Pretty sure I failed a few classes because of Dwarf Fortress. I mean, really, building a gigantic obsidian phallus 28 z-levels high is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than Intro to PoliSci.

Oh wow, Dwarf Fortress sounds so melancholy on the piano.

That's really cool on piano. Its the perfect music for adventure mode.

That is pretty awesome, but what sounds like the stuff that should be in the foreground is really overshadowed by what I would guess is the background piano. Makes it a little difficult to listen to. The problem does go away around the middle mark however.

There is one part at around 1:10 that I dislike; it doesn't translate well from guitar -> piano. Other then that I like it.

Mind hinting me to a part in the piece that sounds like what you are are talking about, Nik?

Hrmm... giving it a couple more listens I am not too sure about what I was complaining about... Listening again it sounds overall pretty good.

Sorry Rex, haha

So I suggest we start this weekend. Who here agrees? Remember that we can get someone who isn't busy to start it and that you will have one week to do your year in game.
  • #158
  • 14 December 2011 - 11:13 PM
I am going to a friends 18th on Saturday so i can't start it. Should we figure out what kind of area we want to start in or just let whoever goes first decide?

How about it has to be a little evil, nothing all good.

Edit:
So here the list that I made through a randomizer thing. If you have problems with when you are going please try to inform someone at least 2 days before you have to take it.
List is as follows:
  • Super Pow
  • Nik
  • Rex
  • Supah
  • Rey
  • Brocky


Sounds good everyone?

Sounds good. Sorry about the BCB Commune fort. I'll start it back up again when I get stuff in order :[

Yeah that seems fine for me.

Yeah, about that: I don't think I'll be able to participate in it. Sorry. :(

No problem man, we did put it off a while hehe :unsure:

Yeah sure but I'm not sure how we are going to pass it on plus It's alot of pressure to pick the spot and stuff.
... maybe we could use drop box... or whatever works.

Don't worry too much about the location, just try not to make it too easy haha

Am cool with the list order.
Hope i don't get put in charge right in the middle of something bad fun

Picking a starting area isn't too hard as long as we aren't in a area that's not too hard but still challenging we should be fine. like Untamed wilds or wilderness should probably be fine or we could go for haunted for a bit more of a challenge.

A river nearby might be helpful too because we could channel it into the fort and set up a safer fishing and water spot for Dwarves, or an underground one if someone is up for tunneling for underground caves

Super Pow, you are officially up! Do awesome as I know you will.
  • #168
  • 17 December 2011 - 05:14 PM
Oh, and dont worry about any decisions you make. Like I said before, the more chaos the fort is when I get it, the more FUN I'll have :)
  • #169
  • 17 December 2011 - 10:44 PM
Would people be ok with posting pictures of the fort between turnovers? That way we can see it evolve over time and possibly locate things when stuff gets too hectic.
  • #170
  • 17 December 2011 - 11:30 PM
I wonder what our fortress will be named.

Also how long do we have to take our turn?

Ok guys I was wondering if you could test something for me, The link below is to a region and a fortress I just made. It would be awesome If you first off see If you can download it straight off the link and secondly see if It can be loaded Into dwarf fortress when it is in df_31_25_win > data > save after you unzip it.

Thank you :D

You will have a week to complete a year in game. It is awesome if you don't take that long and with an explanation you can take a little longer.

  • #178
  • 23 December 2011 - 02:27 AM
Sure, but as a warning I might get swamped the christmas stuff. I will definitely finish before my week is up though. Also does anyone know a way to get an image of the fortress? So we can have a bit of a timeline thing going on?

Man, i am noticing that list is severely lacking in me. What a terrible tragedy.

What do you guys think?

Who is up next cause he it is: Linky

So not too much happened. Got a ton of migrants and I sent them to engrave stuff until I knew what to do with them. I also found a cavern for someone to explore way down low.

Little issue... you guys have your settings different then mine, and... well, I have no idea what I am looking at now:

  • #187
  • 31 December 2011 - 02:41 AM
So here is the problem, I told the chaps to engrave everything so the walls now are engraved which makes them a bit annoying to make out, as the floor is also engraved. What you have there is this:

  • #188
  • 31 December 2011 - 05:21 AM
Ah. I usually set engravings to Obscured in the d_init file, it makes engravings just change the tile to a shiny version of the wall/floor. Too bad it doesnt work Retroactively... I'll have to deal with it. Thanks for pointing it out, Nik!

No prob Supah

You can easily just pull out the art files out of the save game folder before uploading it, so any of us can use any tiles we wish.

Today's going-ons:

1. I obscured all of the engravings. They can be unobscured if you wish, but I personally like to be able to see the floor and walls :P

2. One of the carpenter's died shortly after I started playing. She had no upper body; unfortunate! So, what I did was...

3. I created a burial chamber. This is located between the stone working level and the mass-smoothing area. Its a small area with walkways surrounded by pits, with statues against the walls. Coffins are on the extremities; top and bottom.

4. I noticed we have no water (at least none in the winter) due to all of it freezing up. I started working my way into the cavern and, tomorrow, I will try to create a secure area for water.

5. I made the farms produce year-round.

6. I finished the rooms for one of the wings; I'll probably make another wing too.

7. I moved our refuse stockpile indoors, but it is getting almost no use. Anyone know why? They are usually always full in my games. Maybe its the cold. I used a little trick with with floors in order to prevent miasma; don't worry about that.

8. Booze for everyone! I started production of more booze.

More to come tomorrow!

Our fortress has a disturbing lack of chickens.

Awesome update Rex, sounds fun.

And screw chickens. Not literally though. Why would we need chickens again?
  • #195
  • 02 January 2012 - 04:09 PM
can get lots of eggs, meat and bones from chickens since they breed quickly.
I always like to embark with some feathery friends

Remember to put new animals in the pasture. We had one starve to death already.

Honestly, I never had animal farms. Normal farms make soooo much food, and they make drink. Bones arent really necessary in mass quantities, and butchering puppies works well.

That sounds terrible :(
  • #197
  • 03 January 2012 - 05:37 PM
Yo, I still operate under the thoughts of old Dwarf Fortress. What is this pastures you speak of!?!
  • #198
  • 03 January 2012 - 06:15 PM
Its a Zone. Like the garbage dump/meeting area zones, you can make a Pasture. I think you can just hover over it with Zones selected ("I") and apply animals to it.
  • #199
  • 03 January 2012 - 09:18 PM
It has to have grass though i think otherwise the animals can't eat and just starve to death. just make a walled in area outside and have it going into the fort would be easiest

One other thing. What are you guys using to upload your save files to the net so we can download it? i need something to use for my turn.
