You can make a copy of the save, abandon whatever fort or adventurer you're playing, go to legends and export from there.

If you just want world generation information, you can export an image from the main DF menu while playing in a fort.

Here's a quick question. I had a dwarf recently get possessed; he's a glassmaker, so I assumed he'd use a magma glass furnace to make his artifact. He didn't use that, so I figured he might use a regular glass furnace instead, but he won't use that either. His only skills are great glassmaker, dabbling wood burner and a bunch of dabbling social skills.

I looked on the wiki and I'm fairly certain I have at least one of every possible building he could be making an artifact at, even the ones he has zero skill in. I'd rather not lose him to insanity because he's one of my better glassmarkers. Any thoughts?

This will probably sound immensely patronising, but do by "wood furnace" you mean a normal glass furnace? If not, you're probably better off building one.

Edit: Oh, you edited. This post is now redundant, move along.

[Jim Groovester]

You have both magma and regular glass furnaces currently constructed, yes? And you have a craftdwarf's shop also built, yes?

He should be heading to a glass furnace one way or the other. Make sure that none of the items in the shop are forbidden or the furnaces inaccessible, or anything else that might prevent him from using the furnaces.

[Zadiel]

Figured it out; a tantruming dwarf apparently toppled the one glass furnace I had when I wasn't looking.

What the hell is this 3d version of df, and is it better than nomral 2d df?

[Malicus]

If you've playing the latest version of DF, then you're playing the 3D version.  In an earlier version, there were no z-levels.  I'm told that it was almost like a different game.

Little question guys, can i make my marksdorfs practice with metal bolts?

I feel like embarking on a map with no trees, so no wood bolts.
And bone bolts are too much effort to bother with.

Can dorfs walk over beds?  And if that, can they walk over tables as well?

No.  They'll still gain experience killing enemies, though.

Yes and yes.  The only pieces of furniture dwarves can't walk over are statues, floodgates, locked doors, wall grates and windows.

Ok, I've got another one, my adopted cat constantly drop vermin corpses in the middle of my dining hall and its getting annoying having to select a few corpses to dump every few seconds, is there anyway around this?

[SomethingCreative]

Place a refuse stockpile outside your fortress (to avoid miasma). Any dwarf with the refuse hauling labor enabled (which is all dwarfs by default) will take dead vermin corpses to the stockpile.


Also, will dwarfs ever die of old age?

[darkflagrance]

^ yes, at between 150-170 years of age in vanilla.

If my fortress dies to a siege, I'll have the local leader who led it running around inside it when I reclaim or come back as an adventurer. But if I start a new fort, can that same local leader invade that one?

[Jim Groovester]

Yes, if the same goblin civ attacks you in the new fort.

Ahhh ty, that explains a lot.
