I always connect therapist on embark screen, then i check what dwarf is best suited to a particular job and add skills for that job, that way you get the most out of your dwarves.

This doesn't actually matter. I discovered quite recently that a dwarf becomes well suited to whatever jobs you give him/her at embark. The only reason I use it is to check castes and, if I plan to take a soldier with me, see which dwarf has the best attributes for it.

How can you tell that you have a mage on embark?

Using dwarf therapist. You can connect from the embark screen onwards.

I already knew this, but specifically how? Is it under their traits tooltip, or is sorcery auto-enabled, or what?

EDIT: Oh god, sorry, just noticed this was the bug reporting thread, not Discussion. On a more on-topic note, when I'm looked down through the list of stones you can embark with, I noticed that Living Stone is listed twice, one right after the other, at two different prices.

Easiest way to see is to group by caste, but you can also see the caste when hovering over them at the top.

I noticed a few double entries, I'd list them all, but I'm heading afk for a bit.

Ore bearing rocks are listed under Economic Stones when designating stockpiles. I'm not really sure if this is a true bug or not, but it's going to be tedious for everyone to have to go through the list and disable the stones themselves.

In the meantime, simply searching for the keyword 'bearing' while making said stockpiles will make this go by as fast as possible, imo.

I think it's intentional, since if they were classed as metals they wouldn't be ore-bearing, but raw ores. You're suggested technique is probably the best one for it though. Search bearing and hit p

The metal ores themselves are in there as well, presumably because they'll show in place of/in addition to the ore-bearing if they were still classed as metal. They're all one after another in the stockpile list though, so it's not too difficult to scroll down to them and just spam enter as you go through them. Although, if you're lazy, you could record a macro to do it for you in future forts and ore stockpiles.

Zoop!

Damn. I didnt think about the stockpiling. The new "ore" you get is actually no ore... I had to do that to fix the slag-bar issue. Maybe I can do a workaround... not sure.

In the end it appears that the ore processor causes some issues I did not anticipate, like the embark finder not recognizing them as metals, or the stockpiling of ore... I either have to find a way to fix that, or I might go back and remove it. I liked the idea, but if the DF mechanics cant handle non-ore ore, then there is nothing I can do about it.

[Linkeron]

Shame. It's pretty cool though. I think I'm gonna stick with 3h for the moment anyway.

[ElenaRoan]

Once it can be made optional it won't be a big issue, put a note on the button saying that you won't be able to search for the presence of ore and to use DFHack's prospect command if you want to make sure there's ore available.

I'm liking the new reaction names, no more guessing what each ore produces.


*chuckle* just started mining operations to locate platinum...kinda think the conversation would have gone like this:

Miner: we just struck native gold!
Mining Overseer: You mean gold bearing rock?
Miner: No, native gold.
Mining Overseer: Ah.  I think we'll just leave that where it is.


Much as I appreciate being able to leave around 5 metalwraith's in the walls I don't think you intended that *grin*

I was looking at the raws, and I noticed that some creatures and monsters have their Frequency as 100 and their Population_Number in the thousands, while other creatures (such as the warklin mauler) have theirs unchanged. Is this intended, or...?

[Srial]

Quick question / possible bug report.  I searched but couldn't find anywhere this is discussed.

In V.3g you posted this in the changelog

Oh, and a rather big balancing impact is done by a small change. Guild-members and mages will appear naturally now. At embark and as migrants, with a rate of ~2/3 normal dwarves, ~1/3 guild members and a few singular mages.

I was super excited for this change because I am having a ton of trouble getting a guildhall to work (making coins is a pain and I'm not even close to figuring out how to get a coin mint created yet).  I enjoyed the randomness of guilded dwarves showing up in V.2.   

I've had a V.3g for up to about 70 dwarves before 3h came out, only 1 showed up with a caste.  And in my current 3h fort I'm up to 25 dwarves and none of them have shown up with a caste yet.

I suppose it could be just a case of really bad luck, but I'm thinking 1/3 of my dwarves aren't coming with a caste.  Is there a way in the raws I can turn that on?

Thanks much, love Masterwork.  It makes DF fun for me.

Srial: It might be that I only changed the pop-ratio in the raw set of the default tileset. I think I forgot to do it for ascii, ironhand and phoebus as well. My guess is that you play one of those tilesets.

[Srial]

You're correct, I was using Phoebus.  So I might be able to dig around the raws in the default for this ratio and find that and move it to my set.  I'll give it a whirl, thanks. 

[Broseph Stalin]

I think you left REACTION:CHEAT in the permitted reactions.

[Meph]

Yep, I noticed.
