I modded my elves to be 100% bi all the time and turned goblins into babysnatching spouse-converters who are all born male.

It IS Tuesday...
>>146883756
Maybe that explains why after I made the changes it keeps fucking rejecting every world.
>>146883936
Yep. If you want mass cuckery, just set Night Trolls to 1000
>>146882880
>>146884115
While the idea of making memeworld is pretty funny, I was going to use it for legends hoping to get some good drama out of it.
The bi elfs is just because that's how they should have been in vanilla anyway.
Noob here. What happens if I press embark?
>>146884751
You embark.
>>146884487
>I was going to use it for legends hoping to get some good drama out of it.
1000 night trolls gets some pretty good drama.
Noob here. What happens if i press create new world?
>>146884845
You create new world.
>>146883936
That won't cause rejections unless you've made goblins have a max age, made them the only playable civ, set the flag for playable civ required, and run worldgen long enough for them all to die off. Every rejection depends on meeting a rejection parameter that you control or failing to generate a feature that you specified in adv worldgen. "Goblins can't kidnap and rape" isn't one of those parameters.
Noob here. What happens if I press Play Now.
Noob here. What happens if i press fortress mode?
>>146885051
I did also give both elfs and goblins a maxage, made goblins have to eat and sleep, and made a lot of adjustments to the advanced worldgen parameters. Guess I'll just have to swap the original raws back in and change things one by one to see which is causing total rejection.
>>146882880
I'm tweaking appearances and other such raw elements, I never thought of it before now to give dwarves maximum broadness and elves maximum height.
Word on the bay is that the horsefuckers have a porn mod they pass among themselves.
i really hate using tilesets and I don't have to in any other game but for some reason I just can't get on without tiles
>>146886789

>>146887083
>I hate that I enjoy changing graphics in a single player game
>>146887165
I'm shitposting to bump the threadthough i wouldn't be surprised if that were true
>>146887083
there's literally nothing wrong with tilesets
sometimes I'll go without when playing nethack or dcss because it's comfier but for something as complicated as dwarf fortress or cataclysm:dda it's almost a necessity if you just want to play casually (not using that as a pejorative)
>>146887341
Oh, alright.
Carry on, then.
what are some good relationship mods?
>>146887893
My personal favorite is doing a search and replace for [CASTE:MALE] to become
[CASTE:MALE]
[ORIENTATION:FEMALE:0:0:100][ORIENTATION:MALE:100:0:0]
>>146887893
whats are relationship mods
>>146885440
Before doing that, try removing every "minimum required x" setting, increasing the maximum subregions all the way, and if you've increased the minimum cave size by a lot try dropping it. I'm not aware of any way raw modding can lead to rejections unless it makes it impossible for a playable civ survive worldgen.
>>146887083
>>146887385
Everybody uses a tileset. The default ASCII is a tileset.

>He didn't embark near elves
>>146892052
I wonder how long the habit of people not embarking near fuckers and wondering why they're not being attacked will continue.
>>146892052
They're sending him caravans, so obviously he did.
>>146892371
The caravans appear via magic if you're within 20 tiles.
The armies have to actually be generated as things that normally exist, and then have to make it all the way over.
>>146892573
30 tiles.
Access for the purpose of trade or diplomacy and for the purpose of war are both determined by being within a 30 tile radius. If traders can reach you armies can too. If you provoke them to war, they will attack your site if you're within that radius and they have the population to do so. The fact that their movement on the map is simulated doesn't change that.

>We've posted the new development page with artifacts and myths. This is the culmination of years of work on Dwarf Fortress and our other projects which never saw the light of day. We've been playing around with magic systems for years, ever since DRAGSLAY.BAS, and are looking forward to finally being able to place the dwarves into a more meaningful, mysterious and exciting universe!
>We'll start in on an artifact release once the 64-bit versions are complete. We might get away with one release there, but the myth/magic dev items will almost certainly happen over multiple releases, and we won't get to everything on the first pass.
>Work on the 64-bit version is ongoing. So far we have a windows test version and a linux test version. Here's a 32-bit Windows version that should clean up some DLL issues. We should be almost through with Mac as well -- just need to clean up the sound library situation.

Oh man, I'm so gonna make nothing but adventurers that collect all artifacts of the world and build a display library on the highest mountain or northernmost point or deepest jungle of the world.
>>146897220
That is some interesting site differences between the bit versions

Isn't it? You can see several spots where a site is still present but moved, some where it fell in one but not the other, several that are just in the same spot but possibly different level of development.

Worldgen holy relics
Conflict over competing artifact claims
Worldgen thieves directed toward new artifacts
Handle kobold site maps
Some buildings/items used to display artifacts (all modes)
Quest to retrieve, steal or otherwise obtain artifact for somebody
Quests can be taken by player adventurer or other characters
Artifacts as rewards for quests
Player's fort mode artifacts can be the target of artifact quests
Invaders can demand artifacts and leave with them
Ability to send a squad off the map to fetch a stolen artifact
AND
Handle the squad's tale upon return or rumors if the squad is delayed or doesn't survive

You know where that's going.
Can't wait, DF is going to finally be like a semi normal roguelike kinda
>>146907596
Seems like its going to be even more detailed than before though. I thought most roguelikes were just "go to dungeon, kill the things, level up, get mad stats, die"

I look forward to the science on adventurer self-mutilation.

Yeah but the main things DF was lacking in was 1. acquisition 2. quests 3. magic.

This is hard to get into holy fuck but it's interesting
Last thread or the one before someone asked about pumping magma out onto a glacier.
The only safe thing you can say is that it gets weird.
This here is a glitched volcano tube where the caverns are exposed, the water freezes once it is exposed to the sky but the magma below melts it, so it ends up making really fucking weird results, like this spire of ice jutting up three levels above obsidian hanging above the SMR lava flows at the bottom.
>>146907910
Which I will do my part to contribute all sorts of awful findings to.
>no monster hunter mod

>>146912778
You can add new kinds of Hellish fauna. Still very limited tho, but I can't wait for when they add the option of hellish civilizations.

>Handle the squad's tale upon return or rumors if the squad is delayed or doesn't survive
This is beyond cool
I'd like to see a [d]esignate "Ore" for mining or something, like if I discover a native gold vein I can designate a single tile and miners will dig out the rest of the visible tiles in that vein and continuing to designate newly revealed tiles of the same type, stopping only when it's all done or typical warm/wet/cavern cancellations.
Some of you may have been around a few months ago when I posted about the strange exploits of my fort's most accomplished doctor, Vucar Likotoddom, who was obsessed with climbing a pillar, jumping onto the roof of my jeweler's shop, and dehydrating. Eventually, after rescuing him from death 3 times, I made him a scholar and he started doing more sensible things with his time.
Now, a few fort-years later, his colleague Doctor Cilob Zonlelum is repeating the performance. Here is Cilob, sitting on the roof of the reading rooms with his pet duck Etur thinking about bandages.
I have no idea how Cilob got up there. I assume the duck flew. Luckily he's not hungry or thirsty yet, because we're too busy to deal with his bullshit right now.

This is interesting. A migrant arrived already unfocused from unmet needs. He's a trader, so I can only assume that he was part of a previous year's caravan, and his needs accrued while he was standing around in my trade depot, and then just froze as they were when he left the map.

Might have to try something because dwarfs just love getting into spaces like that because of combat.
So this is the next major update
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html
>>146930508
It doesn't have anything to do with combat. I built a rescue stair and he and got a drink then went right back up to think about bandages some more. With his duck. Some dwarves just decide they need to be in strange places. It was the same way with Vucar before.

>>146910345
Read the wiki bruh. It's there.
>>146910528
It's not hard, there's just a lot of shit. Watch some vids or follow the newb guides so you can wrap your head around designating, digging and shit. Then just focus on learning one industry or aspect of the game at a time. Once you've made the rounds you slap it all together and you've got it.
>>146912370
You'd be able to make a stalker mod pretty handily. Once you make it so civs don't give a shit about evil terrain and minimize region size and max amount you have a fair bit of anomalies. You can then add in lots of plants, trees, and creatures to simulate more shit.

>>146940473
Read the wiki article carefully
>>146940473
What's hard about it? You're building a raising bridge frame on one side and you tell it what way it's raising so it knows where to put the bridge frame up.
How do people keep having trouble with this?
How do they have trouble reading the wiki which is very clear on it?

At least we got the taverns for a revolving door of people you don't like.
>>146881702
So I know he added equipment damage, but is there a way to repair that shit yet?
>>146942793
Afaik, no. It's not a big deal though. You keep overproducing armor for more dorfs. Then periodically when you go to do your post-caravan melt orders check for X's in the stocks armor lists and melt them down.
>>146942793
Recycle
Also how fast does shit wear down? These systems generally suck.
>>146942963
>>146943029
Well that sucks. Can Adamantine be damaged?
And this is really more of a concern for Adventure mode. It's jank as hell to have to constantly recycle everything like a new age hippy, but that option isn't even available in Adventure Mode.
>>146943029
From combating and traveling in adventure mode, armor and clothes don't really degrade unless you're getting hit with weapons.
And even then, it still takes 2-3 hits from a divine material weapon to destroy cloth and anything below bismuth bronze.
>>146943302
Finding complete armor in adventure mode is a pain though, and that's going to add up if you're a long-term adventurer.
>>146943202
Probably though probably not as much since it's the best and you wont be getting hit by steel.
It's more accurate. Getting fucked up and your silk robes are fine is weird.
>>146943384
Then wear a quiver and throw 50 iron bolts then throw carving knives. you shouldn't be getting hit much. And if you are you can just head home to your armory. If you're still in leather's it's not a big deal if you know your coverages since you accumulate so fucking much of it.
>>146943491
I don't really get your mindset.
>It's fine because you can throw shit.
I mean sure, but what if I'm not using throwing? You know there are other weapons?
>>146943384
>Finding complete armor in adventure mode is a pain though
I don't know how it is for you but on average across all my adventurers it takes like 4 visits to mead halls/human forts to find a complete set of bronze armor. But then again, I play humans/human sized animal people.
And if you're goblin-sized, you can collect steel armor bits pretty regularly if you just raid goblin patrols from dark pits since toady made armor more common among soldiers.

Yes but where on the bridge is the 1 by x wall?
>>146941609
Just answer my question.
The bridge is built with the directional arrow facing up.
The lever is pulled.
Where is the wall?

>How do they have trouble reading the wiki which is very clear on it?
It's not at all clear and while it goes into endless detail about thing's not related to what i'm asking about it only has one sentence giving a vague description about what i'm asking.
>How do people keep having trouble with this?
Because it's not at all clear.
>>146943774
My mindset is no matter what you're eventually gonna get headshot/kicked in the head or something broke until you finally fail your willpower roll. You can practice your melee, weapon, and misc obj skills on wildlife. Once it's go time you should be minimizing your exposure to attacks as much as possible and just flat out fleeing if so you don't get sucked into a brawl.
xbow/bow/blowgun have a delay that will get you killed even at legendary+5 and high agility. Bolts/arrows are everywhere, they autostore into your quiver, and you can chuck a good bit at anything hostile, land a few and it goes down like a bitch.
>>146944280
Actually read the wiki instead of skimming cause it tells you even if you can't be fucked to spend 3 days trying.
>>146944363
>Actually read the wiki instead of skimming
I have, several times.
Maybe you should reread my post instead of skimming.
>>146944280
>the bridge will become a wall along the edge selected with the wadx keys when placing the bridge.
How is this sentence not clear?
>>146944363
I just have more fun with the combat system rather than flinging shit. That's all this really is about. Fun.
>>146944280
When you're building it, it should tell you which direction it raises/retracts. That's where the wall forms
So like:
bridge
raises west
down
w
====
====
====
w
up
w
=
=
=
w
>>146944425
I did. Since the wiki is crystal clear I can only assume you're retarded and skimmed.
>>146944548
Yeah. It literally does.
>>146944526
>the bridge will become a wall along the edge selected with the wadx keys when placing the bridge.
>Before placing the bridge ensure that the bridge raises in the direction you want it to using wadx or retracts using s.
These two sentences are a contradiction. A real bridge does not work like that.
>>146943774
>You know there are other weapons?
>not mastering all combat disciplines so you can best any challenger in any way possible
If you survive long enough as a long-term adventurer you're either going to have multiple sources to re-armor yourself or better yet, armor will be a tertiary defense for when all of your other defensive maneuvers fail.
>>146944795
I just prefer fighting in melee instead of being a pebble tosser.
>>146944794
>These two sentences are a contradiction.
I don't see how.
The second sentence does not make a statement about how wadx influences the direction, only the first one does. In fact, the two sentences talk about separate things altogether.
If you have a better suggestion how to formulate it, tell us.
>A real bridge does not work like that.
I assume you mean "it's counterintuitive compared to a real bridge", so how would you expect it to work then?
>>146944795
>tfw you have a high percentage of miners

Why is mining best skill?
Did you not start wielding a crutch as soon as you found one in a mead hall?
Didn't feel like using a macro to climb in a square?
>>146899020
Myths? Monsters will have myths to them that they will respect for repelling, drawing or recruiting them? As in eating apples while dancing maybe required to tame a Dragon? Cool
>>146945062
I've just remembered I need to add canes alongside crutches so I can make platinum ones for all my dwarves.
>inb4 fedoras
What other mundane items would add some nice flavour to DF?
>>146944918
And that's perfectly fine.
There's not much to worry about with the new material handling since most enemies won't be wielding steel weapons and bronze will resist any other material perfectly fine, on top of having decent enough dodge skills will mean you'll basically never get hit.
>>146945062
>tfw caught a bolt out of the air once
>never happened again
I decided to crutch swim across an ocean after I became a vampire but I got bored a couple miles off shore and decided to swim west to raid the mass of goblin pits and murder more titans.
Luckily for me, there were 2 demon vaults and I finally found a dark fortress with an underworld spire, and after I get rid of all these damn elf kids I rescued, I shall return and go off to fight the demons.
Haven't been assed to level up climbing and I'm starting to suspect there might be some fuckery in the raws since I'm playing a jaguar man and I had to mod in SWIMS_LEARNED so I could actually level up swimming- so it might be the same case for climbing.
>>146944972
Nevermind, I see what you mean. I changed the wiki article like this:
>[...]ensure that the bridge raises _FROM_the direction you want it to using wadx
Is this better?
>>146945520
Yes, in fact that clears up everything. Thanks.
>>146945520
That means the opposite of the bridge mechanics.
>>146945520
So literally:>>146944548
>>146944548
This is the best way to explain it.

>>146951046
>But really, what do you think it will exactly affect the hostility slider?
Wat
But seriously, I imagine it would be all sorts of things hostile to human/dwarf life. A mix of current savagery/evil area effects, and then some.
I would love to see some carnivorous plants posing a threat to dwarf-sized creatures.
Is there a way to increase the artifact rate of creation in the init. files? Or will I have to wait for DFhack to update.
How do you do your workshops, /dfg/? Do you do each as a separate room with a large stockpile room, or do you just have one large room with workshops and stockpile together>
>>146953370
Separate cause muh fps
>>146953370
Production trees with small stockpiles inbetween and set of small separate stockpiles on input and output. Easy to keep eye on how much I have and how much I need and keeps haulers from doing nothing.
Should also help with fps issue 'cause all stockpile workers aresupposed to beburrowed but I never really cared about it.
>>146953370
Four workshops at diagonals to the central stairwell, eight craft workshops on one level because they're all using stone anyway.
Is there an easy way to get dorfs to bring stuff killed by my military to my butcher's workshop and then to get my butcher to butcher it? All I can think of is designating them for dumping but I can't figure out how to butcher them. butcher dead animal doesn't seem to work.
>>146955461
I'm talking about things like how I train my dorfs in wrestling on camels and shit, not butchering goblins, btw.

Basically, foam has a lot of air in it and the shit itself can burn. Modify the mixture and you can make some really explosive shit. It's the same as sawdust explosions in principle.
how come the dwarves you embark with are always like 70 years old?
What should I do with my prisoners?>tileset
>>146960132
Put them in arenas and have them fight beasts. Bonus points if you have a stocked FB zoo. Pretty classy to have 1v1 fights vs your dorfs, letting them go free if they win. See how many master goblins you can train in your arena
Otherwise uh, dump weapons from the stocks menu and pit the non-thieves into an arena for trainees with training weapons to bang on?
>>146912370

>>146961272
GemSet
>>146960875
Wall up the sides of caverns 1,2,3. Make a little exit gatehouse out of one of the edges in each cavern and trap it with bait animals. For FB's it's in the wiki and a couple megaproject threads and wiki pages. Doesn't hurt to kick up a breeding program either. Only shame is you can't give gobbos better arms and armor.

Actually, how do you name your dwarfs? Like what kind of naming scheme do you use?
Eg, if you had a dwarf Urist McDwarf how would you change his name?
And what do you mean by custom profs?
>>146962893
Like, farmer prof, then gatherer nickname so I know he has herbalist and wood cutting. I'll add more notes beyond that for whatever else i've lobbed on him. After about 30 dorfs I have my core done and it's all haulers I reassign to whatever I need or into the military

No, but he sure looks like one.
>>146964001
Use walls and traps where they'd pass through and either spook em with a wrestler or wait. If they're hostiles, you can bait them with wood doors and chained animals.

>>146963818Everyone died to the endless wave of goblin arrows and bolts, giving them the ambusher tag was a pretty dwarfish way to die.
>>146964520
Keep your wealth and mining low for 2 or 3 years to dodge triggering ambushes. Then you'll have a good bit of bait animals and forbidden doors at L-bends. If you take soldiers and beat on shit with training weapons and get 3ish dorfs a lot of practice shooting animals. That's what I did back in 31.16
>>146964520Did they lose their ambusher tag? What happened?
>>146965384
Whats an ambusher tag
>>146964503
Can you elaborate a little more for me please?
>>146965481
Baitanon go back to sleep. We were having a fine morning so far.
>>146965618
I seriously have no idea what an ambusher tag is. Is it like the ambusher token?
>>146965665
yes, except its not a token, and its a tag,duh
>>146965384
Goblins never had the ambusher tag. The ambusher tag doesn't make civs ambush, it makes their sieges show up in ambush. It's the same as a normal siege except you don't see the invaders until one of your units detects them. Like a typical elven siege.
Same way that the sieger tag (which goblins also don't have) doesn't make civs siege, it makes their sieges use DF's closest approximation of siege tactics. Which as of now just means milling around in a cluster on the edge of the map instead of trying to rush your fort. Humans do that.
