first for I don't know how to play

First for dwarven steel best steel.

Purge all none generalist

>implying there is any other steel

leave your cave, urist

Goblins and humans should have access to steel too.

No.
My cave is my haven.

>propose humans and gobbos to have steel
>gobbos get 2x the steel by killing humans

Nice try ba(àáâã@ª)x

Only if they seize it from the dwars and then it needs to be spread, not automatically gained by their whole civ.

Reminder that dwarves are SJWs

So how did your story about the drawing children continue user?

gobbos are neoliberals

I love anime girls with big tits

Let's post some

ironic shitopsting is still shitposting
fucking stop

I actually want to know how the story ends.

As a community member, I really appreciate these posts.

I hope some autist doesn't come and ruin our fun claiming that it's "off-topic".

I prefer anime monster girls with big tits

This is what we should all strive to become.

me too, what I don't want is pure shitposting
still, that user was probably scared away by the shitstorm, so we may never know the ending

Im sorry to not follow the OP, but I wanna settle this now


baby-opressing tyrant here

so, I went some minutes to look up some stuff and when I come back, the thread is completely filled with discussion and people pissed about stuff

I have tried to give back some fun to this general several other times now
If the majority of this general believes that every post that doesnt have 'Toady' 'Dwarf Fortress' or any other code word doesnt belong here, I must acept it, and I will stop posting about it
I dont like people asking me to tell a story and then getting assblasted because they are listening to a story
If you wanna behave like the children of my story, that's up to you
but the next time that you complain at the 123th 'hey guys, what music do you listen DF to?' (we had those of that in the previous thread, btw. two) or any other unoriginal and tiresome post, remember that the reason no-one posts amusing or instructive things is because of you and only you

Jesus christ, find some middle ground between joining a discord or being fucking content nazis /dfg/, I actually beg you to do it or we will die as a general

Now I will fuck off to make some needed stuff irl, see you in the next thread

I wish raging forest fires were a thing it would be so sweet to chase away elf refugees in drows

I know right? /dfg/ is such a nice general!

I told you it would bleed into the next thread

Please continue user-san, we want to hear your story, uguu~

I was actually enjoying your story, and I thought it was fine (as any offtopic discussion once in a while is) because the thread was just a couple posts away from bump limit anyway.

But really, fuck off. The discussion died and should stay dead. If you want to improve the general then shut the fuck up.

Oh ok, bye!

We need to ban anime.

I mean, it generally is, it's just a bit "special" sometimes
it seemed like the majority were interested in your story, some people should really take a chill pill. this general has always had quality off-topic discussion sometimes and I don't remember any shitstorms about it unless it was really getting out of control like that one retarded teleology discussion, maybe this has changed during my few months of absence

...

I honestly think /dfg/ should die and stay dead until the next update.

It will be good for the general and the posters.

maybe we do need a bit of a break

But this actually fun.

Wanna fight anime girl?

>/dfg/ realized /rwg/ is ded
>literally 1 minute later /rwg/ is up again

As if you could hope to challenge me...
fufufufu~
Pitiful.

I fear that we'd return only to find a new /dfg/ general that exists only to troll, say, the minecraft general or something.

/dfg/ has lived through rougher weather and longer release intervals before. The problem is that we've got some bad hombres here at the moment, and they've been here for the last two months, using every excuse to stir up a shitstorm.

It definitely would be. The discussion here has gotten to be shit tier, and the posters have gotten to be aggressive autists. I'm going to guess it's the content drought and /rwg/ taking a big fat shit on this general, but the quality of discussion here has gotten to be so terrible.

I'd still like to know what to do about my broker.
>retarded teleology discussion
That's not a combination of words I see very often.

Actually, I started the new thread in the hope that things would calm down over here.

I named it "generic edition" because I don't know shit about Rimworld.

Just leave it. If you want to keep arguing about whether off topic discussion belongs in /dfg/, the last thread is still up. Dragging it into another thread isn't helpful no matter which side you were on.

/dfg/ has been alive for years, during content feast and famine. It may need a bump once in a while during the lean times, but that's no reason to let it die. We're always slow anyway, and that's fine.

There are generals that survived much worse than what we have here.
Just post about dwarves and hope it passes over.

Aggressive autism is just a defense mechanism and not a problem in any way.

...

*spawns lava and then water encasing you in obsidian*
Pathetic...

You're sure you've requested the trader? The merchants are actually trading and not just stuck? Green jobs are supposed to be interruptible any time, and I've never seen one that didn't interrupt immediately when job came available. Trading is very high priority, only eat/drink/sleep and purple needs jobs take precedence.

>Dragging it into another thread isn't helpful no matter which side you were on.

take note everybody, from a shitposting connoisseur, this is the end result every time some retarded sperglord crashes a discussion people are interested in even slightly. If you care about thread quality even one bit, you learn to let it go. Take this as a learning experience /dfg/, and don't make the same mistake again. You must let off topic shitposting take its natural course, or risk dire consequences in interfering.

>pic
Wow, is that pic part of a set or something? I can't find it at the moment, but I swear I have a pic saved with a very similar style.

he should move his ass over there soon, if you really want to make sure you could delete the location he's socialising at
as the teleology discussion, some guy brought up that it's scientifically proven that the purpose of human life is creation of offspring, several people told him that science doesn't deal with things like purpose, he didn't get it and the whole thing just spiraled out of control with like 100 posts
>Dragging it into another thread isn't helpful no matter which side you were on.
agreed. this problem can be resolved by everyone just chilling the fuck out

*the obsidian shudders and begins to move*
...
*breaks out of the obsidian*
So you have some skill... I suppose I underestimated your power.
Well I have important business to attend to, ta-ta!
*teleports away*

I actually really like this idea.

This won't be the last time you'll face me, I'll be back, stronger...

No idea, sorry.

Do we know what exactly happened to that guy?

>Kiror Teethdrills was a male gorlak born in 141 and died in 270 (Old Age).
>Goal: Immortality

Holy shit my browser almost crashed when I opened that pic

Yes, I'm sure I've requested the trader, and the merchants are still trading. The only wild animals are on the other side of my fort, it's the 4th of Sandstone and there have been no messages about them leaving. I guess if building walls nearby (but not blocking their way at all) causes problems that might be it, since I'm trying to block off everything but a wagon path to the depot while they're trading. I guess I'll wait one more dorf day or so and then delete the tavern room. I need to do that at some point anyway, since one of the musical instruments seems to have gotten stuck and I want to see if that unsticks it.

and I thought my firefucks was an unstable piece of piss

The TRANS_NAME] thing is just because of a typo in the code (leaving out the [ ) right?

Firefox is objectively superior.

it's faster than IE, and doesn't spy on you like Chrome.

nah, it's because "TRANS_NAME" is how the name of a character is defined in the speech files. when a character uses the line without having a name (i.e. due to being a nameless animal person out in the bush), they just use the variable instead.

>make elephant man adventurer
>max out strength
>max out hammerman
>dfhack in a masterwork slade maul
its like im the Babe Ruth of Dwarf Fortress, everyone i hit goes flying

...

I mean, yeah it is superior to literal shit like IE or Chrome, but I'm still thinking of switching over to palemoon or waterfox or some other install gentoo type shit, since my firefucks crashes fairly often

Then why is there a ] but not a [ ?
Initially nameless historical figures can come up with a name when you talk to them, so I'm not so sure.

Found a similar one in my DF folder.
Maybe it really is a series.

Well, simply waiting did the trick, though it took until the 6th of Sandstone. I wonder if this might be due to the fact that he had to drink water instead of booze last time he drank. I'm not sure why that happened, but I'll be rectifying that particular issue soon.

I never even used a danger room to train. I really should try it.

Strike on, bro

>Initially nameless historical figures can come up with a name when you talk to them
I'm gonna need proofs for this, user.

As far as I know, the only way an animal (as well as a "wild" animal person) can get a name is by killing a hist fig.

Talking to animals in adv mode creates nameless hist figs.

>dfhack in a masterwork slade maul

How do you do that? Can you select quality with create-items?

I wonder what this game's age rating would be if it was ever commercially released (which is rather unlikely)

I found the one I was talking about.

It definitly appears to be the same artist.

Wilderness creatures don't have a language file associated with them.
The text saying TRANS_NAME] is an actual bug and thus behaves unpredictably.
The Toad should just use angel or kobold languages for them.

It seems that they were nerfed pretty hard recently.
Never tried to set one up after that update though.

createitem [weapon tag] [material tag] [optional: amount]

im not sure how it decides the quality but i only got masterwork and exceptional

They don't work anymore. Force translation killed them. Good riddance, IMO.

...

What happens if you atom smash a atom smasher?

It returns 50% more bars than you used to make it

>tfw nein dots won't return to save us from shitposts

...

lmao

>return
he never actually went anywhere, he just doesn't post in every thread
fucking sick

They're not even necessary anymore now that sparring was buffed back up to "spar 1.5 years for legendary dwarves" level.

this
still, you could probably play around with symptoms and skilled doctors to make them immune to pain or something
there is still room for experimentation

But they haven't solved the riddle yet.

>weebshit belongs on /a/

Fuck off Urist McNewFag.

>It seems that they were nerfed pretty hard recently.
>They don't work anymore.
Welp, I lived without it so far, I can go on. Though I could just reroll to an earlier version if I get the itch.

>m-muh weeaboo safe space
If the entire site was supposed to be used to discuss anime, then why are there special boards for it as well?

We keep /a/ in /a/ for the same reason that we keep /pol/ in /pol/, that is, not because we're offended by it, but because different boards have different purposes, and we want to preserve the diversity by not having the exact same discussions over several boards.

replaying earlier versions can be a ton of fun. I started playing on the version with musical instruments, taverns and playable animal men, and every once in a while I like to play a fortress in the old 2d boatmurdered era version.
It's especially good because the wiki has separate sections for the older versions too.

They were never really necessary if you knew the workaround for the bug that prevented proper sparring in .34.11. They were more effective than normal training then, and even after the nerf in .40 they were still more effective for brand new recruits. Not a good argument for using them, any more than any other exploit, but still true.

Fuck off weeaboo.

Are there any rape mods?

it's easy to throw one together yourself.

obok meatgod may have been fake, but you can mod the things in in a similar way.

It surprises me that to this day people at bay12 forums still believe in that obok shit

Fucking newfags

Why did one of my dwarfs die from dehydration while sitting in a tree?

Weebshit belongs on /a/ and the other anime-oriented boards but if you want to discuss it here that's completely fine.

user you should know that you can't call people newfags anymore or else you'll get called a retarded oldfag.

No water maybe?

>there's a fuking 1:03:42 audio of Toady talking about DF just released

Thank you, generous god. with this I'll be able to last another month
