>my favorite skate shoe brand is out of business now I have to settle for some inferior brand/style nooooooooo
Anno
>>1075243 Forgotten Beasts' health is a direct correlation from the material their body is made of So if they're made of, like, paper or some shit, then yeah, they go down pretty easy It's the ones that have bodies of steel or something which are going to take a lot of damage to drop Or forbid you never come across one with a body of magma, because that will seriously burn any dwarf which comes in melee combat with it
S C
I guess if something like that shows up, I'm just gonna have to wall my damn entrances off and wait for them to leave at least for right now
Anno
Well a lot of Forgotten Beasts are fairly low threats, unless actively aggravated They usually (always?) spawn in the caverns layers and unlike legendary monsters and sieges, don't zero in on your fortress, so if you leave them alone, they won't bother you until they wander up to your front door, usually giving you enough time to prepare
S C
I guess I could also try to trap some I know they don't trigger traps themselves, but I can make a whole bunch of traps and link them all to a lever, right, and when they're on top I just fucking pull it?
Anno
They actually will trigger traps, but I think you have to stun them or knock them unconscious, something like that I know caging Forgotten Beasts is something some players like to goof around with, so there's definitely a means to do so
If I get one that secretes lava trapped, I could put it in a hole somewhere and use that to fuel my stuff, I imagine these things are effectively immortal anyway, right? like vampires
I'm getting a pair of Doc Martens later this week.
Anno
>>1075254 I don't entirely remember how the game handles Forgotten Beasts secretions, but I think they never condense to be more than splatters Also there might not be one that actually secretes magma, I think they generally only secrete things like poison A Beast made of magma won't secrete magma, but will be very hot and a fire hazard to anything in its warpath

I also can't figure out how to chain up these captured olm men I managed to disarm them through much trial and error, but I can't get them actually chained up for some reason The Hole is working fine now though, able to just drop anything down there without issue now They do not appear to be dying ...which could become an issue, but for whatever reason they don't actually destroy the door blocking their exit I guess they are unarmed, and it IS a granite door, so it probably isn't very easy to destroy

I just put down a buncha cages down in the caves to see what I can do with it At this point I just have a big hole with like 20 snakemen in it, and a giant rat None of them seem to need food, which is strange
>>1075289 They're not in cages anymore though They're in The Hole But they just don't need food cause they're invaders I guess? In any event, I'll likely just end up slaughtering the lot for combat EXP later, once I've got my army supplied with gear and actually ready to start doing shit Actually making all the steel gear is taking a little bit of time, but I pumped up production of steel now by adding like 12 more furnaces and furnace bois they do nothing but produce furnace stuff for me all day I still absolutely do need a lot of steel gear, and unfortunately I only have the one armorer so he's gonna be working his ass off but it'll get done He works fast as long as he's got the materials

Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
anyway a woman who looks like her gets like a hundred interactions like that per day its nothung really
I probably should have gotten myself a few extra legendary armor smiths, seeing as armor is... a lot of stuff I think I'm gonna give a new guy a separate workshop, and then just have that one churn out copper armor until he's up to par
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
thats a good idea yeah so many damn pieces in an armor set
S C
It consumes A LOT of copper, but copper is cheap I'm producing enormous amounts of copper anyway because of the tetrahedrite I'm using for silver
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
plentiful metals make it ez dorf only issue is im too lazy to use magma so all the charcoal burning is slowly enraging the elves
S C
You're not making coke? I've got SO much coal and lignite >>1075303 You only need one charcoal to start the process, and each coal piece makes 5 coke, so it's a great way to keep stuff going Just make sure you have an automatic thing set so whenever you're below like 100 coke, you churn out another 10 orders for it, to make sure you don't run out hell, you could just make them churn out the coke as long as the raw materials exist at all, but I've found stuff like that to be a bit excessive I have... a LOT of plaster bags
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh yeah i should do that
S C
Like I've got so many bags of plaster, I ended up not making any damn food for a long while because the plaster nerd used all the empty bags faster than they were made, and that meant nobody was milling my wheat
So I've just ended up beefing up production of a lot of upstream stuff like cloth and thread and bags and barrels and stuff, by adding more workshops to work at the same time on it Same with my metal stuff, there's legit 13 or so furnaces just churning out metal and coke
probably very few of my current soldiers are actually gonna keep being soldiers, too A lot of them are LEGENDARY, but I'm gonna set down otherwise unoccupied dwarves to be my army units in a bit once all the steel is done, I'm setting up a few barracks down in the cave, some in the top layer, and then I can start going to fucking war And they're ONLY gonna be training, no reason for them to work

i just woke up from a bad dream :( i can't remember what I was fighting for, but I got captured by some sort of demon all my teeth were forcibly pulled out for eternity (i was forced to do it myself) then I was forced to walk around a random high school and everyone laughed at me for my horrible sense of fashion 0/10 experience

>>1075309 toady has got to add another layer of managers managing the managers
S C
>>1075322 Honestly yeah I really hope the modders are let loose on the interface itself
Like just a handful of things I'm really feeling the lack of is As mentioned, sorting and\or searching the workorder list, I get that it's sorted by priority as is, but first of all that seems entirely meaningless since all of them are processed in one go when the manager does that stuff, so I can only think of a handful of niche use cases for the priorities there in the first place, and once you've ran the fort for a while you really start running up against a huge workorder list you gotta fiddle with at times Actually tell me how much of a resource is used and what's output in a given order, preferably also what workshop does it in the first place, and the profession responsible for it A fucking hotkey or selection box for deconstructing buildings like beds and such. It is SUCH a pain in the ass to move stuff down into the bowels of the earth when you're forced to either remove each individual furniture piece one by one, or fucking leave them there and make new ones. This is also a massive painw hen it comes to cages. Speaking of cages: Please, I need a furniture placement category that specifically and exclusively places down cages with something in them. And for that matter, there should be a counter somewhere for how many units you have of whatever you're currently plopping down. I know that's wonky with stuff like floors and walls and whatever, but surely there could be a list displayed somewhere or other of at least the blocks currently available (and also I am begging for a way to prioritize using cut blocks when placing down stuff that can use them, because holy shit I do not want my dwarves to carry boulders from the big stockpile at z30 to the new fortifications and building projects in z-100
S C
Really after playing for a while, I'm starting to wonder just how the hell the community has managed so far Even the managers are a new thing, from what I understand And from what I can tell, they're borderline necessary if for no other reason than keeping your food and drink supply topped up
Also desperately need a better stockpiling system from the ground up. My taverns aren't getting their damn drinks and food because they obviously first go to the main food stockpile near the kitchen\still, then they have to be moved from there to the stockpile in the taverns, which I have set up as a take\give relationship, but those are seemingly not prioritized high enough in the dwarf AI to function properly when there's always something or other that needs hauling I want the rimworld "this stockpile being topped up is of critical importance" setting, so I can set the main food pile as low priority to just take the overflow, and have that only fill once the taverns are stocked
>>1075325 I mean it's a really good game, it's just got a LOT of interface annoyances and a few actually awful bugs that cause severe issues if you don't work around them Like your taverns can have a chest and be set to "stock x amount of mugs", and that does function But your dwarves do not USE those mugs, so they instead go to the pile where you've got mugs to grab some there, and often that's near the food and drink anyway, so they drink out of the barrel in the warehouse instead, so now they're not even in the damn tavern while drinking, losing out on socializing time as well as time overall because they're still going to make the trek back to the tavern to be merry and dance and stuff You can circumvent that by having a stockpile of mugs in the tavern itself though, so it's not a huge issue, but you have to know about it
Anno
I rly wanted to play dwarf fortress but from all the criticism I've heard so far it doesn't seem like a good idea
Anno
>>1075324 Even then I feel like if I was going to start out with a colony sim then Rimworld would be better to start with, I was hoping Dwarf Fortress would be as user friendly... I wonder how bad the original ascii version is lol
S C
Rimworld is definitely a much more user friendly game, yeah I still prefer it to DF really, but DF is New and Interesting, so that's what I'm playing
I'm not even entirely sure if DF can be made much more user friendly or if these issues I have with it are so core to the damn code, they can't really be altered
S C
Really I can't recommend Rimworld enough if you're at all interested in this kind of game Pretty much all the issues I have with DF, they're more pronounced specifically because in Rimworld it's way, way better Rimworld doesn't have the "manager tab" that DF does, and that I do kinda miss, because you have to manually set each workshop's bills in Rimworld, but there's far fewer of them anyway, and you usually only need one or maybe 2 of any given workshop The stonecutting table is like the only thing I usually have more than 2 of, because you burn through a surprising amount of stone blocks when building stuff, so you kinda want a bunch of people to work on that stuff at a time Animal husbandry is also a heck of a lot easier in Rimworld, since you can just set it like "yeah I want 1 adult male, 1 adult female, max 3 kids of this animal", and they'll automatically slaughter any overflow so far in DF, I've ended up just forgetting about the damn animals
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

>>1075324 i think those mugs are for the tavern wench to distribute drinks

Possibly, yeah Main issue is it seems kinda scuffed I guess maybe there's a cap to how many patrons can be there per tavernkeep or something, before they start finding their own drinks

Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
DF is impressive i wonder how many years until an AI driven simulation gMe comes out with insane complecity
S C
I'd be surprised if we ever have another game that measures up to DF on the complexity and depth Like DF has shit happen that the devs never even thought about Like that one guy who had just an ever mounting hellscape in his tavern as cats came in, licked the beer, died from alcohol poisoning, and then the other cats also showed up and licked the blood or something, which was also alcoholic now, so they died and it just kept going
Oh wait no, they weren't drinking the alcohol itself They were cleaning themselves, which involves licking their paws paws which had walked across beer on the floor, that's how it was
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
an infamous bug for sure but i think if you had a bunch of neural networks doing programming of the game itself they could orchestrate something even more insane im waiting for the first games with built in neural nets to come out the only thing so far is those chess engines
S C
Also real annoying is the stocks menu thing not having any care as to whether something is like, in a stockpile, or in use it says I have 103 chert blocks, but 100 of those are the damn floor I'm trying to finalize

I started a new dwarf fort and I'm just fucking going for the caves as my area of operations from the start A bit of basic temp setup in advance, but the plan is to get myself situated in the caves, and so far it's going cool and good as I dug further than the first cave layer even is
S C
It's gonna be rough down there, and the startup of any dwarf fort is always a bit of a slog, but still, once it's set up I can comfortably seal myself off from the outside world and be chillin' There's an ENORMOUS pit going down like fucking 40 layers that kinda cut into my planned digging, so I'm gonna have to put up some floors and walls to deal, but this may end up being temporary anyway cause why not go for the next layer down while I'm at it you know?

Maybe if I can put together the money and Japanese fluency I'll see if I can't make summer Comiket in 2023 I went in winter when I went and I kinda want to try summer Comiket just to see how exactly brutal the Japanese summer can get Kirara and I were making vague plans a while back but if there's a good reason to make it out there I bet we can make solid those plans

you would have had a worse experience than me comiket had limited tickets this year. it was busy but not horrible in the halls.
limited due corona i should say.

Oh that's good I was worried limited tickets was a new thing they were experimenting with If it's just for covid prevention then I likely won't have to worry about it when I can go again
I don't really mind the crowds of Comiket, I think the fact that everyone's there with purpose means it isn't really hard to get where you need to go I never felt choked or stranded in a crowd when I was there

Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
isn't being fuckin mauled by all the foot traffic part of the authentic experience?

If they want to keep Comiket to the three days it encompasses but restrict entrance to a limited number of people it's only going to create a demand bottleneck Especially since most, if not all, table participants are only there one day I think that's a pretty big concern for the contentment of people who come there to buy goods

Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I mean, that's what the body is designed to do and why fad diets are usually bad for you. After something like keto, your body is programmed to start retaining fat to prepare for the next time it doesn't have access to food because keto is interpreted by the body as starvation.
Moreover, if you started exercising, you probably started building muscle. If you weren't exercising before, you lost muscle before you did fat, so now your body is building up muscle again. Fat is less dense after than muscle.
yeah I know fat weighs less than muscle, etc. etc. my stomach, neck, and hip fat show that I'm definitely gaining some fat back and not just gaining muscle this is biased and unfair it feels like no matter what I do I can't lose weight. like if eating healthy and exercising is supposed to make you lose weight than how come I'm just gaining it? I don't want to stay on the current path with no results in sight, I have less than a month left now for my goal and I'm not gonna make it probably

In my continuing learning about DORF FORTS, turns out there's a hotkey for increasing the FPS, which effectively speeds the game up Which is great, because now I don't gotta slog through the start at a snails pace

>>1075771 I know players have engineered to have a vampire constantly getting pricked by spike traps at the bottom of a well and then depriving their dwarves of booze so that they have to use the well to quench their thirst, which means they drink the vampire blood-contaminated well water and turn Resulting in a whole fortress of vampire dwarves It's a better outcome than you might think
Anno
Necromancers will use necromantic magics when threatened to raise corpses (and corpse parts) This is more apparent when you're the one fighting them, since it's kind of hard to engineer the circumstances for a necromancer in your fortress to draw upon their magic I believe in Adventure Mode you can use the magics freely if you can become a Necromancer, but I'm not too sure

>>1075687 I was actually thinking about that. I've been having trouble recalling words and names recently.
Everyone is always like "oh congratulations" but to be honest, I resent my sobriety. I don't see it as an accomplishment, I see it more like a curse. 6 years of being unable to drink my beloved booze, you know?

>you can make the dwarves always wear armor and possibly weapons too holy shit this is incredible stuff I'm just gonna set EVERYONE up into squads and have most of them never train, just so they fucking crush the crundles and other bullshit creatures they run across I have SO MUCH steel available, man, I think I can set up all 150 fucking dwarves with a full set
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>>1075798 looks like you fell in with a bad crowd. The dangers of peer pressure.
>>1075799 nooo you can&5 give every dorf free steel they will become addicted and resent its absence
S C
>>1075805 yeah it turns out they still run away while in civilian mode anyway So I guess I'll have to find a way to make them patrol, but ALSO go back and eat and stuff They don't really need training, for the most part, since steel equipment is more than enough to handle what the game's throwing at me atm anyway Probably will set up one more squad that just trains all day to deal with actual threats, I just need these damn crundles handled >>1075807 A what?
> In previous versions, danger rooms were a useful workaround for regular training being too slow and difficult for new players to figure out. However, recent modifications to the combat system have made danger rooms quite dangerous and barracks training significantly more effective, so small-group sparring is currently the recommended training regimen. I think I'll pass
Though maybe I'll just set up a net of traps along the edges of the cave I'm in to capture anything that shows up and then dump all that shit into a pit or something
It doesn't matter too much to me how well trained my mans are anyway though I've yet to have a beast show up that 3-4 dwarves didn't fucking body And the squad has 10 lads with steel gear, no way is a fucking animal gonna destroy them
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Oh NVM it got nerfed Stupid devs
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Barracks training was pretty much useless compared to danger rooms.
Hm, a trap net like I'm thinking of is gonna be a good idea overall when I think about it It'll use A LOT of my resources, which is good in and of itself really, and supply me with easy prey that I can actually just airdrop into the damn barracks Hell I can probably sell the bastards too, right?
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1075813 https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/40d:Carp This was patched a while ago.

Holy shit that's an incredible way to passively gain trade goods Though, admittedly, I already have so many damn shells I'm never gonna run out of crafts to sell either >>1075818 nopes I'm basically playing blind
>>1075817 It's an old thing that was patched out. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=25967.0 But merperson bones were worth a lot, so people made merperson breeding/butchering machine loops. Toady was disturbed by it so it got patched out but people kept doing it anyway.
S C
...actually, couldn't I just make a damn moat around the edge of the map in the caves and stop anything from actually getting in? that won't even use resources, though of course it'll give none sellables
Also can I train troglodytes or crundles? that'd be sick, having pet crundles, they're kinda cute
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
why make a moat when you can flood the whole cavern with magma
S C
>>1075821 Because I'm in the process of moving my entire base into the depths for resource extraction purposes >>1075823 Bone bolts seem like a good idea until you realize each bolt print that goes off only makes 5 bolts, which means you need to do it 5 times as much It's renewable, sure, but it's also extremely time consuming
Rei !p8eYCadcMo

Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i bet that would be super difficult would have to wall everything off
S C
yeah Not exactly conducive to extracting the resources either I'm just gonna go with the traps and cages Then I'll have those filled cages hauled up to above the barracks, make a little hole to drop them down, and voila, free kills and bones
S C
Man you think you're on pace to finally house all your boys and then BAM Some migrants have arrived. Really wish I got a prompt like "do you wanna let them in?"
Nezi
rope lighters are pretty neat because they don't require any liquid fuel or recharging like normal lighters, the fuel is just the rope (which can be as long as you want and lasts a really long time). plus they're windproof since it's a slow ember and not a flame, but still enough to get a fire going or light something
S C
hey rei can I use trolls for anything? The wiki is a bit scattered when it comes to info, but can I like, train them? Civilize them? Enslave them? Or are they just fodder for the military grinder?
I caught two, so it'd be cool to know if I can domesticate them and breed them for parts
Anno
I don't actually know if they'll actually breed while on a fortress tile Like how all the other dangerous creatures which wander in to your caverns won't start reproducing
Regardless, while incredibly stupid, they are considered intelligent creatures, meaning they hold certain protective simulation restraints which prevent you from butchering their corpses, meaning you'd have to let them decay down to bones to get anything workable out of them And unless you want to set up a whole killing procedure a la mermaids, I don't think it's worth it You also can't tame them because they're evil, or maybe because they're intelligent, or maybe both, I dunno
S C
So, training fodder Fair enough Oh well, I got kinda excited cause I caught exactly two, and it's a male + a female, so Iw as like "holy shit can I breed these?" It'd be kinda sick to just have like, a little pit by the entrance to my fort, instead of a moat, that just drops most of the encroaching army into a trollpit where they have to fight, and even if they win they'll surely starve sooner or later Kinda disappointed miasma doesn't actually kill or anything, though
I was hoping I could make like, a damn gas chamber that just chokes invaders out with the rot of their fellows over time
S C
oh shit, same thing just happened, caught two plump helmet mans And they can supposedly be civilized Alas, the wiki does not provide steps for this
S C
aw, only during worldgen, I.E the AI can have some, but I can only get some through petitions from them That sucks, I wanted these little guys
Anno
Maybe educating the uncivilized creatures is something Toady might put on the docket I dunno though, it seems like his next big mission for Dwarf Fortress is to add a more magical and divine aspect to the game As in make the gods' presence in the world more than just flavour text and faith structures And maybe do more with magic than necromancy and a few infectious fantasy monsters?
S C
It'd be real cool to be able to do it How do I go about taming the ones that can be tamed, anyway? Chain them up in an animal training zone or something?
Anno
Probably I don't have much experience with animal taming since it never appealed to my gameplay, so I'm not terribly familiar with the systems
S C
Ah, fair enough I'll check the wiki I guess I mostly wanna train whatever I can use as war animals to send at my enemies like a damn locust
Animal husbandry in this game kinda sucks ass to be perfectly honest with you, so I just slaughter the horses and cows and junk that comes with migrants I know I can milk and shear them and whatever, but actually managing that and their numbers is a fucking pain in the ass In Rimworld I always do some animal rearing, because the system is very "set it and forget it", but DF's barebones system is too micromanagy for me on that front I really miss the "I want x adult females, y adult males, z kids of each gender" setting rimworld has, where all overflow just gets automatically slaughtered Even has a little button for whether you wanna count pregnant ones in that count or not, so you can set it so they won't slaughter pregnant animals no matter what. Which CAN lead to way too many animals since they breed like crazy, but it also means you'll eventually settle on an equilibrium of animal products and meat income ...as long as you can feed the damn things, anyway

...my dwarves aren't even attacking it Am I seriously about to lose the whole fortress because the game decided my trained soldiers are simply not going to attack the damned thing?
S C
screw that I'm savescumming I'm chalking that up to a bug
S C
Like if I just lost the fight, that's one thing, but my dwarves seem to have just bugged out and weren't even moving to engage, or moving to their designated post for that matter
S C
I'm sure that thing would have whopped my ass anyway, but it's just not satisfying to have it end with what kinda seems like a bug Maybe there was something going on that I didn't manage to understand, but I can't think of what it might have been Like, maybe they just won't walk into fire, that's understandable enough, but then why didn't they respond to the station order in the first place? That wasn't in the fire.
Kannagi
making me want to play df.

The Steam release is a very nice improvement on the game Would recommend if you're already a fan of the game
Kannagi
i got it but haven't played it yet.
Anno
every time i go onto this site i'm afraid to scroll past the main thread
Anno
yeah the marsh threads are a bit hard to look at
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1075852 Why would you scroll past it in the first place? There's never more than one active thread.
S C
I have my soldiers set to store their armor in the barrack, on the armor stands This is, apparently, a big mistake Because hauler dwarves do not recognize it as owned armor, so they go to pick it up and haul it ...why this
>>1075854 yeah but sometimes the main thread isn't the most active thread and you have to scroll past the cp thread
Anno
If you're particularly worried about it, I'd recommend hiding thumbnails, especially on devices which might be seen in public It's kind of a workaround for the fact that nothing seems to be able to be done about stopping it, but it's a workaround nonetheless
S C
I have finally acquired the gold necessary I have chess-boarded the generic temple with silver and gold floor tiles
Well, I set up the build order for it, in any case There's a whole boatload of STUFF going on in this fort since it's currently straddled between two main areas that are real far apart, but once I get stuff set up in the caves, things oughta improve quite a bit
...which now that I think about it means I'm gonna have to move that temple anyway ...goddamnit
Anno
Games like Dwarf Fortress kind of do a great job of teaching you macroplanning Because of how tedious it is to do anything sizable twice, you start getting really good at figuring out where you want every finished installation before starting it I wonder how transferable skills like that are into things like urban planning
S C
Eventually, yeah I've got the sense for that already in Rimworld, most of my runs in that end up looking fairly similar, with most variation in the layout coming down to the positions of good farmland and to some extent just the layout of the mountains Sometimes you just have a little nook that's not under the mountain, but the only way in is through a mountain pass, which ends up saving you a LOT of stress early game when you haven't built up your defensive wall and killbox yet
Overall though, while I have a fairly good idea how stuff needs to be arranged, it tends to be pretty fluid when it comes to the details
Anno
There's a few staples to my fortresses which I like to do One being a giant underground great hall, complete with pillars for aesthetic design, since generally you don't need to hold up a giant empty room But I like pillars, so That usually ends up being a very painstaking job of channeling out the giant hall from the top down, but it's satisfying to me Plus it gives me a bunch of rock and training for my mining dwarves
My basic industrial area and food areas generally look pretty identical, and I have a system to how I design my lower-class dwarves' apartments too I want to do more above-ground construction but the amount of support architecture and resources involved always exhaust my patience
S C
So far, all my forts have been a sort of square pillar design, with one staircase roughly in the middle of the map just going down through the whole damn mountain, with stockpiles as squares on each floor, and then the related workshops next to them
I actually may end up restarting once again, because I think I could improve on this clusterfuck and probably avoid a lot of excess work by just planning stuff out a bit better Sure I could just live with it and redo it as it is, but the FPS grind is real, and I'm really not looking forward to the absolute slog of removing furniture from up top I could leave it there, I suppose, but uuuugh I'll still have to get rid of all the workshops and stuff
Anno
Honestly a single stairway column is the most FPS efficient design for a fortress, since the more possible routes they can take, the more calculations each dwarf has to make when planning and re-evaluating a route And unlike hallways, dwarves can't obstruct other entities on a staircase, so theoretically every dwarve in your fortress could move along your staircase without issue
S C
Ah, is that maybe why everything went ass-up FPS wise once I got to the caves? Cause now they've got an absurd amount of options? It honestly seems real strange for just pathing to eat FPS to that degree I mean, it's not nearly as complex a game, sure, but like, L4D had extremely good, robust pathing that wasn't even reliant on the nodemaps source usually goes with, for a REALLY large amount of zombies at the same time Though I suppose they could group them together to a large degree and use the same general path for clusters
...wait are you saying a single staircase tile is enough? I've been doing 3x3 to avoid bumping
Anno
I'm preeeetty sure that's how it works
S C
My god, this changes much
I guess I am gonna restart after all The main reason I even ended up going to the caves this early was for gold, when I think about it
Really do wish the building interface gets either mod-enabled or just patched to have a few quality of life stuff though Like, selecting the closest item is cool and good But maybe let me use the highest quality item? Or a specific building block. Stuff like making a checkerboarded floor with gold and silver is very tedious when you gotta select each spot on its own and then scroll to find gold\silver for each one individually. Just having a selection thing that's like "use this material for what I'm jotting down" would be a real QoL improvement, especially when dumb stuff like this is effectively the real point of the whole game anyway, as far as it being a game goes
Anno
I saw in the Steam news that they have actually hired a new programmer, who will be the first person not Toady to look at Dwarf Fortress' code in maybe ever And I wonder if they're someone who will help improve some programming efficiency or improve on things like its pathfinding, since singlehandedly the biggest issue in late-game fortresses is always the FPS chug from pathfinding
Anno
>>1075875 I know for tasks like mining or designating stockpiles, you can choose to paint the shape you want instead of dragging a rectangle or cube Can you do that for building things?
S C
...oh, maybe that's an option for floors too I didn't even look I haven't used the brush ever
But if it is a thing, it's obviously only for floors and walls (Also another BIG annoyance is that in order to use macros, the keyboard curser must be enabled, but when that is enabled, the drag-selection square for floors, walls, and farm plots is rendered invisible for mysterious reasons) You legit gotta just eyeball it, cause the preview is gone when you do that
Wish the macros \\\ Rather I know the macros can absolutely do more than simply mine, but I do wish that there was a sort of blueprint system for mining specifically, or even for building as well I usually set up my bedrooms like xxxxx xooox xoBox xxxox with the B being the bed obviously and then I just have like 10 of those on either side of the middle like, hallway through the dormitory and sure, using a macro to mine that out is good and nice, but I do have some issues with it For one, actually making the macro is real slow, finnicky, and fucking annoying Using the macro is equally fucked, because if the camera isn't exactly where it was when you made the macro (in relation to the stuff you're doing), then it works up to and exactly when you press esc because you went "ah shit, I accidentally marked something I didn't intend to" and went to fix it at the end that fucks itself 100% of the time if you run the macro with the camera positioned anywhere else than the exact tile it was when recording, because when you open mining or deselection, the cursor reverts to the middle of the camera, not wherever it last was
that and it's slow to run, too like it just takes time to run through the actions you made and that's annoying I want blueprints
Anno
Me neither but this feels like the perfect task for it
>>1075878 is this a ai but? cant trust anything more on internet, everything looks like a chatgpt bot
Anno
bro it's just normal text learn about dorf fort
S C
there's even a damn blueprint mode in the mining interface, but that doesn't fucking work for like, copy pasting, it's just planning mode Why doesn't the BLUEPRINT MODE have a copy\paste function? That's the whole damn point? If I just wanna plan something out, I simply do not connect it to a wall the dwarves can access or I pause the game Hell, I usually have to pause the game when doing anything that requires thought anyway, because the FPS gets so scuffed the game eats my inputs
I wonder if my particularly bad FPS is because I'm on linux or something It runs native on linux, from what I understand, but maybe I should try sending it through wine instead just to see if that actually improves things, since the porting to linux wasn't even done by people with access to the code, they just had like, these snippets and parts, so maybe it's just not that good at linux, you know
>>1075885 i doubt it pathfinding wont be any different unless they fucked up threading or locks or something ... if DF even is multi threaded
S C
Yeah I'm mostly thinking maybe the linux code just runs less efficiently, basically like, calls to the system or whatever I mean it's unlikely that'll be worse than running it through wine anyway, but I'm gonna see if steam lets me use that proton thing for it once I get back from work Just to see
Though I'm also absolutely gonna set up some goddamned quantum stockpiles
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh man its basically sinhle threaded thats so sad but expected ancient C++ codebase
S C
hopefully the addition of a Real Programmer will maybe enable multithreading? Possibly?
or is that the sort of thing you can't just add in without rewriting the whole damn thing from scratch?
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
nah its basically impossible
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah it pervades everything
S C
Ah I thought maybe it was something you could kinda shoehorn in to just sorta split up into parallel what used to run in series But holy shit, single thread, huh? I mean, Rimworld is also singlethread, but there is actually a mod that literally makes it multithreading, if I've understood it all correctly Rimworld's simpler though, I suppose, and I'm not sure if it's just enabling a scrapped feature or literally adding it Or if that's actually what it does in the first place, not like I know for certain, I haven't used it cause I've never had performance issues in Rimworld
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
get an AI to rewrite it in 2030
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
you would think so but no C++ isnt memory safe by default so everything being interlinked and mutable makes it nearly impossible to use threads without a complete overhaul of the shared state architecture
rewrite in rust hashtag
Anno
get an ai to rewrite this dang website
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
sooooo true
Anno
I would say there's probably a non-zero chance the additional programmer might be tasked with rebuilding DF to be multicore-friendly, but probably not Most likely they'll be looking to change existing pathing algorithms and other functions to be more efficient
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Isn't the bottleneck the size of your cache? I remember reading that a while ago. Maybe you need a threadripper.
S C
yeah from what I've seen just looking for ways to get my FPS to be better just now, at least some people seem to claim that pathing is not actually the fps killer it used to be
I guess I'll have to succumb to using quantum stockpiles and atom smashers for my next fort I kinda wanted to avoid both of those, but the atom smasher actually seems to be outright necessary because some refuse doesn't really appear to deteriorate in anything approaching a reasonable timeframe I've had the same damn hoofs from an animal I slaughtered in year 100 in the stockpile up at the surface the whole time I think, and this fort's in year 104 now, late 104
Might not actually be the same hoof, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was
These damn things fill up fast and stay full forever >>1075907 Well yeah, that's entirely true, but it's also a video game that eats FPS for each entity on the map, so it'd be nice if the stuff that legit has 0 use value would deteriorate in like, a year, at least while in a refuse pile which supposedly increases deterioration by its mere categorization

OpenCL Dorf Fort when?

>>1075905 I'm pretty sure a hoof would take a long time to decompose in real life.
Anno
Quantum stockpiles aren't so bad once you figure them out The additional value of having all your resources in one nice, compact location to fetch from is pretty nice
I mean I am effectively still NEET cause it's not real employment, but it's a "work program" that actually seems to have a path forward, so while I'm still not entirely convinced, I do think it's got a chance to land me in a paying job It's just taking a while cause I gotta get my whole mental illness stuff under control too so I don't suddenly disappear from society for a day at random
Anno
So its employment and training, like Job Corp? Thats def ET
S C
I mean, it's Supposedly training, but it's not actually training in any sense beyond "making sure you can and do show up for a work schedule and can do the most simple tasks humans still do in production" And it's not employment because I do not get paid, and my contract's with the government unemployment office, not the company we're effectively leased out to
Anyway I really gotta go now, cause it's icey as hell outside and while I have a lotta time, you sometimes gotta take it slow on these roads
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1075916 >>1075914 I really get you on the mental illness thing, thats a big part lf *of why its taken me so long to get back to school.

>>1075916 nothing wrong with that, takes a while to get into habits and you can see it like coaching drive safe
Oh I haven't been in my bedroom all day so I haven't noticed But whichever neighbour's fire alarm is in its end of life phase is still sending out its warning pips It's loud enough to be heard in my bedroom Although not as bad as when mine was going off Still Not going to be a fun sleep Maybe I should see if the building staff can do anything about it tomorrow

Well I guess an expected drawback to the roads being empty due to the holidays All the buses are running way ahead of schedule and can't be expected to show up when they usually do

I wish our public transit wasn't so reliant on buses and streetcars to support our subway lines We have some pretty great subway lines, but also far too few lines and no intention of developing them where they're actually needed

A new world has been created And I will build an incredible machine
S C
I'm actually going to have to use the planning mode for this This shit's gonna fucking bang
Anno
is it one of those machines that traps things in the stairwell and pours lava and water down it that's my favorite machine
Anno
sniffsfrog rook has been here...
S C
No, it is a megaconstruction I will utilize the quantum storages to create a well oiled production powerhouse
And then I'm gonna make an absolutely absurdly large, gold, silver and platinum-coated church on the north of the build, spanning however many Z levels this ends up being >>1075986 Perhaps I will make a blood sport colliseum for my dwarves to enjoy some fighting invaders Anything in a cage lives forever, so it's merely a matter of dumping the same amount or different amounts depending on mood in each entry, hitting a lever to raise the gate, and watch the fucking carnage
Anno
you should add a central stairwell you can flood with magma or liquid gold or something every fortress is better with a murder spiral
Anno
its a great way to kill titans and other annoying cunts if you can't just lock them away with an artifact furniture
Anno
>>1075985 i wonder if the dwarves would come watch if you had seats and food and stuff up there
S C
The planning involved on this one is gonna take some doing, that's for sure But I do have a mental image of what I'm trying to build, so it shouldn't be all that difficult Time consuming to make, but I think it'll be far more efficient than anything I've done before, and look way nicer too

>>1075990 I just disable it in the embark location search every time I start the game Sure it's an interesting mechanic to navigate in theory, but I really just do not want to deal with it Gets in the way if you're trying to make something that's aesthetically pleasing
Even rivers and waterfalls you can redirect if you want to
S C
My god this is gonna take a pretty heavy amount of planning Now thankfully, the strategy I was going to use was based on a misunderstanding of how stockpiles are handled Items laying on top of each other in a stockpile ARE counted as "in the stockpile", but they are also counted as like, "should be moved somewhere else" This is very helpful, because it means all my bespoke stockpiles for various stuff won't need manual assignment I think Goddamn it's like I'm programming
S C
No wait shit it's actually not particularly good This is gonna take some mucking about

i'm hungry but i cant get food because lazarus is on my lap
S C
The problem has been solved, though my concentration is suffering But this absolutely can work, I just need to set up an ungodly amount of stockpiles and stuff
S C
This stockpile tech is honestly most valuable for the FPS gains Just making space for stuff is easy enough in DF, but the FPS drain is what really hurts

if you were a plane what building would you crash into (i'm not a cop don't worry)
S C
Each production floor is basically gonna have this layout The production room is fucking massive because I intend to have bespoke stockpiles for various items in there, too, for example if I want to make some marble blocks, I gotta make sure I have marble available to the one making it, but it can't be open season on it for the other stoneworkers Not all of them really need this much space, but I like having things look the same, just going with a standardized design
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Ohayou!

I also intend to not only smooth, but pave all the traveling floor tiles Not like, paved tile, but like, floor tiles Of value Possibly marble cause man I've got a lot of that shit
Either that fire alarm from yesterday is still sounding off its end of life pips or some other apartment's alarm has also started doing it and similarly does not have anyone around to see to shutting it up What a real nuisance

>>1076047 >illegal lockpick set lotta words to write hammer
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
so true
canadian laws are weird about lockpicks its illegal to carry them around unpess you have a license and submit fingerprints and stuff but you may buy them online and possess them at home
rook
hmm any lockpick sets you could reasonably argue are s something else? maybe a set of tweezers? blackhead clearing set? chopsticks?
Anno
>>1076039 no unfortunately, hoping to proform again soon, I miss making music!
rook
hammer maybe????
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
any other objects are probably fine just picking tools specifically constitute intent to break and enter or trespass or what have you
same as possessing brass knuckles on your person, its illegal
Anno
there's probably a lot of stuff that could be used as a lovkpick
Anno
>>1076054but a sword and sme other martial arts weponry might be legit.
