First I want you to know exactly where I stand on crossbows. I'm in favor of a fortresswide ban on hunting and crossbows for civilians. The bookkeeper's fortress death statistics from 264 have shown that violent deaths by wildlife decreased by 60% plus over the last 3 years, in which we eliminated our dependence on hunting. I also want to require stockpiles to run mood checks on everyone that picks up a crossbow. And I want Mayor McObama to increase fortress funding for strange mood treatment for all dwarves who need it. I think these are perfectly reasonable steps to help this fortress begin to stop the tide of crossbow-related deaths, but not everybody agrees. In fact several crossbow advocates made some engravings in the meeting hall no less to have me atomsmashed for my views. Here's what happens when I sit down with one of the dwarves behind the engravings, Alex Jones.
The crossbows, Piers, didn't do it. The hunters stupidity did it. McHitler took the crossbows. McStalin took the crossbows. McMao took the crossbows. Urist Castro took the crossbows. Urist Chavez took the guns, and I'm here to tell you, 076 will commence again if you try to take our firearms. It doesn't matter how many elf-lovers you get out there on the hallways begging for them to have their crossbows taken. We will not relinquish them. Do you understand?

you forgot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You're set to gather refuse from outside, right? As a workaround, you could try dumping the corpses. That works for me, although I generally drop them into magma rather than a stockpile.
Adrian Allen
better build a danger room
Evan Moore
new update when?
John Allen
40 days
Nathaniel Evans

Tyler Young

Well this is a fun bit of emergent storytelling. I and my companion were being chased across the forest by this horrible monster thing (the big white S) and it looked like he was gonna catch up. I definitely couldn't outrun him forever. Luckily, I had two things in my favor: 1. I don't need to outrun the monster 2. My character is a total scumbag
So I just stabbed my companion in the foot. He'll serve as a distraction while I make my escape.
Anthony Roberts
If this man doesn't add a solid economy back to the game soon I'll track him down and shave his eyebrows.

Grayson Wilson
Let's talk about the main problem that our fortress faces: Immigration. Our Civ enforces an open border immigration policy on the fortress. They promised us skilled workers. What do we get? Peasants, bee keepers, fisherdwarves... and sometimes even vampires. They are not sending us their best people, folks. But sure: Come right in. We are stupid. We'll take anyone. Currently cheese makers make up 7% of our population. If the current trends continue cheese makers will be a majority in 254... That also means they will have a majority of the vote in 254. This means a cheese maker major. And what do we do then? He will mandate the production of cheese, furthering the position of him and his ilk. He will also ban the export of any non-cheese related food products. How many will lose their jobs if we can't sell food anymore? Fortrexit now!

behold the statue hall of history. i put statues in a row based on what year it is the statue depicts. you can [t] over them and get a nice little mini legends mode. also if it is anything like the other statue halls, it will make a nice spider web farm.

Post interesting fort designs. I need ideas.

Just build a fort with the rooms you need in a place they fit. Stop being an autist about it.

Shit...I tried to make a well in my fortress so that my dwarfs no longer needed to climb to the surface so i channeled a path from the river into a pocket underneath the well. I didn't take into account water pressure. Am I fucked?
Isaiah Hall
should've made a floodgate You can drain it but it'll take a while.
Isaac Howard
>Am I fucked? Looks that way. Ride it out, survive as long as you can.
Bentley Cooper
Welp, Not only do I have this flood to deal with, goblins are on my ass now. If I make it out of this, ill be shocked.,
Robert Carter
you can make a drain on the edge of the map by carving fortifications on edge tiles, or drain it into a cavern. hope your miners/pickaxes are safe though cause otherwise you're fucked
Ethan Ortiz
good job popping your cherry, there, son
Jeremiah Rivera
I've made a huge mistake...
Oliver Morales
Looks fine to me.
Easton Gray
What's with the giant central chamber?
Charles Lee
The better to flood their fort with, my dear.
Isaiah Nguyen
Glorious.
Anthony Gonzalez
You could use notes.
Aiden Miller
So given the fact that the update is never coming out I should just give up and make a new fort right?
Benjamin Thomas
>Not turning depth on Yeah, really awful stuff.
Charles Rogers
Evacuate dwarves to the surface, you moron. You started the fort with only seven dwarves, ten anvils and 200 bars of steel. You can rebuild it. In time, you can maybe drain your old fortress, but digging the drainage tunnels will take time, and you need to ensure your dwarves aren't drowning in the meantime.
Grayson Perez
So did tourneyanon make his comeback or is he confirmed ded
Levi Lopez

Christian Miller
It hasn't been that long since magmawiki changed names, has it?
Oliver Thomas
When do you think the new DF update will actually be released?
I haven't played this game in awhile and I guess I'm retarded to boot because I do not know what it wants from me.
I want to simply build a stair up a single level and dig there. Building an up stair is not giving dwarves access to the tile above it, so I can't make a down stair to connect them.
I see no difference in what I'm doing if I dig down without using U/D stairs, so I don't get it.

John Russell
You need to designate a downstair on Z+1
Brandon Hernandez
Yes. I am aware. Building an Up stair is not giving miners access to Z+1. The floor above is empty and is solid stone.
I don't really get it
Isaiah Harris
They dont need access, they will dig from below if you designate the downstair on top of the upstair
Owen Ortiz
it's not rocket science. if you want the up stair to give you access to the floor above, you must also build a down stair on that floor, which connects to the upstair.
Joseph Brown
each z level also has a "floor" layer. stairs only dig to the floor layer and you need to put another one ontop or below to actually connect them through.
Parker Turner
who hyped for fotf
Ryan Stewart
>Building an Up stair is not giving miners access to Z+1. Are you sure? It should. An up-stair lets dwarves dig or construct a down-stair directly above it. Either you fucked something up, or your dwarves are broken.

It may be because Im quite horny/bored, but do you think there exists some dev that makes porn games with the autism of DF? A dark-Toady, if you will?
We often joke about toady coding cringy step-by-step sexual simulations, or stuff like that, but has anyone even combined pure autism and porn before? >I don't think so.But if it exists, I wanna see

I dont know what this is, but reddit (only source) is giving me that deep web vibe about a secret club for degenerates that pay money for sick roleplaying not that there's nothing inherently bad 'bout that desu
Look previous answer, I wanna know something That makes me feel like playing DF, and violated heroine, the two best representations of each genre
Julian Wilson
yes...Yes...YES
I don't know what to say
