I haven't seen one in a while so here it is. Post forts/stories/questions
I recently started a fort with the most macabre dwarves
My colony was ambushed by furry bait and they beat her until she could no longer survive by herself instead of killing her. Fucking amazing. No wonder the fort's most worshiped god is the god of war, death and suicide By the way how stressful is for a dwarf to butcher 30 stray cats and dogs?
how do i get stonesense and the game on my screen at the same time
Brody Bell
The key is to do it before any attachment is made, otherwise you'll need to adjust the breeding rate of all your cats. Oh and changed the gay-straight ration to 3% it's unsustainable and the cats will die out if left unattended.

Congratulations, you've created an imageboard in DF.

I've been wanting to try dwarf fortress, but I'm too scared. How do I stop being scared of new things?
Zachary Wright
Yes the butcher chopped 30 kitten heads and he's only distracted because he was unable to practice a martial art he wants to keep killing

This might be the cause though
James Brooks
So is it every dwarf?
Hudson Anderson
Are there any D&D based mods to add a greater degree of bestiary to DF?
Why would you do this? Dorf can only run on 1 core, so modern CPUs aren't better unless you have an antique in your computer.
David Baker
g3258 OC'd to 4.3 on air is probably the best value you could ever get
DF is single-threaded
Jeremiah Miller
I kinda want to make a fort where all Dwarves are children of the initial 7 with no migrants. The only problem is that it takes a long time for it to really pick up.
Another issue is that a 2x3 or even a 3x4 plot of plump helmets is enough to churn out like 1,200 alcohol and keep the fort running indefinitely
Ryan Morales
Oh yeah I actually wanted to post,
What's a better fort idea? Some kind of Aztec/Mayan aesthetic or treetop in a forest? I'm leaning towards the latter, and I can just flood everything.
Tyler Brown
there was one yesterday that got deleted in like a half hour because the op responded to shitposting with ebinposting
William Jenkins
Get out of here elf.
Ayden Bell
Seems pretty Dwarfy to me. It's not what you do, it's the intent.

Weird, how I just downloaded it and was thinking of making a thread myself. Anyways, what's a good graphics pack and how does a retard like myself install it?
Connor Green
I like to shill my upscaled default texture pack with a few enhancements
Gabriel Walker
Its an i7 7700K running 4.2 Ghz stock, OCable to 4.8 on air. Currently best single-core performance of all CPUs meant for the consumer market.
Its so fast it may actually get bottlenecked by RAM first and CPU itself later. However time will tell as its still in transit. Thank fuck I almost exclusively play extremely CPU heavy games or I could never justify spending all those sheckels for a single game.
David Garcia
I know F12 makes a lot of the text easier to read like that, but it's often offset and there's still parts where the text doesn't get rewritten. I guess I'll stick with the default.
Benjamin Johnson
Default ascii is beautiful but you can try phoebus from what I've read it's the best graphics pack
Levi Scott
As someone who has played for some 10 years now, the holy trinity of tilesets is for me is phoebus, ironhand and maydays. Maydays is the odd one out because it looks like clown puke but contrary to popular belief its EXTREMELY readable. Moreso than the other two.
Jacob Butler
Trips confirm.
Justin Foster
It's easier to just use two monitors, since the UI is a pain in the ass to use through stonesense.
Gabriel Green
Masterwork pottery.
Jordan Cruz
Why not just 0%? Unless you're conscripting all of the gays into the meatshield branch of your dorfen military, what's the point of them? You need breeding stock, not non-breeding resource devourers.
Julian Turner
Because fags complain.
Sebastian Evans
I don't see the problem.
Austin Rodriguez
Imaging fags flooding bay12 with complains.

Forums are designed to be containment for such forms of autism as homosexuality.

HONORABU VICTORY OR SUDOKU
Jace Clark
gays are the best for military for that reason though no attachments means i can recruit women as well without worrying about babies
Adrian Diaz
Well since there isn't a dominions general and i don't want to make a thread for this i'll just here since we all like autistic games. Have any of you guys played Illwinter's other series Conquest of Elysium? Are they any good? How does it compare to Dominions?
Lincoln King
Gays were fairly common in ancient cultures, including greeks, romans, egyptians, and spartans.
Though in the military castes it was more of a no homo bromance, and otherwise was usually a master dominating his slaves
Christopher Carter
There's something in common with all of them, though. They banned sodomy. Punishments varied from death to being stripped of citizenship.
Angel Watson
Like pottery
Brody Campbell
First real fort after just having learned how to play the game.
It's pretty fun.
Julian Bennett
For(t) you.
Daniel Ortiz
rimworld > dwarf fortress
Jack Perez
According to (((Mark Goldberg))) and other (((researchers))).
Michael Reyes
Its funny how you can tell how new someone is to DF by how horizontal is his fortress
Shaft fortress are best fortress
Tyler Allen
Different experiences. rimworld doesnt force me to constantly brew alcohol for a horde of dwarves
That fort triggers me
Brayden Thomas
I've never seen such a messy fort layout. It's even messier than the generated ones.
Nicholas Reed
Give him a break, its a new guy Soon he will be making glorious deep fortresses with magma contraptions
Christian Jackson
I forgot to ask: When I start a new game, the area I select to play is half forest and half mountains for example. When the game starts, on most cases the area that was represented as mountains on the world map is actually a huge mountain plain, no altitude changes but there are no plants or trees. Only the areas surrounded by several layers of mountains on the world map have real altitude changes. Is that normal?
I have to re embark several times because I end up on a huge flora empty plain where there should be mountain (it's not a mesa, I can see the change between mountain environment and the regular plains with tress and there's no altitude change between them) I imagine that trees and plants should grow all the way until the cliffs start rising. This is really fucking annoying because I want to have trees nearby, or a river, and nothing's ever close to the real mountains. I end up building a surface fortification to guard the entrance to the fort but it ends up covered in vomit because dwarves dont like sunlight
Ryder Bell
mountain biome is usually barren wasteland and it expands far beyond where the actual mountains are you can find lots of altitude variation on any biome, specially forest, you can see the rough terrain map before embark
Josiah Evans
I don't know why exactly, but something about that fort makes me very angry.
Jaxson Perez
Recently got back into it and both my forts died a horrible FPS death in year 6.
Austin Price
Try dfhack fixes. But it makes game unstable so remove dfhack afterwards.
Camden Nelson
Is there a mod or something that makes it possible to see what minerals are available on a location before embark? I'm still searching for the promised land with an iron ore, flux stone, trees, coal, and an economic ore like silver. Shallow Metals isn't really descriptive enough, and just missing parts of the steel making process isn't really difficult as much as it is annoying and tedious. My experience isn't improved by having to wait a whole year for a shipment of flux stone that I'll burn through in a month just in time to do it all over again.
Joshua Clark
DFhack has a command for that
Evan Ward
might wanna start thinking about that trading depot. and remember trading wagons require 3x3 to move.
