/dfg/ - Dwarf Fortress General

Does anyone else make great halls multiple z-levels? Like a big, tall room?

Yeah, I don't see why anybody wouldn't.

why do this to yourself
Why not at least use squared ascii instead of default stretched ascii for graphics?
>inb4 text looks weird
that's why you can use a separate font for text and another one for graphics

What does it have to do with your intelligence whether you like squares actually looking like squares?

>default color scheme
default tileset is patrician but you must be on crack to enjoy staring at the default color scheme for longer than 5 minutes.

first meal prepped by hermit dorf, and it actually looks pretty tasty. usually i just see Plump helmet roast with plump helmet x 3, or tallow x 3 roasts. this one has some nice variety of food groups.

I'm mostly just memeing about the intelligence stuff, but I started with vanilla dwarf fortress, and I'm just used to it now. I've tried different colour schemes at least, but nothing else has really pleased me as much. I also sleep easier knowing I'm playing dorf bortress exactly as toady envisioned it, pure and holy. except for the mods hehe

Sometimes. Two-level rooms are pretty common in my forts, since you can dig that with a single ramp designation.

WHEN

ascii turns me on so good

Hi I'm new. Do dwarves require light sources while underground? I was thinking of putting up some torches to lighten up my halls but I don't know if that's possible or necessary

I did read something in the wiki about dwarves who spent like a year without seeing the sun getting massive debuffs when they finally go above ground again (for combat for example), but didn't find anything else.

Dwarves see perfectly underground on their own - torches aren't a thing either.

But then how do humans/elves see a thing when they visit me?

Dwarves don't need light because faith in Armok is all they need.
When dwarves don't see the sun for a while in a long time, they start puking their guts out once on the surface, this will turn your fully equipped squad into vomiting turtles.

They're not completely blind underground - they see a few tiles on all sides of them. Game doesn't take that into account for pathing either I don't think.

I can't imagine it's very fun to get drunk at a pitch-black tavern as a human with dwarves dancing all around you

Atleast they're not as likely to buttrape you as bogeymen are.

I hope you will train your hermit big and strong until he can demand tribute from the elves.

Is there an easy way to start a fire in fortress mode?

I want to burn up a bunch of trash, but don't want to dig all the way to magma.

Also I'd like to burn goblins to death.

You'd have to mod it in.

based and also true

Keep Best Ratio posting on /4xg/ where it belongs please.

Oh, that was my fault, I attribute the main force translation balancing to the weapon/armor mod concepts, and it was Grimlocke along with Stal who did the actual work there originally.

Why do we need to be reminded of this?

World user again

The user who wanted Michigan, I may have to cut it, its a lot of work personally and id rather not sit in photoshop any longer guess working to make the mountains appear how i want them too, sorry.

but for anyone else, send me some suggestions, it seems like doing anything based off an existing landscape, fictional or not, is a lot of work and im not THAT autistic. So keep it to just game generated worlds and the multitude of settings possible. If you have any requests, send them.

Woah I found him. That was way easier than I expected.
Now what should I do with him?

Accuse them of being a night creature

Waterworld type thing: enough land for multiple civs, but connected with as little land as possible, so maybe like sub-1 tile wide land bridges and stuff. Tbh, I just want a cool seaside resort fortress, with the feel of an island, but access to other civs and stuff.

waterworld style thing i may be able to do, specific land bridges? maybe, I will have to see what I can do, give me 5 minutes. any preferences on savagery/evil/beasts etc?

>Fetidcontained
That's a damn shitty name.

oh and temperature too

>you should do X
>you should do Y
Why? Does it enhance gameplay in any way? Does it give me more FPS? Does it somehow fix those bugs that annoy me?
No?
Then it's secondary priority. Leave me alone, I've got some playing to do.

Warm, fairly dangerous sounds nice.

do you care about having tropical jungles?

for DF to generate tropical jungles it requires a north/south pole which is annoying as that takes up a large chunk of the map. if you dont care about tropical jungles then the whole map can be warm and above.

Nah, I don't care about jungles much.

okay so, only one real "problem" as i see it

almost always the game will pick one of the oceans as evil and/or good, this is something i havn't figure out how to stop, if anyone knows of a way this would be great. if youre alright with that I can share it.

bottom areas of them map are hot and scorching while the rest are warm

actually ive fixed the ocean issue

Can you get me a medium-sized world that's mostly tundra and lone mountains with a few oases comprising the various other biomes scattered around the world? Something like pic related but less clumped-together mountains and bigger.

Attached: Dwarf+Fortress_2018-03-17_15-48-37.png (347x510, 94K)

i will do it very soon, just finishing waterworld.

do you want the temp to be sporadic or mostly cold/freezing all over?
do you want it to be savage, safe or neutral?
do you want a lot of evil or good?

Attached: olololo.png (999x1666, 372K)

That looks incredible, thanks user!

here user
pastebin.com/qaceg5ZZ

Mostly cold and freezing with a few warm spots for other biomes to crop up. The rest can be random I don't mind one way or the other.

He looks like a nice gentleman

Seriously?
You can't force it any other way?

How?
I'm interested. I often get evil/good oceans too. What a waste.

No worries, do you happen to still have the map anyway? I'd like to play it

will work on this very soon, give me 10 minutes and ill have a basic result.

i dont think so? its something to do with it making them as far away as possible from the poles, if you dont have them, doesnt make them.

i lowered the squares in Large Regions to 0 (unsure if lower numbers will do the trick too), medium should be okay? just fiddle with them, values in small and medium still gave me evil areas on land but not evil oceans.

i dont have it im afraid, sorry user

okay so let me know what you think, give me feedback, more mountains? more tundra? more glacier?

Viper is a legend

i want disease and medical overhaul. Cold biomes mean dwarves get flu/fevers, evil biomes can spread virus's and infections across the world, some may come in migrants and cause an outbreak at your fort, meaning your alchemist has to brew a potion (or even someone use magic to heal??)

could even have fungal infections or parasites for some weird ass creatures and fun

More tundra would be ideal. I want the other biomes to be like oases surrounded by ice and snow. If you could just reverse the ratio of tundra/glaciers:other biomes that would be good.

Speaking of medical overhaul, it'd be nice to be able to mandate specific surgeries, like attaching prosthesis, blinding, amputation, and so on. Imagine the possibilities!

I'd be really hyped for prosthetics, particularly if you can mod them as well to serve various functions.

rip in piece his old youtube channel, shit was absolutely bonkers towards the end.

To this day I have no idea what was going on in that town.

Is being a strict wandering poet/minstrel character possible? Is it any fun?

for sure, you can learn and create poems, dances and songs and go to random taverns and just start sperging out, now if you find that fun then thats fun.

Yes, and yes if you're into that sort of thing. I've played as peasant characters before, and it can be fun if you enjoy exploring a world where literally everything can kill you. You need to play smart to catch food, and know to pick your fights. It can get boring, but usually my guys die ages before I get tired of roving around.

I can only presume the angel was completely dumbfounded by that completely undignified death.

Read closer, the medical improvements are listed under Adventure military improvements
