No man, he's totally friendly. Take his stuff.

[Stormbuilder]

Holy moly. I was minding my business when he finally attacked...and got completely crushed by my mountain tuskoxes. Can I wartrain these monsters?

[Tarkol]

My miners are dropping like flies.

For whatever reason my miners are randomly suffocating. I do NOT have harder mining turned on. When I checked DF deathcause it told me they suffocated. I noticed that my miners like to dig diagonally into large sections im carving out and eventually dig too deep and die. I thought this had something to do with them blocking off air flow (i guess?) but the last time one died he was on the surface next to a lake. Dead as a doornail. It's been a while since one died but I'm really tired of losing legendary miners to absolutely nothing. Any tips?

[Hefateus]

Are your miners in the masons guild?

[Tarkol]

The ones I embarked (the dead ones) were not, the only miner i have up now is indeed masons. However I thought that the guild bonus of not dying only took effect with harder mining turned on. I guess not then?

[thistleknot]

I disabled all rendermax buildings (i.e. illumination under furnaces).

and I see I need candlebra to build alter of armok...

am I fucked and can't build this building now?  I just thought these illumination things were used for just illumination and not necessarily for reactions/buildings for various industries.

nm... realized I was spelling it wrong when searching through the raws and there seems to be two candelabra's... an item as well as a furnace

on further note, I just realized fires can be used to clear cages of baddies!

I'm going to ask the silly question of, "Did you have Harder Mining turned off when you genned the world?"

Otherwise, the RAWS look fine to me.

In your saved game folder, check the inorganic_zwarpstone.txt file.
You should have various !NOWARP! entries.  For example:

!NOWARP!INORGANIC:LIGNITE_DUST]
...
...
...
!NOWARP!INORGANIC:COAL_BITUMINOUS_DUST]
...
...
...
!NOWARP!INORGANIC:ANTHRACITE_DUST]

[Tarkol]

Thanks Billy Jack, I found the problem. I think I turned harder mining off right after world gen. I added the nowarp for the dust entries, thanks a lot!

[Meph]

You cant do that after you already genned a world.

How come that gem over there is flooding my shaft? 

[Meph]

How come that gem over there is flooding my shaft? 

Because its a magical gem. 

[FengYun]

It's a special water-producing gem. Next time you should be cautious. :\

[kamikazi1231]

How come that gem over there is flooding my shaft? 

The tear of armok. It will flood forever. Mine it and use it to transform a changeling into a waterling. You can use this to artificially fill up a massive water resevoir. The tear of armok should have paused your mining with damp stone as a warning. 

Go check out the manual. There are many things you can unearth in masterwork.  That gem is probably one of the least problematic compared to some forgotten evils buried in the stone.

[kamikazi1231]

Yes, that looks fine.

Just the PLANT_MAT:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT should be just GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT.

Thank you. I mostly just butchered some code from the distillery with the medicine reaction.  I wiped out most of my plants and seeds on a 200 dwarf flu filled fort. Would have starved if I didn't have 400 animals running around.  Now we have 50 animals and drink water. But I'll get my plant industry back up when I clean up all the vomit

[Parhelion]

I always try to get my civilians their favorite pets from the elves and drow, when available.  It's just a thing I do, being the benevolent hand of Armok that I am.

Unfortunately, nearly half of all of my dwarves -- no matter what game version -- end up having a love affair with landmines and turrets.  To a lesser degree, they also favor 'transformative' critters that aren't actually animals.  There is an obvious preference for things that self-destruct or aren't cuddly.

Is there a reason for this?
