#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.

My fort just failed because of something stupid... No fish in the caverns, they refused to hunt (WTF) i had bolts and crossbows but nope nope nope (Damn vegan dwarves), then one guy refused to eat or drink until he starved to death (planting a colony of bees is worth your life nowadays), they didnt want to use the bridge (WTF) had to make a ramp... That about sums up the failtrain.

You will eventually run out of fish and animals anyway so you might as well take up farming.

I couldnt get to the planting stuff in time

Sorry Ishar. It is another one of those dwarf chocolate/wizards tower special curses/mages, that are probably all horribly unbalanced. No way dfhack can help ?

[YuriRuler90]

Meph, just had a caravan pop into my fortress while on fire again.

Using DFHack, I splashed water all over the caravan and depot. Where before there was 1 unit of Magma in a bag, there is now 1 unit of Brimstone.

Why can i cut stone at the jewelers workshop? and how can i remove that option?

Why can i cut stone at the jewelers workshop? and how can i remove that option?

It's a vanilla feature, not Masterwork.  Not sure that there is anything to remove it.

It's not exactly a 'fair' solution, but I have something for low FPS, even if it's a pact with the devil: DFhack's 'fastdwarf' command. It made the game playable for me, with as low as 7 fps. Sure, in the long run, it's obviously a cheat, but for me, it fixed the problem: my problem was a shitton of antmen in the second cavern. I used fastdwarf to build fortifications and a drawbridge, two thing that would've taken forever at that framerate. Then I breached the cavern, killed the antmen, and my fps came back up, close to normal.

I know this is a bit offtopic, but it may be a temporary solution to a lot of... erm... 'features', such as essence residue, undergroud constructions with thousands of zombies, things like that. I know there's autodump as well, but fastdwarf seems like a versatile solution, so I thought I'd share.

I just had a longname guy die.
"Iden Besmaretag Bunsothtat Kulin, Speardwarf has been found dead".

EDIT: No sooner than I posted that I think I figured out what caused it.
"The Speardwarf is caught in a cloud of acid cloud!"

After that, he lost grasp, sight, ability to stand, and couldn't breathe.

Does Millet and Rye only grow in specific biomes? I brought some for an above ground fort ,but there's no option to grow it.

re: Millet and Rye:  yes, both [BIOME:GRASSLAND_TEMPERATE]

@Rabblerouser:  was your speardwarf perhaps fighting a warlock; or in an evil biome that rains warlock blood?(if the latter is even possible)

He was fighting a Corrupted Spellcaster Saboteur" or something like that.

Trouble with fastdwarf is well.. I find it turbocharges food production (fish especially) and you'll have a TON of fish in your food stockpile.
That and it seems a bit cheaty when it comes to combat, as they can move faster than their opponent.

[smakemupagus]

Yep, that's the caste of Warlock that has an acid cloud attack spell.

Wizard fortress is best balanced against warlocks. It's too bad !FUN! you're just dwarves.

[billw]

My cage traps capture merchant horses and golems. Pretty sure they don't in vanilla. Am I missing something?

[Gamerboy4life]

There are no plump helmets...

Is that normal?

[billw]

Update on the cage trapping merchants: it caught an iron horse they had with them, the merchants disappeared (I just got a "the merchants will be leaving soon" message, but they aren't in the unit list). I pastured the iron horse to try and release it, but now it is "crawling around crazed"

/edit I unpastured the horse, and it slowly crawled off out of my fort, on the way out it didn't trigger my cage traps.
