Anyone notice everything requires only one bar of metal?
I was able to make a full suit of chainmail+plate with around 7 bars.
-
Yes, it's a bug.
-
Oh god damnit
All progress has been put hiatus because both my miners decided this was the most efficient way to work
-
I have found a bridge a few layers underground. It looks like it may be some sort of road leading through the depths. Anyone know what the purpose of this is?
-
congratulations you have discovered a lost civilization
siege that motherfucker and loot it
-
Is there a Goblin tower nearby?
-
Only one way to find out, send an exploration team!
-
I just learned that when water freezes, and there was a grate in the water, the grate is deconstructed.
Now when I release the torrent of water, there will be copper grates rushing as well.
Currently storing 165 units of water.
-
I think that there may be one nearby. Could that have something to do with the bridge?
-
Pics, nao.
-
Maybe there actually are lost civilization ruins underground?
-
I'll try to get some pictures up in a few minutes.
EDIT: After looking at the wiki, I found out that the bridge could just be part of a goblin tunnel
screenshots
still pretty interesting regardless.
It continues onward past my site.
-
Too bad you can't make worlds generate more.
You could flood that bridge with magma or put traps on it or something and see what happens.

Ah I haven't been in this thread for a while. Is the military still bugged? I've only seen a few bug fixes so far mostly with path finding.
-
I haven't seen any actual bugs with the military.
It crashed once while I was doing something in the military menu, but I think Toady fixed that. It's just confusing to use, like needing an arsenal dwarf and stuff.

I was reading through the SA Dwarf Fortress thread and I came across this amazing story.
THIS IS NOT MY STORY.
SirPenguin posted:I will never forget this day. The day that I beat the unbeatable.
Timad was a yellow jasper forgotten beast. He had no organs or blood, and his poison breath was deadly. The poison first killed your sensor and motor nerves so that a dwarf was numb and had a hard time maintaining a grip on equipment. The deadly portion, however, was the severe infection and rot it caused. The usual course of the poison involved both eyes rotting out, resulting in blindness. The rot would spread to the rest of the body. Eventually they would succumb to infection while spewing miasma everywhere.
My miners - before they died a horrible, rotting death - were able to cut both arms and feet off of Timad. But Timad was huge enough that simply slamming his body against them was enough to break bones while his poison did its work. 50 dwarves went to 40, then 20, then 10 and below able to actually fight. Towards the end I had 13 dwarves rotting on the hospital floor while Timad smashed beds and doors apart. He then moved towards the hospital, and I figured that was the end.
Then migrants came. They ran blindly to the meeting hall and smack dab into Timad. There they met their own infection-based death.
All died. Except for Imush.
Imush was a strand extractor. He had found his way past Timad but quickly was caught in a dead end. After Timas finished off the hospital he pathed towards Imush, and there they danced back and forth. Timad wouldn't charge in and attack him, while Imush wouldn't dare try to sneak past Timad again. Soon Imush began getting dehydrated. I figured he would die any day.
Then the inexplicable happened. A fucking gremlin happened. He managed to sneak to the surface and and to my depot where a caged bear was sitting. He picked the lock and the bear ran free, immediately heading into my fort and towards Timad. This story would have been amazing if I could tell you that bear killed Timad - unfortunately, he did not. But he was able to attack Timad and latch onto his shell. The forgotten beast was distracted enough that Imush was able to sneak by and grab a drink in the food stocks. I immediately designated the outside as a burrow and shoved Imush into it. Once he reached the surface I had him build 4 walls onto each stairway into my fort, effectively sealing Timad inside.
Lacking any skills or tools, Imush was forced to brave the frozen ocean during a snow storm. I had some animal remains outside that he was able to butcher into some meat, but there wasn't any drink or any chance of getting a drink. Again he became dehydrated, and again I figured this was the end. Suddenly, the humans came, and with them sweet, sweet drink. Of course I had nothing to trade so I forced Imush to seize all the food and drink. Things began looking up after that, though the humans were pissed.
I then had an idea. I had all this stone laying around outside from various projects and my stone catapults. I made Imush a mason and had him work on my castle scaffolding, building stone floors over my fort entrance.
See, Timad was hanging around my central stairway beating up a donkey. I knew that if I could trigger a cave in on the surface it would travel all the way down and kill him.
Fall came, and with it more migrants. I turned them all into masons and made the floor larger and larger. I then designated the floor connected it all to be removed. A brave butcher took on the job...and boy did the job take a long time...but eventually it collapsed.
AND IT FUCKING WORKED.
(Imush is the dead "H" resting against the caved in walls on towards the right)
I nearly screamed out in joy when it happened. The dust cleared and there was Timad's corpse next to a large pit that used to be my central stairway.
Everyone that used to be in my fort is dead. There are corpses literally lining the hallways, hospitals, and bedrooms. But this migrant wave gave me a dozen or so dwarves of varying professions.
We shall seal off the underground and we shall rebuild.
RIP these guys

Um. So, my dwarves are dying. Just plain dying. They're outside and they suddenly start bleeding all over the place, then I get "Dwarf Name has bled to death."
-
Weird rain bug that makes your dwarves melt.

He do know how to Dwarf Fortress works. He's been playing for about a year.
Edited:
Holy shit. Someone made a computer in DF.

holy shit

Where's the endless tape bit?
-
The Elves just brought me an "Oaken Mail Shirt".
How the fuck did they make that?
-
It took me a week to figure out how to find a good location, or to add new items to the embark list.
He doesn't know how to play, he's trying to say his inability to play is due to bugs.
-
Eeek! A grizzly bear came, bit the hand of my metalsmith/carpenterguy pushed him in a pond and left!.
Nooooo the miner was too late to rescue him :(.
Goddamn drunk bears! He just took 20 prickle berry wines!
And he came back for more food but this time there were a bunch of dogs around, 1 dog died but that fucker isn't gonna be drinking anymore.

New devlog

you're getting slow orky, that's been up for over an hour :P
-
My river carp can finally move :D.
And more like 2-3 hourish

I think it's Syphilis.
Someone get the Mercury!

Well, it looks like my efforts (ie: a few posts) worked. Someone made two of the Colossi from Shadow of the Colossus (albeit they are made entirely of granite). They are Kuromori, the Wall Shadow and Malus, the Grand Gigas. I can post the coding if anyone is interesting in test-driving them.
-
Created my first custom map.
HOLY SHIT, LOOK AT ALL THOSE MOUNTAINS :aaa:
-
Custom as in set parameters yourself? Or is there some kind of superdupereasy worldbuilderthing now?
-
It's a lot easier now, you just go to Design New World, and press e for advanced settings.
Just by setting Volcanoes to a min of 10, world stop to 500, and Minimum Elevation to 10, I managed to get a massive world composed of various mountains and rolling plains.
There are currently 40-50 Human towns as well, and almost equal amounts of Dwarf, Elf, and Goblin settlements :buddy:
-
That's because I don't visit it as often as before release.
-
So would that be teh awesome for making a cool adventure mode map? Or would it lag like shit with 200 towns/foresthomethings/fortresses
-
There are two clusters of Human towns which display every sign of being two separate nations, possibly being an Empire.
The Dwarves are clustered in the more major mountain ranges, while the Elves are almost exclusively found in an isolated area.
Goblins, however, are a different story. Goblin towers dot almost every large mountain range.
The thing took downright forever to create, (offloaded 20,600 units) but has a strong vibe of being an absolutely amazing map.
How do I upload the image of my map?

Is it just me or are berserk dwarves not so much of a problem any more? I just let a berserk fisherdwarf loose for shits and giggles, and all she's done so far is murdered her own child, killed a dog, wounded another, and picked a fight with the local legendary wood burner. Now she's shuffling around with busted knees and getting the shit kicked out of her by passersby.
I remember when berserk dwarves were close to demigods if they got loose, slaughtering everything in their path. Does anyone know if you can mod them to be more powerful?
