5000 years took me half a day.
That is new.

[Kruz]

What are the keys for navigating z-levels in the new version? It was shift + . and shift + , in the old. I can't find it in keybindings in the options.

[Flaede]

< and >
also (I think) numpad 5 and shift + numpad 5

[Kruz]

Thanks!

That's clearly a bug, but a very interesting one.  Does anyone know how to reproduce it?

I ask because I'm very interested in whether this dwarf-in-stasis can prevent the fortress from ever being destroyed.  In fact, could you post your save please?

I wouldn't do that, since I am using an unholy combination of my own modding products to change almost everything. The only change to Dwarves is just a little bit of DamBlock (it's a dangerous world). I doubt that's what is causing it though.

Shade-o, I've had a bug like that happen to me before. I think it has something to do with being severely injured but also being superdwarvenly tough, so that they don't fall unconscious from injuries. It puts them in the weird kind of stasis you describe where they don't require any food or water and they don't rest ever.

Knocking them out with cave-in dust usually solves the problem.

A herd of elephants just wandered by my fort and I found myself in dire need of war elephants. How do I tame animals? The 'tame large animal' option for the kennels doesn't seem to do anything.

Does it matter if you build a road chunk by chunk, or does it all have to be built at once?

[Mendtos]

So.. my craftsdorf is acting fey and is demanding stone bars and body parts. I slaughtered a bull, made a ton of stone blocks, some iron bars, and am preparing some turtles right now to get some shells. If this doesn't appease him is there any hope or should I just lock the door and slate it as a bug?

You have to build cage traps to catch them first. Make sure your elephants are in cages and you have an animal trainer that isn't doing anything.

If you're building actual paved roads, having chunks might be unsightly with the building menu, but otherwise it doesn't make any difference.

The shells did it. Thanks for anyone who was on the way with a reply!

You have to build cage traps to catch them first. Make sure your elephants are in cages and you have an animal trainer that isn't doing anything.

Then if you want to train them into literal War Elephants, you'll need to give them the [TRAINABLE] or [TRAINABLE_WAR] token in creature_large_tropical.txt (they're the first animal).

Surprisingly to me, elephants are tamable without even a dungeon master!  I'm not experienced with taming.

2 questions:

1. What can u milk exactly(i.e. pet cows)?
2. Sometime a simple job, like (b)uild -> (c)hair will get suspended infinetely, even though the dwarf responsible has the chair ""on him" and it's status is 'no job'. A bug?

[Lord Shonus]

If anything prevents the job from competing, the most common cause of which is an item occupying the tile, will suspend the task. You have to manually unsuspend it.

So far I found that "train-war-animal" only trains stray dogs, no matter how many tame Wolves / Camels / X I have in stock (even if i have no free dogs). Bummer . I assume you used to be able to make a War-Anything if it was tame?

*EDIT* Sorry this is for 2010, missed other thread.
