If only Toady implemented the ability to name things other than dwarves! Well... you can name dormitories, too. Would you prefer to be a dormitory instead of a dwarf?

Triskelli posted:

Considering how these LPs go, we'll probably wind up having to collapse the dormitory onto the Forgotten Beast of the Week.

_{Note to self: create hanging dormitories during overseer turn.}

Based on the screenshots in the OP, I put this together.



Wagon is at normal color, down is darker, up is lighter. If I had higher-res screenshots, I would gladly do this again, or in the future as the fortress grows. Of course, this only works for above-ground features.

Although I bet I could use dfhack to do this automatically, unless there's already a similar tool out there...

Bad Munki posted:

Yeah, sorta. It was a demo video that wasn't actually functional, but showed "here's what it could look like." Sorta like those UI mockups people do from time to time.

So I made a thing, its a bit rough, and some of the trees may be flying, but its good enough to show.





Then again, I've not touched my 3D Modelling program in about 2 years.

I think it's time to think outside that box. If we can't make it safe to go to the water, then we'll have to make the water come to the dwarves. I think it's time for Projct: Pond Create

Just channel out a litte passage which connects up to a man made pond which is on safe ground, and before you know it, you'll have a nice place full of turtles that is safe from evil mists. I can taste the yummy turtle tripe bickies already.

Agreed.

Heck, if you make one for each of the gods, I'll give you one as an avatar.

They....are?

That's it, I'm monetizing my Youtube account and switching WITP to daily video updates.

Let the money roll!

For this particular turn, I'm requesting that the overseer have significant experience with the current version of Dwarf Fortress (for probably obvious reasons).

Locked doors, perhaps?

Was the previous update not a real update? I thought it was.

Hokay, I have something small to show for what I've done so far

There's one thing less deadly than wood: a cotton candy blunt weapon, which has a density not unlike styrofoam.

And if we get 10,000 supporters, there's a chance for an official Dwarf Fortress Lego set (like that Minecraft set).

Good to see that my lack of empathy and poor understanding of social situations doesn't get in the way of my enjoying them.

I think dwarf me is going to grow up to be one of those people who blathers on and on about their favourite subject. I hope you all like hearing about voracious cave crawlers!

Edit that out, man! I didn't know until now!

A nice slow mauling ending in death is the best outcome from a were* attack. If the attack doesn't kill the victim can turn into a were* later, in the middle of your dining room or hospital. If the were kills too quickly, it will move on to kill more dwarfs. With a werething you really want him to take his time, savor the moment.

Perhaps it could adopt itself.

And each mode would get angrier at every transformation due to the loss of the other.

So calm the hell down, I'm not going to be keeping the save for more than the end of this week. Renaming dorfs now, working on shiz, expect update by late tonight.

It is here, in Bronzestabbed, that we will build again. Another temple must be erected, larger than before. Across the river, to the north.

Into the breath of Ugath.

Leperflesh posted:

Thank you, Bene. This is a major factor in why I came up with the current scheme. I want to encourage "new blood". I want Overseers who are ready to play now, hence the business with signing up right when it's time to hand off a save, and I want everyone to have a fair chance, hence the random selection from among those. I don't just want a popularity contest.

This is an experiment, of course, and it might not work out. But let's give it a good shot, and that means we don't panic as soon as one or two goons show up that we're not familiar with.
