Then check if you have anyone in the alchemy jobs.

But I do think it is probably the zone thing. This is the basic outline of the alchemist lab:

xxx
xux
uux

With the "x" representing blocked off portions and the "U" representing the open areas. You have to be able to get to the bottom or the bottom left corner to be able to use it. Try putting one in an empty room, with a level on space surrounding it, if you need to.

Holy crap, can't believe it was labor. I didn't have alchemy enabled...just kind of assumed it used one of the others, mechanics or something, because the wiki said it wasn't able to do anything in the game. Well that makes a lot of sense, thanks all.

Alchemy doesn't do anything in the unmodded game.  It does several things in LFR, though.

Nahril, I think the mod would really benefit from a comprehensive wiki resource. Has this been something you've wanted to do but not had time for? I would volunteer to help build one much like magmawiki especially now that the mod is so big and complicated. There are a ton of features and not everything is comprehensively covered in your manual

Yes, actually, I'm extremely interested in this.

I've never actually done anything with a wiki before (except read it), but when you release the new version I'll figure out how to put something up and do some legwork. I'm sure other people in the thread will be happy to contribute too.

Back again, delighting in the mystery and majesty which is LoFR.

A large group of mostly unskilled miners were carving upwards ramps when Soundsense warned with the clang of a block.  Combat reports showed this oddity -

Is this a DF bug?  A LoFR bug?  Not a bug at all, but a nefarious action from a disguised double agent, narrowly averted by a feather?  I'd made sure the land above the ramps was cleared of boulders, trees, and constructions - and the message was not accompanied by a cave in message or cloud of dust, so I don't think it was the work itself...  There's a lot of other dwarves around that broker, all of them appearing to be busily working on the ramps, and none throwing combat messages.

Rooting for you and your real life troubles, Narhiril. My dad's also into beating me into the ground sometimes, so I understand what your friend is going through. Of course, being Asian, it's culturally acceptable here... But still, my point remains. Good luck to you and your friends.

(I know. I'm a bit late and out of place with condolences with your RL issues. But I still feel I owe my fav mod developer a shallow comment about her issues before I post anything 

Your screen's a bit weirded out, Imp

It's common when skidding is involved.

It's common when skidding is involved.

Can skidding happen 'just because'?  Without combat, without any minecarts, with no (detectable to me) reason to dodge, no water for possible flow?

[Pan]

Maybe there has been a saboteur?

[Pan]

Whats up, Narhiril?

I thought it would be fun to start a LFR succession game if anyone wants in or wants dorfing. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=117853.0
Community involvement increases fun by over 50%

To make it more interesting, I removed farming (plants don't produce seeds), so a large proportion of the fort will have to be outside hunting and gathering at all times.  It should really force everyone to play with all the fun mod features and we might even lose.  I hope voidwalkers don't just wipe the floor with us, but I also sortof hope they do.

It makes me SO happy when I play LFR and find new things.  Of course, I play so little standard DF these days, I can hardly tell what's new to the game in general, and what's specifically new to this mod...


My first large migrant wave with this new map, so I pause and take notice of my various dwarves' gods, looking for some hints as to how many cursed folk I might expect to find nestled amongst my loyal ones.  I find a god of disease and blight, creator of a book and worshipped by... necromancers and my dwarves, hrm...  but no curses given, for all that I eye his worshippers among my dwarves carefully as I see them.  Ah, a second active god, still no curses.  And then a third, which makes me wonder, and wonder anew.

I cannot even tell if this is supposed to be a curse.  This could even be a blessing for all I know, and it's making visions of tiny manikens dance through my head....  especially as I consider this deity's virtues.  Err, and if it is LFR, that's actually a grammar typo, shrunk should be shrank.

It is LFR, unless you have any other mods.

Thanks for letting me know!  Nah, I like my LFR straight up.

[fire1666]

Hi guys, you might rember me saying i was going to make a mod for LFR allowing playing as the void walker, well sadly i cancled it since it was just too hard and everything was going wrong BUT NOT ANYMORE!!!
When the next version is released I shall decend on the text files and I will Start the second attempt of modding it
Quick question though how do I update the submod to next versions of either DF or mod
