scamtank posted:Yeah, it's an enormous waste. You'd have to be drunk and mad to do so. Nobody asked if it was a sane thing to do, though! I know that my one unskilled dwarf who wore an adamantine cloak (made by accident) survived what his legendary bronze wearing buddies didn't. He had a ton of injuries dorfs usually get when fighting enemies armed with blunt weapons, but nothing of the choppy sort, even though he fought sword dudes. Could be an accident, but I doubt it.

Splode posted:I stopped doing a central stairwell once I started building forts with controllable secure water supplies. One stairwell is a huge problem when you've accidentally started flooding your fortress as it can be tricky to isolate. Hatches. Hatches are a lifesaver.

Met posted:Does opening a hatch slow down travel time? I think not. Just like doors don't slow dwarves down either. However, they're much sturdier since nothing can open locked hatches from below.

Flesh Forge posted:It's just crazy that Today sits there and watches people hack all this poo poo out through memory editing while stubbornly keeping his source code to himself. What the gently caress. A combination of the game being his life's work and not wanting anyone to take it from him, and a bunch of idiots asking him "Will the source code be released if you happen to, say, die in a traffic accident?" until he included a clause in his testament saying that DF source code will only be released if he dies of natural causes.

The UI is the least important thing because that's something someone other than Toady can do. The living world, on the other hand, is the most amazing new development since DF went 3d.

UltraShame posted:Will my stupid dwarves trigger their own traps or do they only fire on enemies? i.e.: Do I have to set up a different trap-laden entrance to entice enemies into, or can I just trap my existing main entrance? Only if they get knocked out while standing on them. Or if they fall asleep on one, as I find out the hard way. But that almost never happens. Almost.

14 brains = 14 weight units of brains, not 14 brains. (In case of eyes, there are 4 individual eyes for the 2 heads, so it can't go below 4 units, but they're below maximum unit weight)

tinkerttoy posted:I slaughtered a palace for no particular reason, then came back with my next adventurer. Every member of the new guard was inexplicably a wrestler. Is that supposed to happen? Wrestling is the default skill of useless new recruits. It basically means that the guards are conscripts from the civilian populace and don't have a clue about fighting.

Fuligin posted:It used to be that only elves could eat other sentient creatures, and it was the general casus belli for the other races exterminating them. I wonder what changed. In adventure mode at least I've found it a good strategy to always grab one companion in the beginning, bring them out into the wilderness, and then kill and butcher them for enough meat to last you at least two or three weeks. You can harvest leaves and berries from bushes. Some of them are edible and weigh almost nothing at all. I found enough bitter leaf to provid a month's worth of food for less weight than a single meal of meat. my dad fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jul 12, 2014 |

delboy posted:Is bronze armour the highest tier found lying around the world? I haven't yet come across anything besides that and copper. I'm considering creating a fort simply to kit my next adventurer out, but i'd prefer it if there was a less cheaty way. You can find iron fairly regularly, particularly if you reduce mineral scarcity in worldgen.

Danny Glands posted:Assuming that 40.04 won't break saves, I will start the DF14 succession fort tomorrow-ish. Patience, patience. Wait until there's a week without any new major gamebreaking bugs reported. The worst ending to an LP is a crash to desktop. Don't count on Toady preserving save compatibility until this happens.

Michaellaneous posted:Has anyone a good working optimization plan for dwarf therapist? If yes, would you share? Try Lagrange multipliers first. If the problem is too complex, try a particle swarm or two. Combine it with a genetic algorithm if that fails. If the problem is beyond that, you'll have to resort to model predictive control.

Boing posted:New necks are weird and break my immersion in adventurer mode whenever I sever someone's neck and it goes flying away in an arc. Has anyone gone fiddling with the body definition raws to make it make a little more sense? I've played with creature definitions but the body ones always confused me. It's called a "neck" but there's actually a head attached to it. It's just named that way due to how the game sees body parts. If you butcher it, you will get a skull.
