/dfg/ - Dwarf Fortress General

I'm very new to DF and what is this?
What will happen?

if you press a), you'll get a lot more immigrants from now on, and the mountainhome will make a lot of arbitrary decisions for you, which may fuck up your fort.

No.

No. No. NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo.

Stay away. Or you'll have to deal with Nobles.

Sounds like fun.
I'll do it since I'm a bit tired of this fort so far since it's at a too hospitable place and I have so much shit at the moment that it's not very silky smooth in the FPS department anymore either.
Time to dig deep I guess.

Inside will be a series of entries and each will have an emotion, an unknown value, a strength field, a type of thought which the emotion references, and then a field that can have a simple counter or a histfig id (or was it unit id, hmmm, pretty sure histfig) and said histfig can have emotion+thought linked with it, so you can have [FONDNESS] or [EXCITEMENT] after starting a new romance, [HORROR] or [GRIM_SATISFACTION] at seeing someone die/killing them, and so forth.

I love how the basic thought has two main components:
>[statement]+[brief comment or description of emotion related to said statement]

It really reads like a Trump tweet.

Would you rather he'd just typed "bump"?

Bump

Quartz!!

What's the deal with diamonds?

Rock crystals look almost the same, are much cheaper, and aren't mined under ethically questionable circumstances in war zones.

Oh shit, am I going to get to slaughter some elves soon?

´>letting elves talk to you like that

cuck

I wonder how tough they'll be.
I only have 2 squads but at least they're both clad in Steel from tip to toe.

he's just a snotty diplomat, next spring he'll come with an agreement

if you ignore it and kill ALL elves you get to kill MORE elves

Kill the diplomat and find out.
>two full squads in steel
Assuming they have decent Weapon, Fighter, Armour User, Shield-User and Dodging they'll butcher upwards of two dozen without casualties.

The ten dollar question, do your dwarfs love their leader?
Is your leader applicable to this image in any way?
Stockpile socialism?

Thanks, I'll kill them all.
Also I finally hit the second cavern layer and now I'll get to test my underground squad against a horde of Crundles and a Troll.

Hope you enjoy entire caravans-worth of crundle prepared meals.

We can grow them in labs now, and hopefully kill the bloodsoaked trade entirely, and now I am sad because I have no more Discworld books to read ever so I'm gonna go sleep.

I know that feeling, to an extent. Still haven't gathered the courage to read The Shepherd's Crown.

I didn't know Masterwork had pet rocks

That's fucking retarded

I knew it did.

I thought I had them turned off.

Scratch that, I checked.
I DID have them turned off.
Apparently Masterwork just loves Pet Rocks so much, that it includes them, even if you have them turned off. Or one of the other modules puts them in, because why not.

I wonder if you could use them as bait for invaders

Meph called, he wants to go to Turkmenistan now, empty your pockets.

Loved this one.

...

Yeah, you can see where he realized he wouldn't have time to keep going and wrapped it up.

Cool, I like the mask

I've smelted all copper and iron goblinite and got a few thousand bars, but what to do with leather shit?

What do I do with Adamantine now that I have it?

tfw no 30 z levels of gabbro

Make a big pile and roll around in it nude.

Or extract strands at craftsdwarf shops, then smelt them into wafers, and make armor/weapons from those.

Yeah, guess I'll make a squad or two fully clad in adamantine now.

Now draw a goblin agent masquerading as a bard/scholar/prophet/elf.

>adamantine armour

not adamantine socks and cooking pots for each citizen.

Two words:
Fake
Beard

How the FUCK am I supposed to deal with keas interrupting all my dwarves in my above ground fort? I set my militia on patrol all over my base and they don't do anything when keas are near. I tell them specifically to kill a kea and they don't do anything, I've got them outfitted with crossbows/bolts and everything. The only time they get killed is when they fly into my tavern and the visitors slaughter them.

Remove the [FLIER] tag from keas, watch them fall to the ground and explode.

Station them near where the keas are getting lowest. If a kea is low enough to interrupt a job it's low enough for a marksdwarf to take a potshot. It'll probably miss, because marksdwarves aim for the kea is when they fire, not where it will be when the bolt gets there.
A better solution is to take your most valuable artifact, stockpile it somewhere away from your fort, and build a room around it with twisty hallways full of weapon traps. Keas are legendary appraisers and want to steal the most expensive swag they can get their grubby little claws on. They'll mass suicide to get to the shiny, and do so well away from your work areas. Kobolds will also go after it, and they're trap avoid. Put a dog in the room with the artifact to catch them. Make sure the dog can't be seen from outside the room or it'll scare keas away.
Good luck.

That feels too cheaty. I was hoping for some ingame advice, otherwise I might as well exterminate them in dfhack. Maybe if I made a stockpile of platinum goods in a roofed area with guards stationed at the entrance/around the goods it could act as bait? Or maybe traps instead of guards? Right now I think the only way they die is because flying into the tavern forces them to be on the ground.

Bruh, I didnt remember you senpai
I actually was the one to ask your name the first time

Uhh, I guess I was a bit too greedy for that adamantine.

Is dwarf therapist ever going to catch up, /dfg/?

It's fine. They just want to dance in your tavern and bang some qt dwarf grills.

Yes.

They partied hard.

SAD!

This is about what I had in mind, thanks friend.

>not raising the drawbridge.

...

Is that what I think it is

>spend days developing a fort
>realize I dont like it anymore

>implying I just didn't go straight down to the bottom

I'm very new to this, I thought all that shit about dangerous monsters down there was just lord of the rings memery.
I was going to assemble squads in full adamantine and kill all elves that dare come.

I did*
shit

Anyway, help me categorize my shit
was this from you?
Its all the images posted from every drawfag from 2 years ago

I'm not thinking about that

what do u mean then bud?

XP?

Never though I'd see the former dictator of my country as a pale vampire in here
Life is amazing

>embark with the intent of creating a great above ground skyscraper city
>no dorf caravan
>no migrants after the first two waves
>the 13 dorfs I have are the only ones in the world, and they have to build the entire city themselves
>one dorf is already dead
wtf I don't believe in god now

I laughed
eh, its something close to my heart, you know?
Also, it is objectively the best OS

You can do it indicomfrowstheticanon. I believe in you!

So close to a quints get.

Wait hold up, don't tell me dubs are disabled in Veeky Forums, I remember seeing them.

Well fuck

faggot

h-help!

My fort is too young to die!

The bridge user, raise it

jesus christ what the fuck is that monstrosity of a tileset

What do you suppose the chances are of that necromancer that showed up with all the zombies reanimating all those troll and troglodyte corpses right outside my walls?

i hate toady!!

deactivate multilevel view

switch tileset to a more bearable one

100%

I don't know guys, I like that tileset

What's the name?

>deactivate multilevel view

Then what's the fuckin point of an above ground fort? What's the point at all? Just for the sake of being a purist?

you can still view it level by level.

if you want to see it all at once and take pretty screenshots, there's Armok Vision

Ironhand

>mfw a weretortoise attacked and I've lost 75% of my fort to other people turning into weretortoises

Non 0 repeating digits are disabled
And for 0 only trips and above work
