are here tend to be pretty chill.

I mean, when 0.40 came out everyone shat their pants and we got a flood of shitters, but things have calmed back down since then.

Yeah it kinda is, also weird considering an outpost came.

It might be. I created it on a pocket world to try some stuff out, and my expedition leader instantly turned into a king. So it might just be that my fortress doesn't have a mother civ.

I know, but I have been testing this for some time, in both platforms, and this is definitively the place where I can get some thoughful responses on the suggestions I ask
Heck, most of the info I use to inspire myself to write suggestions to the forums are screencaps from this general, made by myself

I wish there was option to have such trade agreement that Elves trade cheap wood to us so cuting it is not necessary instead just "accept quota or we will invade you with shitty armies"

Also how effective is Elf method to farm wood anyway?

Captcha - images of trees

I would like it better if your broker, or other noble, could negotiate with the elves the number of trees you could chop
Oh well, I guess I must wait until the law/ss arc

Thing I wish to see is personalities of other civilisation rulers/diplomats affecting this.
As some Elf rules would just push for war out of hatred for dorfs, treefucking fanaticism or just warmongers, while some others would prefer establish some better long term agreements to limit wood choping in long run or build better trade relationship with both civilization so Elves can profit too, or some Elf rulers would be just dorffags.

>negotiating with the enemy
Elves are for exploding into gore, user.

Does Dwarf Fortress have any lewd content, and if not, are there mods with lewd content?

fuck off
this is not a game that needs this shit

toady is giving you his lifes work for free, why do you insist on taking a crap all over it?

Screw that, they are best source of exotic pets in world and hardly FUN as invaders or good source of invader reasorces (if there was at least option to burn wooden items into coal)

I mean you can mod in some kind of penis monster I'm sure...

Yeah, generally speaking, personalities don't show up much in adventure mode
And this is something I await strongly, because personalities should affect each facet of the game
This is, ultimately, a game to tell tales, and tales' protagonists are humans(itc dorfs), human lives are governed by their personalities and their circumstances. We bother a lot telling Toady how he should change the circumstances the dorfs experiment, but we don't ask him to better the other aspect, which is as vital as making roles, entities or status
look up pic related
There is a mod that adds genitals and secondary sexual characters, but no snu snu for now, although some people have some very interesting ideas regarding flirting, romance and sex.
I am talking about myself

>Start generating large world with very long history
>Leave computer for a few hours
>Come back to the world only 5 years out from being done
>World finishes generating
>Crashes immediately after generating
Well fuck you too.

What did he mean by this?

wtf I hate Veeky Forums now

He can't stop lurking trap threads on /b/.

I did it /dfg/, I flooded my fortress for the first time. Turns out there was a cavern river one layer above my fortress. Losing is fun I guess.

>cancels give water

>Zan Lenndakrul, Peasant cancels Give Water: too much water.

If I started an adventurer and came to my fort and nabbed the scepter how effective would it be for cudgeling things to death?

My favourite aspect of fortress floods are the dwarfs that get stuck in their rooms.

I've had similar too. I've stuck with small 'n' long now.

>Osnun
It's a goblin name
wtf

wtf indeed

10/10

Well, obviously you and just triggered my... dare I say it... trap card?

>lewd content
If you think repeatedly stabbing into someone's lower body with a weapon while they are grappled into submission is lewd, then sure.
Sometimes the random generation of names and books is pretty great

>Moistenedpass

I haven't played the latest version, is armor wear and tear as cancer inducing as it sounds?

Does the idea of having a fort with nothing else to do anymore besides pick your nose while your fully geared and trained soldiers tear apart everything sound fun or boring?

In adventurer it doesn't seem that bad. I haven't noticed my weapons being worn and if you block or dodge your shit won't break. I've occasionally had enemies break their shitty weapons (like knives and shit) on my shield and it's nice to be able to cleave apart the enemy's armor when it's too risky to grab and rip off armor chunks.

The only negative I've had is when I accidentally bashed some guy in the head with my crutch. The wooden crutch just shattered against the iron helm and I had to crawl everywhere.

The whole adjacent body part damage is a different story though.

it's a nerf and a buff, since it affects both you and your enemies.
something nice is that intelligent npcs now try to remove armour from unconscious people if they're having trouble doing damage through it. so people exhausting themselves from ineffectually attacking someone's head is less common.

>The wooden crutch just shattered against the iron helm and I had to crawl everywhere.

Is there a way to make dwarves prefer one meeting area over another? I have a massive legendary dining room that I would like to be my main meeting hall but all my dwarves just want to putter around in my shitty little library

That is actually rather hilarious when you picture it, huh?

>eat shit jerkass
>no, you know what
>EAT CRUTCH!
>*smash*
>oh, well shit
>*thud*

try making it into a tavern, so they go there to socialise. dwarves seem to only go to generic meeting areas if they are completely idle, as in 'no job'. which doesn't really happen any more once they have the option to fulfil their needs and stuff.

Definitely these days Dwarves vastly (VASTLY) prefer Tavern / Temple / Library over the alternatives. Super easy to make the necessary changes though to make it a good tavern, just need a nice dance floor.
Careful about Tavern visitors though, vampires can get in...

Help /dfg/ I have 60 dogs (including puppies) and am too lazy to geld and don't want to butcher them because I will cry what do

Send them out to battle
Give them a warrior's death

Get 51 more and accept the invite from an older human performer chick then kill them and blame her for it.

TO THE CAVERNS

Godamnit, first a vault with no way to the slab room and now a dark fortress with no way to the throne room. Is there any way to fix this?

Train them for war then assign them all to one soldier

Jump and Climb?

It's totally disconnected? You sure you didn't miss a staircase somewhere? Otherwise you are out of luck without dfhack.

train them to be war-dogs and prepare defense cage-explosions
lel

Talking about her, has toady said anything about dwarves having obsessions, like getting a dream goal, and actively trying to obtain it no matter why, like a mood?

I climbed to the top of the tower and there was nothing, I've checked every room for a way to climb up, nothing again. Talking about the fortress here, I figured I didn't really need the slab that much.

I'm double and triple checking everything here and there just doesn't seem to be a path there. Godamnit.

There's a personality trait that is tracked for all creatures that is essentially Libido, which results in such quotes-of-the-moment as "I'm feeling randy today!"
Sex is just idling together in a bedroom, though, with no mechanics or remarks from the game.

>I'm feeling Randy today!

C-calm yourself Urist!

That's good for Randy's focus levels right?

>Urist cancels feeling Randy: seeking towel.

...

>I'm eating Randy today!

Mounts in fortress mode FUCKING WHEN

what do you think of this bedroom level

the middle rooms are going to be like

fucking dining halls and shit

Instead of 3x3 cancer you could go with distributed stairways around the area?

I'm planning on making u/d stairs in the middle of the dining halls, yes.

3x3 main stairways are just aesthetic though

N-never mind, one of the down stairs I thought was a dead-end was actually an up/down stair. Silly me.

At least this guy ain't so tough.

godamnit

I dislike that it has different symmetry schemes on the east/west and north/south axes.

I'd like for it to be perfectly symmetrical on all axes too but honestly redesigning it is too much work for my tiny brain and I've been procrastinating about this fort for way too long

it's a compromise I had to make

But you could at least make the north and south branches mirror each other the way the east and west branches do.

oh my god i see what you fucking mean

that's legit disgusting

thanks for spotting that before it was too late user

Rooms should be minimum 3x3 for the sake of your hard working dwarfs.

Just doing my part, user.

any way to disable flying undead? any undead bird just ends your fort instantly and they always show up within the first year

Add [CANNOT_UNDEAD] to every flying creature.

re-asking this because I'm curious and don't play adventure mode

They're awful, sadly.
