I've spent a few hours collectively drawing charts in class trying to think of the perfect layout.
I realize there is none.
Nothing like coming back to this game after many months and forgetting everything. Spent 20 minutes setting up the dwarves labors correctly according to the guide. Unpaused, 2 dwarves instantly killed by alligators. Fun.
I have a web spitting forest titan attacking. I am afraid to suicide attack it because of its webs. I am close to calling a lockdown till I can get some crossbows.
Gunna name my expedition leader after Lijitsu, since he was so helpful for getting me into the game.
He's also a wizard, apparently.
I'm sure I'll die a horribly gruesome grue-related death.

Nah you'll be fine...
Until I accidentally mine into the circus for the fifth time in a week.

First time playing in half a year, so of course I embark into a Sinister Aquifer area.

Not even a season into its lifetime, Reignworks was struck down. A foolish miner stepped outside, even though he was assigned to a burrow at the interior, and was consumed by fog, along with a yak. He turned on his fellows and easily slaughtered them all with his undwarven strength.

Sounds like FUN!
Welp time to pick this game up again.
It's been a while, Dwarf Fortress.
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
And of course after all that time spent genning a world, I forgot to turn off Aquifiers.
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
Haunted glacier biome. There's a haunting cloud of ash drifting around nearby, no idea what it does though.
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
Oh hey a flock of ravens is going to fly into it. Will post results.
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
OH FUCK ZOMBIES
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
So it turns out Haunted Ash Zombies can also zombify you by doing damage. That's the end of THAT fortress.
How do you turn off aquifers? I'm sure I've done it before.
[QUOTE=Leestons;42584683]How do you turn off aquifers? I'm sure I've done it before.[/QUOTE]
its in the LNP options i think
Ah, I don't use LNP
From the wiki: [quote]Find the files in Dwarf Fortress/raw/objects (new world) or Dwarf Fortress/data/save/regionNN/raw/objects (already saved world).
Open the three files with a text editor (e.g. Notepad). (inorganic_stone_layer.txt, inorganic_stone_mineral.txt, and inorganic_stone_soil.txt)
Use Edit->Replace, and replace [AQUIFER] with (AQUIFER). (Use 'Replace All').
To restore the tags later, do the same in reverse. (Replacing (AQUIFER) with [AQUIFER]).[/quote]

How do you make your dorfs put certain things into conatiners?
[QUOTE=kron555;42585539]How do you make your dorfs put certain things into conatiners?[/QUOTE]
I'm new at this but i THINK you choose the chest and assign what should be put in it using "q".
[QUOTE=stee_vo;42585901]I'm new at this but i THINK you choose the chest and assign what should be put in it using "q".[/QUOTE]
Nope, it just gives me option to make it barracks/armory.
oh come on game two forgotten beasts at once?
no fair
[QUOTE=kron555;42585539]How do you make your dorfs put certain things into conatiners?[/QUOTE]
Make a stockpile and have your carpenter make barrels for food and drinks or bins for everything else except for stone, the dwarves should put the stuff in the containers by themselves.
oh great like half my fortress is stuck in this forgotten beasts web
he cant kill anyone though because all his legs are broken
he's made of amber too so he's super tough
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
a macelord that was just dicking around the whole time somewhere else in the fortress managed to get next to him and scratched his head off?
i don't even know how he got close
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
good thing, my dwarves were starting to die of dehydration

[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
in other news one of my military dwarfs keeps killing all her squad members
I have no idea why
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
wait I think it's because someone accidently attacked a dwarven trader
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
oh my god shes killing everyone in the fortress

[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
THE BLACKSMITH JUST TURNED GHOSTLY AND IS KILLING THE CARPENTER SUPPOSED TO BUILD A WALL TO BLOCK OFF THE FORT FROM THE WEREMOUSE
[editline]20th October 2013[/editline]
THE STONEWORKER IS IN A FEY MOOD NOW, ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST.

Fun is upon you. Embrace it. Live it.
[QUOTE=Terminutter;42579544]There are efficiency layouts, FPS layouts, industry based layouts, aesthetic layouts, and it all depends on the embark site, too.
I typically end up with a boring column of box rooms in a 3x3, with stairs positioned frequently. I've been trying to kick the habit.[/QUOTE]
My forts end up being clusterfucks with zero layout. And I like it.

So, see that hole? See it? Yeah? How about now?
I was just mining out part of a layer for the iron ore in it, and... I opened up a cavern. That hole goes about 80 z-levels down so far, and I still can't see the bottom. I'm gunna drop my Fluffy Wambler down the hole and see what happens.
[editline]21st October 2013[/editline]
Apparently fluffy wamblers don't reveal the map. So I dropped an extra Moleweasel kitten down there. It landed in some water (it exploded anyways), and revealed a single serpent woman and a cavern composed almost entirely of water.
Huh.
[editline]21st October 2013[/editline]
How do I get my dwarves to spar? I have a room set up for them, and they all have wooden training swords, but they won't spar. They only do individual combat drills.
[editline]21st October 2013[/editline]
Doesn't really matter now, I guess. I doubt my small amount of traps can take care of this fucker.

Okay, luckily the trader's guards managed to kill it. Lemme see if I can butcher this sucker.
I removed my shield in Adventure Mode and now I can't seem to equip it. Am I doing something wrong?
[QUOTE=vizard38;42591328]I removed my shield in Adventure Mode and now I can't seem to equip it. Am I doing something wrong?[/QUOTE]
You have to "drop" the shield in order to equip it. It's weird.
Devlog:
[QUOTE]Things are proceeding along. I cleaned up the demon site maps... 3D maps always seem to gobble extra time, probably because there's one more letter to mistype as one of the other two letters, but we're still on track. I also got the game to respect the light activity periods of predators as they wander around, messed with camp guards some more, various fixes to tents, and so on. The remaining list is so random I don't think there'll be any structure to the next set of updates. It should take us up to around November 15th, at which point we'll just continue to test things out for a bit and see where we are at.[/QUOTE]
This is all good news, but he still hasn't told us what happened to Zach. I suppose no news is probably more good news there, though.
