Re: Dwarf Fortress - Chaosye - 09-03-2009

Does this spell the end of Blindbeer?
Only days after the creation of the great brewery?

If someone is going to take the next spot, be my guest, I don't really care if you're next on rotation or not.

Re: Dwarf Fortress - Sponson - 09-05-2009

I don't want to do it because its not interesting because no one would do any story telling.
I wouldn't feel like I'm adding anything awesome if I did do the next rotation.

but I suppose I could play one year
also: My last major fortress had 2 stills running, and they ended up making 4700 dranks.

Re: Dwarf Fortress - Neonie - 09-08-2009

can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with designations? I go into Designations and I press "t" to select "chop wood". Then I press "enter" so they do it but no ones job changes and I remain with 6 idlers. What the hell am I doing wrong?

Are you clicking it twice and spreading the designation over an area that has trees?
Do you have any axes?
Do you have dwarves with the woodcutting job enabled?
To check that either go and press u to open up the units menu and then check each dwarf for their jobs, or press v and go to whatever dwarf it is and change it.

Thanks, I got him to cut down the trees, but the wood just sits there, and when I make a job no one seems to do it. I thought I could figure this out on my own haha, I think I was wrong Tongue

The wood sits there because it is used to make stuff. And jobs need a respective dwarf with the job to perform that job. If you hit "v", hover over a dwarf, hit "p" and then "l" you can toggle jobs.

Also if you want the wood to be put into piles, press p for stockpiles, so you can put stone and wood and other stuff in one area

I can get to the job choice screen but when I use my arrow keys to go to the next job it just goes down on the map, how do I actually toggle?

Figured it out

That is really helpful, and what I wanted to do.

Re: Dwarf Fortress - Neonie - 09-08-2009

Everything for me is running pretty smoothly now that I have the basics down. However you guys may be amused to know I accidentally built a room full of down stair cases instead of floor  Tongue

Re: Dwarf Fortress - Chaosye - 09-09-2009

Big Grin
Also is anyone going to continue the bloodline?
ANYONE AT ALL

Also neonie, remember to make beds and workshops and stuff
And farms, especially

Where did you embark anyway?  Like near a river or in a mountain or something

Re: Dwarf Fortress - Neonie - 09-09-2009

I've embarked about 6 different times now, doing a little better and learning a little more each time. And ya now I know to make beds, I've been looking into farms and harvesting bushes, fishing and what not, I just learned that I could make my own starting dwarfs which is REALLY helpful since I did NOT need that jeweler fag.

I also just learned you could build underground. I always try to make my place with both trees and above ground mining facility's.


This game is like The Sims for SMART people  :Smile

I posted pictures, but maybe my storytelling wasn't so hot.  Is anyone currently attempting to play Blindbeer?
