>What is the deal with the age difference between Coral and Lycaeon? Is there an in-game check preventing couples with big age difference from marrying? I didn't know about it. Not that it matters much to me, my ponies / dwarves are normally too busy to socialise anyway.
13 year age difference, limit lies at 10.
Wiki entry on marriages>Smelting down things uses a lot of fuel unless you have magma workshops, but chests and anvils should work fine.
Thing is, nothing has been smelted.
The steel chests are the only melting designated items in my stable.
It's not a huge loss, but I still wonder where those charcoal bars went.
>Lol, I know your pain. That's why I usually try to have 2-4 specialists in each field. It also helps when one of them dies.
Crazy Cow and Replica were our specialists, but they are... busy... right now.
>Yeah, this happened to me a few times too, but only in 0.34.11. On second thought, were you sealed off? If the traders or a diplomat can't leave, they may go insane because of it. By you writing about having a bridge closed later, I'm guessing this may be the case.
Maybe, I tend to be pretty distracted at times.
This is the second time I screwed up the trade arrangement with my home civ, I hope they wont get angry at me.
>Yeah, that's pretty low. How do you even do that? Spawn 4 water and 3 magma on the same tile, or on the tile above? If you already did this, you might as well smooth the obsidian, carve fortifications in it and use the Minotaur for target practice
DFliquids let you place magma, water and obsidian floors/walls.
If you place magma on a creature and surround the magma with water the magma will harden into obsidian and kill the creature instantly, regardless of what it is.
But absolutely never
ever do that, don't ever sink as low as to cast creatures into obsidian.
And like hell I will exploit the trapped minotaur as target practice, I am going to station my militia there eventually and fight it regardless of losses, many will die, but it will be an acceptable way to balance the cheat out.
>Runesmith could alter age, but last time I looked, the most recent version works with 31.25
Saw that, heard he'd update it by january, but by then I'll have another stable running.
>You need an airlock that will keep the depot open. And maybe I should re-locate my own depot closer to the trader gate. Loosing trade due to ambushes is damn annoying.
That'll be my next project then, I need to bolster my number of robots, my heroic sprite-bots are getting themselves killed.
>Yes and no. They take up little space, but when I need 30 beds, 30 cabinets, 30 chests, 30 tables, 30 chairs, 30 blocks and so on, several times over, and only have so much uniform stone, 30 chicken coops are not a priority. Especially with my approach to food. 5 is a bit above the bare minimum and works fine when I don't let the hens breed.
Whatever works for you.
>30x25 is 750 pellets. I'd say it is about half a year worth of supply for training a small squad. I wouldn't use wood, though. Even wooden bolts aren't any good and pellets are weaker. Besides, you need all the wood you can get for beds, bins, barrels and charcoal. I went for bone pellets. Bones aren't useful for anything other than moods and pellets anyway. That is, if you can make it out of bone, like crafts, you can probably make it out of something else. Plus in 0.34.11 they rot after a few years anyway, so there is no point in hoarding them. Carving bone pellets is labour-intensive and unpony, but you get "free" ammo for training.
The idea of wooden pellets isn't to use them as combat ammo, if I capture slavers, the last thing I'll want is my recruits shooting them in the head with steel BB pellets.
I could use bone, but to do that I'd have to collect all the skeletons I have laying around on the map, and that's pretty labor and space intensive, still, sounds like a good source of bone so I might just do that eventually.
>Well then, make a stockpile for steel combat armours, helmets and boots right next to the point in the armoury where the pony stands. Make a stockpile for training hologems right next to VR terminal and stable-tec terminal. I don't think you need batteries anymore.
I
know, improve effectiveness.
So much micromanagement so little time.
> Only criticism I'd have about them is how you don't use the "spoiler" BB code.
>Please elaborate. I'm on the fence about using spoilers to cover large pictures. I'm against putting whole reports in big spoilers as that makes the text smaller.
It's not
that small.
It just helps conserve thread space and make it more manageable to browse.
