#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

Was looking through my build options, I can't seem to find the blast furnace (or the magma blast furnace) under furnaces or workshops. Is it somewhere else, or am I missing something?

In another point, not considering the embark point cost, do dogs hold any advantages over mastiffs? The latter seems just better.

Also, I found a bug: the Gemforge's "Encrust shoes/boots with gems" job consumes gems without actually encrusting the items.

Try searching "blast furnace" in this topic. You may see a pattern.

Oops, ignore my common sense violation.

After embark mastiffs seems to be producing puppies pretty fast anyway, so that doesn't seem to create much an issue anyway, plus there are the issues with FPS if one wanted to use the dog horde.

Having a lot of dogs is also good for one's meat industry.

so, does anyone know how one can change sprites' pictures manually?

And once again, since there is a poll above, but I couldn't find any information about that, how all the shooting weapons except for crossbow working? My hunter continously trying to pick up axe heads while having a bola thrower in his hands.. Is there any workaround?

And another question - in description of Hall of the Dwarven King, FOuntain of Eternal etc, it says that spending time there trains Nature Magic skill.. But I couldn't find any information about that it is...

Does masterwork mod work in adventure mode?

Hi !

I'm trying Gaia world, and I have some pre-embark questions for you.
I generated 3 times the world, and I activated in the launcher all creatures and races.

• There is always a huge % of badgerman civilizations and great badgerman around, is this because there are a lot of forests in Gaia ? Or I was just unlucky ?
• Using the embark finder I noticed that Flux Stone is totally missing in the world, is this a choice ? Is it not needed in the long-run game ?
• What about aquifiers ? Are them (like the rest of the world) designed by you? So are they "well placed" ? Or should I remove them ? In my first game I played with aquifiers and I managed to play fine ... but I'm tempted to remove them in the Gaia game.

Another question, about the "embark anywere" tool, if I embark on a place with a civilization or tower (friendly), is it populated of it's civilzation or it's just deserted ?

[Justyn]

Open question: I'm having trouble getting a sericultural operation up and running; has anyone here gotten their silkworms into hives and is willing to share their secrets?

I've tried releasing my worms from their cages around the hives, and despite there being "Install colony into hive" jobs aplenty, my beekeeper doesn't actually put the worms into the hives. Has anyone else had any luck? And if you have, please, go into detail.

Also, in adventure mode I managed to start as a War Elephant, is that a Masterwork modification or it's normal ??

It was funny to kill a pack of 10 horses starting up just naked

[arclance]

so, does anyone know how one can change sprites' pictures manually?

If you mean the creature graphics (i.e. Dwarves) those are located in the "raw/graphics" directory.
If you want to change them for a saved game change the "raw/graphics" directory in that save.
You can change them by replacing the files for the creatures you want to change with a different set of creature graphics with their associated text configuration file.

Playing adventure mode as a imperial rifleman, get ambushed and shoot a kobold once. As i'm walking towards them, i get shot from out of the blue in the hand, and drop the gun. I then get swarmed by kobolds, who kill me.

[mavj96]

Anyone mind telling me how in the hell I access the pre-genned maps?

Thanks in advance .

how do you people get around with shooting weapons? Even forcing just one hunter to actually hunt is a hell of a job. He constantly picks up/throws down his crossbow and bolts.. And, unlike vanilla DF, he doesn't finish off his game when he's out of bolts - he just cancels the hunt.

By the way, I found a bug: stonetip bolts, made in stoneforge, are unequipable.

And one more thing - it appears, when I try to make vellum out of tanned hide in the tanners' shop game crashes. Tried a few times.
That means = no learning stuff for me.

[slay_mithos]

@Noin: Nop, the hunter going back after he has no more bolts is a vanilla thing.
I suggest you don't use bone bolts for hunting, or for anything out of training for that matter, as they tend to only take one stack at a time, and that is only 5 bolts.

As for stonetip bolts, and all other ammo types added by the mod, you need to specify them manually under Military > Ammo > Add new ammo.
they are not counted as bolts and have their specific category (stonetip bolts for that case, but the same for all others).

I know it sounds confusing at first, but once you get a hang off it, it becomes more manageable than the Material stuff, at least it is for me.

Thank you for your reply!
What about other types of weapons (axe throwers etc.)? Do I need to specify their ammo as well?

And about vellums? Is everyone having this problem?
