My amazing excellent waterfall forest has no iron ore that I can find. ANd it's an otherwise perfect area, tooo :c
Nevermind I am retarded
I need some help with dfhack (and masterwork). I embarked with a male and female changeling pair, and male changelings are immobile. Is there a way to forcibly move a creature to a different tile? I just don't want my only changeling to be sitting out in the open where my cart used to be.
Use a pasture and designate it as being in that pasture. Dwarves will forcibly haul animals to pastures.

Actually it's funny, because the animals will try to still move around. So sometimes dwarves will actually lose progress on hauling because the animal moved away.
I had a strange dream about DF last night...
I was sleeping in my bed when someone started knocking on my door. I just sat there waiting and when it opened it and it was Tarn Adams with a large box. He asked me where one of my friends was who I haven't seen in like 5 years. I stepped out and saw my roommates were all playing warhammer or something and Tarn told me he wanted to deliver this box to that friend who happened to be at my house and standing right next to us. I looked inside and it was full of drawings and had bags of candy so I handed it to my friend and that was the end of the dream.
Hopefully this is some kind of happy premonition of the soon to release DF.

Forgot to post this a while ago, my dwarf made a recursive bracelet:

trying to download that stonesense overlay starterpack r59 to bring myself back to the game
anyone got an actual working link, apparently uploading it to a website that doesn't suck chodes is difficult
nevermind, got it
I managed to catch a minotaur, how do I weaponize it?
Put it in a cage out front, link it to a lever, then when an invasion comes you let it loose.

The overlay isn't worth it imo. I don't see the appeal with using it over the standard stonesense on the left, DF on the right.
[editline]23rd June 2014[/editline]
went back to a fort I was just playing around with and realized the stonesense visualization of it is really satisfying so I'm playing it for a bit.

As a method to combat the ever growing undead outside my walls, I decided fuck this shit I was gonna danger room some supersoldiers
This resulted in eight deaths, two hospitalizations, and a serious toning down of the danger rooms
The new Treaties of Deifying, Stoppedclasp's finest sons, shall soon step through the outer gate, and either free us all from the eternal scourge, or die trying

Did you forget to armour them or did you use non-training spears?
[QUOTE=wallyroberto_2;45203445]Did you forget to armour them or did you use non-training spears?[/QUOTE]
Training spears were used but for whatever reason, most of the idiots didn't have their armor on
Lots of work with the uniforms menu later and the new recruits survived the reworked danger room with only moderate bruising
Those lines about the mayor head-stabbing is hilarious.
Dwarf fortress has made me do strange things lately.
Like hammer away at this exported legends-processor to make it not error any more. For 7 hours.
Or just sit there reading the wiki while occasionally tab back to the embark planner, looking over the available sites.
oh man, i can actually play fort mode now
this is really fun

its not too complex after all, its just the wiki makes it seem like theres a fuckton to do to get started when theres only a couple steps

That's what I tell everyone when they start out. You really only need a farm and some beds and you can last for a good while. Well, until the wildlife/sieges/tantrum spirals/FBs/etc. get you.

non-training spear danger rooms are how legends are born. Training spears are for baby's first danger room. Real dorfs train in steel spear danger room.

I killed my whole militia once using real spears, they were all inadequate
You gotta put them in a training spear room for a couple months first, then promote them to steel spear duty.
hm, i cant find iron? what z level do i have to be on to find it?
[editline]1st July 2014[/editline]
i did embark with an area with shallow and deep metals so it should be there

Doesn't always have it, unfortunately.
You could use the DFHack prospect command to see what metals are where.
In my experience, embarks with flux stone have a better chance of containing iron ores than embarks with deep and shallow metal, and stone type has a lot more to do with it than Z-level
Update next week
[QUOTE=Toady]The game is coming out next week! Soon you will get to join us in the living hell of debugging this monster. I'm only sort of playing! Almost everything about dwarf behavior had to be changed for this release, so literally every aspect of the game is crawling with bugs. We didn't wait this long because we hate you! We just wanted to get rid of the most soul-crushing bugs so you could join us in perfecting this creation without pulling out all of your hair! Thank you for sticking around. We could not do this without your help.
Congratulations to the generous![/QUOTE]
