Dwarf Fortress v13 - Orkel looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible! - Games

[QUOTE=Unib5;29397841]I swear, I can never ever find any coal unless I'm extremely lucky, at best I may find iron ore, but it's useless until I can make a decent magma smelting system, which takes to navigate to magma safely, which I'd prefer to have my metal armour and weapons earlier on. Is there indicators as to where coal could be?[/QUOTE] Where there's magnetite, there's coal, or at the very least lignite. I've usually found coal in large amounts around heavily forested areas as well.

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;29397743]But the thing is, I don't know what to build, I can't make my dwarfs work, and somewhat unrelated, but there is this damn pike that keeps irritating one of my woodcutters by keeping him from drinking. He doesn't bother to move to the pool right next to him, he MUST drink from the one that has a pike in it.[/QUOTE] But but but. Dwarves drink... ALCOHOL MAN. Water makes them unhappy D:

[QUOTE=EcksDee;29398179]But but but. Dwarves drink... ALCOHOL MAN. Water makes them unhappy D:[/QUOTE] Huh. thats a good point, I didn't think of that, but I do have alcohol.

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;29397628]Hi, everyone, I've been trying to get into dwarf fortress for a while now, and I've succeeded! But, now that I have built a mostly self sufficient fort, I don't know what to do.[/QUOTE] build a megaproject. something as simple as a tower is a good start. then move on to the magma cannons and sea domes. i may try and work on the latter next.

Alcohol is better, it makes your dwarves work faster.

Someone just starved to death, but I have more plump helmets then they could ever eat. Hmm.

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;29399151]Someone just starved to death, but I have more plump helmets then they could ever eat. Hmm.[/QUOTE] Maybe they got bored of Plump Helmets or something? Or got stuck somewhere. I've never heard of a dorf dying because of eating the same shit though.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;29399177]Maybe they got bored of Plump Helmets or something? Or got stuck somewhere. I've never heard of a dorf dying because of eating the same shit though.[/QUOTE] Well, I don't think it would be because of lack of variety, because I have turtles and fish as well. [editline]24th April 2011[/editline] hey, what does purple expanding stuff mean? also, when I tell my dwarfs to build something, it never gets built, and when I press q over it, it says that the construction was suspended.

I`ve been thinking for quite a while now but When you make an iron spear, does that mean THE WHOLE SPEAR is made of iron?

Possession is a strange mood, they'll grab a workshop and demand items. then when they get them all they make an artifact. otherwise, they'll go insane.

Purple expanding stuff is miasma, rotting gases. Do you have a graveyard and a refuse pile? Otherwise dwarves will smell the miasma and get unhappy thoughts.

Construction Inactive means they won't deal with it until you enable it.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;29399375]Construction suspended just means they haven't gotten around to it yet. Construction Inactive means they won't deal with it until you enable it.[/QUOTE] You got those backwards. Suspended means they won't do it until they have a path to it / enable it / fix the problem that stops them from doing it, inactive means no one has just started the job.

Suspended means they won't do it until they have a path to it / enable it / fix the problem that stops them from doing it, inactive means no one has just started the job.[/QUOTE] So, I'm trying to build a butchers workshop, but it isn't being built because (and this is a quote from the game) needs butchery: small animal

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;29399393]You got those backwards.

When I make a construction, it shows as construction suspended until a dorf comes to build it. When I disable the construction it says inactive. What the fuck? I'm quite sure I'm not remembering wrong. Odd.

Are all the nobles broken? I've never got any and i'm sure i have fulfilled the requirements for atleast SOME of them. I've never even had a baron! Even with like 90 dwarves I've never even been able to pick an Arsenal Dwarf

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;29399502]So, I'm trying to build a butchers workshop, but it isn't being built because (and this is a quote from the game) needs butchery: small animal[/QUOTE] Someone needs the small animal dissection or butchery skills. Use Dwarf Therapist, it helps a lot.

I should start playing this again, last time I played my water pump 'exploded' and flooded my whole fortress drowning everyone. Good times

Anybody has the link to Orkel`s mod?

If the construction is somehow interrupted (creature on site, item on site, dorf scared by monster) it goes into [b]suspended[/b] mode, meaning you have to reenable it manually. That's the way it is with 100% probability, if it isn't then there's mistakes on your side. Perhaps you press [b]s[/b] after setting up the building site, this [b]suspends[/b] or [b]unsuspends[/b] the construction.

My king finally arrived :toot: now to get rid of him.
