clearly he just doesn't like seeing this in his inbox, and will continue to mock us for "necroing" a now not dead thread. Oh and I did learn something.

212. Kill ALL of the fucking yetis on your glacer if you want polar bears. ALL. OF. THEM.

EDIT: Welp, I just learned another thing which i hadn't considered.

213. be careful when setting up underground irrigation on a glacier. Part of the pump is not passable and will result in someone dying of thirst somehow (despite them being next to the water to be pumped.)

[Niccolo]

This. I'm getting quite annoyed with him.

Read his latest posts. They're, uh... enlightening.

So, what number are we at now? 214? I think it's 214.

214: Whatever you do, by God make sure you know exactly where the river/aquifer is when you're digging upwards. That... That was a very wet day.

215: Always check to see if a Forgotten Beast can fly.

I can only imagine how much of that fortress got flooded.

EDIT: Not so much a bad one as it is a suprise.

216. Unarmored Speardwarves armed only with homeforged copper and pilfered iron spears are suprisingly effective when used en masse. Just don't expect them to have much staying power on the battlefield. (to explain, siege hit and some unarmored speardwarves are beating back armord swordgoblins nearly supportless. I am actually shocked none of them are missing limbs yet.)

Surprisingly, not much... but since the fort was still nascent "not much" referred to "the entire goddamn thing, including the picks".

217: Bolt holes work best if you lock the door behind you.

218. You always need a better computer. No exceptions.

219a: In the rare event your fortress is not initially at war with gobbo's they will send a caravan in winter...

219b: This will not however prevent them from sending snatcher's ambushes and sieges along with the caravan.

219c: If you fight these attacks the caravan will become angered and attack as well.


Many fun times where had... And I got a beak dog out of it Now if only I had a breeding pair...

Lural: Others have tried, only to be crushed beneath my heel like vermin.

Like a vermin?

...

Crushed for the very first time?

I don't know why, but you put the PvZ ending theme in my head.

220. Even if they learned swimming, Dwarves will never cross the stream to go to the other side...

[Lielac]

221. "The dead walk. Hide while you still can!" really means "Close the gates and become completely self-sufficient or be assimilated into the zombie horde."

222: Not even the worlds most powerful computer could run Dwarf Fortress fluidly. 1.5 million processing cores will not help against a game running on a single thread.

223. When playing as a modded race, don't forget to add progress triggers to dwarves. You'll feel amazingly stupid when you figure this out after 6 years of no contact with them.

224: although a million crappy cores are useless, 4 really good cores can run 3 instances of DF simultaneously, and perhaps at a reasonable speed for the first few years.

225. When you get a moody dwarf demanding cloth, and all the cloth is at the hospital, it isn't enough to just un-designate the zone.  Mr. Moody will not soil his artistic fingers pulling the cloth out of the chest on his own, so you have to deconstruct the chest, first.

Technically, I almost learned this the hard way. i figured out what was going on, and he got his cloth. Made a very nice spear, too.
