if salt water goes through a well will it be safe to drink?

Is there no way to have it do that automatically? I'd like to not have to periodically d-b-d.

It should be possible with minecart networks. Basically set up an automated QSP but with ravine instead of stockpile.

Nah, I tried and it didn't work. Gotta pump it.

Try o-r and set to dump corpses, no idea if it will save your citizens bodies tho

Just ask a lord.

You know nothing, user Snow.

Yes

The tower's name is probably foldedsubmerges

Wow, why didn't I start using macros before? I am so stupid

>tfw to ingelitent too use macros

>tfw not ingelitent enough too speel

I've gotten two black bears, two giant dingoes, and a giant cougar from the elves. All of them are female.

Are the elves throwing weird orgies or what?

They are playing the long game by sending infected females into your settlement.

Ah shit, that should be 1-5 for "military."

What is his name, /dfg/?

Is toppled by troll the default message or something? This fort is less than a month old and the only creatures on the list are turkeys and naked mole dogs. Is it some sort of stealth troll that I should be worried about?

Couple raw-related questions:
1) Is there a way to disable climbing on dwarves? It just causes problems, between retards getting stuck in trees and retard marksdwarves jumping off walls.

2) Is there a way to get the elves to send a guild rep as well? Kinda odd I can't tell their merchants what I'd like to buy.

wild trolls live in the caverns. It's possible one knocked down that workshop, then wandered off into an unexplored section of the cavern. He won't show up in the units list if he's in an unexplored area.

does sneaking effect combat

So I could effectively make a fence out of statues?

>1)
Remove their hands from the raws

Then they can't do anything. This is not a satisfactory solution.

>design a city with 7 massive towers
>have no idea how to divide the interior of the towers or what to put in all these z-levels
Help

Easiest solution : cut all the trees

They can get knocked down by troll (that come along with goblin sieges) and any other building destroyers, so it won't be very effective.

Very few jobs actually require hands.

And you don't actually need a tongue to speak.

On of my dorfs just made a beak dog bone cage. How terrifying is it?

Movement speed and reactions yes.

Get a beak dog in it.

bkk

big kobold kok

you know it

wew

oWo what's this?

0-4 keep playing adventure """"""""mode""""""""
5-9 start an actual dwarf fort in masterwork instead of a human city

is it truly possible for one man to have such shit taste?

Appaling post.

KOBOLDS ARE NOT FOR FUG
FUCKING LIZARD THIEVES REEEEEE

I guess God wills it.

Perhaps try changing up your roleplaying style. Or roleplay to begin with, if you don't already.

ranged is worthless in adv mode anyway. everytime you fire a shot, there's a long as fuck cool down afterwards during which you can't even move.

I guess it's supposed to be the reload time, but it would make more sense if you could choose when to do it.

It's better to simply use throwing and just carry around a bow so you can pretend.

>siege shows up
>"The dead walk blah blah blah"
>siege is 15 living goblins and 1 undead human
Can someone explain this? I didn't know the living and dead could work together.

trussing edition

I have a guess. When a creature becomes a necromancer there's a period where the game hasn't quite figured out where they ought to be or what they ought to be doing. In adv mode you see this with necros living in their old sites peacefully, or more rarely leading armies to attack their old civ's enemies. This is probably a similar situation, where a necromancer siege would happen and the game puts the army together out of the necromancer's former subordinates. Alternatively, it could be that bandits aren't ever properly removed from the list of a necromancer's relationships when a bandit becomes a necro, and they get pulled along when the army is made for the invasion. This kind of event began happening in .40, when both world activation and bandits were introduced.
I'm only making an educated guess, I haven't researched the subject. I do know that the "they're necromancer apprentices" theory has been mostly disproved.

oh fuck does that mean one of the gobs is a necro?

I have 3 dead giant sponges on my map.

oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck

Where is the sexy concubine/sexslave muscular femboy kobold mod when you need it

the age old question of dfg

Just learn to mod already you dirty cockgoblin.

The necromancer is probably stealthed, the gobs are probably just normal gobs.

They're just sitting confused at the edge of the map.

I have no weapon-grade metals, so I can't go after them.

>don't mind textiles industry
>really mind never getting dyes other than dimplecups
>have to imagine all the civilian dwarves wearing dark blue overalls as a uniform

Wooden ballista.

Live-training marksdwarves with wooden bolts is really effective.

The stuff that's not dyed has lots of different colors though especially wool. Check your alpacas and sheep they probably have all sorts of different colored wool. Also there's leather.

I don't want to just train, I want them to leave.

I just made it. replace your creature_standard file with this one and 10 of kobolds will be sexy muscle femboys

>not given a single source for do it at least
kys for people like you there is not even 0.5 version yet

Some one try it , and post results.

Even with wood bolts you'll eventually wound them enough that they'll call off the siege. Takes a while though.

>Wool
I don't have the fps for that.

*10%

Also lern2mod casual scrub

If I change the raws in my save will it works? I forgot to give strange moods to my humans.

>not just playing masterwork for humans

>export local image
Someone should have told me sooner.

>bloat
No thanks

Do necromancer sieges end eventually?

>having 10 workshops and 10 races which you can turn off with a single click is bloat
>turning "Llama left false rib bone left shoe" into "Llama bone left shoe" is bloat
>having 10 fucktillion different kinds of dog leather isn't bloat
ok

You don't know what the fuck you are talking about, as expected of a masterwork babby.

Don't you have a lost and found in Lebanon to visit?

Kobolds are good, they bring non-fatal conflict to the Dwarve's world consuming avarice, the goblin's insatiable thirst for conflict, and interfere in the schemes of man.

In addition, they are more than cute.

Inside you (figuratively)

So how much does /dfg/ look into the history of their world before embarking/adventuring? I personally look at the civ I'm going to play's history at least, but it's really fucking annoying having to sift through all the:

>In the late spring of 143 a footrace was held as part of the Festival of Burning. There were 8 competitors, and Libash Avuzmistem was victorious
In the late spring of 144 a footrace was held as part of the Festival of Burning. There were 8 competitors, and Libash Avuzmistem was victorious
In the late spring of 145 a footrace was held as part of the Festival of Burning. There were 8 competitors, and Libash Avuzmistem was victorious
In the late spring of 146 a footrace was held as part of the Festival of Burning. There were 8 competitors, and Libash Avuzmistem was victorious

Is he even still alive, his twitter/FB last updated in April and IDK if he's updated his website at all either.

>looking into legends before you play
>not discovering it through various ingame artforms
pretty plebeian

>tfw all the figurines your fort makes are just elves losing hands/feet to megabeasts

Making reload an active choice would fix it.

pls I have no military and I've just locked the doors in order to wait it out.

>non-fatal conflict
Maybe in your forts.

Yes.

Its non fatal if they get away

oh thank god that's a relief. Barring any unexpected fun I will probably be able to wait them out then.

>if they get away

>he doesn't leave care packages out for the kobolds to steal

Heartless. Absolutely heartless.

I'm playing a custom race with increased litter sizes. Good to know its working.

We need a "mark for trading" option. Rather than go through the trade menu you should just be able to highlight an item and send it to the depot like when you designate to melt, and maybe add a "trade hauling" labour or something.
