*Sigh* I'd grab you a screenshot if i knew how. They're in a pasture on the oppossitte side of a river bed to my entrance, (Was a river till i had fun with floodgate !SCIENCE!), they're also not auto adopters. As babys you can disable adoption, (they come defualt that way). But as soon as they hit adulthood they seem to become adoptable and are automaticlly assigned to a dwarf, regardless of weather he's had any prior contact, or the prior adoption settings.

I'm talking thinks like Goats, Horses, Turckeys, Chickens, e.t.c. here doing it.
That's very unusual, I've never heard of it happening. Do you have any mods?

Alt + PrntScr*, paste it into Paint, upload it using imgur or whatever site you like, post the link for the picture itself.

eta: *with DF window the one currently active.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Quick question, how does one remove the graphics from a mod (Genesis for me) to revert it to the original vanilla graphics? I want to make a movie that doesn't bug when it plays as the symbols get distorted when movie making in Genesis.


Edit: And another ?: Does anyone know how to use ASCII Draw?  :)


If I am correct, you can go to your init file (data/init/init) and set [GRAPHICS:NO], which should disable them. I haven't mucked much with graphics myself, though, so that could be wrong.

The printscreen key on your keyboard should do the trick for a screenshot. Alt+printscreen will limit the screenshot to your DF window, then go to Paint or a similar program and paste it there, then save, upload to your image hosting site of choice, and share it here.'

EDIT: NINJA!

Are you sure these animals weren't brought as pets by immigrants, Darth? It's fairly common.

"Fairly common" meaning that your pastures will be crowded by Urist McLegendaryLyeMaker's pet boar who can't be butchered and who'll kill the other animals.

Luckily pets are easy to dispose of.

Oh yes. Many people bring bloody pets. It's a nuisance.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

Some people have a no immigrant-policy, I have a no cattle-policy. The only types of animals I accept for my fort are the easy-to-maintain and useful dogs and cats. They provide enough tallow to produce soap.

Magma pastures are the best!

If I put my marksdwarves up on a wall or a small tower so that they are on a higher z-level than the enemy, would they still be able to shoot them?

And does a higher z-level give a better "view range" (i.e, does it allow ambushers to be spotted further away?)
