Vander posted:Been playing this for years, and I still have never used the original tile set. Anyone else like that? Can we get an updated startup guide to tiles? I love the default, but I have it as a 12x12 tileset. The wiki has a huge list of tilesets. I think Jolly is my favorite tileset outside of the default.

Hot Sexy Jupiter posted:But at least with those things they just add extra detail or challenge to the game. Superfluous or overly difficult perhaps (I had elephants on my previous embark site and I never had trouble with them personally), but not especially egregious. Tying up containers full of stuff other dwarves need just to fetch one item seems like a really bad design decision, full stop. Yes?  Welcome to Dwarf Fortress.

scamtank posted:Metal clothes only work by kind of accident right now. The ELASTICITY_WOVEN_THREAD tag that all ordinary clothes have caps the garment material's shear strength values to 20,000 yield and 30,000 break, only marginally stronger than bare skin. I would read it. By the way, no fun text in the thread name? I was hoping Dwarf Fortress: A section of the thread has collapsed! would make a comback.

That's a lot to process. Does that mean I would be better off with metal clothing than armor in some cases?

Alexzandvar posted:It depends on how angry/reactive your local elven population is. So it's a hit or miss if you get a siege. I just have really lovely luck when it comes to not pissing off elves. I much prefer this than rigid conditions where something happens everytime given the player's identical input.

steinrokkan posted:So in short the adventure mode would be much better if it were plausible to sustain oneself on wildlife while progressively making your way through missions. As it is the AM is nigh unplayable. I thought you could butcher wild animals and cook their meat on a campfire. What I didn't like was being hungry/thirsty but too full to eat/drink.

Found the perfect dragon to slay. Mistrum. The very last female dragon in the world, though there are still a few males out. 500 years in, hundreds of notable kills. Associated with wealth and fire. By killing the last female, I can personally guarantee the end of the dragons.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I'm still not sure if you're kidding or not. Oh, I don't know. Some of these will be neat. Megabeasts occupying civ sites. Reclaiming sites from them with your adventurer. Civs building sites after worldgen. Site claiming. Fleeing commanders try to return to their camps. Patrols that raise alarms. Anything Entity Group or Heritage related. That's just stuff related to the living world. There's lots of neat poo poo. Though I'm not so keen that it took two years for this update. Makes me worry about future releases.

chiefnewo posted:For some reason I want to see if it is possible to build a road across the world by starting and retiring forts all along it. Each fort builds a patch of the road as far as they can and is then retired, the new fort starting up right next to them to continue it. It won't appear as a road on the map, nor would it be perfect because you can't build on the map edge, so there will be a blank couple tiles along the road every map site distance. It sounds amazingly  to have wanted to do that at all considering the size of the world and how long dwarves take to actually build poo poo.

Zereth posted:You can build roads on the map edge, I think. Maybe also floors. Hm. I was extrapolating from a question I had years ago about using two forts to create a bridge across a sea that was narrow enough to only cover two map sites. Maybe that would make a viable bridge now that we can jump.

Wait for a while, then get stuck in. cheesetriangles posted:That sounds kinda disappointing. On the other hand, it's really cool that I can find specific people/places/events without having to have a copy of the world running legends in the side. I can just ask people where things are and they'll either tell me or guide me. Conversation is my favorite feature so far. It feels a lot more organic than it used to be. What's the command to climb in Adventure mode?

I haven't seen many opinions on trees in .40, but I think they look absolutely great. Maarak posted:Is that an antarctic volcano in the SW? Oh man, it is. The problem with that world was that I was just testing some population numbers after my custom world always had one or two sentient species getting wiped out within the first hundred years. That world had all the boring/not-fun stuff like bogeymen, low megabeast numbers, etc so I didn't bother keeping it.

Dungeon Ecology posted:Has there been a Phoebus tileset released for 40.03? I'm getting pretty tired of losing every fortress to a crash during the first 30 minutes. I don't understand how those two things are connected. But yes. dragon_pamcake posted:I lost an entire year's progress to a crash today. I am well aware it is my own stupid fault, but I'm switching back to Masterwork for now. Autosave spoils me. This is why I don't make the meeting hall the crossroads of the fort and make extensive use of doors as vision blockers so I can get dwarves moved where I need them during an emergency.

I absolutely hate bogeyman as they currently exist. They only bother you if you're alone at night in adventure mode and there are seemingly an unlimited source of them and it's impossible to deal with them without literally fighting all night or managing to find an "indoors" without the help of quick travel. I wish Toady would rework them to somehow be interesting and not a roadblock... and then take another look at Aquifers while he's at it. Until then, I'll just keep modding both out of my worlds.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of Legends mode. Just generated this world. Isle of Man up there in the north-west. Civilized World Population (year 220) 1 Dwarf 25631 Humans 29880 Goblins Total: 55512 My worldgen settings only get what I'm expecting a fraction of the time. Entire species probably get lost from my abundance of megabeasts... but even under the best circumstances, I get merely dozens of Kobolds. I don't see an option in advanced world generation parameters to make Kobolds more prolific. Is there anything I can change there without going into the raws?
