All this talk of Adamantium tissues reminds me of that one fucking badass story where that dwarf got turned into an indestructible adamantium walking skeleton or something. Had all his skin melted off by a megabeast but kept on fighting due to his tendons and bones being adamantium or some shit. God I love this game.

[QUOTE=WastedJamacan;45488543]Merchants will still unload their goods, however.[/QUOTE] If they have pack animals, yes. But dwarves don't use pack animals, so the dwarven caravan won't come if it's blocked. The liaison still will.

I have generated a world with only kobolds, gnomes, and goblins and massive amounts of Megabeasts and Titans and such. This will be [URL="http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Losing"]fun[/URL].

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;45488651]If they have pack animals, yes. But dwarves don't use pack animals, so the dwarven caravan won't come if it's blocked. The liaison still will.[/QUOTE]Yes they do. Dwarves use both pack animals and wagons depending on what they're transporting. I've observed that if you request a shit ton of heavy things like stones and logs there will be more pack animals, oddly enough, probably because the pack animals carry the regular goods while the wagons carry the heavy stuff. Elves are the only nation to have never ever used wagons. Pack animals are universal, but dwarves rarely use them because everything normally fits onto three wagons. It's been this way for as long as I can remember, though it would be fucking [i]great[/i] if there was that bug from like 2007 that made wagon pullers also be pack animals. Caravans would show up and you'd get this massive fucking list of items that you could claim using various bugs and exploits.

My wagon is deconstructed, I'm in my second year and missed the second caravan. I don't know where my first axe went. It's [I]gone.[/I] But good suggestion, I'll find something else I can deconstruct.

I have this problem where Dwarf Fortress just can't load up a generated world, it just grinds to a halt when loading the last part (I think) It loads fine on my girlfriends laptop though which is no where near as powerful so I don't get it. Also the starter pack launcher comes up with an error, it lets me continue but It doesn't show any mods in the list.

At any rate, you only have 1 axe so it'll be accurate if he's done his job at all. Go to your stocks screen to make sure it's not forbidden and actually still on your map. [editline]25th July 2014[/editline] And then you can set to dump from the same screen so if it's on a reachable tile your dwarves will grab it and haul it to your quantum stockpile.

Whenever a Kobold caravan leaves my fort it registers the traders as thieves, so every item they carry with them floods my announcements (and soundsense) with news of EVERY item that was stolen.

The hospitals have a tendency to do that.

Do cooks get mad when people eat their masterpiece meals?

Okay, I'm trying to train a raccoon. Its not working. My animal trainer just ignores the fucking thing. He has NO other jobs. He's only an animal trainer. Its uncaged, 'trained,' and in a training zone, yet he won't do anything.

[QUOTE=Jrose14;45502126]Do cooks get mad when people eat their masterpiece meals?[/QUOTE] Mine don't, but they churn out so many masterpiece meals it might just not make a difference.

So I had an interesting thing happen just now. Let me start off by saying that I've become somewhat of an expert at controlled demolitions in Dwarf Fortress. I can even get the dust to spray in such a way that dwarves get injured only so much so they can be healed to train my medical team. Still, this is Dwarf Fortress and things do not always go according to plan, in fact, plans usually have to conform to whatever the game throws at you. So I was collapsing a magnificently designed structure that would, in theory, injure eight dwarves with severe injuries from falling three z-levels but would not out-right kill them. This was a simple endeavor and everything should have happened exactly like it happened all the other times I did it, except this time was special. One of my dwarves, a stalwart hammerer who was honing his JUSTICE ARMS in the mines happened to be walking by. Bashing in rocks like the skulls of dwarven criminals can work up one hell of a thirst, you know. Unfortunately for Kol Telingathel he chose the exact moment the Mine Collapse and Dust Projection Simulator was activated and he too got to experience that wild ride known as Fun. Unlike most who would slam into the nearby cliff and promptly die from having their guts forced out of their anuses, Kol was special. Kol didn't die, he didn't even hit the cliff, but instead he was cast up on to the watch tower's roof that happened to be [i]on top of the cliff.[/i] In case that wasn't clear: cave dust threw my hammerer eleven z-levels up and ten tiles to the west, and he's perfectly unharmed aside from a bruised hand.
