help!
« on: May 06, 2013, 03:44:16 pm »

i love dwarf fortress but i am still kind of new at it. while i was playing, i pressed f1 to zoom to the caravan. but, instead of going to the caravan, it zoomed to Ast the farmer. i dont think i accidentally set up a keybind for this, but i have no other explanation. it does zoom to the same dwarf all the time. is this supposed to happen?

thanks in advance

You have simply bound F1 to follow a dwarf around - an easy mistake to make when investigating one of the little omnicidal shitheads. Hit H to bring up the hotkey menu and re-assign them in there. F1 by default is bound to the "Gate" - basically wherever your wagon is abandoned. Hotkeys are easy to assign - have a play.

Isn't it amazing? I've wasted probably two hours over the past week just staring at his profile picture. And that's on top of the hours I spend wasting time actually reading posts.
