do you think i would be wasting my life playing videogames if i could into math? just tell me how many square km does large world equate to

>says user before a wildfire kill everything

Really really large

Like Texas big

As the more observant among you may have noted, the amount of embark tiles per world map coincides with the number of pixels on the detailed world map. This means that each pixel on the detailed map corresponds to one embark tile.

speaking of wildfire the pool does like a bit like straya

Yes we get it it's big

Give save, man

Not as big as my schlong lol

holy shit, you're telling me that a large world is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the earth's surface?

mega.nz #!YFEgwLya!D1Aj3Ri8wHa9LwY1VX-3QY6gexljWaFiVWPNCnZVCp8

...

Not at all.

395 kilometers squared is about 156 000 km2.

The area of Earth's surface, on the other hand, is 510 100 000 km2.

The large world in DF is faaar smaller, but still pretty large by video game standards.

>Wow, I had seen one of the panels from this in a forum signature so on a lark I did a google image on it, great stuff, almost wish I had found it later so I could keep reading more!

What did he mean by this?

I dont understand what you are getting at here?

It's just interesting numbers related to world sizes. There isn't any "point" to it.

>asking whats the point
>in a general for a simulator that has no end point

Everyone could play on large worlds if he would just introduce multi threading

No I just thought maybe he was implying large worlds are redundant due to their size. I agree its interesting to know roughly exactly how large the various world sizes are. Didnt ever really know until now.

I smell dissent in your post, please follow me to the /dfg/ re educational facility

The toad himself will punish your insolence, foolish mortal

There is. Tbh I get that multi threading might be hard to incorporate, but the fact of it is at some point going to have to be added. The more he adds to the game, performance issues will be even worse, and multi threading will be even harder to implement.

...

Remember when memes didn't rule /dfg/?
Those were good times... good times...

>Oh nice, some people posted a couple of memes in this thread, time to get some sick (you)s

"HEY GUYS MEMES SUCK UPVOTE IF YOU AGREE HEHEHE"

Oh no, you've figured out my master plan
Whatever will I do without all those (you)s

Kindly jump off a cliff.

What have we become

no u

EPIC MEMESTERS XD

But seriously, I don't mind a few memes as long as they're in moderation. A balance between memes and actual discussion is best.

Here, take it

HEY GUYS PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT MEMES SUCK SUCK UPVOTE IF YOU AGREE HEHEHE

The fuck? Animals can worship gods?

my bad, I confused the notation (metric fag here)

Are all mummy curses the same? What do they specifically do. I may or may not have just been cursed.

I've been cursed

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY CHILL MOOOD YOU'RE RUINING IT YOURE RUINING EVERYTHING STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP STOOOOP IT I WANT CHILL MOOD I WANT CHILL MOOD I WANT CHILL MOOD STOP STOP STOP CHILL CHILL CHILL CHILL CHILL

What is the point of pocket worlds?
Like every time it's just a dying dwarf civ and a goblin civ.

>Complains there is no jobs

>Complains there is to much to do and no free time

I will never understand dwarfs

memes do not contribute to a "chill mood"
they in fact do the opposite, contributing to a "cringe mood"
especially the bad ones

NO YOU RETARD DFG IS ALL ABOUT THE CHILL MEMES ARE CHILL YOURE JUST DUMB STOP RUINING THE CHILL MOOD

I meant I found kill six billion demons from another forum with Zoss doing battle with the Primes.

So, have any interesting Adventure Mode stories you want to share, /dfg/?

Would be interesting and pretty fun to see the weird shit you guys come up with.

No

Dorfs are mysterious beings, they're never truly satisfied with just lounging around or working 24/7

Kinda like us, actually.

My ballista ammo stockpiles are not filling up.

I checked for quality, for the other furniture stockpiles but my ammo are staying at my siege workshop. Same thing for the heads, they are staying at my magma forge.

.

I jumped off the pinnacle of a goblin tower to try kill myself but ended up surviving.

Think Gandalf off the tower of Orthanc, only to stand up with a broken nose and walk away.

Ok I figured it out, didn't check for the Materials.

You can kill everything in then with ease and bring about the Age of Death

I know, I just found it amusing to see you pop up on there.

I'm slowly making my way through it. Becoming more keen on your KSBD mod all the
while.

Except they're not quite as grand. Hmm, I think I need to make an Orthanc.

Botes?

HE'S BACK GUYS ASSADASDDS

TIME TO SHOW THIS DUMB MEMESTER WE DON'T TOLERATE HIS KIND AROUND HERE

Haha someone screencap this before le 404

Dumb frogposter.

...

Holy shit fuck off already

>mfw thread goes to shit AGAIN

Funny how these threads are just shit and full of memes. No actual game discussion. Quite unlike the discourse over at the /rwg/

We used to be different. A long time ago /dfg/ was one of the most respectable generals on Veeky Forums.
The only fighting was Squares vs Rectangles as well as ASCII vs Graphics.

And even then it wasn't as bad as it is now.

Will dwarf sutured with admantinium thread get natural armor

if so would a dwarf sewn together by said thread and clad in armor of same material become some walking terminator then?

just been grinding my gear alot

I'm still stumped on some of the magic effects I'm trying to work through.

I like to think the squarefags saw how sad and depressing rimfags are since the diagnosis of cancer came back and recognized the error of their ways.

You guys know who is actually behind all this shitposting of late?
Don't check the spoiler unless you're ready to take the square pill: it's the fucking square-tileset users.

>using square or rectangle tilesets
>not using the clearly superior circular tilesets

reported

spoken like a true rectangle falseflagger

...

>tfw no one reposts your OC
>instead, they repost bastardised (and untruthful) versions of it

post your oc then

...

Nice

It wasn't even a long time ago. It's only the last couple of months that some newfags have come in and started vandalizing every thread. They don't know or care about our general's culture.
And before anyone says it, no, it's because it's been a while since the last update. /dfg/ was never like this in the long update droughts after 34.11 and 40.24.

*not because of...

Think i must have embarked on some weird place

cause i only get blob FBs and they dies to everything
the only real challenge so far was a flying fire breathing blob

What kinds of magic are we getting in the myth and magic updates, I've heard there will be a slider and stuff, but what does this mean apart from choosing between worlds either having magic or not?

Do we get the simple dnd tier spells that we learn, or will magic be more pervasive, relying on spirits or channeling gods and stuff.

it's one or two people tops.

it wouldn't surprise me if they're cross-general shitposters from you know where.

You... Y-you don't mean...? /r/rimworld?

I'm gonna fuck that dumb loli witch

1. She's not real
2. She's a child
3. Senshi is the superior waifu

I'd love to see all kinds of magic to be honest.
Elemental magic, light and dark magic, healing magic, blood magic, rituals, miracles, curses, voodoo, illusion magic, geomancy, mind control, time magic...

There's so many types of magic I'd love to see in DF. Plus, Toady could get real creative with the type of magic he adds, and could come up with some crazy shit, like Gem magic or something.

Dude, they're right next door, don't gotta go to reddit to find that sort of depressing faggotry.

>3. Senshi is the superior waifu
troof

>Each dwarven civilisation has their own form of earth magic based around which mineral they value the highest
>Elves use the their nature powers to send natural disasters or animalistic rampages against their foes
>Humans use pretty much any kind of magic they can get their hands on, with their favourites being the most obviously powerful
>Goblins don't use magic, only the demons acn cast hugely powerful spells with world-changing consequences, but require immense bloodshed and preparation

My penis is incredibly stiff.

Son a bitch

Reminder.

IIRC he's said there'd be an internal list to draw from that are gated by the world's magic level. More mundane worlds might have ritual magic that may or may not actually even work or an animistic "beseech the spirits of this place" type deal, while high magic worlds would have more diverse, pervasive, or unusual systems like one centered around talismans, or inborn ability, or it being something you can learn or be taught.
