This upcoming update seems like a very fundamental one. I'm hesitant to return to the game before it drops, since there might be some problems using an old world/fort in the new release. Or am I full of shit?

Not much is going to change really to be honest.

one fort isn't a big deal.

so the save becomes incompatible with the new version. who cares? just gen a new world and start up a new fort.

also, there's no way it comes out before late may, so you'll probably abandon several forts due to fps death before that.

DEAD

GENERAL

Do what now?

Why are these graphics so shit? I can't find out how to shoot shit.

Look up Paul Noble's tutorials vids.

The noble?

No, the singer.

That black guy?

unofficial extended soundtrack

What's some dworfy music to listen to while siccing the hammerdwarf squad on the elven traders?

‡¡‡¡‡¡‡
it's a facade

Is a library worth building, what are the benefits?
On a similar note, how many tavern keepers does a 200 dwarf fort tavern need?
I don't get visitors because of my position it seems.

This is trippy as fuck. I wanna get lost in all the details, but staring too long starts fucking with my eyes in weird ways.

I'm looking to mod in a few races. Any utilities or some guides to help me out on that?

I lost an adventurer to boogeymen in one of a dozen hamlets in a narrow river valley and I can't remember which one it was. I want her adamantine spear. Is there anyway to find it without manually combing over each square?

>utilities
Notepad.
>guides
The wiki.

I think if you check legends it will tell you the region? If you were in the hamlet proper it will at least tell you which one, if not it will be less specific and just tell you what you already know.

Freakoutacade more like it.

those ornaments look like the faces of collossi in SotC.

I used to be well into Dorf Fort but these days I just can't play it. The fun part is setting up the embark party equipment (7 rat meat, 14 ales, 2 picks, an axe and a bag of seed. Maybe a dog), then I get into the game proper and I'm all like "Well, shit", and turn it off. The graphics are fine, controls are (more or less) fine, its just playing the game that gets me.

You're a godlike artist, damn. Absolutely love your stuff

>frogpost shit in the OP

>first goblin seige, 10 goblins
>obviously get captured by my cage traps
>dwarves make a statue of goblins being consumed by cages with 100 dwarves laughing

>his "dwarves" can't even beat ten gobbos in fair combat
pathetic

dwarves have a distressing tendency to take no prisoners for the arena

The face in the second panel tells it all.

Page 10 around me...

Does anyone know if DFTerm has been updated for the newest version or if an alternative has been made to play together with some buddies?

Doesn't look like there will be another April 1st update.

Got Toady on the hotline now. He says the next update should be up in about two hours.

How rough do you think sex between 2 dorfs is

I think the real question is how rough is lesbian sex between a dwarf and and elf?

i don't care what the great old one says, being in love with an elf DOES NOT MAKE ME GAY

This game seems fun. is it worth learning if I don't have autism?

Yes.

No.

2GB of autism is the minimum system requirement for DF, but you'll want at least 8GB to fully utilize all it's features. If you plan to use minecarts, siege engines, or the ceramics industry you definitely won't be able to get away with the minimum. Someone here claimed to have made a fully functioning pump stack with only 2GB once, but I think was a troll.

Maybe.

They weren't lying, they just cut corners in other places that you couldn't normally get away with. IIRC they used a public dormitory, just plump helmets, invaders off so no military, and built the rest of the fort in the soil layer. More a stunt than anything else.

Despite its reputation, DF is actually a 100% neurotypical game.

We bully autists in this general.

Dude, all games are autistic.

I don't have autism, but I'm a rare breed nowadays ;DDDDDDD

Using Finnish memes is a sign of autism desu

yes

bump maybe? lol

>make fort
>train military
>2 years training, barely competent militia

>make new fort
>repeat
>bunch of axe lords

Why? I didn't do anything different

Some dwarves with high initial discipline stat or one of the migrants was a skilled teacher.

Kinda sucks, first fort I had a 50+ siege, then 100+ siege and it was a challenge.
Seecond fort it was like 10 goblins getting slaughtered

I'm australian, not finnish, and i'm not autistic, just drunk.

that said: perkeleeeeee :DDDD

>australian
that's even worse.

...

>the zombies from the local tower brought elven mercenaries with them
>the elves from the local goblin pit brought undead revenants with them
These guys showed up in the same wave. Am I being april fooled?

Wheres the giant wombats?

The curse strikes again.

Are natural soil tiles magma safe? Or will this clay wall evaporate if I try to make a channel of magma through it

All natural walls are everything-safe.

Only ice walls are influenced by temperature.

what are you then, i'm sure i'll find some stereotype with which to mock your land of origin.

>i'll find some stereotype with which to mock your land of origin
I'm sure you will. My nationality is already the most bullied one on the site.

LOL SWEDES :DDDDD

At least my (material) standard of living is higher than yours will ever be.

It's ok swedebro, I won't resort to the cheap BLACKED memes that have been thrown around incessantly. Besides, it's not in keeping with the spirit of /dfg/.

Do you know many swedes who play df? I've only met like two other people who play it in ausland, and maybe four in total who knew of it when mentioned.

Great, I can't unsee this now

When I just started playing it back in high school (2010), one of my teachers who saw it said that he recognised it.

He didn't actively play it though, and to be honest, he might just have confused it with some other game that used CP437.

No friends play it, though.

Is there a well design that use water pressure to refill and don't depends on floodgate?

Just designed a well that uses water pressure to refill. It doesn't even depend on a floodgate.

Don't ask for schematics though, because I'll never give it to you.

There are piping designs that depressurise water.

When will elfs be relevant for anything

poor craftsmanship
use inferior wood for everything
worship said wood
probably into bestiality
useless in combat and only good at running
easily offended and no sense of humor

They are literally the worst race

Damn dood, you're an oldfag. I only picked up dwarf fortress at the end of 2015, although I had known of it since my cousin had shown it to me many years ago.

I've tried shilling it to some of my friends, but to no avail. It appears I'm the only one in my circle of friends who has the willpower strong enough to brave the dangers of playing without grafix xD.

Hows the north at the moment anyway?

they sell giant beasts and exotic fruits.

Did you just describe a liberal?

dunno.

I live in western Gothenburg, and we've had a really shitty spring so far. fog almost every day. sometimes even a week passes by where you don't see the sun once.

then, fog can be pretty comfy too.

If you forbid all the wood logs on site, they will bring about 60 of those. Can be used for windmills and axles.

>No boats

>no wild adventure of captain plumberbeard and his gang of hardened sailors in the great underground lake

Toady needs to get on a cruise and get some "inspiration"

>well I'm in jail but by armok these chains are FABULOUS

He would have to change how fluid works, at least make rivers deeper and a few other things. Might even see the return of the cave river and floods.

I would welcome that and giant cave squids

>always too overwhelmed to play
>menus are confusing as fuck to me
>figure you the build menu
>instantly 20x easier

i wish i would of known this sooner, if youre too confused to play, just figure out the build menu shortcuts and use q for most anything else, it'll be a breeze learning the rest of the things from there

apparently spelling is still new though

Though will he do it before the economy?

No economy for you

only magic now

>Buzzards
>Flying around the entrance
So on top of annoying crundles there's buzzards flying around top.

>One way portals is up in the first magic release
>Elfs get more annoying magic
>2 years at most
Still want two way portals so we can get to follow around our squads off map.

Though looking over it, magic doesn't seem like it would take as long as the next one. He has plenty of freedom when it comes to magic but laws made by dwarfs oh dear Armok save us from the tyrants that will be nobles.

Especially that Max guy, what a fucking tard.

Max might be strange but lets face it __meph__... lets not talk about him

Dunno what mastershit guy has to do with me, and there's no might about me being strange.

Who are you?

I'm not sure, but I'm definitely not paul noble.

>paul noble

Who?

The black guy

Max is black?

Oh, he's a friend of Kit Duncan, right?

Yeah, they both starred in Jaws 3, he was assistant Dolly Grip
