This is how I play Dwarf Fortress!

I use pieces of it

I use it for modding examples

I don't, I was just curious

Well, High elves don't normally combust, and even Fire Beetles don't set stuff on fire without being provoked, so I think the magma pipe had to have had something to do with it. Fire Imps, probably.

[Grimlocke]

Couldnt have been fire imps, they were long dead and turned into bolts.
Maybe it were fire snakes?

[Mephansteras]

Hmmm, possibly.

[P-Luke]

I realise that you must be thinking of all kinds of new, fun things to add, which is great!
But I would first request that you focus on getting art for all creatures and entities you already have.

I know that a lot of "cool" players play without a graphics mod, but it really turns me off to see a 'C' moving over my otherwise interestingly designed screen. I also realise that you are not making the art yourself.. but you have to give the people who do a chance to keep up :p

Well, thats just my two cents though I love the mod otherwise, great work

[Mephansteras]

Hehe. Well, I won't be adding in much more at this point, not until the next version of Dwarf Fotress comes out. Too much to change, otherwise. Although I may go back to making versions that have other races as the focus, like I did with the Frost Giants. I still need to finish the Jawas...

I can confirm i am having the same issue with "wonky text" as other mayday users.

Not too much of a distraction, but would be nice to have solved.

I'm having a real issue with my workers dropping whatever they are doing (like miners dropping picks, carpenters abandoning jobs, etc) and just sitting around with "No Job" orders when there is work to do. After a while they go back to their job, but this is a game breaker for me. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm using 40d11 with the Mayday graphics.

Hmmm....it seems my guys never go "on break", is that what they are doing here?

[Mephansteras]

Sounds like it might be the bug where you have to set woodcutters and miners to use 2 weapons so they don't play the equipment dance with War Axes and Mattocks.

Just go to the military screen and set all woodcutters and miners to use two weapons and you'll be fine.

[Necronic]

excellent!

That aside, amazing mod. Very interesting to run across all this crap that I have no idea what it is.

Edit: How do I set them to 2 weapons?

[Mephansteras]

(M)ilitary->select a dwarf, go over to the number of weapons and hit enter. That'll bump it up to 2.

[Necronic]

so where it says #1 switch it to #2? I've done that but it seems to switch back from time to time

[Mephansteras]

That's odd, it shouldn't switch on its own to my knowledge.

[Mephansteras]

Random nifty factoid: Civilization Forge is now the 9th most downloaded item on the DFFD, and the most downloaded Mod. At least in total, since it doesn't rank versions of various files.

[Groveller]

One of my dwarfs is running about with a dagger, gaining knife skill. Is this part of your mod?

[Mephansteras]

Nope. But it is awesome!
