Is there a way to melt an object?

I was wondering the same thing... I think the problem is probably that there's no way to set a Melt tag on an object as an adventurer. If that change can be arranged... then you should just be able to do a Melt Object job at the smelter, assuming all the buildings use Fort mode logic, since it would grab the nearest available melt-tagged object.

Seems that to get a pick, I'll have to do it with fortress mode. owo

Edit: jackpot, I found a pick in a lair~

I seem to have a problem with growing plants...

I do like this:

Code: [Select]

1)dropping seeds on a farm plot ('~' = farm ground, '.' = dropped seed)
@~~~

 .@~

 ...@

2)using plant/harvest (hold down tab and move)
@...

 =@.

 ===@I obtain the '=' tiles after sowing. However after a while they all simply disappear. Is it a bug, or am I just not doing it right?

Hey guys, I've been playing the adventure mode of DF for a month or so now, and have recently been trying the mods. However every time I try using the advfort workhsops, they place down and build, but I can never get the 'Tab' menu to open, I don't know if I am doing something wrong or what, looked all over for an answer, thanks for any help.

Edit: Finally got the workshop to be built, read that they need materials. Now just to figure out all the materials I need, any way to see?

[Timeless Bob]

I figured I'd link to my new game concept here, since it'll be using your utility pretty often.  Helpful suggestions and (of course) involvement appreciated.

Hello,

  I have been testing this plugin these days, and I have found an annoying bug. For work with this plugin I use the Dfusion option to create a site (you can sleep and your work won't dissapear), and then I define it as lair (your items won't be scattered), but when I deconstruct something all the items in the site are dropped in my feets. There are solution about this?

best counter measure to that is to keep every item in a chest, though I thought we fix that issue, which version of Advfort are you using?

[McFeel]

I use the one that comes with DFHack r3.

Sometimes continuing work on buildings just ceases to work for me. I'll careful-move into the building (carpenter's shop, for this example), there will be materials that can be used nearby (logs) but nothing happens. There's no working(-1), nothing. It just ceases to work of seemingly its own accord. This is the version that comes with the dfhack r3.

Removing constructions also spawns every loose item on the site at your feet.

fort mode jobs will cancel if the person needs are too high, so if your hungry or thirsty or sleepy you just end up not doing the job and go off to feed or sleep.

As it turns out, I needed to have the items in my inventory instead of laying nearby to start a build job, which I found odd. How is it you said the steps you needed to take to properly set up a cage trap with advfort?

[Rumrusher]

uhh one you need someone else to set up the trap for it to properly work due to adventurer's observe skill would disarm it right as you build it. traps don't really work on the living in adventurer mode but work great on the undead.
but to set up a cage trap you need to build a cage on the trap which is kinda impossible to do with a fresh copy of Advfort since Warmist add a fools lock on building so you don't accidentally build your crafts into the workshop.
you need to use Advfort -c or one of the additional bypass to arm a trap.

My dreams of caging and taming aurochs are but for naught, then?

well yes and no,
you could dive into Gm-editor and slap on a Civ for any wild animal and that would stop them from being hostile so you could tame them that way.
no as in you can't do that normally in Fort mode jobs since the Tame flag has no effect in adventure mode. so even if you tamed the wild beast normally they would still be hostile.
which being said it's easier to make a wild animal a companion.  though that would take a script or two to remove all hostilities from the beast.
