not a dinosaur posted:I have a waterfall smack in the middle of my embark site. The river at the top is only one tile across, and it seems like sometimes one tile becomes empty of water due to the flow, at which point my dwarves decide they can cross it, which they are able to do with a ~50% success rate. Otherwise they fall to their death and drown. If Toady hasn't changed the UI since I played (which is likely) there's a pathing option you can setup under "d"esignations. If you set an area to forbidden dwarfs will see each tile as 25 units across for pathing considerations (or more if you change the init). In the end you'll want to build a wall but until then forbidding that area should make the dwarfs reconsider walking over the area of there's a shorter path available.

Grittybeard posted:I remember reading a trick in the last thread just a few days ago where you could force the liaison interaction without removing labors or waiting for breaks/sleeping/whatever to end. Does that still work and what was it since I've forgotten? Yep, still works, I was using it just last night. After the first liaison screen pops up and you dismiss it, bring up the 'd'esignation menu, and then use your mouse (not the keyboard!) to designate any area for something. Even designating open area for removal of designations works. Just click and wave the mouse around and as good as immediately, the next screen will pop up. Repeat this process until the entire thing is done, and voila! Liaison discussions completed in under 20 seconds of real time, and about 0.000002 seconds of game time.

not a dinosaur posted:I know about traffic designations, but even setting it as restricted won't solve the problem if it's the only way to cross the river. Alkydere posted:there's a pathing option you can setup under "d"esignations See any problem with your suggestion? Yes, the only way to prevent dwarves from attempting to travel across something is to physically block the path off with a couple of walls. Providing a safe crossing and using traffic designations to make the safe crossing much more likely to be used could also work, but is of course not entirely guaranteed to work.

Is it just me or does my demigod adventure mode characters seem to slow down as time goes on, even without injury? The speed starts out at 1618, then it may go down to 15xx, then down to 11xx, then down to 10xx, then down to 8xx, before long my first encounter with normal enemies will result in them running circles around me. I'm not getting injured or even drowsy, hungry, or thirsty.

I assigned all my children to a burrow so they'd stop following their parents around, but one kid got possessed and claimed an outside craftwarves shop. He wants gems, rocks and metal bars, but I don't have any metal bars. So I'm taking advantage of the glitch with burrows to stop him going mad, (He'll just keep collecting from the burrow he's assigned to, forever, until I move the burrow over him or unassign him) so he's just collecting stones until I get a trade caravan. He's up to 7 pages of stones so far, whatever this thing is gonna be once it's made, it'll be worthy of the term "artifact" vvv I really should, I was trying to find magma, but 150 levels and I haven't hit it yet...

Why not dig down for metal and use some charcoal to make a bar? The promise of metal artifacts is always something I jump at.

Apparently a giant louse is a huge beast, because I just had an epic battle with one. He put up a good fight (until I knocked his rear end to the ground, at which point he wasn't much of a threat) but he was no match for my war hammer.....and my teeth, apparently. Except now I have his ichor in my mouth, that's disgusting. But apparently I don't give a poo poo.

I just had my miner accidentally burrow himself into empty space and break his leg and arm. It was something like this: code:Anyway, the thing that amazes me about this is that he went to bed, the doctor treated him, splinted him, and now he's up and crutching his way about the fort doing his jobs again. I know this was probably completely functional versions ago, but this is really the first time I've had an invalid ACTUALLY still do work, instead of sit around being REST all the time.

So i started a new game, embarked on a fun place. Paused the game, and started designating some places to mine. Of course a entrance, some storage room, a place for the (future) military,a main hall and a bit of this and that. I look at the time again, and realise a couple of hours have passed. And i haven't even unpaused the game! Does anyone else have this problem?

Oh, also, on that note: it appears that if you have a mining designation, and a dwarf picks that job so the tile starts flashing yellow? De-designating (i.e. attempting to cancel the job) will not work, and the tile will get excavated anyhow. Designations that have not yet been claimed as an active job can still be cancelled as usual though.

Imapanda posted:Can dwarves not wear any type of 'Large' armor? I'm roaming about as an adventurer and I can't seem to equip anything labeled as 'large'. Large armor is human-sized. Unfortunately, all the interesting sites in adventurer mode are human cities, so you're not going to find armor sized for dwarves unless you invade a night creature's lair or something. Or kill some other dwarves or goblins who are wearing armor.

Aaaargh, I don't get Toady's logic. I'm trying to make pseudo magic spells with the new syndrome system, but I can't figure out a way to make buffs work. I figured it would be as simple as defining that only the creature casting the spell could be affected by it. I thought a syndrome wouldn't do anything to a creature that is neither immune nor affected by it, but apparently the game defaults to having them get it. And there's no easy way to make all those other creature immune without making the caster themselves immune as well. What's the point of even having the affected token if it doesn't actually matter  EDIT: Actually on reflection I must be missing something since gnomeblight only affects gnomes but doesn't have any immune tags.
