Added you too! Have to head to college now, though. :( When I get back, if you're free?

I'll take a nap.
Most likely i'll be up when you get back.
So, I finally started playing Dwarf Fortress. Keyblockor stayed up late and taught me for as long as he could - I've only just gotten started, building a farm plot, a stockpile and a few workshops under his instruction. I'm actually slowly getting used to the controls. Excited.
Welcome to Dwarf Fortress. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here - even ones you might think are stupid or total newbie things you should already know. Anything you want to know about, we probably can either directly answer or give you a few ideas. Or at the very least, we know whereabouts on the wiki you should be looking.
Speaking of the [url=http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Main_Page]wiki[/url], it's a thing you should get familiar with. In particular, the [url=http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Quickstart_guide]quickstart guide[/url] has a good overview you can either follow or skim through and the [url=http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Menu]UI pages[/url] are really helpful. The [url=http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:The_Non-Dwarf's_Guide_to_Rock]Non-Dwarf's Guide to Minerals[/url] is also really useful for a quick lookup of what a particular rock can be used for and its value and such, if you don't feel like looking up each rock's individual page.
Another player apparently has a dwarf that feels pleasure from getting wounded.

Later that day, Urist had a strange mood and created a full body leather "armour", including a mask!
I am out of the loop of DF, last time I played was in 2010. Is the Army Arc out already? So you can send around armies in the world conquering other towns?

Not yet no. Enemy armies travel around however, and the gameworld is active and changing outside of your embarkment while playing fort mode. Also lots of other stuff you should read up on that changed.
Is it me [URL="http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository#Installation"]or is this tutorial outdated[/URL]? I tried switching the tileset to a 12X12 tileset but I keep getting pink and discolored stuff all over the place.
ah yes, it's last update was four years ago.
I can see that causing issues :v:
[editline]29th October 2014[/editline]
anyone know from which date the tilesets will work?

volcano in ice! does this mean there's rock (from the volcano mountain), and insane amounts of lag if I pour lava over the ice?

cooz's tileset works and it's from 2009
make sure [graphics:no] is in your init.txt
otherwise compare it to orkel's rar at the bottom of the OP and manually merge it with the current release, then figure out where to go from there
So I managed to generate two 10k year old worlds. But right now the size is smaller and small. As I type this I am generating a medium world at 10k, and for each world that manages to save I will go up one size.
I uploaded them to my dropbox for those who are interested. Just remember there is less then 30 dwarfs left in the world(s), 99% of the populated civs are goblins.

[url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1589373/st/10k%20year%20old%20world%20small.rar[/url]
There is also that all the worlds I generate get my RAW edits. I have edited in the raw files, just to see if I could make the game more interesting.
Here is what I've done:
Tried making elfs more aggressive.
Made dwarfs able to eat/butcher/tan/bonecraft etc goblins/sentinent enemies.
Made every metal usable for everything, despite how useless they might be. Just remember that even if you can make an anvil out of a certain metal doesn't mean it's lava safe/safe enough from fire. The embark screen might give you a cheaper, non-usuable anvil because of this. So stick with iron.
Hope you guys enjoy the world(s), and if I managed with my next one with some dwarfs alive I will upload that one too. I generate these world since I want a butt load of interesting history.

Sounds like a proper epic DF tale in the making.

Just hope the fortress name isn't Suicidefraternal or something.

I made an entire large world evil, except for some mountains, there was only 7 dwarfs left in that world. No migrants came, ever. Not even the ones that I have heard is hardcoded in, despite dwarven population in the world.
I managed to find the picture of it.

I dug four tiles from a small hill but there was a tree on it and it crushed my miners :x
great start & end of a fort

okay I updated "orkel's" (cooz's + natural colors) texpack from the OP to work with DF v0.40.14
[url]http://xelivo.us/upload/DF_Cooz_40_14.zip[/url]
you can use it as a base if you want to try out other ascii texture replacements

I already got one from the repository which works fine. I don't know what was up with the one that didn't work before.
[editline]29th October 2014[/editline]
the natural colors are a godbless though so thanks.

What's wrong with some dirty talk with the spouse near a fine bed? Except that it might be engraved in your family's tomb.
I have been drawing some comics based on my stupid dorf tricks. Coming soon.

That looks very nice, and seems to fit said texture pack quite well.

I was playing Kobold's in Masterwork, since he re-worked(har har) Kobolds completely removing most necessary things I tried getting some metal (I would've preferred the Old Kobold runs, where I could get leather or wood.)
Nothing happened until they all started coming so I walled myself in. I could've played the isolation game but I quit due to fps death.
Guys did they fix the bug regarding pitting enemies and whatnot?
The one that causes massive loyalty cascades?
what happens to fish that get land drowned? I'm draining a room for my farms when suddenly all these salmon show up inside it

what the fuck I think they're all gone now.
teleporting fish :tinfoil:
They aren't actual units, they're effectively vermin. Basically they're there to show you what you can catch in that particular body of water.
Also it looks like you're doing that on a soil layer, you do know that you don't have to irrigate soil right?
it actually is stone, jet I believe
