I wish Toady wasnt a lazy fuck. That way we could have multi threading and not have to worry about FPS death

when I try to change these settings they automatically reset

Do you autolabor activated or something?

there's no dfhack console that pops up when I load the game so idk how to check

Do you have dfhack installed?

yes

Then autolabor must be enabled. Try opening dfhack manually.

Do rock mugs count as 'goblets' for purposes of stockpiles? If so - do my dwarves just not care enough to move them to the correct location?

>Do rock mugs count as 'goblets' for purposes of stockpiles?
Yes
>If so - do my dwarves just not care enough to move them to the correct location?
Most likely.

ya dfhack-run is not starting working fuck

Backup your save and get a fresh install of DF.

when I launch DF it links me to the install java website, what's this? I'm using the lazy nub pack

...

>muh sikrit klub

nevermind friend, it was the soundsense 300 mb audio thing trying to download itself, I activated it and forgot about it, it wants java installed. Huge nono.

how do you find metals? I'm digging down 40 levels now and got nothing but a cavern with gemstone-tier shit

Was your embark in a area with shallow metals (multiple) and/or deep metals (multiple)? not all places are rich in metal;

I know shallow for a fact

Is anyone else deathly afraid of the ocean in df? I just hate the idea of a giant sea monster rising from the dark depths to eat you.
Depending on your embark, you might of embarked on an area overlapping a section with metals and a section without. Try digging all over the area instead of just a small section, as you might be digging in the area that is the one without metals

>miner died of deyhydration, was moved into the hospital zone without even being put into a bed, multiple crutches and splints were made, none were given to her. With splints set or crutches she could have gotten food and water. Nobody brought her crutches. Nobody set the splints. Nobody gave her food or water and she died panicking in terror lying on the floor next to a bed as all the dwarves walked by her for weeks.
idk what I could have done to save her, v-p-l wasn't working R I P. She dreamed of making masterworks.

What are your favorite mods?

None. Only vanilla.

>think I've got the hang of this creature variation shit
>try to set up a hybrid race with [COPY_TAGS_FROM:X] and [COPY_TAGS_FROM:Y] strung together
>fucking picks one or the other

Fuck, I know there's a way to do this, there's gotta be.

bump

I really want to try that underhive total conversion. Anyone played it?

Is there a standalone equivapent of the Accelarated module from Modest mod and the similar one from Masterwork?
Many types of material are fused into one (all kind of leather > leather) and it improves performance

Revised is heading down that path.

In case anyone missed these two.

he's just saying "fuck you" to DF clones in a polite way

Sea monsters are a thing, but they're aquatic and thus no danger to (usually) landlocked dwarves. Now if you happen to be on an embark with husking/thralling weather over the ocean then you're fucked if one of them shows up.

Hell you're fucked if you bump into some giant sperm whales in that situation.

What mod lads?

Been playing on and off for the last 4 years mostly on ((masterwork)) but people keep telling me it's shit without saying why.

do we need to make a fucking infographic on why it's bad, and link it in the OP?

>using any mods besides dfhack
"no"

there are some pretty cool mods that make combat more realistic, changing parameters for tissues, materials and adding logical body parts
I had never seen a broken tooth before in vanilla, and that shouldnt be

Yes please, don't keep me in suspense.

>sea monsters are a thing
wut
fuck

that's unironically a bad idea
If the drawfags collabored, it would be a great adition to /dfg/'s culture

Botes

See you in 2029.

That is awfully optimistic user.

Toady can work really fast if he wants to.
I still believe in myth release before 2020

>average succession game on bay12

Botes will only become interesting once economy is re-implemented

dont worry. as said by Toady, he thinks the exact same

kek, I had to quarantine some bitten dorfs, and now this happened.

hopefully she won't turn.

I guess he kinda deserves it, though

>that pic
hereditary illnesses when, Toady?

No, but really, I can Imagine being a [HEREDITARY] tag when the syndrome systems is expanded in the future, stuff lika that is awesome
People would make third party UIs specifically made to craft diseases

My beautiful son, protect him

I laughed like an idiot, thanks

I totally agree
Imagine playing a civ. mode, there would totally be a tab for checking dangers to your nation, like the spread of a disease, which would more than probably take all your concern

YES

YES!

...

Holy shit this is brutal.

...

what a waste
he could make your fort great again

That's why you just play them with your best friend and try to fuck each other over by changing notes left right and center.

The year of version 1 is 2018.5 Trillion

Good morning /dfg/!

Mornin'

>helm plump women

Night DFG!

...

>didn't even get a name
what even decides whether animals who kill hist figs get names or not?

when I start adventurers in old towns, the towns are often full of hist fig crocodiles who became hist figs by killing someone in worldgen, so it's obviously a thing. why doesn't it apply in other cases, such as your pic?

Can dfhack update from terminal with a command?

This mace lord is hardcore.

Brush titan?

No idea, it's a giant fleshy serpent that spits webs and has scales.

One more thing, it doesn't say "X has been struck down" anymore in the battle report, is it just me?
The report ends like this.

How do I make my dorfs butcher the titan corpse?

1. make sure that the titan is made out of flesh. this is usually the case, unless a different material is explicitly mentioned.
2. make sure that the corpse is within range of a butchery. for heavy corpses, it might be more effective to set up a temporary butchery just next to the corpse.
3. after that, the butcher job should be added to the shop automatically. if it doesn't, try to add it manually.

Problem is no one is going to gather the body.
And the stockpile has both refuse - corpses and corpses enabled, it works for everything else.

the body is likely out of range.

you either have to use dumps or stockpiles to get it closer to the butchery, OR you just build a temporary butchery next to the body. the latter is more convenient, since you won't waste time on hauling it.

Game crashed and I forgot to save.
Well fuck.
Another titan came instead this time, I'll go and kill this one.
What the fuck does regal bearing mean?

I was listening to this the other day and it fits to listen to while playing Dorf Fort:
youtube.com/watch?v=dzkfSx4Wgk0

>meat rotted away because dorf is too slow to bring it to a stockpile
Oh I am laffin.

I told you to build a temporary butchery next to the body, didn't I?

I did, there was too much meat for one dwarf to carry.

Brush is a kind of biome/vegeation, think of like:
>Startled, the rabbit ran off into the brush.
>The brush was thicker there and slowed our pace considerably.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brush#Noun
>(uncountable) Wild vegetation, generally larger than grass but smaller than trees
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brushland#Noun
>an area mostly covered with brush growth

>vegetation*

Oh right, i forgot they're tied to bioms.

>What are you doing boner?!
>This is wrong!! They have no beards!!

Thanks Drew

I wish you many camels and great job as always

5 pages of pic related, it even drew a crowd

are eggs bought from caravans fertilized? can they be hatched?

you are welcome!

Here you go. sorry for the wait.

Good to know

There should be a console release of DF.

nope :(

You're going to need one of those for that.
Having DF optimized for specific hardware would be fantastic though.
Maybe Toady will get some company to do that after releasing 1.0
