    ☼Bi-weekly DF Questions Thread☼

    Posted: 09 Aug 2021 07:22 AM PDT

    Ask about anything related to Dwarf Fortress - including the game, utilities, bugs, problems you're having, mods, etc. You will get fast and friendly responses in this thread.

    Read the sidebar before posting! It has information on a range of game packages for new players, and links to all the best tutorials and quick-start guides. If you have read it and that hasn't helped, mention that!

    You should also take five minutes to search the wiki - if tutorials or the quickstart guide can't help, it usually has the information you're after. You can find the previous questions thread here.

    If you can answer questions, please sort by new and lend a hand - linking to a helpful resource (eg wiki page) is fine.

    Advanced world generation has no chill.

    Posted: 08 Aug 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    So I, a complete noob to DF, decided to mess with the advanced world generator. This was largely a mistake since I had no idea what I was doing, but it let me put in seeds, so I did.

    Most of them were only somewhat interesting, but after a while it generated quite possibly the most outright evil area I've ever seen so far in this game.

    The world had generated a gigantic mountain range in the northwestern area, and it looked pretty neat. I figured the dwerfs would swarm allover it. They did not. In fact they stayed far, far away from it. For reasons that rapidly became very clear.

    See Figure A: https://i.imgur.com/0Ny3ES3.png

    And Figure B: https://i.imgur.com/DEjOLrR.png

    I dunno if there's a reason it's so evil, I didn't really see anything in the legends viewer, but I'm also not really knowledgeable enough to break it all down. What I did learn is it's filled to the brim will all manner of wonderful creatures, and that several truckloads of kobolds were utterly decimated by a grumpy titan. The world is only 57 years old in those screens. Re-running it longer had even more evil places start popping up allover the place.

    These are the worldgen settings. if you wish to use it. No advanced parameters were changed. However I do use LNP starterpack, so I don't really know if that changes worldgen.

    Edit: words.

    Military patrols?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2021 07:43 AM PDT

    In my forts I tend to equip a military ASAP and make a patrol around the border of the map. In the best of circumstances it helps detect ambushes, but also means the poor saps run face-first into a siege as it enters the map and dies epically. Watching other DF players on twitch has made me realize I'm kind of alone in doing this. I know there are as many techniques to playing DF as there are stars in the sky, but I worry I'm sending my axe dwarves on needless Suicide runs.

    has anyone managed to root out a criminal organization? [aventure mode]

    Posted: 08 Aug 2021 06:33 PM PDT

    Starded a new game of adventure and found out that you can receive quests to defeat a criminal group. I obviously got my ass beaten (peasant start), but I wondered if the end of the quest is actually coded.

    Does anyone know if it is possible right now? I loved that It even exists, if the quest is actually completable it'll be even cooler

    Dwarf Fortress Gladiator Tournament - Upgrade Post, Round 4

    Posted: 08 Aug 2021 12:04 PM PDT

    Document Hub

    The following managers were victorious Round 3 and therefore are eligible to upgrade their gladiators for the next round:

    Note about the algorithm: if you look at the numbers a bit closer, you can see that whenever the simple multiplication by 1.5 created a number that had something other than .5 in its decimal part, we rounded it up to the closest .5; so, .25 becomes .5 and .75 becomes 1. This was done to avoid infinite splintering of the points.

    The Arena Personnel asks you to provide your upgrades as soon as possible. The deadline is the Twelfth of August, 17 GMT. We ask for your understanding on these matters; we need time to run and process the fights.

    IMPORTANT: New upgrade rules in place!

    As you could notice if you were paying attention to the username, this post was made by a new account and not one of the tournamen't organizers. This account, u/dfgt-Quartermaster, is a key element in the new highly-requested private upgrade system! It is going to work like this:

    After the round results are posted, the upgrade post will be made by this account, revealing the number of points gained by each gladiator. The managers send the DMs with their upgrades to this account, and it is approved by one of the members of tournament committee (who have the access to this account). This post serves as a discussion thread for the predictions and thoughts on the upgrade. After the deadline, this account will make a post revealing all the upgrades to the general public.

    If there are questions, do not hesitate to ask.

    Good luck and go with Armok!
