/dfg/ - Dwarf Fortress General

There's no such thing as a good community.

Careful with that edge, you might cut yourself.

>not being a contrarian whenever you fuck something up as a completely anonymous poster
It's almost like you're some kind of elf!

Name one thing that isn't ruined/brought down by it's fanbase.

>Toady has pure fanbase
>SEWAGE AND SEX AND RAPE WHEN

>because 100% of DF's fanbase wants sewage sex rape shit piss fuck and cock

Not THAT kind of pure

yes that is correct

That means I want to sex and rape you too.
I'll make you take my entire +silver war hammer+ up the lower front perineum.

I just want a combat overhaul with procedural, real life, and custom combat maneuvers.

>not just practicing kisat dur

>never been to bay12 forums

Might as well just dfhack exterminate your enemies.

the problem is that it seems to be dominated by people who don't play the game.

>implying anyone in /dfg/ ever plays DF

joking aside, they certainly did up to a few months ago. I think we're still suffering the effects of the last tourney, which attracted dozens of newcomers who didn't play the game but just wanted to enjoy the "DF culture".

I don't see you posting any DF either, faggot.

>why does nobody play DF
>I post about my masterwork game
>REEEEE MASTERWORK OUT
>wtf where are all the dwarf fort posts

masterwork posts should stay in the masterwork general duh

What, should I go run a fort now and post a play-by-play here or something?
Because fuck that, I don't wanna get shit on.

Yes do it please.

This shit really is dead, isn't it?

Well yeah duh

It's just you and me, degenerate.

>all those fabulous bearded bitches
I guess it is still better to live in a time when shaving is something for women to do with their legs, pits, and crotches rather than something silly which boys do before they become men.

How dare you call me a degenerate

When will /dfg/ die?

It already is

tfw can't fucking make my dwarves defend a burrow

Just pretend you're not dumb and use station orders.

Wiki says there are separate orders for every alert but in my game all the alerts share one order list.
And even when I assign them to defend burrow they just drink in the tavern.

I'm tired of making planned out autism forts, so this time, I'm going for something completely organic an undplanned. What I have is basically one giant open air quarry, surrounded by a network of automined veins. Whenever I need more rooms, I just sqeeze some into the automined veins.

I'm also digging the main quarry deeper and deeper, and I intend to have it go through at least one cavern.

I want to feel those fat moth tiddies

I think you're misunderstanding what is meant by what the wiki says. You know how when you put your squads on duty initially (s t) it goes from "no orders" to "training/active"? You've just moved between two different alerts, one which puts all your dwarves in that squad off duty and one which has (by default) "Train 10". You can create as many different alerts as you like to cycle between, and each can have their own set of orders or even unique orders for every month, just like the default training/active alert.

I am using [m]ilitary screen to set orders, I've made several different alerts, including civilians hiding in burrow and another alert which assigns squad to a defensive burrow, complete with orders to defend burrow every month of the year. However the defend burrow order seems to apply to every single alert for some reason, yet they still just drink in the tavern.

How do you automine veins?

d-d-a

if you designate the visible part of a gem or ore cluster after that, your dorfs will mine out everything they find behind it automatically.

My, would you look at this. We've got a murder mystery.

Press a when designating digging, it'll pick the mode.

Hey cool guys, thanks

Now my dwarves won't mine. Sit idling with no jobs. Why?

My entire fortress is on strike. What gives?

We've just been through a siege, but still.

>green activities
they don't have anything to do.

I'm pretty sure they have workshops to work and mines to mine and farms farms to farm.

Japanese demons.

Don't you just hate it when goblins come and smear your walls with their guts?

>Dig a well shaft into cavern water source
>Mess up stairs so there's no direct path
>Miners take detours through caverns now
>Designated stairs to make path more straight
>The same dwarf goes up and down the cavern because he wants to dig from both ends
Fucking hell dwarves.

burrows

Are you sure that your dwarves have picks and mining labor enabled and can reach the mining designated areas and that those areas are active (brown) rather than just markers (blue)? Are you sure your farms are set for seeds of a sort that your dwarves can reach to be planted this season and that they haven't already been planted and that your dwarves have farming(fields) labor enabled? Are you sure that your workshops have jobs queued up in them and that your dwarves have the appropriate labors enabled for those jobs and can reach those workshops and the materials they'd be working with?

>>The same dwarf goes up and down the cavern because he wants to dig from both ends
Or maybe you fucked up the stairs again.

How can you people play with this unstable trash?

Tonight on Questionable Architecture Choices: Can you count all the separate segments on this level?

I have no idea. The problem seems to have resolved when the wave of migrants arrived. Perhaps some kind of timer reset? They work fine now.

And yes, I'm sure. I'm not stupid, I played this game for years. The problem abruptly started and ended.

in my experience, dfhack is more unstable now than it has been in a very long time. exactly how often it crashes seems to vary between different worlds. sometimes it crashes every few minutes, sometimes it doesn't crash at all. today, I've had one dfhack related crash. I've tried to bring it up in the general, but people here are very quick to dismiss it, possibly because they're used to defend it against "purists" or something.

the dfhack induced crashes are easy to recognise, because unlike the vanilla crashes, they won't show you the "df has stopped working" popup. instead, the whole game + dfhack will just shut down.

>tfw using an old alpha 64bit build of dfhack
>works flawlessly

Is there any way to set priority to stockpile? I want my small stockpile to fill first, then fill the large one.

That should give you want you're trying to do.

My soldiers turn civilian when I order them to defend burrow. Help.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Should've prepared better.

Don't remember goblins being this fierce though.

How do you do it?

I make a burrow at the front of my gate, make new alert, assign the burrow and the squad to the alert, and give them defend burrow order for every month of the year. The moment I change from the training/active alert to Defend burrow alert they just turn civilian and fuck off.

Did you set the number of dwarves on the list? I remember it's not intuitive.

Yes I marked them all.
Tried both 10 minimum and 1 minimum and neither works.

Don't assign the burrow to the alert.

>make GateBurrow
>make GateAlert
>set up GateAlert schedules to defend GateBurrow
>assign squads to GateAlert
When their turn on the GateAlert schedule comes up to defend GateBurrow they'll go do that.

What is the current aftermath of losing a site to siege? Goblins just stand around?

it used to be that way before world activation. now they just leave and go back to their business.

demons, on the other hand, will disperse into the wilderness and occasionally attack travellers.

Didn't help they are still civilian
This is so annoying.

Just set them to train there. It's easier this way.

Deliver us

Japanese kobolds.

Is this really necessary?

It is vital.
