Are Rutherers good pets?

Are Rutherers good pets?

I think as long as they have never entered combat with a dwarf, they'll be fine. Once they've gotten a taste for dwarven blood, though, they'll attack 'em even if they are tamed.

My last few fortresses have had no iron bearing ore, is this maybe something I did? I adjusted the world gen to raise the minimum elevation (for flatter areas by volcanoes) and set minerals to 200 .

Lots of gold and copper. Even a little aluminum, but not a trace of iron. What can I do?

Is this a feature or a bug? If it's a bug it should be kept as a feature, if it's already a feature I once again applaud Toady for all the little details he adds to this game

Is there any way to define a digging designation through multiple Z levels?

I'm going to get RSI soon unless I work this out.




edit: I am clearly illiterate

[Sutremaine]

You can hold the mouse button down and move between z-levels, or create a macro in-game or out. There's no way at the moment to designate a cube for digging.

Not technically a gameplay question... but I guess it's best to ask it here:
Dwarffortresswiki.net is no longer the wiki, yet some old threads end up linking to it. Is what's there just the remnants of Google's ads? Looks like a weird site, but redirects seconds later to Google Adsense.

This is the new wiki (if you didn't already know), and the articles were all carried over. You can access the old articles from the wiki as well, in case they reference something version specific.

Recently my fort received the barony offer and I decided to reject, just to do something different. When I did the liaison went off without setting the trade agreements. If I keep rejecting, will I never get to make trade agreements again?

They're fine with it.

[Renzuko]

okay...

two questions...

a. do mask's interfere with helmets

and b. how do i modify the game, so that my dwarves can make masks

learnt about them from an artifact a child made in one of my old forts, and when i looked em up i was like "sweet, more coverage for my dwarves"...i kinda imagine dwarven helmets being kinda like this

or possibly just like putting a turtles shell on your head...

Play the Genesis mod, where Deon and myself have fine-tuned loads of things. Toady has no time to tune ore frequencies or animals.

If you want to stick to that embark... make lots of weapon traps full of wooden spiked balls. Then melt purchased anvils and enemy equipment, to make your own.

If you want to burn goblins who are in wooden cages... with a bushfire... try my current raws (in Genesis forum thread) where I've included Warlord's bonfire mod.

Should turtles be walking on land? And can I now make them pets?

Adventure mode:
I realised I may have gotten things mixed up with the attributes, partly because of the semingly semi-random nature of speed and also because of the Super-human/dwarf/elf part of the attribute descr.

I initiatly believed there to be differences between a Superdwarven strong (strength) dwarf and a Superelf strong Elf. My thinking was that since the dwarf in the creature_standard file had a bonus to its strength, the dwarf was stronger at "Super" strength.

I then realised that perhaps the ++/-- part of the creature_standard file (PHYS_ATT_RANGE part of it) was only for creation of creatures during worldgen and when the engine creates new creatures (which I don't know if it ever does, appart from worldgen).

Speed also seem to have some kind of racial modifier tied into it, as well as a random element. Do we have access to any of the files that modify or set those modifiers?

Ze questions:

• Am I correct in asuming that a Super-somewhat  strength is as strong as a Super-other strength when it comes to attributes.
• Is the PHYS_ATT_RANGE used only during the creation of creatures?
• Is there any difference in how attributes are handled in Dwarf mode for creatures and in Adventure mode?
• What files, if any, can be used to modify speed modifiers?

I just caught my first egg laying creature I wished to domesticate. They're now in a fine pasture with some nest boxes. I've only got one female so I need to start a breeding program before I can even think about harvesting them for eggs. (plus their meat and bones might be more valuable to me)
How do I keep dwarves from taking the eggs so that they may be hatched?
