Problem with "furniture has to be built indoors"

It bothers me too - i can see no reason to prevent users from making Pub under clear sky(i could understand this up to d18, though).

Dwarf Fortress game in comicbook format!!

Thanks for the link, i LOVE such DF related pearls! These iso-maps are amazing there, damn.

CRASH. Damn.

:E i never had one so far.

Very sorry for posting - but i love microcommunities i can see in some threads(some are open, some are not..).
I did not play today - i am too tired lately..i lost my master mechanic yesterday because of Nord's war white lion that could swim...it managed to swim into my fort and just ate him , what a LOSS(first dead in 25 yrs :E, many cried). I did not find way that allowed lion to get into fort, though. Weird mystery.
I retracted bridge where Nord mounted on that lion stood, Nord had drown, lion did not. After two SEASONS it found a way into fort somehow.
Damn.

Question: will i get migrants, if i change popcap from 60 to more(i have 68 men now that are too precious to start army, imho)?

I might just be completely blind, but I can't find Black Steel in the raws; what are the properties of this steel alloy? or can someone point me to where I can find it in the raws!

It's in inorganic_metal_ironworks.txt, [INORGANIC:STEEL_WOOTZ] , formerly called Crucible Steel.

Cheers, was looking in that file, but guess the big letters stopped me from scimming the details.

Anyway, is Smelting of Sun Gold borked? Sun Gold, Cobalt, and Ironwood are materials I just can't seem to be able to make, either as a result of lack of proper reaction, or game bugs perhaps?
I can see nothing wrong with the reaction file, but maybe the game doesn't like adding reactions to a original DF building from more than one file?

edit: Ahh, nvm, saw the reactions weren't part of the permitted reactions for dwarfs, so I guess it's intended?

Really, try the Control-F for "Find".

I recommend Crimson Editor and its "find string in folders", it's nice. Can search for "CREATURE:" and it lists all creatures, and doubleclick on found row takes me there. Programmers ofter need to find what function/variable is mentioned where. And CE leaves files open between sessions, so all my note-files open when I start CE.

Yeah dwarves don't make elfy sun gold or spellwood. Cobalt is just some afterthought.
(in current never-dig fort... would like mechanisms made of metals.)

All right, had good fun in no-dig place:
Too bad the river, falling off the map edge, makes for much flow calculations, and get 100 fps less than usual.

glad we brought the lions!
try out the archery formation.
must build a bridge, for more resources and animals. but that would take a LOT of logs.

our wooden junk bolts tear skele-hippo tendons a lot.

5-spans bridge gets completed! gather fruits. (135 fps)

Great resource, thanks

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to block certain weapons being used in the Altar of War. It rocks getting the occasional nice 'artifact' weapon, but half the time my guy just turns around and uses that weapon as the next sacrifice. Maybe you could block certain materials from being used and then make all of the special weapons out of that material. I don't know, not the best modder when it comes to custom reactions.

[Pan]

Well, I'm not entirely sure on this, but I think you could equip the artifact weapon to one of your ___lord/master soldiers via the [m]ilitary - [e]quip, specific weapon.

[Roses]

I know I can equip it, but the problem is if you have the Sacrifice Weapon running on repeat and you get one of the special weapons out of the sacrifice your guy will just use that for the next task. Was hoping there would be a way to stop him than checking the Altar after ever sacrifice.

[Still Standing]

Forbid the weapon is probably the only way.

[Pan]

 Looks like micromanaging is the only way  .

 I personally only use the altars for decoration, and I put them beneath the execution tower (for the occasional invader that steps into the moniter lizard / camel cage traps) so it's like a sacrifice to the blood god.

 Hi people. I have just went and added a page for the illithids in the genesis wiki. All I have written is based on experience, so I know there might be things that I missed out on, or is just plain wrong. So could anyone go and take a look at it, and perhaps edit and change, or add anything based on your experiences? (I'm not a native english speaker, so I know what I wrote isn't exactly wiki quality.)

 I'm pretty sure Deon would appreciate it if we could all help with his wiki. Theres a shitload of articles that are empty, and it's been months since the wiki was made.

[Medicine Man]

What labor does sacrificing a weapon use?
