Turn off harder farming. Even then, still takes a bit.

My groups name is The Unholy Gems. My Forts name is PurgeUnholiness.
Okay.
Also, two questions about masterwork: One, How to get rid of all this moss shit? Two, are there downsides of not using the 'masterwork' texture pack?

1.) That is probably cave moss from the caverns, a vanilla feature
2.) No, though it is a nice pack.

I heard somewhere that if you didnt use masterwork, and used, say "Phoebus" you would get texture errors or something.
Also, its dense moss, its growing everywhere on my clay D:

Fuck it
Im done
No more fucking masterwork
Back to normal dorfern fortriss
Moss can be removed by building then removing dirt roads shortly before construction is complete. It's a temporary solution and the moss will eventually grow back.
If you only want sand or clay then do the road thing and build a floor grate over tiles where you want to keep moss-free. The moss will never grow under the grate and dorfs can still collect sand/clay if the zone is designated as such before the grate is built.
The ASCII is too much to take in
how do I go about getting a graphics pack

There are plenty of packs you can use. There is the Pheobus pack, which I used for a while before returning back to vanilla.
There's also [url=http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository]this big ol' list[/url] but I'm not sure of any good ones, or any outdated ones on it.
I'm using Obsidian.

When I'm not playing DF I'm on TVTropes.
First time playing in about a year
First year so far. I have this fascination with making cozy mostly 1z axis deep forts.

"The flying iron bolt hits Urist McDwarf's right front tooth, sticks to the teeth with out doing any damage, and it breaks"
How would I go about trying to add stuff to the MDF section of the Dwarf Fortress wiki? It's so barebones.
Finally got around to watching The Hobbit. I remember reading this thread when it first came to theaters, everyone talking about how much it made them want to play DF. Gotta agree.
Having trouble remember how to play though. I play adventure mode mostly because combat is hilariawesome. Looting free armor from a fortress, can't seem to equip it? I removed what I was currently wearing but it says that I have nothing to wear when I hit w besides what I had on before. Is my armor using to low or something?
2nd edit: Oh maybe it is the size of the armor
Jesus Christ, what have I done.
I started playing the game recently, learned a few tid-bits and got the hang of it. I've been playing Adventure Mode and two of my Dwarf Hammerers died gruesomely to Pikemen, so I decided to make a new character...
A brawler.
I killed 6 wolves, 1 Pikeman, 1 Lasher and 1 Captain. Bare-handed.
I killed the Captain by [i]kicking her brain out of her skull[/i].
I just keep grappling everything, disarming my opponents, choking them, dodging the strikes... I seriously thought I was going to die to the wolves when I encountered them, but Goddamn, even if they all jumped at me, none of them could hit me.
I have no armor, no weapons [b]and I managed to kill the same pieces of shit that killed my two previous, more powerful adventurers.[/b]
So, my military's wrestler recruits have been wrestling an elf merchant's berserking donkey for 48 sides of combat reports. Wow.

Also, is there a way to make dwarfs less depressed while they're on longer periods of duty?

my most powerful adventurer was a stealth thrower, it was so easy to throw rocks at bandits and then choke them out. it was all fun and games until i spent two hours fighting some night monster thing (the ~N~ looking symbol, i forget exactly). the stupid fucker killed two of my previous adventurers and he would always boast about it during the fight, and no matter how many bones i shattered in his body i couldnt deliver a killing blow since i lacked a sharp weapon.
i actually ran away because i was so messed up, healed as best as i could and then returned to him and the motherfucker had healed completely. his entire body was covered in scars and he proceeded to beat the shit out of me since i had all my broken bones from our previous fight
get a sharp weapon man, its for the better

They begin to enjoy long periods of duty when skilled enough, but your best bet is to cycle them out.
[editline]25th October 2013[/editline]
Or give them a month of time off every so often.

I give mine every 4th month off and that seems to work pretty well.
I was having complaints with minimal patrols + every 3rd month, but I was running 2 patrol + 4 train. Military patrols are something I've yet to master.
Lijitsu died.
So did everyone else, but that's not important.
I'm sorry Lijitsu ):
It happens. That's why I don't get attached to most dwarves. They're liable to end up eaten by something ridiculous. Or kicked to death by a tarantula.
If you're a dwarf in Dwarf Fortress, really the best you can hope for is that your death is amusing in some way.
I had my mayor bitching about not having an adequate office, and had to build a statue.

I know this isn't anything special, but it's really crazy how dwarves will practically idolize what they hate.
EDIT
Wow I can't read, the subject dwarf isn't the author, oops.
Chances are someone crafted that statue of an event that actually occurred, or just because they know that he hates that thing, they were making a statue, and had him look terrified with that thing because he hates it.
Dwarves are crazy.
Cheese engravings. Cheese engravings everywhere.
planepacked is the best thing to ever come out of df artifacts
maybe
probably not

[quote]The statue itself contains an ungodly amount of items built into it, and contains what would appear to be the entire history of the world in which it was created. It also includes 73 images of itself
It also most likely contains several pictures of toads, and squares, but strangely, no cheese. [/quote]

What the fuck, you're right. Aban is my mayor and detests spiders.
Fucking dwarves.
And it was made by his FRIEND.

Blasphemy
I just started playing the fallout mod, only to trip over a rock and fall down, causing my plasma pistol to discharge, rupturing my liver, and I proceeded to bleed out 5 tiles away from a doctor. Holy shit this is hardcore.
