Dwarf Fortress - The New Version Thread! - Games

Hey guys, I'm a lazy dick so would anyone be so kind to tell me in how many days/weeks/months/years the new version is estimated to arrive?

[QUOTE=Hamsterman;20451757]Hey guys, I'm a lazy dick so would anyone be so kind to tell me in how many days/weeks/months/years the new version is estimated to arrive?[/QUOTE] Ah, a page in this thread wouldn't be complete without one of these posts :v: Nice to see you back, Hamsterman. Well, somebody estimated February 28 I think (tomorrow) and Toady replied, "Yeah, somewhere around there.", so it may be this week, if not this week, next week.

Anywhere from a couple of days to a month, really.

[QUOTE=Thorny;20451848]Anywhere from a couple of days to a month, really.[/QUOTE] I hope it's not the latter though :|

[QUOTE=Hamsterman;20451757]Hey guys, I'm a lazy dick so would anyone be so kind to tell me in how many days/weeks/months/years the new version is estimated to arrive?[/QUOTE] No idea to be honest. Toady's estimates vary wildly. [quote=Toady]So, would April be sad? Yeah! Is it also possible, even if I don't get really sick again? Yeah! It would still be sad though.[/quote] [editline]04:35PM[/editline] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=20414625&postcount=956[/url]

[QUOTE=Parakon;20443243]how do i forbid barrels for booze? my fortress is about to die of thirst and these assholes are putting plant seeds in them[/QUOTE] I usually just make two food stockpiles, one solely for booze and the other solely for food, if your low on barrels you can just set the food stockpile to not use any barrels. Of course that means your food stockpile will have to be allot bigger.

My Dwarves dig up a thousand rubies, sometimes more. [editline]12:21PM[/editline] But in all honesty, I embarked on a location where they have more rubies then I've ever seen. I mean, [I]2 Star Ruby clusters in one bauxite vein[/I], so I have at least 4-5 star ruby clusters alone, with at least 30 ruby and 20 sapphire clusters.

Why the fuck can't I engrave on built walls? :colbert:

It's not possible :(

[QUOTE=Thorny;20452772]It's not possible :([/QUOTE] I never understood why it wasn't possible actually.

Rapture won't be as fucking fancy now as I had imagined. Fucking hell :argh:

All hope is lost. A Skeletal Giant Eagle came into the fortress, it ripped off the left leg of my planter, killing him, then ripped off [I]both arms to the shoulders[/I] of one of my miners. So we lost our only planter, lost one of our only miners (he's just a stub), and we're still in mid-spring.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;20450666]What are you all most excited about for the new version? I'm looking forward to the new medical/military system and caverns the most :v:[/QUOTE] I don't know about you guys, but that arena mode sounds pretty sweet. Setting up various battles was one of the things I did most in Gmod, so it'll probably keep me entertained for hours in DF 5555th post

I'd be forced to do horribly-mismatched fights. Like a Titan vs. a Kobold Snatcher. Or a Mammoth vs. a berserking dwarf. :v:

[QUOTE=Zatharon;20452856]I never understood why it wasn't possible actually.[/QUOTE] Because Toady wasn't sure how. This is a cave wall. [img]http://a2.vox.com/6a00b8ea06741adece00e39898ae620002-500pi[/img] This is a constructed wall (I think) [img]http://patricklynch.net/glass-house-tour/graphics/stone-wall-glass-house.jpg[/img] How would you engrave that?

Like this? [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/n6qrr6.jpg[/IMG] I've imagined the constructed walls to be, well, constructed, like a brick wall or so.

You should be able to engrave walls made of blocks, but not one's made of normal stone.

My birthday is tommorow, this would be a pretty sweet present.

...... Dwarf fortress is free

[QUOTE=Ordinos;20455224]...... Dwarf fortress is free[/QUOTE] It can still be considered a present though. Presents are free.

I abandoned my fortress because it was going too well, started a new one near an ocean. Haven't started digging yet, but apparently there's an aquifer. Forgot to bring any stone. Should be fun. [editline]09:49PM[/editline] Well, it seems like the aquifer is really there, it also seems that it covers the entire map (except maybe under the ocean), I'm just mot sure how deep it is...

This game is a bit complicated...

[QUOTE=Hypershadsy;20456804]This game is a bit complicated...[/QUOTE] Once you understand it, it's really not complicated at all.

This spot is depressing, it rains all the time and there's no stone available except for two conglomerate ramps just to discourage me. [editline]10:24PM[/editline] And to make it even worse, the wiki is down as well... [editline]10:26PM[/editline] And a raccoon has stolen my only rope...

I found new interest in Dwarf Fortress by playing the "Dig Deeper" mod. Now there's actually a challenge. I've lost 17 dwarves to orcs and dark elves and 3 of them champions. Without the mod, armored champions are almost indestructible. Oh, and 1 champion is missing a leg and has been resting for a few years.

[QUOTE=Orkel;20449104]I don't think you can. The d## series are basically betas for OpenGL DF, so they have their share of problems.[/QUOTE] You have to change around the hotkeys. See, the hotkey for the grate is the same as the one for the bridge, so it just shows the grate.

[QUOTE=Parakon;20458181]how do I do that?[/QUOTE] Go into the stockpile settings and make it allow whatever you want in that single stockpile, and not take in anything you don't want. It's something like p > s or something.
