I thought I was more powerful than I was. It turns out that in DF even gods can be killed if there are enough enemies.
Xavier Smith
Just like real life.

Jeremiah Martinez
What artefacts do you like to get most?
Charles Collins
Adamantine hammers and maces.
Grayson Foster
lead swords
Dominic Roberts
Any furniture for the dining room.
Alexander James
hows stability of 44.02?
havent played in a long time (i think since df2014 or maybe 16). i used to autism out with therapist but from memory it was becoming fairly unmaintained so i think i'll make peace with letting my dwarves do whatever jobs they come with this playthrough
Isaac Robinson
platinum armor
Easton Price
>this is a masterwork cavy boar cheese, it menaces with spikes of elk cheese, it is covered in bands of cat cheese
Benjamin Adams
Can you actually milk cats in DF? I've never tried.
Jayden Turner
I like stuff made of bone so I can make my fort spooky, I like giving my dwarves bone beds to sleep on
Michael Gray
How are my duchess her quarters?
Gabriel Morris
Haha I like that
Nolan White
>1 tile thick walls
Ethan Hill
nice huge rectangles
Juan Morales
Thanks I have a fetish for squares.
Brandon Peterson
What's wrong with that?
Camden King
Nothing, if you have Down's Syndrome.
Jaxson Turner
>1 tile thick walls the value of the smooth wall or engravings on it only applies on the side the engraver stood on when he made it.
>rectangles purely an aesthetic issue. if you think it looks good, go for it, but don't get surprised when other players think it looks ugly.
Jordan Johnson
/dfg/ is inhabited by the autists of the DF community. So they're even compared to the average DF player incredibly autistic. Whenever someone criticises the aesthetic of effectiveness of your fort it's ome of those given that you didn't totally botch it.
John Johnson
Ah okay I don't engrave walls anyways since you can't erase non-masterworks. Yeah rectangles don't look so good but they're easy...
Josiah Williams
lol okay
Nathan Long
trannyposter fuck off
Oliver Morales
Stop bringing trannies into every fucking thing, I get enough of that in real life, I don't need to in my comfy drunk midget fighting ring simulator
Aaron Gomez
so someone in the last thread told me that you can asign other intelligent races as pets in this new version, and that you can milk them and shit, if both races' biomes coincide, at least
How does the game understand this? are they slaves? can they be/become citizens of your civ
help please, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this
really? are you american or something, because here in spain it is barely talked for now
Brayden Ortiz
>really? are you american or something, because here in spain it is barely talked for now This is not general-relevant discussion. There's no need to indulge this subject further.
Thomas Campbell
Im sorry, not-even-a-janitor-police agent, I was just genuinely curious about my fellow user poster affairs I'll try not to derive from allowed-to-talk subjects in the future
Andrew Cruz
>There's no need to indulge this subject further.
I agree to your request
Now why the hell do lashes go through steel armor like butter and is there some sort of lash defense I can have my army wear? Because one human lasher just ripped through my small but heavily armed squad like butter
Should I just say fuck it and mix in crossbows so I don't have to deal with them?
Aiden Ross
Good. You do that.
Owen Powell
install mods that fix the broken combat
Jace Stewart
Any recommendations? I could just start trying stuff but if there's a general consensus that a certain mod is the least busted I'd rather start with that
Ryan Lopez
I like the the historical whatever one. It changes the weapons and armor.
Lucas Morgan
Are you sure Ond
Are you sure
Jackson Jones
You can edit whips yourself easily enough, they're in item_weapon in raw/objects. Whips are the very first entry.
The reason they're so fucking OP is because they have size 1 contact area+5000 fucking velocity. I genuinely don't know what Toady was thinking.
Adding in a larger contact area and less velocity would make them a lot more reasonable. Inversely, mauls have a similar issue which is what makes them suck - too high contact area (100 I think)+too low velocity to compensate (2000, same as other non-whip blunt weapons).
Leo Morris
Typical argument on the Veeky Forums
Ayden Reyes
>dark pits >Dark fortress But also >Dark goblin pits >Dark goblin fortress
Why?
Austin Stewart
If the race name isn't in there, it means the site is abandoned/ruined.
Christian King
I also dark human fortresses. What's that about?
Samuel Garcia
Humies took over the fortress.
Levi Sanchez
single donkey leather socks with spikes of birch
Liam Rogers
can somebody tell me how do I set this shit up so he just keeps 50 barrels made? with current settings I'm reaching 200 barrels and the carpenter doesn't seem to stop
Evan Kelly
nevermind figured it out myself
Brayden Brooks
what was the solution?
Camden Green
I've had the actual job set to produce infinite amounts of barrels and shit setting it to produce 5, and then check daily if there's less than 50 barrels fixed the problem
Camden Hughes
thanks
Elijah Roberts
Would you rather fight a giant karp or play hide and seek with a blind cave oger?
Christian Butler
what font is that?
Jonathan Long
One from Wanderlust
James Davis
>Titan composed of snow in the form of a blob
>Tropical Savannah suffering under a drought and heat.
This is such a disappointment,, and its my first titan for my first cave fort too.
Henry Morris
Play hide and seek with a blind cave ogre.
Bentley Price
He was just trying to be nice and cool your dwarves off a little.
Henry Miller
He got beaten to a pulp by the local child gang hanging around my gate,doing mischief .
Blake Scott
Climb up and skyhammer the zombies.
William Young
I hope those children will honor his noble sacrifice by having a snowball fight until his body melts.
Elijah Baker
Does decreasing temperature stop existing fire? I wanna make interaction that causes dorf to emit really fucking cold liquid to stop fires.
Benjamin Wilson
You want dwarves to sweat liquid nitrogen?
Ayden Foster
>Not assigning two trained gaurdsdwarves with pikes at the entrance.
Jason Cook
>Toss Dwarf into Ocean
>Lord Gobbo the third can now cross the Menacing Ocean with his army to conquer the last free Dwarven City
great idea Einstone
Bentley Myers
what do these roots symbols next to the equipments mean? that he is equiped with that?
Juan Smith
Yes. Think of it as a checkmark.
Robert Rogers
I was fucking around in the entities defines and generating small worlds to see the changes, and got this nightmare. Positives: no elves. Negatives: Dwarves are all but extinct with only 7 survivors, of the three surviving human nations, the largest is actually ruled by goblins, and the second largest is ruled by a vampire.
So when I "accidentally" dropped a dwarf into this pit they just slipped right out!
How do I build walls that arent pillars and actually seal the place off
Liam Watson
>releasing over the holiday jammed me up a bit, and there's a talk in Montreal coming up, so the ball will be a little slow to start rolling If he's implying that he has social things to do during the holidays then Toady's much less autistic than I thought Also what is the talk about? Anything interesting?
Dylan Diaz
Best artifact I've ever gotten was an adamantine battle axe. The dwarves know it's awesome too, because half of the artifacts created since then have an image of it on them.
Evan Baker
Not quite, it means the dwarf recognizes the item exists. If the uniform isn't set to replace clothing, it's possible they have checkmarked gauntlets but are actually not wearing them because they're already wearing gloves.
Kayden Russell
Yeah always go for "replace clothing" if you don't want your army having their hands chopped off because they were wearing silk gloves instead of their steel gauntlets
Cooper Myers
And then it was abandoned? Are we sure that's the reason for the "dark"in the name?
Asher Phillips
"dark fortress" is a goblin-style fortress "fortress" is a dwarf-style fortress
Jason Brown
It's possible for humans or even dwarves to take control of dark fortresses, after killing the goblins (and demon) that once controlled it.
Jaxson Hall
What do goblins make their fortresses out of? How are they structured?
William Thomas
Trenches, small towers, and one giant tower made of slade that might have a demon in it.
Leo Sanders
Many are the perils of hamlet life.
But here, its mostly pack hunting therapods. Lost a good five men in battle against them, but migrants have made up for the losses. I'd build a wall but it'd get in the way of expansion.
Anthony Morgan
Literally just >Made from x, with bands of y & x I never get cool images or massively detailed ones
Oliver Foster
>Just looked at the job manager screen for the first time properly Well it's been a while since this game has overwhelmed me
Ryder Gomez
the pillars work exactly the same way as walls. if we assumed the entire area had a roof, it'd be airtight.
the dorf probably climbed out. I can't tell more than that unless you show exactly where the hole is and how deep the drop is.
Brody Adams
how do i raid with squads anyway
David Collins
So there was a werepanda outbreak.
Logan Butler
>huge rectangle rooms >4x4 stairs >2x2 bedrooms in fucking sand >unnecessarily big farms >more stillls than you'll ever use at a time, yet not a single kitchen or farmer's workshop is this bait?
Jaxon Clark
>huge rectangle rooms >4x4 stairs I am inexperienced at fortress mode and just doing whatever works
>2x2 bedrooms in fucking sand That's basically the poor house, the main village is aboveground, see pic. Everything belowground is meant to be a warehouse or for storing overpopulation.
>unnecessarily big farms >more stillls than you'll ever use at a time, yet not a single kitchen or farmer's workshop This species only needs to drink so I've decided to make a brewery that imports the excess.
Benjamin Davis
*exports the excess
Jason Cooper
How come my dwarfs wont put on their damn boots or gaunlets.
Do I need to make it so they replace clothing?
Kevin Nguyen
>the main village is aboveground, What the hell kind of dwarf are you?
Tyler Rodriguez
They're a race of primitive, violent barbarians, not dorfs, so I thought it was appropriate. Building fancy underground metropolises is for clever types, which they are not.
Jack Johnson
Yep that will do it.
Zachary Bennett
Oh. Carry on then.
Grayson Gray
>haven't played for a few days >load up fort >dwarven merchants are at the depot >assume I saved after trading with them and dismiss the broker >they leave a few weeks later >t over the deport >all my spiked wooden balls and totems are still there >never traded
Liam Stewart
pretty sure i'm about to get receive an artifact adamantine crutch. great stuff. or can dwarves produce something outside of their likes too?
Liam Mitchell
what a delightful subversion of expectations
Jaxson Barnes
>meanwhile, the crippled vet is still limping around on 0 legs into the lava with the hammer and the creator
Landon Phillips
and it literally menaces with spikes of rough prase and tetrahedrite. it's funny when i think back how mildly disappointed i was when i found out he liked crutches. but i guess it could've been a bow or quern too.
