It's obviously ornamental, you'll have to find a nice spot to build the classiest forge you can for your most pretentious smith.
Do you think DF will reach version 1.0 in our lifetime?

No.
But I'm grateful for whatever we get, and hopeful for the future regardless.

I've always felt that hordes of dogs are just a defensive measure, to buy time for your actual killing units to do the job without interference.
That's why I always try to breed hordes of something larger, just so they can do that job more effectively.

Disgusting. I only listen to dwarfen music, with the hammers working in the distance.
Or Isengard theme, it works too.
So, I've confirmed in my stocks I have charcoal and there are tetrahedrite lying 3 tiles away from my furnace
And I've got 3 dwarfs with Furnace Operation on

I've never heard Dwarf themed music rendered that well. It's usually shallow crap or directly ripped from existing Tolkien poetry.
The new music system in DF might inspire something good though.

My bad for leaving around platinum bars unattended, for some reason they prefer platinum to steel every time.
Damn, first dwarf to succumb to madness, better build a graveyard.
At least the next guy to get strange mood got his thing finished. Amethyst animal trap, encircled with bands of single cut amethysts, menacing spikes of smoky quartz, and image of forgotten beast in rosy quartz.
Too bad he was possessed, so no skill up from that.
Also, my ore situation is just woeful. Tons of tetrahedrite and gold, but I have failed to find anything outside of that. At least I get some silver hammers done.
So few layers to work with, since glaciers work weird.

Time to move out, dwarves.
How much of an impact does the strength of my dwarves have? Say, an extremely strong hammerdwarf compared to a "normal" strong dwarf.
>>137261856
But seriously, putting out a call for folks who have embarked on a volcano recently: I have encountered a variety of exposed and filled volcano tubes like the one in the picture here, but in hundreds of different sites across dozens of worlds specifically tuned to try and make this happen, I have yet to see an exposed and intact south-facing volcano tube.
This is an extreme example of a west-facing tube, based on embarkable tiles adjacent the volcano.
Anybody seen a south or even sheer east-facing tube like this?
>>137263335
substantial
Their base stats influence their cap as well I think.
>>137260657
>for some reason they prefer platinum
Their selection method goes
a) preferred material
b) closest
c) most recently created
In cases where they want a preferred material, that's the only material they'll use for that portion. Dwarves with an available preferred material don't always (or even often) want it. If they don't need a preferred material, then they just grab whatever is closest. If multiple valid items are closest, like in a smelter or trade depot or whatever, then the one at the bottom of the list (most recently created) is the one they take.
The one exception to all of this is adamantine. After you mine adamantine, every metalworker mood will demand it as the base material.
>>137263580
>>137264059
This is correct.

>>137273108

Also, that PCgamer article that got posted was some good shit, but that's because it's mostly just Tarn talking about DF.
I love to get Toady's take on things.
>>137272745
Different guy but what's usually responsible for random crashes? It feels like the game implodes 70% of the time whenever it tries to save. This is like the fourth time I've had to build a forge room.
>>137273714
In personal experience, futzing around with the game and/or window while it's chugging will kill it - on a Windows OS, that is.
While it's saving, it needs to be left alone to work. Clicking around, shaking the window, pressing keys? All that shit makes Windows freak out that commands aren't going through, then it slaps DF to try and get it to respond, and the whole thing breaks.
You may also want to see if your RAM isn't almost full when trying to save, because a lot of data has to get moved around to make a save.
>>137273714
With DFhack, TWBT, etc in use, it's ~95% one of those two.
With neither enabled, I haven't had a single crash since the tree-construction-touching bug has been fixed.
Though for crashing while saving - I have no idea. Sounds like your PC is too weak.
>>137273893
>>137273714

>>137281509
>implying you will always only play high fantasy myth setting
Anyway, I hope it will change the way people play the game a bit. Maybe people will stick to one world more consistently instead of generating a new one after each fucking fortress for some inexplainable reason.
It gives each "generated story" a lot more weight if there's more context.
One race conquering the entire world except for one outpost of another race becomes a lot more interesting if it's not just the same necromancer/goblin/demon zerg rush killing everyone eventually, but if the races have a mythological reason for their actions.

You used to be able to engrave and construct floors, so you could have coloured engravings.
Also, that was my first fortress that lasted more than a couple of years, so you'll find plenty to nitpick about it.
This is the floor below that one, you ever remember to put the underfloor heating into your forts?
>>137282501
>instead of generating a new one after each fucking fortress for some inexplainable reason.
Before world activation, I used to play many adventurers and forts in the same world.
As of the world activation, it feels like the game world becomes weirder and less stable the longer you play.
Also, the slow world gen makes it harder to generate an interesting world. In 0.34 you could just pick the standard option and the result would always be enjoyable. In 0.40 and 0.42, I feel like I have to gen several worlds before I find an interesting one. Also, most of the cities now seem to be either too small to offer any enjoyment(many cities only consist of a warehouse, a keep, a temple and a market), or too big for my computer to handle.
Did we ever get access to the video of Toady's GDC talk?
Kinda wish for goblin invasion or megabeast. I got one forgotten beast, but it is on wrong cavern layer and is made out of filth.
Also, what should I do with my adamantite first? I was thinking of making a shortsword and spear or two, then using it rest for armouring up.
Any tips on that? I think I probably sit about potential of 60 adamantite wafers.
>>137281449

>>137283903
While we're chuckling at that anon, how should I be enjoying my fully updated and operational DFHack? Prospect si handy for peeeking at sites, and clean helps with my autism. But there are dozens of other commands and I'm too new to knwo what's useful.

>>137284007
>weirder and less stable the longer you play.
Your adventurers can come and visit your fortress. That's pretty wierd...
And gets wierder when you forget he's a necromancer and raises undead in your graveyard.
someone add ", [http://boards.4chan.org/vg/dfg /vg/'s DF general]" to the main page of the wiki next to the other forums, pls.
>>137286719
Actually, I once had a former adventurer lead a goblin army that laid siege to my fort. She didn't actually kill anyone, but she managed to disarm my commander, which subsequently lead to him getting cut down by one of the goblins.
I wish there was an option to have DF dorf names show up instead of the random names on the posts.

>>137286420
The search functions in most menus is fantastic, and ought to be vanilla, and stable cursor too. They're my most beloved quality of life improvements. The clean command is great for saving fps as your fort accumulates contaminants, though it can be used to cheat too, like to save your fort from a nasty fb syndrome or whatever. Dry buckets is great for reclaiming unusable orphaned buckets of water that build up over time in forts. A lot of players love workflow for automating industries, but I prefer micromanaging. Autodump is a script that I've never used, as it feels cheaty, but am heavily considering, as there's simply no effective way to deal with pic related.
But if you don't mind cheating, there are some crazy things you can do with gm editor. I'm not well versed in that side of dfhack, but there's an anon here who is a real pro and likes to share tips. Same guy creating the curses+ tilesets that are posting here.

Yeah, gm-editor is on my shift+d hotkey since I use it all the time for shit, I modded mine so when you're in travel mode it pulls up the army position and you can use it to zoop yourself around the map with practice(+/- 75~100 x/y will put you from one hamlet/hillock to a neighboring one pretty well, but values past the edge of the map crash the game!) and there's lots of other shit you can do.
Right now I'm using it to try and figure out what the fuck just happened with this dragon.

It doesn't have a death date either, so yeah...

Well, shoot.
I guess they are good on their own, too. I should keep a stack of wafers up, in case someone gets a mood. I need to find more adamantite veins.
They do add frightening amounts to the fortress value, alongside with the metalcrafter's constant flood of masterwork rings, earrings, goblets and toys.

Have no fear, he managed to get the bite in.
I haven't played since 0.34, can I play exactly as I did before if I get back into it or do I need to learn new shit?
>>137298948
Pretty much the same as before, but your meeting area is going to want to be a tavern, so it'll need some chests with mugs in.

Eh, it's a neat concept, never read it, and the movie itself kinda dragged.
I did track down what happened kinda.
Apparently when I hit it the game showed it as being dead before it died, and somehow it just kinda forgot to do the actual linking of death/slayer/corpse stuff.
Went in and removed all the partial death links, healed it back up enough that it could survive a second, it appeared back where I thought it would, and I punched it in the brain to properly kill it this time.

That must be it.

good luck with that wooden dagger and wooden arrows champ
>Roc size: 20,000,000 cm3
>Elephant size: 5,000,000 cm3
Also protip you can divide those numbers by 1000 to get cubic decimeters i.e. liters which equal 1kg if the creature has the density of water. Therefore the Roc weighs 20,000 kilograms which is 20 metric tons.
surprised to see my brutal broker just waiving off searching for vermin as a food source to be 'relieved'
Looks like winter has truly come to specialvaults, can't wait for the war on elves to escalate

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY.
What am i getting into /dfg/?
>>137310420
fuck i forgot, Whay is the reccomended embark size? 3x3?
>>137310705
3x3 or 2x2 if you're on a toaster
>>137310705
Depends on your CPU, mine is a bit shit, and I think 3x3 is a bit much sometimes.
>>137310420
If you don't have dfhack installed, remember after you get the world made to copy it and rename it something like legendsregionwhatever so you can dig into the history and such, plus you'll have a pristine copy for later on if you want it.

Not him but really? I can't bear to have under 4x4. It's cramped as fuck.
>>137311253
What do you need it all for?
You know 1x1 fortresses are a thing and they're cozy as all fuck, right?
this fort is going so well for a tundra reclaim that was pregenerated. what is stopping me from using a giant Quantum stockpile for every single item in the fortress?
>>137311958
>what is stopping me from using a giant Quantum stockpile for every single item in the fortress?
personal integrity
>>137310705
Default is 4x4. You can go smaller, you're never actually going to use all of a 4x4, or you could go bigger if you hate fps.
>>137311958
The fact that "giant" and "quantum stockpile" are mutually exclusive.
>>137311369
Cramped. I can't deal with space restrictions.
Even then I only use a tiny amount because I can only think of one design for all fortresses and it's the most generic one possible.help me
>>137312114
:/ yeah I don't know why I'm not disassembling all the forges in the halls or using the empty halls for stockpiles either, it's that OCD I have (or integrity) for keeping everything as it is as if its pregenerated
Then again coming from me removing magma smelters to make Forges in those halls
Mayhaps I should use pic related for the recent king's master living quarters as an example of my new policy of occupying SpecialVaults
>>137312309
heh
>>137308361
>Relieved after being forced to eat vermin to survive.
That has to be a bug, you should report it.
>>137311369
You can go 2x1 or 1x2 also, they're my favorites for the horrorglaciers since I like to get volcano tubes on the edges of mountain ranges where you can't embark so you need the extra embark tile to work with.
>>137312631
eh, like the bug that smelting iron leggings into a Pregenerated magma smelter, that returns 0 bars, yet I didnt report that one?
here's a legends which is Greatest of All Time, can't wait for the mythos fantasy slider
>>137312314
>I can only think of one design for all fortresses and it's the most generic one possible.
Which is?
>>137312786
You should report that one as well. Toady is depending on you.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Quickstart_guide#Delving_Secure_Lodgings
Basically this. Used it for years. Almost never had a fortress fall because it's practically invincible with a little drawbridge work and breaching the caverns once for the spores to make trees grow indoors, but god it's so fucking boring.
>>137312786

New Conduct: All food is gathered/grown on surface with no growth during the winter. Subterranean food is forbidden.
>>137316507
hehe its relevant in a way,
nah guess I am just blowing coinciding information up for now reason and need to let go
now look at these escaped fire imps that came from the magma smelters below cutting a rug in the snow
So this is what a literally perfect embark feels like.
>tight canyon on both ends
>river several z levels below so I don't even have to make a reservoir
>plenty of trees
>weather that gets cold
>>137318154
That embark is going to lag like hell later on.
>>137319313
Yeah I know, but anything smaller is uncomfortable.
>>137318154
>mountain with a river running through it
Oh god that's nice. Is there a reliable way to find those?
>>137319561
In my experience, they're the easiest to find when two rivers intersect.
>>137319561
It's not a mountain.
>>137319736
>IT'S NOT A TUMAH
>>137319313
>>137319432
A fair bit of lag seems to come from item count and if the fortress is layed out well enough pathfinding shouldn't be a problem.
>>137320319
Get out Chad don't you have some bitches to slay, stop playing your nerd games lol
what can i actually do to combat this werebeast infection killing all my dwarves?
once a month i lose about 5 dwarves to a random infected going ape and killing everyone
i don't know who's infected and who isn't..
also my fishermen keep fishing turtles and there are shells EVERYWHERE and my shell crafter can't keep up. this is annoying.
>>137322741
Detective work, you can work out who's infected by checking combat logs. Other choice is to lock everyone in their rooms around the time of the full moon.
Werebeasts are cool because you don't have to feed them, so you can lock them somewhere and forget about them.
>>137322875
how would i get every dwarf into their room at once?
>>137322972
Cancel all jobs and remove meeting zones and they should hang out there, you might have to do it piecemeal, another option would be to restrict them to a zone which only ecompasses rooms.
I don't know why I keep dropping DF for 4x games like EL, Again
>Datan the woodcrafter has been missing for a week!
