Advfort is part of dfhack core.

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

>tfw Alex Jones is in better shape than you

Death is all around us. It was inevitable.

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.

better build a danger room

new update when?

40 days

what, really?

it's always 40 days left

toady plz

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.

If this man doesn't add a solid economy back to the game soon I'll track him down and shave his eyebrows.

the wait just got 40 days longer

bump

>waiting for the update

I FOUGHT THE LAW

AND THE LAW PULPED MY HEAD WITH A SINGLE PUNCH

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.

>it keeps happening

...

Very cool. You forgot to mark some of the years though

Only 7 priorities available

Oh duh

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.

How boring.

A lot of name for a snowman.

The iceman cometh.

He shouldn't have.
First of my dual shield wielders to pull a title. It's a pretty ridiculous one. Asen Furnacelabor, the Amber Luxuries of Ensorceling.

>ensorcelling

Like enchanting only cooler

I once had Tobul Sweatpacked the Ambigious Blade of Lutes.

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?

should've made a floodgate
You can drain it but it'll take a while.

>Am I fucked?
Looks that way. Ride it out, survive as long as you can.

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.,

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

good job popping your cherry, there, son

I've made a huge mistake...

Looks fine to me.

What's with the giant central chamber?

The better to flood their fort with, my dear.

Glorious.

You could use notes.

So given the fact that the update is never coming out I should just give up and make a new fort right?

>Not turning depth on
Yeah, really awful stuff.

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.

So did tourneyanon make his comeback or is he confirmed ded

>ten anvils and 200 bars of steel

That poster is not me

Succession fort update when?

in 40 weeks

is this the new funny bay12 meme?

hahaha, yeah XD it's pretty funny though isn't it?

Is it possible to get a migrant who is already a werebeast?

What is it about?

>I'm doing a college assignment for a class in public speaking, and I chose Dwarf Fortress as the subject of my informative speech.
holy shit. is this the same sort of cringy amerishart who makes school presentations about "trap waifus" and "donald trump's meme war"?

It hasn't been that long since magmawiki changed names, has it?

When do you think the new DF update will actually be released?

strawpoll.me/14049855

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.

>strawpoll with meme option
Every single time

"Now they will know why they fear the night"

toady plagiarism confirmed

You need to designate a downstair on Z+1

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

They dont need access, they will dig from below if you designate the downstair on top of the upstair

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.

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.

who hyped for fotf

>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.

just had a human citizen die of old age at 85. never had that happen before.

BENIN :DDD

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

>strawpoll with meme option wins
I swear to god

Legal?

can I get the CQC log with the big boss pic?

Oh man do I have something for you

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

yes...Yes...YES

I don't know what to say

Oh yeah, I remember that. I don't think anything every came of it, right?

He actually moved to 4+Veeky Forums to avoid scrutiny and I think he's still developing stuff.
