Completed I want to be an Urist - A community Dwarf Fortress LP

[Omicron]

I believe you can assign an area as a 'dump' and than select the boulder (I think with v) to order it dumped.

 

[Krash]

Still disappoints me that you can't use totems as statues.

I wish you could make thrones out of sculls. That would be neat.

 

[Krash]

That bitch...

BTW, newb question, but how do you move a single boulder? I'm trying to figure this game out and I cleared out a space and wanted to build a stairwell, but there's a boulder on top and they won't build apparently. So... I know about making stockpiles, but can't I tell someone to move this one stupid thing?

What's probably happening is that the boulder is claimed for something else (likely a construction). Dwarfs don't move things that are claimed for other tasks.

If you want to dump something you do like this:

Make an activity zone (i), press enter once to spread it out as you wish then press enter again to finish. Assign it as a garbage dump from the (i) menu by pressing (g). Then you can designate stones (or p much anything else) for dumping by using d-b-d. You can designate several at once which is nice. Keep in mind everything that gets dumped is automatically forbidden, so you have to unforbid it if you want to use it (d-b-c). I like to build garbage dumps partially overlapping magma, since dwarfs will dump their crap into it then.

Some things can be assigned to be dumped automatically from the (o)rder menu, then (r)efuse submenu.

Bonus: ponder that I gave all those instructions without starting the game or checking the wiki (which is awesome btw).

for the god!

Personally I prefer the carpenter. Wood burners have no finesse when torturing an elf's best friend.

Where's that comic from? Looks p. good.

 

[Krash]

Muty, where you at?

Just thought I would post an awesome adventure mode succession game from the Bay12 forums:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=104399.0
The object is to find some interesting item and bring it back to a museum designed by the OP. I joined the Bay12 forum just so I could take a turn.

NOTE: I think there are some other Elric fans out there using who use the name "JagreenLern" on other forums, but the avatar I use on the Bay12 forum should be proof that it's the Jagreen you all know and love .

Muty, where you at?

I was just going to post an update, but I got news I'll have to travel this weekend and I won't be available for a few days. I don't think I'll be able to complete my turn this way. Can someone else pick it up and I'll take the next turn?

 

[Krash]

So we p. much have three choices then: wait for you, let Hellraiser have his turn, or someone else could take over. What's the Codex Consensus?

 

[Hellraiser]

Not that I would refuse the chance to bring glory to Virgintraded again, but aren't there some people who have yet to do it. I suggest we wait for Muty to get back.

I can wait I am a very patient man.

 

[Urist McLurker]

Wait for Muty, no issue from me, I can wait.

 

[Muty]

K guys I'll do my best to finish it in time.

 

[Cassidy]

Good thing we started this before minecarts.

Otherwise there would be a way to design an effective siege weapon against Prisoners of Ice, and that would spoil the charm.

[Krash]

I was waiting for something like that

 

[Hellraiser]

I don't think we would be able to build one anyway. The issue here is power. Unless there is an underground river nearby our only power source would be a windmill farm, on the surface, with prisoners of ice running around. And even without the servants of the old ones running around then we would need a ton of wood for axles and the windmills. Sure there is fungiwood nearby, but we need a ton of the stuff.

That shit is elven popamole. Real dorfs do not break the laws of physics, such a thing could be considered magic which is elven as fuck.

For a brief moment, images flashed through my mind of a game called "Elf Fagtress", in which you had to make your puny, scrawny emo treehuggers survive in a manly world through breaking the laws of physics with faggy-fey magicks until you've eventually generated enough paradox that reality shatters and your entire tree village is absorbed into the evermurk.

It was mildly interesting.

The new cancer that is killing the Internets have modded that already. It's called "My Little Fortress" and is a magnet for assburgers, Konjads, mentally deranged manchildren and yiffster hipsters along others the Internet Hate Machine must have no mercy towards. In short, a mod that gathers the worst parts of the DF community around it for obvious reasons.

I assume you mean the MLP mod?


One convenient aspect of having every deviant in the same place is that it simplifies the logistics of extermination. Just sayin'.

My secret plans! Why do you reveal them to the masses?

But yeah MLP must be banned with international treaty, along with all the other furry faggotry...

it's so beautiful

Uh... in an effort to show my support, I got another question.

Alright, I've got a standard down stairs that leads to an up/down stairs, so I designated on the next level below that, another up/down stairs, but nobody seemed to budge to do the work. Even more unsettling, in a moment of retardation, I designated a down stairs over the second level up/down stairs. The dwarf built it... and now they're trapped in the second level.

I can't designate a up/down on the new down stairs and I can't designate that it be deconstructed. So... is this some kind of a bug? I noticed that the newb wiki mentions a bug that sort of sounds like this?

In any case, the dwarves trapped in the second level say their path is blocked.
