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

[Xed]

oh. herp derp, yea. shame. I never got to mine under an human town and then collapse it.

[Trooth]

I think the adamantine in my fort is un-obtainable... I would dig into it from above, but two spaces above the magma sea is a water sea. If I dig in the area right above the magma sea, I hit warm stones. If I dig two spaces above the magma sea, I hit damp stones. There doesn't seem to be any place that totally lacks both water and magma.

Pumps.

[Trooth]

Wouldn't it take ages to drain an ocean? Where could I even move the water?

[ElTacolad]

Collapse stuff into it and dig down through that?

[Trooth]

I just made another realization... There is a SECOND ocean right above the other one. I can't get a break with this shit.

[Seiteki]

Just an old comic.

It's funny because I finally understand it now. :v:

[Nitrowing]

Is the giant man with the leaf crotch supposed to be a bronze colossus? If not, that's a pretty freaky FB.

Drain it into the magma sea, It's standard practice really.

[Xera]

You can drain stuff off the edge of the map. Dig to it and then smooth and carve fortifications into the edge. Water will then flow off. Yeah it's cheating but what else are you supposed to do with it?

Or this.. if you can get to the magma at all you can dump some into the water to create obsidian and then mine into that.

[Devodiere]

What do you think would be more effective; to make a militia and keep those in it training non-stop so they are excellent fighters or to rotate who is in the militia so that most dwarfs have a decent fighting skill and if the fortress is in trouble, can be conscripted as good fighters to boost the military strength?

As long as you rotated them enough their skills wouldn't get to very rusty and effectively more than half of the fortress would be fighters with only a small amount in the militia at any given time.

[Xed]

I dig the name of this one. Value of 134400 dwarf monies. Not the highest in the fort I think, the statue that it mentions I believe is.

My favorite song for DF

[Sax]

I tend to listen to this while I play DF, it's not the most fitting song in melody. But the lyrics fits, at least for me :v:.

[Giraffen93]

Reading about DF on TvTropes, it just seems so fun, but i can't understand shit. Downloading a newb pack, i'll see if i can get into it this time.

[jiggu]

Just got assaulted by a cyclops, i thought I was fucked. This happens:

Yesterday I managed to lock a forgotten beast up in the caverns that spawned it, it butchered all of the batmen the caves contained.
Planning on sending a few squads down to kill it once I've a proper equipment.

It's a hadrosaurus with deadly spittle.

[Pokey McFork]

Forgotten beasts made of tasty, tasty meat really aren't that much of a problem, neither are the non-solid ones.

If it's inorganic, then you might have a bit of a problem.

Fresh cavern potatoes right here:

Somehow, the in-game song never seems to get repetitive for me.

[Zezibesh]

It has an annoying buzzing sound in the background that stops me from listening to it

Feel free to message me on steam if you have any questions. I'm awake at seemingly random periods of the day, due to my awful sleep cycle.

And yes, the default music in the game is hypnotic to me. Why? Because I left it on for a full 39 hours in a row of playing this game when I finally figured out how to play. Now it's like a hardened piece of my brain.

Best part is that everyone is very friendly here :buddy: They have helped me lots and lots of times.

[Devodiere]

What's a favourite among the tilesets? I don't feel like looking at the ASCII anymore and the OP doesn't have any listed.

[GeneralFredrik]

I had built a path straight down to find magma and after I had found the magma, I pierced the edge so I poked a hole into the lava sea.

Now my fps is at an constant 13.

What do I do now? ;_;

[Giraffen93]

Eh, i gave up again, i understand NOTHING. If it had mouse support it would have been hella easier.
