See, a miniforge is like an Easy-bake oven...

re: fighting knowledge...well, there's two components, anatomy and technique.

...I like the idea of a semidragon interface. 

Oh, good, all new menus have mice! shameless suggestion plug

Is there a thread for the tag questions talk?

[Safe-Keeper]

I always thought of a mini-forge like those "mini-steam engines" you can buy for children.

Something for dwarf kids to use to learn the basics of forges and mimic parent behaviour. A bit like female dwarves playing with dolls, in a sense.

Kamudo here, providing Feedback on what I think about Dwarf Fortress #6.

I actually enjoyed the talk. It was very personal, and answered a lot of questions I had about Adventure mode. The humor in it was also very nice. I have to say, I look forward to the next talk, if it's as good as this one, then I'm all ears for it.

I've wandered how much control you'd get as a king/lord/etc over a kingdom, because it'd basically wind up being Dwarf Fortres...
But, Toady, you say beforehand how you can give commands to your subordinates and their groups...
Maybe have a guild of masons, who handle all mason jobs, for example. Or a King's Advisor, who handles foreign issues. Or some sort of right-hand who handles everything on-command. ?

I only just became aware of this - shame on me for not following dev_now more closely - so I'll only be starting on the transcript tonight.

I'm pretty sure you'd end up more like a noble in a fortress, where you get to command or request things from the various groups. So you could demand the masons make a bone floodgate in your quarters, and the masons could hire the mechanics and miners to flood your rooms with magma instead...     

I'm gonna go be nice to my nobles now O_o

just a thought on the whole DF recognising 'spires' and what not, would it not be possible to have it user designated via something similar to the zones menu, you set a zone which is basically a massive rectangle that encompasses all the tiles in the construction and then name it from there similar to how you would name a group on embark, then rather than just keeping it as a zone it would just select all the solid tiles/objects within that selection similar to selecting 'chop down trees' and just dragging a large rectangle over an area

that would also open up options to have them within the legends screen as an extension to information on a fortress

Yet another great podcast.  I don't know why, but I always find it really entertaining listening to Toady ramble off on creative tangents, like Elven nut-cracker dolls, Soylent Dwarf, and NPC Detectives in Adventure Mode (they'll never find the body in this trunk!).

All fascinating stuff, but it's unfortunate that only a half-dozen of at least, what was it, thirty something questions get answered.  I'm sure they're the interesting ones.

[The Doctor]

Yay, Aqizzar thinks I'm interesting!


Maybe...

Great pic!

Great pic!

Thanks! I made it! Yaaay. Death Note's "L" when theyre holding hands in a circle, kind of "yay".

Dwarf talk is always awesome. As a bit of a side note, I usually get these things off of the RSS feed, but this one doesn't appear to be on that and I am pretty sure I am not just being stupid or something.

Anyways, Toady should get better, and yay for all things dwarf fortress etc, etc.

It showed up on my RSS feed, at least.

[Asra]

Great news. I hope this means Toady'll be back to white soon.
