Damn it, Dwarves!
« on: April 15, 2012, 01:34:08 pm »

So, will Dwarves not take water from the caves or something? My CMD is giving me mad clean patient and give water spam because my water is still frozen over, but I have several perfectly working wells, the only thing is that they're in the cavern. Since normally the only ones who get hurt are my soap makers who get eaten by some savage creature, I could care less when they dehydrate and die. However, both my legendary herbalist/cook and my Militia Commander were wounded trivially in the latest ambush, each receiving a cut to the foot. They're lying outside, immobilized, and no dwarves are picking them up nor are they bringing them anything. I don't want my legendary Militia Commander dying from some infection or dehydration because my dwarves were too stupid to pick them up.

Am I doing something wrong here, or is the beard-sense with my dwarves just failing to pick up these two wounded for no particular reason?

Do you have restrict civs to burrows turned on? Enough hospital beds?

If adamantine is perfectly rigid, as shown by having 0 strain at fracture in the raw files, then the speed of sound in the metal approaches the speed of light. Adamantine musical instruments would produce ultrasonic vibrations, and cut off the fingers of the musician.

Marked as water source?

I feel this would more simply be solved by liberal application of magma to the frozen water sources, rendering them unfrozen.  Bonus points if you can avoid having them turn into obsidian, of course.

I feel this would more simply be solved by liberal application of magma to the [problem], rendering it [solved].  Bonus points if you can avoid [extreme long term problems].

If you have a problem in DF, just work off that sentence.

I second Oliolli on this. Also, that makes a badass quote Oli.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)

Make sure you have plenty of idlers with recover wounded/feed patients enabled.

Also make sure you have buckets to go with your wells. Having 1 bucket to haul water around will result in dwarven dehydration. I usually make a few dozen.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Do all these things, mark the water in the cavern (and the 3x3 area around the wells) with a water source zone, using (i)

Make sure your buckets aren't filled with lye or whatever, or make more buckets.

For your dwarves not rescuing the wounded, check if your 'hospital' (again a zone using ) has enough beds, and that there actually are idlers with the 'haul wounded' profession enabled. Also check if they're already ON a bed, if they are, deconstruct the bed.

This shouldn't work, but...



Right. Okay. Seems that [ i] [ /i] causes cursive. Which you've avoided by using < i> instead, which is admirable but somehow had the result of making everything, everything below your post cursive. It even affected the actual reply button, somehow. I've used two
< /i>'s to counter your unintended tags.

edit: hah, it still affects my avatar, rank and the topic title. Seems < /i> wreaks havoc. I'm curious if has the same effect. :P

edit2: nothing out of the ordinary. Fun, performing !!science!! on the forum layout. :P

Makes the world cursive

Edit: Edited above post to make whole page bold. I have figured out how to do so and will NEVER tell anyone :3
