[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;45673395]This guy makes some depressing comics. [url]http://threepanelsoul.com/2014/06/30/night-terrors/[/url][/QUOTE] They can, yeah. There's been more comics like that since Ian became a dad, but most of the more sad comics are from Matt. [editline]12th August 2014[/editline] Well, sad but also funny. Funny in a sad way. Matt's a pretty good writer.
It's been more than a year since I played, lets see how rusty I've gotten.
[QUOTE=Mr. N;45680245]It's been more than a year since I played, lets see how rusty I've gotten.[/QUOTE] Rustier than a goblin's shitty dagger/butter knife.
So one of my dogs ravaged a leopard without being touched. I take this as a blessing from the god of blood.
Has anyone actually gotten fresh sieges after migrating their save? I'd rather know if I need to abandon my fortress BEFORE I commit to building a 100+ level magma pump.
Fucking Werelizard came up, barged a dwarf into a volcano, followed a woman and child into a tree, beat the shedorf to death, and then eviscerated and strangled the baby to death in a pool of his mother's blood. Dorfy. [editline]14th August 2014[/editline] I tried to execute a human by throwing him into a volcano, but he got away, got mauled by dogs, and now the dude who led him out of his cage is getting beaten to death by everyone in the middle of the dinning hall. I think this is a bug. [editline]14th August 2014[/editline] OH JESUS EVERYONE IS ANGRY AND MY MILITIA COMMANDER IS BEATING SOME POOR ASS WHO THREW A TANTRUM HALF TO DEATH. [editline]14th August 2014[/editline] Now the guy who got all of his teeth punched out is ecstatic because you got all his teeth punched out instead of doing jail time. All of this because nobody wants to build fucking coffins for my rotting dwarves.
TURNS OUT ONE OF MY DWARVES WAS A ROYAL HEIR AND NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR SHIT. Also turns out that removing prisoners from cages causes massive loyalty cascades. My mayor just punched my queen in the head repeatedly until it exploded. She is now also joining massacring everyone while chanting "Death is all around us. This is truly horrifying"
It is terrifying.
It was inevitable.
Now a baby has accidentally been immersed in lava and has been still alive for days while most of the population burned Guys I found the avatar of Armok.
Embarked on a temperate biome with an aquifer. Dug through the aquifer during Spring and walled off the ice literally one tick before the ice thawed.
-Nevermind, fixed it-
I left my fort for awhile, came back, and the volcanoes lava's z-level rose, flooding my fortress. Everyone (like 9 people) was shoved into a shit crossbow squad and put upstairs to await the FPS death to fade.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MIaNeF7.png[/IMG] Beast #3 for my fortress defense system: [I]"Enure Vathiaco: An enormous beakless cardinal. It has an enormous shell and it squirms and fidgets. Beware its deadly dust!"[/I] Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll ever really get the chance to use it. I still have no idea if migrated saves will get fresh sieges, or if I need to start a new fortress for my yearly shipments of goblinite.
I have blueberry plants. What is the labor needed to get them into brewable berries?
Also how on earth do garlic bulbs and onions work?

[QUOTE=Agent 47;45700352]holy shit i didnt know grandmaster swordsdwarves were this good[/QUOTE] Oh that reminds me, I don't remember if I mentioned it or not but I did some quick testing with gold/lead/silver maces and it turns out that lead is better than silver and gold is better than lead. Admittedly I only did one test of each batch - unskilled/grandmaster variants for each of silver/lead and lead/gold - but except for one fight they were mostly one-sided. After looking up slade and seeing platinum mentioned, apparently it's actually heavier than gold which I was not aware of. In theory, platinum is the single best material for blunt weapons outside of slade - which is only found in the circus and can't be harvested normally besides.
There has been an official release of dfhack, for the latest version of DF. [url]http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139553[/url] Not sure if all plugins are updated.
Anyone have a good way to pop volcanoes without sacrificing a dwarf?
Channel from above? I've never had any problem. How long should eggs in a nest box take to hatch? The wiki says 3 months, but mine are taking longer. There are males on the map.
I'm going to start playing, maybe. If I do, expect Boatmurdered 2.0

Though sadly AdvFort isn't working in the new update so I'll probably wait it out a bit.

There are males on the map.[/QUOTE] Just to rule out the obvious, but you've blocked access to the eggs via forbidding or a locked door? And your female isn't being moved or trained or otherwise interrupted? Assuming that the eggs are fertilized, they will always hatch exactly three months after being laid. There is a chance that the eggs won't be fertilized; if that is the issue, then you'll have to let your dwarfs harvest the eggs and wait for the next clutch to try again. If you consistently never have eggs hatch from this animal, then you could be suffering from a current bug wherein animals have a sexual orientation applied to them in the same fashion as a sentient being. In other words, your duck or whatever could be gay and just isn't interested in fertilizing eggs: [URL]http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142171.45[/URL] [QUOTE=Tacomagic]OK, I have now pretty much 99.2%* confirmed that the problem with animal sterility is in fact the hardcoded default ORIENTATION tag being applied to animals. You can override this by adding the following to any creature file under the respective castes (Caste tokens included for clarity, you do not need to include extra gender tokens) [FEMALE] [ORIENTATION:MALE:0:0:100] [ORIENTATION:FEMALE:100:0:0] [MALE] [ORIENTATION:FEMALE:0:0:100] [ORIENTATION:MALE:100:0:0] Order of the tokens MIGHT be important, so use the above order until further testing has been done along those lines. *I had 3 groups of animals split in 10F:1M groups. All females across all groups had offspring, indicating 100% fertility. The chances of this being due to luck rather than the orientation token fixing it is 0.8%. Next bit of work is to explore whether offspring are effected by the bug with vanilla raws. I updated the bug report with my findings. I also added justifcation why the inclusion of gay animals may want to be reconsidered if this is intended behavior. Basically, while the inclusion of gay animals would be great from a representational standpoint, making an effecient meat industry would tend to incentivise slaughting gay animals in favor of ones that produce offspring, which is pobably not the message that Toady was going for.[/QUOTE]

While working on the FUNdation, a thunderbird megabeast showed up before my containment and capture devices were set up. I killed it by throwing marksdwarves at it who beat it to death because I forgot to give them quivers. Anyways, how the hell do I butcher its corpse? There is a butchers shop next to the stockpile. The butcher is butchering every other random corpse, but tries to pretend the thunderbird doesn't exist. The thunderbird should be butcherable.

If that doesn't work, can you set it to be butchered from the status screen? Again, I don't know how it works but these are just suggestions
