Not until Tode implements proper armies and large scale battles anyway.
>>126700336
What you describe is typical of the "industrialised" warfare. It doesn't fit into Toady's 14th century theme.
Then, so doesn't much of the books in the current version.
Camera obscuras, seriously?
>>126700082
When you gen a world and it says Hist Figs those are historical figures. Anyone whos killed someone, created an artifact, done something notable. there's thousands. and there's tens of thousands more who weren't notable.
There really is a whole fucking world behind the curtain. It's dangerous to look and get sucked in.
>>126699385

Damn kobolds.
The dwarfs somehow have left a dirt trail still.
>>126700464
But goblins have trenches.
Dark Pits are basically trenches and trenches and trenches.
>>126699582
Neither.
Sheep have been the backbone of all western development since the neolithisation and onward. I wouldn't betray the sheep to any other critter.
how do I pit my refuse without pitting other things by accident?
>>126700597
>sheep
>not horse
>not cattle
Sheep don't plough fields, provide transportation or produce large amounts of milk. Why do you hold wool in such high esteem?
>>126700703
When you use dump zones, you'll have to manually select what you want to dump. There's no way for you to pit things you don't want to.
Whats the biggest battle that ever occurred in your world?
>sandy bedrooms
into the trash it goes.
>>126700795
but let's say I have a tile on which I dump the extra rocks I get when digging tunnels and room, and then I want to dump all my refuse in a pit, how do I make sure the refuse is dumped into the pit and not among the rocks or that the rocks aren't dumped in the pit as well?
>>126700793
No animals were as easy and effective to domesticate as the sheep. If you combinte them with goats, you have an invincible economy and an endless supply of wool, milk, meat, grazelands fit for agriculture, et cetera.
If it weren't for the sheep, we'd probably never learn to domesticate either horses or cattle, either.
>>126700882
>digging bedrooms at Z-2

>>126700819
>Human casualty rate: 1%

Were they mercs or slaves that the humans used as fodder? lmao
>>126700995
my embark being z+9, i'm not too sure what I"ll find
>>126700901
There's probably a better way of doing it, but I'd make several dump zones, and only keep one of them 'active' at a time. When I'm dumping stone, I'd keep the stone dump active, and when I'm dumping rubbish, I'd keep the rubbish dump active.
> those undead changes in the news post
Good. Brainless undead raised by necros or biome effects should be cannon fodder anyways. It's the thralls from evil clouds you should be watching out for, because they get the serious stat bonuses and retain full combat intelligence.
>>126700464

I always imagined the ordinary zombies being traditional undeads, and mist zombies being more like the vampiric zombies we see so much of in pop culture today.

There will definitely be repercussions if you outright kill him in fort mode. There MAY be repercussions if you set up a scenario where he tragically dies. I've had diplomats die. It happens. You could engineer a flood.

>>126703514

Those where there in 0.34 too, though, and it didn't keep 0.34 world from reaching Age of Heroes almost everytime you genned a world on default settings.
>You will never be an dorf adventurer that gets drafted into a war against the goblins

So...I just butchered giant elephant, and found out, that it gives 10x more organs, bones and meat than normal one.
That means..
96, prepared giant elephant lung
283, giant elephant fat
538, giant elephant bones
And pile of hecking
1008 pieces of giant elephant meat.
I think I know where my next fortress will be.
>>126704537
how many hunters does it take to take down?
>>126704537
>96 lungs
lmao
>>126704061
>it didn't keep 0.34 world from reaching Age of Heroes
You sure? I think back in 0.34 it usually landed in the Nth Age of Myth, with the monster populations seesawing over the limit, and whatever kept creating new mythical beasts back then is probably still around.
>>126704537
It would mean more if farmed food was scarce or difficult to grow at all.
>>126704485
>implying
If you live in the west, you can not only join the army and get sent into the fray in the levant, you can even pick sides.
>>126704537
regular elephants usually die out because they can't eat grass fast enough or so I heard.
are giant elephants even more grass-hungry?
>>126704753
hopefully they can supplement their grass intake with dwarven meat
>>126704697
I went to my draft back when I was 18
They didn't have room for anyone, unless you got really lucky/unlucky you had a ~1/2 years wait time to get in
>>126704753
They probably instantly destroy any grass tile they step on, making it impossible for them to eat at all.
>>126704697
lmao i did my conscription already not much options here
>>126704753
Hopefully they eat entire trees and then also eat the elves who come to tell them to stop.
>>126704807
>my country's army won't have me
Still one more way to get to the battle, kek.
>>126704926
shit nigga I passed the psych and physical, i just drew a reserve number and because my countries army is basically already filled that's a free passTechnically all Danish 18-year-old males are conscripts (37,897 in 2010, of whom 53% were considered suitable for duty).[13] Due to the large number of volunteers, 96-99 % of the number required in the past three years, the number of men actually called up is relatively low (4200 in 2012). There were additionally 567 female volunteers in 2010, who pass training on "conscript-like" conditions.
>>126704621
Just one dorf in arena mode, will continue testing.
Giant Sperm Whale was a bit dissapointing after the elephanth.
Just---...Oh wait, that was just the bones..the fuck, I take that back.
Giant Sperm Whale...
563, Brain stuff
1163 prepared Giant Sperm Whale lung
1479 pieces of fat
+a lot of other organs
1637 bones...I wonder if the feature of "dorf uses whole bone pile into same items" is still there..
Finally,
6846 pieces of meat.
I am not sure if last few embarkments ever used that much food.
Is there a faster way to check the preferences of my dwarves?
Am I the only one who was super disappointed to discover the drake I had was in fact just a male duck and not a particularly small draconid?
If a dwarf family owns a bedroom, can they all sleep in the same bed at the same time?
I'm looking at the moment and I see a mother, a child and her newborn baby all in the same bed.
>>126706038
I had that problem with the mastershit mod
>>126706038
Discovering that that cave sow was not a full-functional underground-living sow was my biggest disappointment when I started my first fortress. Well, they were too cheap to be one.
>>126706079
Children will prefer to have their own rooms, but they'll sleep with their parents if they don't get any.
Parents, as well as babies will sleep in the same bed, although only the parents will count as "owners" of the room.
I have no idea what happens if you place several beds in the same room.
>>126706580
CAVY sow, not "cave" sow, you plum. It's a neutral, non-geographical word for guinea pig.
>fuggin emus keep falling for my trapped bridge trick even though the river said bridge is built on is frozen over
I don't know how the fuck my country lost a war against these guys.
Also I'm new to breeding non-domestic birds. I assume these niggers need to be trained at least a little bit before they'll sit in a nest box?
>>126705367
Despite sinking hundreds of hours in.. I have no idea how often a dwarf eats. Once per season? That feels right. Maybe twice a season?
>>126706993
You only lost a battle, not the entire war. After the the meme part of the "Emu War", the army was mobilised again, and that time they killed thousands of emus and drove the rest off.
>>126706993
Yeah they will, and they'll slowly revert to untrained. Which is unfortunate but tamers will catch them and re-train them before you notice if properly staffed for the volume of animals and whatnot.
Fortunately, children of trained parents are wild but only need trained once before becoming tamed, and tame lasts forever.
Thirst, Hunger, and Drowsiness each increment by 1 during each game tick (i.e. 1200 per day, 33,600 per month, 403,200 per year), possibly more if the dwarf is a mother carrying her child. When they reach certain thresholds, the following things happen.
Hunger:
40000 - dwarf starts considering getting something to eat (1/120 chance per tick) if idle
45000 - dwarf decides to go get something to eat if idle
50000 - dwarf starts flashing "Hungry"
65000 - dwarf gets an unhappy thought about being Hungry, cancels current :job to get something to eat
75000 - dwarf starts flashing "Starving", begins hunting for vermin
85000 - dwarf gets an unhappy thought about being Starving
100000 - dwarf starts burning stored fat; when this is completely depleted, the dwarf dies of starvation
Thirst:
20000 - dwarf starts considering getting something to drink (1/120 chance per tick) if idle
22000 - dwarf decides to go get something to drink if idle
25000 - dwarf starts flashing "Thirsty"
35000 - dwarf gets an unhappy thought about being Thirsty, cancels current job to get something to drink
50000 - dwarf starts flashing "Dehydrated"
60000 - dwarf gets an unhappy thought about being Dehydrated
75000 - dwarf dies of thirst
Drowsiness:
50000 - dwarf starts considering going to bed (1/120 chance per tick) if idle
54000 - dwarf decides to go to bed if idle
57600 - dwarf starts flashing "Drowsy"
65000 - dwarf get an unhappy thought about being Tired
150000 - dwarf starts flashing "Very Drowsy"
160000 - dwarf get an unhappy thought about being Exhausted
200000 - dwarf goes insane
>>126707197
>>126707059
So yeah, a dwarf strictly needs to eat once per season but will eat more often if given the chance and RNG.
>>126707142
They're pretty tough little fuckers for their size. My hunter only had wooden/bone bolts and he was having a ton of trouble killing them.
>>126707142
Seems like they don't have the [CANOPENDOORS] tag so hopefully they won't run away too easily.
>>126706697
Holy shit, I have kept misreading this word for a whole year. T-thanks, anon.Yeah, I know they are just guineas now, I googled it back then.
>>126707197
>dwarf starts burning stored fat; when this is completely depleted, the dwarf dies of starvation
interesting, wonder how much longer fatties can survive than anorexics
>>126707272
Oh this is easier someone has already broken it down.
>Dwarves require approximately 2 units of food and 5 units of drink each season. Farming can produce enough crops to satisfy part or all of these requirements. However, be aware that the more and larger your farms are, the more time and effort must be accorded to their maintenance.
>>126705367
So I'm going to look it up here. 14320. 14320 edibles.
If a dwarf needs 8 units of food per year, that means one giant spermwhale feeds a dwarf for 1,790 years. Or 100 dwarves for 17.9 years. That's incredible. One sperm whale would feed a dwarf fortress of 150 dwarves for eleven years.
>>126707529
The thing is wooden bolts are outright terrible. They should never be used outside training. While your gut may say never waste a bar of metal you don't have to, metal bolts are easily worth it since a single bar goes a long, long way and can easily be replaced with some smelted goblinite.
Bone bolts are alright. They are a significant step down from even the worse metal bolts but they are by no means as bad as wood.
>>126708108
Oh I know, this was at embark. My hunter is half future militia commander/half early game entertainment. It's just fun watching him pincushion shit and it's good training.
>>126708327
>I must withdraw!
x100000
man I wish they were more brazen.
>>126708393
Was kind of annoyed how I made him train several wardogs at the start in the hopes they'd follow him around and finish shit off without actually having to assign any to him. They did some chasing but mostly they just stood there and acted very unwarlike.
>>126708035
>100 dwarves for 17.9 years.
Woah, I think we are going to see those merperson traps in new use soon.
More Giant Elephant research done. This time with crossbow dwarfs.
Wooden bolts are useless against Giant Elephants, other than for training.
Copper bolts puts then into pain and knocks them out, but actually killing is close to imbossible. Melee dwarfs or wardogs could possibly help?
Iron bolts nearly same as copper, but knocked the target giant elephant down faster, but it is highly unlikely that the elephant will die to that alone.
If anyone tries to hunt Giant Elephans, it is better to use something else than hunter to finish the kill.

>>126713482
When the game supports more than 16 colors for the display.*
When the game supports an actual item economy where candle trade and consumption for lighting can make sense.
When the game supports the notion that a candle burning on a table doesn't mean the table should burst into flames just because there's fire "on" its surface, while a candle which has been "knocked around and rolled beneath" wooden furniture SHOULD cause it to ignite eventually.
When dwarves can react semi-intelligently about fire, the spread of fire, and how to deal with fire without dying horribly.
When fire stops evaporating water that's flooding the ground.
* The game already supports true color red/green/blue color values, but only for materials; not for the actual UI display, which ends up rounding the true color to the nearest of the current 16 colors.
>>126714095
So basically never and we will always have to worry about cave adaptation
>>126714242
Yeah, lighting isn't a big deal to Toady right now.

>>126714242
Dorfs are the only civilised creatures able to see in the dark. While cave adaption is handled by another token, it's still logical to consider them two sides of the same coin.
You gain some, you lose some.
Cave adaption is a challenge among others(although having to keep lit torches, and thereby also having to make them as secure as possible, and possibly even have to make "evacuation plans" for the eventuality that something goes wrong, possibly even adding a "fire department" screen similar to the health and justice dittoes, also sounds like a nice challenge).

No, they are unorganized territories. Degenerate wastelands of bandits, whores, and the directionless. What happens out there is subject to no laws, and the people out there can scarcely be called people at all, especially the frenchmen.

The children of trained mothers aren't wild, they inherit the training level of the mother. For egg layers it's the training level at the time the eggs were laid.

I wonder how many haulers you need to store that much shit before it spoils ...
Where can i find giant sperm whales ??
>>126721146
Hunting/war animals follow their trainer by default though until you assign them to someone/something else. Just turns out they don't really do a lot when they're following said trainer.
I should be able to refuse migrants. I want to set up a checkpoint and if the wave has more than 1 kid they can fuck right off
I'm tired of getting 4 useless shits + 9 children and I don't want to just smash them

The needs system means that personality matters again for soldiers. Unless they get kicks from fighting and training, the army life will stress them out.

No i dont.
I was in the middle of setting up proper "2x smelter, 2 x furnace, 2 x forge " workshop area but i really dont need 28 glazers/millers/pressers for that.
>>126723516
Nothing, I just offer them goods up to 60k because it's the fastest way to get rid of old clothing.
Currently elves aren't coming because my civ is at war with elves, and they brought me a gorilla, a grizzly bear and a tiger last time. Really hoped they would bring me a pair to at least one of these this year...
I never made a mass pitting system before, and I don't get what the wiki wants me to do.
So I made a small room and put hatches in channeled tiles like that. Then the wiki says "Now, wait for the stockpile above to fill and assign creatures to the pit all in one shot", what the hell does that mean? Must I link the hatches to a lever or what?
Also I don't understand the mechanic behind the whole big stockpile over few hatch covers thing, wouldn't it be more effective if you just made stockpiles over the hatches? I'm not sure how this system works.
Also for now I just want to leave the bottom of the pit an empty area.
>>126703532
>>126703627
>>126703868
>>126704061
>>126704665
So much misinformation.
The game counts powers, megabeasts and semimegabeasts, if they don't have those tokens, or aren't forgotten beasts/titans, then they ain't powers, and they don't contribute to the age of myth.
>>126722089
It's great ain't it? Until the tavern keeper starts causing people to overdose on booze and choke to death on their own vomit.
>>126723889dont botheryou cant pit anything other than animalsso you can only pit animals like badgers, not naked goblins/elves/humans for your soldiers to train on
you make an area with holes (with hatches over them) every other block, like you see in my picture, put an animal stockpile over the top, disabled empy cages and traps, so only enemies in cages are stored there
(cont)
>>126723992
What I said, namely
>>126703627
>>126704061
wasn't misinformation.
You're free to DL 0.34 at any time and test worldgen.
The thing about sites is relevant, too: sites in 0.40 and 0.42, while more plentiful, seem to be ruined or conquered far more often, meaning that civilisation is more vulnerable than before.
>It's great ain't it?
So you're one of those snarky anons who complain about every new release.
>>126724118
>>126724118
you then put a zone over the hatches/hole, not the excess stockpile around it, putting it to a pit/pond
now if it was actually fucking working, you go into it via [P] (not [p]) while in the zones menu, finding the shit you want to mass pit, select it and they will throw it in there, similar to pastures.
if its a goblin, make sure you disarm them first by d>b>c over them then d>b>d over them, THEN [k] over the cage you just did the dbd over, and UN DUMP the cage with d, or else they will let out the monster.
if you dont disarm them, they could attack the dorf throwing them in or attack the people blow with actual weapons
make sure you have a hatch next to every stockpile square, if they are further away, for example 2 squares of stockpile THEN the hatch, they could escape or attack your dwarf, being next to the hatch makes it very very quick.
>>126723652
>brewer barely makes enough booze for everyone
>seed stockpile is low
what are you doing man
don't cook until you've got enough seeds to go around and good enough planters to get good return from them. (or just plant gather everything on the surface, if in a non hostile environment)
i'm so happy when i get weavers, usually i get shearers and spinners more often from that group of professions (never tried using either as bases for my clothing industry and i seriously doubt they'd be nearly as efficient as my plant processors). i'm now even happy when i get dyers, now that i've figured out that dyes can't be placed in barrels atm.
there's lots of industries that are completely worthless in DF (BEEKEEPING, CHEESEMAKING) but clothesmaking really is pretty good, and actually gets rather essential later, on unless you're willing to buy every single clothes from merchants (more fun to just make them yourself imo).
If a forgotten beast has wings, are soldiers just not able to attack it even if there's a cavern ceiling directly above it?
It's ridiculous, this thing fucking killed half my military because it continually breathes fire at my soldiers until they die and my dwarves aren't able to counter attack when it swipes at them
What do I have to edit in the files to make unicorns tameable?
how do i update dwarf therapist for .04?
>>126724589
Who said anything about cooking seeds/plants ??
Cooking seed is the first thing i disable when starting a new fort.
>>126724118
>>126724410
Did 0.40 or 0.42 make it impossible to do humanoid pitting? Also why does the wiki recommend exactly 2 spaces between hatches?
I see what you mean, the [P] zone info doesn't show any of my trogolodytes orother creatures
thanks for the help, anon
>>126725256
Nope, not yet
>>126725256
i have idea why the wiki suggests that, the .42 did break it yeh, no fix yet
my design works perfectly just need to wait till it actually has a use, no problem m8
>>126724913
Add the [PET] or [PET_EXOTIC] tag to it
>>126725221
why else would you be low on seeds? if you're not cooking and just brewing you should end up with dozens of all the important seeds soon enough
>>126724913
since when are unicorns not tamable?
that's lame, they used to be a rad war beast
>>126725448
Im low on seeds because my brewer/farmer is working 24h a day on that 10x10 field of plump helmets so i have little "wiggle room" for feeding more migrants ...
Isn't it obvious ??
I just fucking hate when migrant wave is 2 times as big as my entire fort - thats it.
At what stress level do dwarves start throwing tantrums?
My jeweler is at 145.
>>126725634
what?
its impossible to be low on seeds
make plot > put plumps down > get plump plants > brew > get even more seeds > put more down or make another plot > repeat
oh no! migrants what do i do?!put those niggers to work in the fields
just because some shitlord doesnt have the skill in it, doesnt mean he cant do it, give him the labor
i have 15 custom professions in therapist where i just assign them auto to any new migrant
need a farmer? make some random cunt a farmer, there.
>>126725634
>Not picking fruit from trees
Seriously, set a fruit gathering point under trees, it will change your life.
>>126725330
So is there a way to deal with caged monsters in the latest versions, just to recycle the cages? Just checked and you can't assign them to pastures either.
>>126726027
b > j
build the cage, put it down, link it to a lever, pull the lever, there, get a free monster to kill, a bunch of mechs on the floor and a cage.
>>126725634
>10x10
>brewer farmer
>surprised he ends up with food issues
your setup is ultra inefficient, anon. there's your problem, not the migrant waves. you've got a farmer/brewer who's either spending all his time planting (a 10x10 field? i've never needed fields that big even in 120 dwarves fortresses) which then causes you to lack seeds, or he's spending all his time brewing which causes you to lack food. Make smaller farm plots and don't keep the same dwarf doing both the brewing and the planting once you start getting more dwarves.
but anyway, if you really really want to keep at it your way, just lower the max number of dwarves in d_init to something stupidly low.
fresh artifact coming through
i just learned that you can name embarks and fortress
this pleases my autism
>>126726753
>not using the random name generator until you get funny ones like Apebasements
>>126726465
Okay so my initial setup is
2 x miner
1 x woodcutter
1 x carpenter/woodcrafter
1 x mason/stonecrafter
1 x brewer/grower
1 x misc dwarf ( sometimes metal worker, sometimes architect,mechanic,fisherdwarf etc )
So should i divide brewing and growing between misc one and "proper" brewer ??
>remade previous Adventure World
>before it was Large, now it's Small
>added more beasts for more real fights
Was this a good decision? Last time I played, I couldn't get out of an elven tree fort, and resorted to jumping off the side of it. Fell to my death, but it was a fun ride.
>>126724410
post your fort
is that adamantine mummy story true? can legendary dorf docs replace skins organs and shit with metal?
>>126724676
Pretty much. One killed my military and started multiple forrest fires while flying around cooking everything in smog and fire. It was fun.

Works pretty well, covers all the important stuff until migrants show up.

Theyre tall abominations that exist far too close to the sky to be sane.
You should put them out of their misery.
Why do my fortresses keep imploding into civil war when I'm not looking?
>>126724335
The age of myth is exclusively dependent on how many powers remain alive, when they hit 75% I think it goes to legends, when there are 4 left it goes to heroes, then you get the civilization ages.
Sites has nothing to do with the myth/legends/heroes transitions.
>anons who complain
Uh, no, I actually think it is great, I love the shit out of taverns and dancing and booze, I've done little else since the update hit.
>>126730448
... wat?
I didnt even know this was possible
>build a cage with a troglodyte out in the open
>open it with a lever
>it goes past tons of dwarves, goes deep inside the fort to get caught in a cage trap again
what did just happen, aren't those supposed to be aggressive? At least it did show me that my fort entrance corridor is too badly defended
>>126730521
>Sites has nothing to do with the myth/legends/heroes transitions.
They do. Healthier sites with more powerful hist figs give the the mega- and semimegabeasts a harder time. Obviously, more strong hist figs should mean more dead beasts.
>>126730448
they're unhappy
>>126730676
I don't know. I recently had a fortress of ~190 dorfs and next thing I know there's a massive brawl in a tavern and 1/4 of my population has died. Within the next few minutes half had died and citizens continued to try to punch their way through my soldiers

I think he means raw leather. He would say tanned hides if he wanted them .
