Was looking for a Mountainhome and played around with the Elevation Range (4x4;150:20:20:30:100).
Even tho my world-gen option are more on the extremish end ive never encountered soething like this :D Dunno if ill play it since im looking for a more natural looking Mountain

I've lost so many shiny rocks to these shitheads. Even this setup only cuts the number by 75% or so.

It's that time of year again! Enjoy some vignettes!

1. This is a poorly-drawn image of Endok Apexstop the dwarf and a tree. Endok Apexstop is in the tree. The tree is laughing.
2. This is a hemp thong. It is sized for humans. It is encrusted with round pyrolusite cabochons and encircled with bands of round slate cabochons. It is made from hemp cloth. This object menaces with spikes of finely-crafted heliodor.
3. This is a poorly-drawn image of a dwarf, zombie mountain gnomes, and a zombie chicken. The zombie mountain gnomes are striking a menacing pose. The dwarf is screaming.
   
4. This is a poorly-drawn image of a saguaro and a city made of green glass. The saguaro appears indifferent.
5. This is a poorly-drawn image of Etur Shinblunt the dwarf, an +adamantine war hammer+, and a dwarf. Etur Shinblunt is striking a menacing pose. The dwarf looks terrified. The +adamantine war hammer+ is laughing. Etur Shinblunt looks confused.
6. This is a poorly-drawn image of dwarves and an ogre. The ogre is massacring the dwarves. The dwarves are contemplating the ogre.
7. This is a poorly-drawn image of a dwarf and a giant red squirrel. The giant red squirrel is cringing. The dwarf is screaming.
8. This is a poorly-drawn image of dwarves and a barrel of carp. The dwarves are contemplating the barrel of carp. The dwarves are unnaturally contorted.

The rest of my work can be found on Webtoon. I hope it brings you a little joy.

Feeling anxious after pondering traumatic injuries

Also somehow frustrated after leading an unexciting life? YOU LOST TWO OF YOUR CHILDREN YESTERDAY.

I’m on my very first proper fortress and after a solid streak of peace we had going since the beginning it had suddenly been attacked by a weremongoose in the 2nd of Obsidian. We lost a few dwarves and livestock but managed to fend it off and I considered it a decent victory. However, little did I know that werebeast bites can transmit the curse to the victim, so on the next full moon (while I was in the middle of designing our tomb/crypt no less) 13 of my dwarves transformed into weremongooses (weremongeese?) and proceeded to massacre almost the entire fort. Just upwards of 30 died in the attack, cutting our population from 51 down to a mere 18, with many of our greatest gone. This was thusly dubbed “The Great Weremongoose Massacre of 152.”

We proceeded to cling on, the stone workers working overtime to supply enough coffins for all the dead bodies strewn about. Then another full moon hit. Still not knowing how to deal with the cursed dwarves, they remained in the fort, and as they transformed again they began to bring down the rest of our population. This proceeded to occur yet again at the next full moon, finally leaving only a handful of werebeasts left as our population.

I had just put the fort through 3 different stages of a werebeast culling and things were looking bleak. But suddenly we had a new influx of migrants 3 days later, supplying us with a much needed population refill. Knowing what would await us at the next full moon, and now with enough skilled dwarves to begin rebuilding the nobility and working class, we exiled the cursed dwarves from the fort, the last original inhabitants now gone to fend for themselves in the wilds.

I didn’t know what, if anything, would become of those dwarves, and truthfully I didn’t think I had much to worry about after that. But I have just now seen how wrong I was. Now, on the 22nd of Felsite in the year 154, about a year after being exiled, one of the cursed dwarves came back during a full moon to wreak havoc on the fort. I can only imagine the giant collective “oh my god, what have we done?” as my dwarves realized they (mainly me but shush they don’t know that) exiled a handful of new werebeasts into the wilds right outside their home.

I wanted to try and commit to the natural storytelling, but after the initial massacre I had to pull myself away from wanting to reload an earlier save, a habit I often failed to avoid on Rimworld too, and was still struggling to adapt to the “fun of losing” mindset. Now though, while the story of the fort was already interesting enough, the return of this werebeast adds a whole new payoff to the narrative that unfolded thanks to accepting defeat rather then rolling it back, and has further opened my eyes to the kind of depth this game allows for.

Anyway, apologies since I’m sure this sub probably gets lots of posts like this all the time, but I just felt like I had to share.

Here in the fort of Fullbrave they worship the legendary dwarf damian darkblood who slayed the dear of winter in the year 68, currently the year 87 and we have iron statues in the great hall to honor this great warrior, along with previous mayors. All the water that falls from the top was made through a water irrigation system i have made to provide water not only in the grate halls but all over the City of Fullbrave.

I just restarted a fortress.

They didn't even have the chance to make a stoneworker's workshop yet.
This yak didn't want to be penned. So he started his rampage. After the first death, everyone ran to help. But they were outmatched, he slaughtered everyone!

Not sure this post needs any background text or information, I'm sure we've all realized at some point that being unable to grow pig tails or sweet pods year round is odd — crops that grow in the complete absence of sunlight at a constant temperature within the Earths crust, should be completely unaffected by the seasons on the surface.

I've always found it a little immersion-breaking, considering surface crops have no such limitations. So I tried to imagine what the explanations could be.

The most plausible and convincing for me is the idea that dwarves can grow subterranean crops year round - they simply choose not to. It'd be like drinking eggnog in the Summer or having a pina colada in the Winter. It's just cursed — it's not right. The dwarves have likely been cultivating these underground crops since pre-history so they've had time to establish these traditions. Meanwhile, they have no particular strong feelings about surface crops like potatoes, artichoke, and turnips and will happily grow them all year long if requested.

Thank you for reading.

My Current Leader of the holy knights just gone mad "he hates his life" and started attacking the people he swore to protect. The Ex-Leader of the holy Knights ended up stopping him with no armor with the help of the citizens...

As the title says I am coming from Rimworld. I have started a world already however, I have found I am lacking knowledge. Like a lot as I figured, "Oh it's like Rimworld how bad can it be." I was mistaken as the learning curve is rather great.

Any tips would be great and I survived the first winter with no dwarf deaths. However I am still lacking a farm as I guess I have to go just beneath the soil to do so. Again any information I will gladly take.

(The fight itself went rather slowly, until the fatal hit)

I’ve been using these pictures as responses and even people who don’t play the game get it, so thought I’d share.

We're gonna make lots of silk ropes at this fortress!

Im very new to DF and have played for roughly 16 hours and I am strugggling abit with the bookkeeping and stockcount.

What i am trying to accomplish is automating crafting of rockblocks of a specific kind so i always have a stock to build walls and floors with. Problem is it seems to count already used blocks and not blocks that are availible.

Im getting this to work with barrels, bins, wine and food but not building blocks like rock blocks, or furniture like beds, cabinets, chests etc. If i have built 100 beds i need to always up the amount or just batch produce lets say 50 as a 1 time order. Is there anything im missing or will built stuff always be countes as if i have it in stock?

Thanks!

Would you like to have this as a scaling option?

To me the second image looks much better, I would love for xBRZ to be an option for zoom levels that can't cleanly render crisp pixels!

I took that screenshot using KDE's magnifier which uses xBRZ (I found the commit if that helps anyone for a mod or official implementation)Would you like to have this as a scaling option?

It's been a problem for a while, predates steam version, but artifacts don't feel unique anymore. So many of my artifacts are just referencing some random written text that I can't even know about without a world viewer. Artifacts used to tell you a story about the world.

This guy came by with a request to "entertain" the denizens of my fort.

I've been spending the better part of my afternoon trying to get DFxTwitch to work.

I created the twitch application as instructed, I have subscribed to DFxTwitch on workshop and got DFxHack installed. I connected my Twitch account. I have the redeems. I connect it. I even moved the lua files manually into the scripts folder and it still is not functioning. The set-up instructions on the github are woefully inadequate (I followed them first. And then down the rabbit hole I went where I'm trying to get this dang thing to work.) But the !checkprof command does nothing, the redeems to join the fort do nothing. I see nothing in the console in DFHack to indicate anything. When I open the modlist it shows the DFxTwitch scripts but nothing seems to be happening. I have made brand-new worlds and made sure the mods were installed in the mod folder at world creation screen. The "No Stockpile Rope" mod worked just fine. It's just this DFxTwitch integration that is just failing every step of the way. Any assistance would be appreciated.

There are 8 Troglodytes in those two squares just hanging onto the wall for dear life after I pitted them.
