How do you check the value/description of a masterful item?

How do you do anything :v:

[QUOTE=gufu;27888523]How do you check the value/description of a masterful item?[/QUOTE] Select the item with k and press enter.

Migrants are attracted to success, and smoothed stone and valuables means success in the eyes of those psychotic midgets.

alright thanks, i'm up to step 7 or 8 of that noobie tutorial and i was just about to smooth and carve the dining room what do you mean by valuables?

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;27853780]From what I remember Toady saying about Dwarf Fortress: No airships, no gunpowder, ships will be included.[/QUOTE] Wait, so he said that ships WILL be included?

[QUOTE=TrulliLulli;27898782]alright thanks, i'm up to step 7 or 8 of that noobie tutorial and i was just about to smooth and carve the dining room what do you mean by valuables?[/QUOTE] Make stone crafts. Make stone crafts and don't look back.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;27898872]Wait, so he said that ships WILL be included?[/QUOTE] Ships will, yes, in the far future. First will come the siege engines for siegers though, so they can break through walls and stuff.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;27898937]Make stone crafts. Make stone crafts and don't look back.[/QUOTE] Don't forget to make some wooden crossbows and bolts, then use the bones and skin from your hunters for more crafts.

My fortress is flooded with stray animals. I think there's more stray cats, dogs, and donkeys in my fortress than dwarves. Is this a potential problem, or should i just not worry about it?

your computer is going to melt

There is a grate, right on top of a ramp. And Dwarf can't get it, to finish my channel. Damn it.

The concept of a U-Pipe doesn't apply in dorfs because of dorven physics, right?

How the hell am I supposed to gain exported wealth?

Add me to the list of players :v:

[QUOTE=nmagain;27913063]How the hell am I supposed to gain exported wealth?[/QUOTE] By both giving gifts, and buying goods with items more valuable then the ones you are buying. Like if I bought 10 barrels of Ale for a total of $100, and I traded an Adamantine Longsword at $12,000 in return, I would have an import wealth of $100 and an export wealth of $12,000.

So their friends threw tantrums and killed some other dwarves so their friends and family threw more tantrums killing even more dwarves then 3 dwarves went beserek and killed 13 dwarves...and it went on, lowering my population from 148 to 53 and decreasing. [editline]7th February 2011[/editline] Should I abandon the fortress?

those guys are not killing each other and are barricaded in? they are the guardians of %fortress_name%.

These guardians shall maintain the fortress until the outpost liaison comes by to purge any offenders outside, clearing the way for new colonists. only then can these heroes rest easy.

I'm confused about trading. I have my broker in the depot and I can see the items the elves will sell to me, but there aren't any items I can sell to the elves. I have a store room filled with metal, gems, and food, so why doesn't any of it show up?

Woops. No I didn't. Thanks.

-Snip- I figured it out, so never mind.

I [I]forgot[/I] to close the doors. And an ambush came and destroyed my strengths.

[QUOTE=Dark Kite;27937178]You spoke like a true Dwarf Fortress player, so coldly logical and efficient in creating wealth you'd murder and skin your own huntsdwarves.[/QUOTE] Well, yeah. Your hunters would go out and try to shoot a herd of elephants to death and get stomped. Then, with a little modding, you will be able to make a loss a gain by butchering the dead hunter!

Oh boy! I've hit my very first tantrum spiral! I was attacked by two goblin ambushes in a row. I only lost two or three dwarves, which considering it was my first attack, I thought I did pretty well. The dwarves do not agree. I'm just waiting for one of my Hammerdwarves to go berserk and just end it. At least that would be a fun end, like my first fortress.
